Mine changes too. Sounds were a low hiss, then faint pitch tone Eeeeeeeeee and then low hiss but I feel like a small ringing is trying to break through again. I also had an ear infection/retracted ear drum... it’s in both ears though. Started last month. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

@Bill Bauer spikes are scary, the ringing keeps changing and that is what’s causing me to have massive massive panic attacks. If it could just STAY one sound I could eventually learn to habituate maybe.

@Aloe_Blossum I did go camping but not tent camping we rented a cabin with a bed etc. I didn’t carry anything while hiking other than a water bottle so I know that isn’t what caused it.

@tbhale20 no I wasn’t bitten by any ticks on this camping trip. My boyfriend and I checked. But thanks. And what is that? Antibiotic?

@ASilverLight I have it due to ETD too. It started while traveling again... it changes a lot though. Sometimes it’s a buzz (more bearable and really only noticeable in quiet rooms) but then I have this faint ringing usually more so at night, really depends, it kind of just changes, it can be...

@ASilverLight ya but how does tinnitus change with that? Why does mine keep changing throughout the day :(

@Tweedleman in the morning it is usually a buzzy sound more bearable and honestly doesn’t scare me as much. Throughout the day it can change into a faint higher pitched sound that makes my anxiety so much worse and gives me horrible horrible panic attacks. Not sure what to even do, too scared to...

Sudafed gives me horrible anxiety. I have ETD a couple years ago along with fluid/ear infection. I was not exposed to ANY loud sounds, don’t listen to music on my ear buds etc. the fullness just came out of nowhere after camping and my ENT said he can’t see any fluid etc behind my ear but my...

No I don’t notice it in the shower ever. Sometimes I just want to live either in my shower or driving lol.

I’m nervous on taking it honestly, like really scared but my panic attacks etc are horrible and making all of this worse. How is it changing a good sign? So I’ve always had t but it was BARLEY noticeable... until 2 weeks ago after driving through the blue ridge mountains I notice a spike. I mean...

No noise exposure, no concerts, nothing. I just notice it camping that it was slightly louder than usual and it kind of brought me back into that dark place I was at back in 2014. I asked my doctor about Amitriptyline being ototoxic and he said no. Not sure. I guess He wanted to give me...

^ uhm thanks? I don’t think that can produce tinnitus. My doctor did a lot of tests on me and didn’t even mention hidden hearing loss... idk, I don’t think that’s very positive.

So I’ve had tinnitus since 2014 after getting Eustachian tube dysfunction/back to back ear infections. The first few months I was in a very dark place. After a few months (I think 6-7) I barely noticed the tinnitus and went on living life and never thought about it. 2 weeks ago, the tinnitus...
