Learn from your mistakes. Having said that, most spikes are temporary, so unless it doesn't begin fading after about a month, I wouldn't worry about it.
This time I had that, but the most loud temporary spike I have ever had. It settled down, but not completely to my old baseline. A different soud as well. I'm pretty sure this is some new permanent damage. But I hope i'm wrong and you are right.
>sometimes you have these temporary spikes which last for 30 sec and then slowly return to baseline. Recognize that?
On this forum, people refer to the above as "fleeting tinnitus". Even the healthy people get that once in a while, but of course once someone gets T, the frequency of fleeting T increases, and early on after the onset many people get multiple episodes of it each day.
Many of us like to think that fleeting T is the body's attempt to re-calibrate and to heal.
Temporary T spikes can last longer than three months (but most of them fade within a week). Normally during those spikes one's baseline changes and stays at that new level for a long time (up to a month). Eventually it begins to fade, and normally this fading is very gradual.
Thanks a lot for you comments and help Bill. I really hope you are right and that it will go back to my older level, but still high level, time will tell. Your info is suiting.
