It spiked 2 weeks after the first shot but I didn’t think it was from the vaccine. 36 hours after the second shot my life was over.

Yes! My tinnitus got worse from the COVID-19 vaccine. Ten months later and it’s still at suicide levels.

My tinnitus was mild and caused by Ménière’s disease. Then the COVID-19 vaccine made it worse and Klonopin made it suicidal.

Yes I got hyperacusis from it too! I have so many tones I’m miserable. Almost ended it yesterday. I don’t see it being better. The electric buzz, hiss and squeals are terrible.

3 months later loud as ever and just got a new tone two days ago. Suicidal. I have ten tones.

It’s the benzo. Those sounds are same as mine from Klonopin. I was on it 6 weeks, tapered 9 weeks, and got hit hard. When did you finish the taper?

It’s the COVID-19 that caused it, not the Augmentin.

No one I have seen has recovered.

As you should be. Stop with this and go to the hospital!

Might as well just pray to God. At least that’s free!

I think it spiked after two days. It was gone a day or two after finishing the medication. Probably a 20% spike.

Dexamethasone injections.

Get Intratympanic Dexamethasone!

What the hell did we do to ourselves??? Is this autoimmune or what? I’d love to know.

Only antibiotic that spiked me was Erythromycin and it was temporary.

Well I’ll make it simple. Either you live with it or you don’t... sad but true.

Let us know! Hope you get an answer.

Have you taken the COVID-19 vaccine?

@linearb, is kindling a real phenomenon? Before I went on for 6 weeks I was on Klonopin for 4 weeks and cold turkeyed because no one told me how to stop it, but I was fine. When I went back on it a few weeks later and then tapered I got bad withdrawal with tinnitus increasing and getting more...

You’ve had this since 2013 right? Has it gotten worse?

Keflex was fine for me. No issues at all.

If you believe other people, it has happened. Science doesn’t even understand why tinnitus happens so good luck finding any studies on why it could improve suddenly.

Try anything except Benzodiazepines.

Everyone has setbacks. Progress is not linear.

Might be worth a shot to see if you lost hearing suddenly.

Did you have pulsatile or regular tinnitus?

Have you checked your hearing?

I think Lenire is garbage. Be careful with the benzodiazepines, they can worsen tinnitus when you stop them. I’m a victim of that.

My tinnitus was a 1/10 pre vaccine. It shot it to a 9/10 and 12/10 during spikes. I also developed insane hyperacusis from the vaccine where it spikes to sheets and swallowing. I was put on Klonopin and steroids. Tapering from Klonopin made it even worse. I’ve lost all sound tolerance.

That is normal.

Don’t worry. It is possible for hyperacusis to get better. How possible I don’t know, but there are successes.

There is no evidence it does anything. It’s a placebo at best. Jastrebroff is a marketing genius.

Just use double protection if you really need an MRI.

I hear you. This puts you into survival mode when it gets bad. It’s tough to concentrate and it has actually cost me my job now that it has gotten severe from the vaccine. If it isn’t bothering you too much and you don’t have hyperacusis, protect your ears as much as you can so it won’t worsen...

Candida is real, but if you have noise-induced tinnitus, it won’t do anything treating it.

We are casualties that no one cares about.

Both.

If you have vestibular migraines, there could be a viral cause. Where are your hearing losses?

Have you been listening to headphones or loud music a lot? Any loud noises? Go diving or any recent colds or sinus issues? Did you get COVID-19 vaccine?

Because TRT doesn’t work!

@Eleanor89, what causes it to get worse?

It has been 10 months since my second Pfizer vaccine, which caused severe tinnitus and mind boggling hyperacusis. It has not subsided. On a non-tinnitus side note the vaccine also caused anxiety attacks that last for hours and visual snow. The anxiety attacks have improved slightly I think.

Yes I wore earplugs. I got hyperacusis from the vaccine too, so the MRI was extra loud. Many people reported worsening from it. I was OK after.

Don’t waste your time with the MRI. It might make it worse. It’s very loud.

Also, the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy aren’t real. Sorry if I ruined it for anyone.

Whatever you decide to do, I support you.

Not sure but AstraZeneca and J&J are causing same thing.

All I want for Christmas is a new cochlea

Lol heaven. If you believe in that I assume you still believe Santa brought you those presents!

Why risk it? Just remove it manually.

The humming is low frequency tinnitus. I doubt it’s vascular. I have low frequency hearing loss and it sounds like a refrigerator or engine.

it’s funny I never had these thoughts until tinnitus and hyperacusis.

The only issue here is if you don’t do a good job you can end up like Christopher Reeves but with screaming tinnitus. Now that’s scary! I had a close call with that.

You’re dead. You are ensured not existing. It’s neither peace nor quiet, you just cease to exist. It just puts an end to the suffering.

Hopefully the in laws don’t cause a spike that will make you void your spiced ham into the toilet!

How can you let someone drive you crazy like that?
