Is it still bad?

@aura it's got a little better but still bad :( I hope you're doing well

At least you're not worse!
Have you tried taking some meds? Is it louder than before or are there some new sounds? Still don't know what could have caused this?
I was better, now i'm having a spike...

No meds. Do you take them? It's louder than my normal tinnitus - at night it's like a deep booming drone. Really nightmarish :/ Just no idea.. so frustrating. What caused your spike? I hope it's short lived for you <3

@Charburchar driving for 4 hours...it's pretty bad for me too. I was better before this episode. When i was at my lowest point ( i could't sleep because of the tinnitus that woke me up all night) i took Clonazepam. I only took the smallest dose 3 nights in a row,but it helped me a lot.

Now i'm saving it for the moments when i can't sleep. If i don't sleep,it's game over for me.

Ah I see, did you wear ear plugs during the drive? I dont leave the house without my plugs these days. Not being able to sleep sounds awful :/ Touch wood I havent been woken up yet though I do find it difficult to get to sleep. Yeah lack of sleep makes my T worse, it's such a vicious cycle. I will look into getting some Clonazpam if it does get to that point

Yes,i did wear ear plugs, but i guess 4 hours one day and another 4 hours the next day were too much for my ears.
You should totally get some Clonazepam. But use it only if you really need it,it's kinda addictive. Works good as a safety net though.

Oh that sucks :( I hope you've been better today. And ok will bear that in mind :)
