        If this isn't temporary, I will write a detailed post about what I've done. Then again, a lot of spikes get better within a year so it might just be time that has caused improvement, not all the herbs and other dietary changes I've made

      Haven't had a low T day for almost 2 weeks. No idea why, maybe from a cold. Certainly doesn't seem to be related to music at least...

        Sure does. I'm starting to realize that music might not be a part of my life for a while or forever. I hope the situation can improve with time. Idk, many people continue making music it seems. Maybe it took a while for them to be able to come back to it

        I don't grind my teeth that I know of. I might try a dental biteguard anyway. My T is somatic yes, it changes with extreme neck movements. But I remember reading that something like 70 percent of people with tinnitus have that regardless of the cause.

        I did change a lot of things when I got my bad spike in october or november, perhaps the result is felt now? The past month I have been working on releasing tension in my neck and shoulders, been using many yogic chanting techniques to de-stress. Sometime during this month I mostly stopped caring about the T when I have it. I stopped resisting, and something changed.. Or so I feel

        I've been seeing fading the last 4 weeks or so, but it's never truly silent. It's still better than it was at the start, however.

        I think comparison to others can be good, but equally it shouldn't invalidate your or others' suffering.I see some people do this on this board and I think it's a dangerous road to go down.

        Is the tinnitus appearing more often or is it that the severity is increasing?

        It's been appearing less often the last month, but when it does it's more severe. Always wearing earplugs when outside of my apartment and I've stopped using headphones. Not sure if low music through speakers is giving me spikes or not, maybe I'll stop that for a while as well. The problem is that creating music is the most important thing in my life

        Thanks for your concern, I hope you are doing OK at your end
