it gradually resolved itself. but on really bad days it's sometimes still a thing.

frequent high altitudes?

Sleep reset seems common. I hope you can find some relief.

You could try a sleep study? Possible sleep apnea.

@just1morething it used to be something I could always count on. It is no longer the case

Hang on in there mate. Have you tried different supplements?

Yup, its like cancer. It will destroy you eventually. Mine has gotten so loud permanently with many added sounds, its 60-70db of sirens and piercing tinnitus 24/7 no let up. Hey at least you have silent/maskable days...that's something to be thankful for at least.

I feel you there, sometimes it feels like if you could only get a break for one day you'd recover enough to handle it again. I hope you get a break soon

I haven't, I've just used very high quality headphones that can go up to 20k. I do know that around the onset of my tinnitus I had a major panic attack lasting over 2 days and after that it became the way it is now.

I also get one tone loudly when I'm either super hot or emotional so I wonder if blood pressure has a say in that. I know mine isn't noise induced, at least that's not the main culprit at all. No acoustic trauma before onset and not all that much loud noise exposure.

So stress/anxiety, along with a sinus infection and some other likely issue AND neck trauma... I'm just hoping that once some get treated, the tinnitus goes down too.

soz for the 3 messages lol, feel free to PM if you wanna discuss more!

Feel your pain brother, stay safe

Tell yourself that it will likely be temporary. Do you know what might have caused it?

@Bill Bauer I suddenly woke up to silence this morning, despite the previous days being horrendous. Thank you, you are right. I'm thinking it's the staying at home and increased anxiety that maybe played into it?

Yes I think it was the trigger. I was at high altitude and wasn't used to it, and drank on my second night. It caused so much pressure in my blood vessels that I'm sure it damaged something, as the moment I woke up the next morning I've had tinnitus ever since.

Could it be that whatever had caused your headache is what ultimately caused the spike in T?

There's no telling. If I take an antihistamine it sets mine off terribly. Took around 3 days or so to subside to base level.

@Bill Bauer I think you're right. It's gone now, doing much better.

How much were you taking?

@Auron I've been taking approximately 1 gram of turmeric twice daily, but it's part of a mixture called golden paste. You can find it here: https://www.turmericlife.com.au/blogs/recipes/turmeric-recipes-golden-paste

I feel your pain! Mine has been insane for the last few days. Thought I was a gonna three days ago. Hope it gets better for you damn soon.

Thank you so much. I'm finally getting relief and it's back to how it used to be this whole day. Starting to feel like myself again

Hi, totally relate to your frustration with this condition. How are you now? x

@Vicki14 I still deal with these spikes from mild hiss to devastatingly loud high-pitch squeal. The only thing that's improved is that I have virtually no reactivity UNLESS I'm in the middle of a spike.

Hi @Flyingsheep how r u doing now

I think you have a lot of hope with perfect hearing.

I hope so. Still stuck with tinnitus and it still fluctuates. This audiologist actually cared and tested voice recognition in noisy environments as well, and I passed with flying colors. So no hidden hearing loss either I suppose.

it's like my brain wants to hear something.

Is that pulsating tinnitus?

I might have a little bit. It comes and goes, but it's barely audible.

Also it’s un-maskable by any tinnitus masking track.

Maybe TMJ and/or neck?

Thanks, I finally have an appointment to get an audiogram on December 31st. That hopefully can help clear some things up.

Why you turned down?

Because I still want to give my T some time since it’s had moments of getting better, and wait to see how Lenire develops and if it improves. Right now it seems to only help for 50% of everyone.

Could you tell more about how it fluctuates?

It's reactive to certain sounds. It always returns to baseline when I wake up, which is some white noise in both ears. But depending on how much sleep I get, it can ramp up to a high pitch ringing sound as the day progresses.
