Look at it positively. You got all four wisdom teeth out and you won't have to do it in the future. I still have three to go and with extreme H that will not be possible for years! I wish I had them all removed. You'll be OK :)

@Labyrinthine youre right! I'm going to do my best to avoid dental work from now on though! Thank you! :)

@Julien87 I developed t in Jan so I haven't gotten completely familiar with my version of it yet

@ASilverLight Thank you! I'm trying to remind myself that if it spikes it may just be temporary

@Auron thank you it is true

For me, sudden.

Sudden.

I was fine. If you're unlucky, they have to break the tooth into smaller bits and pull them out separately (all under local anesthesia ofc). I asked the surgeon to take frequent breaks due to T as the drilling is quite loud.

@Labyrinthine apparently I have bony impaction on the bottom so I'm worried about the use of drill.... thinking of just having the one bothering me taken out for now. And do bottoms later? Not sure what to do besides wear ear plugs

@Labyrinthine i got all 4 taken out at once and was put under so not sure how much drill was used. The nurse said probably only two needed drill

@Bill Bauer is there a a way to tell I'm having a spike or just being hyper vigilant?

When you have a T spike you KNOW that you are having one. If you aren't sure, then you are either not having one, or it is minor and you don't need to worry about it as it is even more likely to be temporary.

@Bill Bauer i had to have wisdom teeth removal so I'm terrified :( we'll see fingers crossed

Don't take neomycin. Aminoglycosides are proven to be ototoxic.

Agree with Kritszti. Don't take neomycin. It is what gave me tinnitus and hyperacusis. Totally turned my life upside down.

yes totally normal. I always have one bad side and one ok side, it alternates every day pretty much.

I think @Ed209 said that it made his spike, but went back to baseline after recovery.

Hi, there is this thread https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/coronavirus-sars-cov-2-covid-19-and-tinnitus.39916/

Yes, unfortunately it does happen. Check out

It looks like there are many posts about it, so if I were you, I would try to find something to replace it with and never take it again. Before you take the other drug, search this site to see whether there are any horror stories about it.

@Bill Bauer i have really bad allergies so I usually take zryctec lot lotradine And I don't have any problems with it

I'm having trouble too, Shelby. I hope we both get back on track.

Same here, speaker only, lower the volume as much as possible and hold the phone in front of my face, not next to my ear, in case it gets loud.

I use an external speaker for long calls. I find the noise of my phone built-in speaker a bit aggressive to my ears.

I also use speaker phone only. I actually got my T from a phone, so I no longer press noise-creating devices against my ears.

There's no gurantee that you'll get sick. Wash your hands, be socially distant.

Hang in there!

This is to be expected. Most likely this setback is temporary.

@Bill Bauer thank you. I hope so, I at least hope I get used to it again.

Be careful! Alcohol is ototoxic (as is polysporin, as is hydrogen peroxide)... I guess as long as it doesn't get on the other side of your eardrum, you ought to be ok. So if you use it, make sure for it to all go into the wound, and for no drop to roll down your ear canal.

Dude, same.

You are safe Shelby

Lucky you.

Same here, goes to show if our mind is occupied by other things tinnitus doesn’t have to overwhelm us. Be safe everyone, God Bless!

If you have hypertension, try magnesium and coq10 instead. How does HBp put you risk for virus?

@DebInAustralia it puts me at risk for complications and death :( they say those with pre existing condition get sicker
