    How loud is your baseline? I understand you have quite high pitch tinnitus? The thing with high pitch is that althoug not that loud it can be heard over almost everything, I often wonder if mine is reactive as it seems the louder I turn up fans, white noise, AC etc, the more prominent my hissing...

    @SarahMLFlemmer and because I have that sudden hearing loss/damage, I most likely am stuck with some kind of T, but it’s the reactivity and super high frequency (12k hz and up) awful whiny piercing pitches that I need to diminish over time. I have other tones in the 2000-3000 hz range but they...

    Hey @SmallRonnie when you say both ears do you mean your T is central/head tinnitus or actually in your ears? Your T sounds similar to mine except mine is reactive and my hearing is perfect to 16k as well and a normal ABR.

    Reactive Tinnitus vs. Hyperacusis, Which One Is Worse to Deal/Live With?

    I have reactive T along with the normal T and I'm really struggling with it. While the normal T could be masked with background noise, it makes my reactive T noise go nuts, it sounds like a jet engine. So makes it near impossible to habituate to.

    I'm actually doing quite a bit better these days. I still have a moderate T and H baseline, but it's tolerable and much less reactive. I'm counting my blessings, but I know you're never truly out of the woods when it comes to this stuff. I do really appreciate you checking up on me. It means a lot.

    5 Months of Tinnitus and Now I'm Here for Help

    My T hasn't been reactive, and I confess to not paying enough attention when reading posts by people with reactive T. Hopefully someone with this type of T will be able to answer your question. You might also consider avoidance.

    Did Acupuncture Make Your Tinnitus Worse?

    If you have reactive T/H I would consider giving LLLT a try instead. My reactive effects are mostly gone by 80% and it was quite bad a few months ago. Won't cure baseline T but habituation will be a lot easier once the reactive part is out of the picture. And sound quality better too

    @Guywithapug its insane. I don’t react to my faucet at home but my friends faucet? Absolutely insane how loud the reactive t gets. @Marshall my original T for 20 years was stable. This is something completely different that I had no clue could ever get this bad. I really take it for granted…

    @sakrt. I agree with climate change but either way you said "mix of autophony, hyperacusis which immediately ramps up reactive T" I'm going to pay more attn to. Not that it would lead to some great breakthrough but just mentally prepare myself.

    Anyone Had to Quit Working Because of Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

    I'm not sure about trt with reactive tinnitus. I have the exact same thing as you. My T creeps up and over whatever might mask it to start. I stopped using white noise at night, I wake up with my T at baseline instead of ramped up competing with the white noise. I also find my H a lot better...

    Question About Hearing Frequencies and My Tinnitus

    Not a definitive answer here but if your at is reactive then I would say most likely,a lot of noise induced T people experience reactive T,I don't think I've seen too many if any for that matter who had reactive T from anything else. I could be wrong,if I am then someone can correct me.

    The Term Reactive Tinnitus

    Huh. I've always claimed to not have H. But I definitely have reactive tinnitus. There was a point when my TMJ got super bad that I started to develop mild H. However, it was brief. Reactive T has stuck around regardless. Great topic it's interesting to see if people have both H and...

    If you try, be careful and pay attention to any increase in tinnitus intensity. We, with reactive tinnitus, won the lottery omg. I think the TRT help «decrease» the T for some people because it helps them to habituate, they stay calmer and consequently the brain stops focusing so much in the...

    I still use my crickets at night. As much as they don't block out the reactive T completey. I still concentrate on it enough to distract me from my ringing ear and I managed to fall asleep last night and woke up once in the night. Chamomile tea and lavender spary was also used.

    Reactive Tinnitus or Something Else?

    My low frequency t reacts to static sounds around the same frequency as my t - fans, traffic, generators, fridge etc. That reaction goes down as soon as the stimulus is removed however. Reactive tinnitus is defined as t that reacts, but stays reactive for hours after the outside stimulus is removed.

    'Winding Up' Tinnitus... Does It Settle?

    I have had my reactive T improve over time before. But I think there will always be some reactivity to it, just reduction over time. If it is linked to hyperacusis (notice most people with reactive T also have H) perhaps it can go away if H does.

    Reactive Tinnitus on a Whole New Level

    Hi JLP, yes its been reactive since the beginning. But have hope as mine has become less reactive over the years. It took a least a year for me to start to notice and its important not to worsen your tinnitus during that time. Do that and improvement is very likely.
