Everytime i feel more "normal" i go to a kids birthday and realize im still VERY senstitive to noise. Im sitting thru kids crying, screaming, laughing and 2 ballons pooped like 4-5 metres away. Its like sitting on the normandy beach during WW2 and parents just sit there and smiling at the kids and think they are sooooooo cute.... (had 20-25 DB earrplugs) still very loud to me tho
Was on a "real resturant" for the first time in my life after i got worse tinnitus..... Lord what a nightmare, like 90 people talking simutainlously and those sitting next to us shouting and being very noisy. Hard to hear what people around me were saying so would say it was 80-90 DB. Luckily i had my Moldex 35 DB earplugs in. Was only for 1 hour but i was totally exhausted after.
Having a weird spike for a couple of days now. Been exposed to one scream pretty close to me, one door getting shut HARD by the wind because a window was open and hammering in a couple of nails fixing my roof (of course with dualprotection). Think it will be subsiding i a couple of weeks but a little bit annoying to get a boost in the sound
Starting to forget my tinnitus a little bit more again. Still think it spiked thru the wardrobe incident but somehow i dont "care as much" when the anxiety is low. I actually manage to work up the courage to prebook a trip to an all you can eat shrimp buffe in the next week!
Anxiety gone now after the wardrobe incident. I still have a spike tho. the only good thing about this is that i actually realized that i suffer from phonofobia (always thought so but now i know for sure)
Anxiety seems to mostly have subsided now which is great. Now im more "annoyed" then scared of the spike. Tinnitus still loud tho, hope it will subside
Still in the wardrobe spike. Anxiety kind off comes in "wawes" its like im feeling okey then suddenly i get heatstroke and getting butterflies in my stomatch etc. I hope the spike will subside when the anxiety symptoms end. Its not fun when u cant mask it and u have 2 more sounds in your head. Hope every1 is feeling well!
Still in the spike, anxietywise i feel alot better with less doom and gloom thinking but the spike is still agressive and loud. If it is bc of the anxiety over the wardrobe accident i wonder how long after the anxiety is gone the spike will actually calm down.
Still in this wardrobe spike, really struggling atm.
Today we drove past a construction site when i was talking to my mom in the car. I held my fingers in my ear while we drove past the site since they were using jackhammer right next to the car and responded to her question. I was like "wow that was loud talking with the fingers in the ears" i know that occulision effect can make it louder but there is no way that can actually be damaging right?
I am not as anxious about the incident anymore but im very irritated since its very hard to not hear it and im also for some weird reason im very sleepy.
imagine doing something so silly that running into a wardrobe could ruin ur entire week... -.-
Well the spike from last incident is here and very loudly, trying to stay calm but very hard. Funny how life was doing really good for 2 weeks and then a idiot incident running into a wardrobe door sets me back to having panic and high anxiety again. Always feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this condition.... Just hoping the spike wont be permanent.
Havent been in here much since ive been having some really great weeks. Today it was a loud sound. I had 2 wardrobe doors open next to eachother and by accident when going in smacked one of them with my shoulder so they banged against eachother making a very loud sound. Measured to 109-111 DB and it was right next to my ear :/ Hope i wont spike.
Last weeks have been goin pretty good. Only like 1 "loud sound" incident each week. Focusing on relaxing and just getting my mental state together. Feels good when u got some energy to actually do something
Feeling positive.
Had a conversation with a coworker that is VERY loud when she talks. I thought my Hyperacusis was better so i just took 2-3 steps back and had the conversation for around 1 hour without earplugs. Was so proud that i managed handle it decent! Today im paying with a pretty huge spike tho :/
Had an extremly important meeting and my coworker had borrowed my "portable speaker microphone" and hadnt return it so had to sit in a room with 5 coworkers with the laptop speakers on max trying to have a meeting. Man those laptopspeakers is like a drill in the ear, i handled it for 5 minutes then i had to go back and get earplugs to continue the meeting. Having a spike hope i didnt screw up.
PART 2
*rotating my head from side to side=SPIKES
*turning my neck to bring your ear to your shoulder=SPIKES
*bending my neck forward to bring your chin to your chest=SPIKES
*Ive always been able to make me ear scream by pressing right behind my ear on the "bony part". Just a coincidence that the SCM attaches right there? Might be a eartrauma combined with muscles in my case maybe?
Very intressting
PART 1 Today i found a very intressting article. I read this article and EVERY movement from the SCM spike my tinnitus while im doing it. I do have an old whiplash injury and i sit ALOT at the computer. This might explain why i get 2-3 weeeks of a spike when i try stretch my neck.
SCM Pain and What You Can Do

PART 2 (see part 1 below) Was only for like 0,5-1 second but it was like someone stabbed my ear. Pretty sure i got an instant spike because of it.
PART 1 Was watching a video about sound treatment in a room and i went into a calculator to see what HZ are being generated with certain room sizes. Didnt knew it actually played the sound when the mouse pointer howered over the Hertz icons so my computer speaker that generally are 50- 60 DB Screached out around 90-95 DB of the most unbearable sound ive ever heard.
This day atleast i wasnt the clumsy one..... My coworker fell over 4 chairs stacked on each other right next to me. Loud bam when all the chair feel to the floor and i didnt see it since they were behind me, everyone started to applause and laughing, it was very loud. Trying to stay calm.
Also to mention my Hyperacusis is WAAAAAAAY worse after stretching for some weird reason.
ive always wondered if my TT is bc of muscle from just anxiety/OCD. I have been stretching for 2 days since i got a quite nasty spike that i had for 2 months. After i stretched my TT is like 8-9/10 instead of 6-7/10 and its been staying for days. Maybe my muscles are just messed up from all the stress from this condition after all these years???? Should ill keep stretching or just let it be is the question.
Seems like the tinnitus is really flaring up now and mostly on the ear i hit with the rake. Im feeling very low at the moment and sad, im really struggling to find the tools how to make progress with both H and T that keeps spiking and i would say in the last 2 months it got like 20 % louder.
Urk im so clumsy. Was out in the shed with earmuffs to remove all the leafs that blow in during the winter. Stepped on a rake that went up with full force and hit my earmuff... Little bit panicky now since it was very loud on the plastic but hope it will not make a spike.
Man im so frustrated. We got these old doors at my work that are "hard to close". You need to close it and then push very hard for it to stay closed. My IDIOT college was closing the door right next to me but instead of doing it the right way he takes and close it by just smashing it shut super hard creating a superloud BAM, i wasnt looking since i was talking to someone else. Anxiety is thru the roof!
My tinnitus has been elavated for like 3-4 weeks now and i cant really find why it got louder. Ive had some misshapps happening but nothing extreme. i also feel a little bit "clogged" in my right ear where the spike is happening. Im getting less and less anxiety over "loud stuff" thats happening so thats good!
When i was digging without earplugs i hit a stone extremly hard with my shovel and it made a superloud KLING sound... Im trying to just "go with the flow" more now and not go into panicmode everytime i hear something loud, i also try to not overprotect when i do normal not loud stuff (under 70 DB). Hope i dont spike, just wanted to do some relaxing gardening. -.-
Its hard to do stuff in the garden atm. Need to cut stones with a grinder so i have had my dad come to cut them for me since its to loud for me. Tried drill and use a chisel but got around 110DB so i didnt dare to challenge it. Third time my dad is here now to help me cut for like 2-3 minutes each time... Man he most think im supersilly. -
