...now, because I was already struggling with how things were. With the current spike, I’m waiting for it to settle down. Most of my recent spikes have settled relatively quickly, but I don’t think I’ll be that lucky this time. I really hope you’re right that a loud sound around 100 dB, like a...

I’ve had tinnitus for 20 years, and reactive tinnitus with sound sensitivity appeared about 5 or 6 years ago after a major incident. I live a happy, normal life with this today, as I’ve shared in other posts, although I don’t attend certain events anymore, such as live concerts. But I came to...

...hearing loss don't have T. I've also seen that people who protect their ears and shelter themselves from noise seem to suffer from a lot of spikes. Could over protecting the ears cause the tolerance of a 'Shock' to lower. For example, lower db's will cause an auditory shock? Therefore causing...

Hello. I have been experiencing suicidal levels of tinnitus, and it keeps getting worse. I have very severe loudness hyperacusis too. What I want to ask is - why is my tinnitus spiking so easily (almost daily) to noise that shouldn't even be considered loud? (I'm talking 50-60 decibels max)...

(3/3) In the past I managed to recover from noise-related spikes, but this SSRI worsening is something else.

Hello, I’ve had mild tinnitus since the onset of labyrinthitis in 2018. Since then, I’ve only had occasional spikes, most noticeably when I have a virus. Thankfully, my tinnitus was mild enough that it wasn’t intrusive in my day-to-day life. This year, I was diagnosed with hypertension. The...

I completely agree with this and actually experience something very similar myself.

This is wild! I can actually see how that would be a Band-Aid for certain kinds of tinnitus spikes, and I will be trying it today. I'll report back.

been suffering with severe dysautonomia (HR spikes to 180+ when stand) since I got covid in Dec. Being bedridden has made my T better though

Had my first glass of wine with a friend. First glass I've had in years....and since tinnitus. Pray for no spikes. Haha.

Are spikes from loud noise permanent? Someone recently asked me, whether a spike in tinnitus caused by loud noise would be permanent? I don’t think there is a definitive answer, because tinnitus is a complex condition and if hyperacusis is also present it can complicate matters further. Some...

My spike is worsening, despite not being exposed to loud music or noise. Perhaps it's the usual "think about it and it spikes" sort of thing, perhaps it's something else, but it's been very present for weeks now, and extra much so the last week. I'm thinking that a never ending light cold can...

...second activity, helping to maintain that effect. Interestingly, moments of forced distraction have sometimes helped me move out of multi-day spikes. For example, if I had to engage in a long activity despite the spike, after many hours, I would come out of it noticing a reduction in...

Does talking to people cause spikes for you guys?

Have you tried sauna? It seems to help me a little bit.

My tinnitus seems to spike even just from walking down the street in the city for 15 minutes. It generally seems to take a day or two to reduce to normal. Is is normal for tinnitus to spike this easily? Do I need to wear earplugs all the time even when just walking outside? It's been four...

...I’m scared to death. I try to stay off forums because there’s often so much doom and gloom, but I’ve written a few posts here during tough spikes and always found the kindness and support really comforting. I came across this post while searching for success stories, which I often do to lift...

My tinnitus in my right ear became worse. Now when I move my head my tinnitus gets louder. Even when I move my head a little bit higher, my tinnitus gets louder. I hate it. But when I press behind my ear on the bone then it becomes softer. Does anybody has this also?

Just as I was trying to sleep, it spikes. My reactive tinnitus is so bad I can't take off my muffs.

...stabilize it. What I’ve noticed is that when I take the earmuffs off for more than a couple of hours, even in the quietest room, my tinnitus spikes and becomes highly variable the next day. I’m worried that my environment without earmuffs has essentially become a form of sound therapy, which...

Everytime my wisdom teeth act up my tinnitus spikes too

...Sadly, I made the wrong choice, which I’m sure many would say was “putting myself at risk.” Maybe the question I should ask is, how long have people had spikes last? I still find it hard to believe that someone wolf-whistling in my ear lasted four days, while yelling in my ear lasted two weeks.

...when i'm around certain electronic devices (the only one i've been able to identify is a security camera monitor screen so far) my tinnitus spikes. i can't usually identify what devices cause it as i usually get the spike when walking past certain shops in the mall/street which means that...

...the two. The ENT I mentioned in my previous post also told me that my hearing issues, which are stronger in my right ear, and the random spikes in my right ear, diagnosed as labyrinthine hydrops, are two distinct conditions with no link between them. Honestly, it is hard to believe that...

I have begun to notice that when I get a spike of t, there is intermittent pain deep in my ear on that side. So, for instance in March I had a few days where the t in my right ear was louder than usual, and I got moments of pain in that ear. Now I've been having a spike in the left ear for a few...

Hello everyone, the past 3 days I've had a sore throat and my tinnitus has been spiking more often but going back to base just after a minute and I realize it's a little bit louder now, is this normal? Should I take any meds or wait it out?

Any time I sit in a quiet room I get a temporary spike thats lasts about 10-15 minutes. This is not my perception, its louder. The same problem occurs when I wear foam plugs. Any one else experience this kind of spike?

My t has hit an all time high! It's awful, feels like my head is buzzing. Noise aggravates my t so it's not like I can mask it. I just took a walk and it's on full blast again. What did it? The birds chirping? This is hell. It's torture and no one should have to live with this this. Why isn't...

I hope it gets better for you eventually. It still bothers me sometimes, but I am learning to ignore it and manage the anxiety. Sometimes I believe having reactive tinnitus is easier to handle. In my case, silence is what triggers it, so it is almost impossible to manage. I feel better when I...

How when they can't listen to music? I take this as well. How long were you on it, and what dosage were you taking? Yes, tapering is the way to go. Hindsight is wonderful!

I am sorry about your spikes. This is a guess, but looking at your ingredients, I think it could be L-theanine. The literature refers to L-theanine as a partial agonist of the NMDA receptor, which exerts its effects by modulating GlunN2A and GluN2B gene expression. I hope the Melatonin helps...

...this area (north of Sydney). He dries them and grinds them into a powder. In comparison, ketamine or esketamine treatments sometimes caused significant spikes in his tinnitus during administration. While it was tough on his tinnitus, the treatment was overall very effective for improving his...

Bad spikes and weird sounds, think because of massive wax build up. Struggling today! So anxious.

The barometric pressure can worsen your tinnitus symptoms, especially if you live in the Midwest region of the United States. Keep an eye on spikes when the pressure increases, or during storming weather.

That's good news. I'm sorry you've had to endure this beast for so long. I'm nearly four years in, and I'm improving at managing the spikes without collapsing. But some days... SOME DAYS! Jesus, take the wheel! :pompous:

I've been experimenting with different sources of caffeine to see how they impact my tinnitus. I found that regular coffee spikes my tinnitus significantly, so I switched to decaf. The decaf I drink contains only 0.3% caffeine, and it has helped tremendously. Occasionally, I slip up and think...

...level. After that, it took me about six months to habituate using the Back to Silence Method. To be clear, I’ve had to manage countless spikes over the years. Some spikes took me a week or two to return to habituation, while others only took a few days. Now, after 13 years of practicing my...

I’ve had many spikes over the years. Dealing with one now. All I can say is, try to stay calm. I’ve had spikes last a couple days to months on end... but I’ve always gotten back to my normal baseline. Protect your ears. Exercise. Eat healthy. Speak to someone - it helps.

Hey everyone I was wondering whether tinnitus spikes or new sounds (sometimes accompanied by a feeling of fullness and muffled hearing, often excruciating ear pain inside of the ear) appearing after exposed to very loud noises or someone shouting into your ear for a few seconds for instance, is...

...tinnitus). I went to a tinnitus clinic, and they insisted on doing a new hearing test, even though I had one just 6 weeks ago. Now I have spikes in both ears and a new tone in one of them. It’s been 8 days, and nothing has changed. I’m so upset and angry. I think it came from the loudness...
