Severe Two-Week Tinnitus Spike After Vacuuming Despite Wearing Earmuffs
Hey, I know exactly how you feel. The spike is terrifying, especially when it stays loud and unmaskable for days. I can only hope it will subside. Tinnitus is such an asshole. But I know that thinking about it makes it worse, so I guess our only option is to wait it out and hope for the best. -

Hey, at least you had a good day I guess. :/ This condition is so damn relentless, I'm going through a spike currently that doesnt want to fade away no matter how hard I seem to try, sleeping quality is decreased too. All we can do is keep our hopes up I guess.- orenge01

Tinnitus Worse After Tooth Drilling
Man, that sucks. I’m also going through a severe spike right now. I wonder if it’s the cumulative effect of those dental drilling sessions. I didn’t use earplugs during them because of what I’d heard about bone conduction. I don’t think I had a spike at the time, but several months later it... -
Yeah exactly, I think I've realized this too. The more I'm scared of the sound the more likely I...
Yeah exactly, I think I've realized this too. The more I'm scared of the sound the more likely I will spike. There seems to be some correlation there.- orenge01

@Sodlin Yes you are so right, thank you for reminding me. It's also anxiety that starts the downwards spiral, thinking of the cumulative damage and all, times I should've used ear pro but didn't, talking hours of exposure to 80db noise. But all that matters is what I do now and still doing my...- orenge01

Spike Triggered by Loud Noises in Underground Garage
I’m sorry this happened to you, man. Spikes suck, but they usually get better within a few weeks. Personally, I’m going through a spike right now because I was doing a brief, uncomfortably loud task without hearing protection. I even had hearing protection in my pocket. I do not want to... -

Reading this, I think we might have a very similar spike in terms of characteristics, this gives me some more hope that this will in fact subside, thank you :)- orenge01

90-95db personally already sends me into panic mode especially if its sudden. I realize I'm definitely not over T in anyway that I've previously falsely stated. It's more that my true setbacks and panics come in waves that I seem to ride subconsciously and start dwelling and worrying. :/- orenge01

We seem to be quite similar in the fact that I also didn't use this site at all because I was generally doing fine, but now with this mega spike I'm back here again. So it goes. Hopefully this passes soon, I'm tired of this monthly emotional rollercoaster which is T :/ I'm glad you got a lot...- orenge01

@Scruffiey Well I can say you were right. I was not smart to be reckless like this. And of course I don't want it to get worse, navigating through a world full of noise seems to be a near impossible task. :grumpy: Unfortunately it seems to get worse way quicker than it getting better. I'm tired...- orenge01

Severe Two-Week Tinnitus Spike After Vacuuming Despite Wearing Earmuffs
Yes, I definitely agree with this. I’m currently going through a spike because of a brief situation where I didn’t use hearing protection. The noise was around 70 to 80 dB, metallic and close range, lasting about 30 to 45 seconds. It felt loud, but I think stress is just making the spike worse... -
Yeah. But I think it was a bit worse this time, I was right next to a loud sound source probably...
Yeah. But I think it was a bit worse this time, I was right next to a loud sound source probably closer to 90db for like at least 30-45 seconds without proper hearing protection, only a hood, if you can even call that protection :/ I'm of course hoping this passes like all the other times but...- orenge01

I can relate. This spike I'm going through is very persistent and wakes me up at night :/
