85 is not too dangerous, and it was probably just peaking at 85 once in a while. Btw, I also play the piano/keyboard, just not much lately.- Petronius

I feel like playing piano is not loud enough to cause a major spike.

I doubt it's going to be permanent if it's only one noise event that caused it. Are you sure you got the spike from playing piano?- Petronius

When I got into a more positive mind-set and stopped monitoring and listening to my T so much, the sound moved slightly more into the back of my head and became less sharp. Sadly, my T has recently spiked again due to another stressful period.- Petronius

Hi Allan. I think it was more likely that a few stressful events caused it, which made me focus on it and that made it worse. The spike started in mid Jan, and then got a bit worse in Feb and March. It took a while for me to stop being anxious about it, so it was only in May that I started to...- Petronius

Bouncing Tinnitus — Good or Bad Sign During a Spike?
Hi, Your spike is likely being sustained and intensified by your stress, anxiety and tiredness. It's best if you can try to relax and not think too much about the spike and whether (or when) it's going to calm down. I've been through a similar thing this year, and it only got better when I... -

Does Anyone Else Feel Their Head Buzzing? Or Have Hissing Static That Feels Like It’s Behind the Ear
Hi, I have a hissing kind of sound above the ear, in the left-center side of the head. Sometimes it can move and be heard in the right side, but its main location is behind and above the left ear. It doesn't sound like a wheel though, it's more like a high treble hiss and electrical buzzing... -
Baseline Tinnitus Disappears for a Few Seconds During a Fleeting Tinnitus
This occurs once in a while, and I was wondering if anyone else experiences it. At once, the baseline tinnitus turns off completely - there's a brief moment of silence, followed by a fleeting beep sound that lasts just a few seconds. After the fleeting sound has faded, the baseline slowly... -
How to Tell If There's Ear Wax Buildup?
There may be a correlation there, as my T is above the left ear. Though, I am not sure if it's about the wax muffling the sound, because plugging my ears make it louder, not lower. -
How to Tell If There's Ear Wax Buildup?
I see.. thanks for replying. I was curious because my left ear always produced quite a lot of wax, and now there's no wax at all, which coincides with a slight spike I've been experiencing.
