Everytime my wisdom teeth act up my tinnitus spikes too

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

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.

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...

I realized that prior to my spike from last night I took 750mg Calcium (because of the prednisolone I am (or was) taking). I kinda remember that Ca+ channels are supposed to play a role in tinnitus so might a higher Ca+ intake cause a spike maybe?

...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...

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

...I have severe hyperacusis and reactive tinnitus, so I often wear noise-canceling headphones to reduce the sound pressure level and prevent spikes. I know some people advise against it, but I really don’t have a choice. My reactive symptoms have improved a little, but I still can’t handle...

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.

...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...

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

...Firstly it started only in left ear. Hissing would come and go for a while and then come back again. It was still manageable with occasional spikes. Then I become guinea pig for doctors trying me on lots of different medication mostly benzos for my worsening insomnia. My tinnitus become more...

...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...

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’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...

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.

The oddest thing is I get this crazy high pitched pulsating spike whenever I go into my bedroom. It only pulsates or goes to the high of a pitch in my bedroom. Nobody of course hears anything odd. I got a sound meter and the sound level is the same as other rooms. fan, sound machine...

Does anyone's tinnitus seem to spike after a meal? Mien sure does. It seems the bigger the meal the bigger the spike. It was miserably loud then I just ate a large meal, and holy crap!

My tinnitus becomes worse when I am using the gas fireplace. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this or have an explanation?

Is anyone affected by eating cheese? I like Swiss cheese on whole grain bread but my tinnitus seems to go through the roof after I eat some. I can't believe just cheese could make the volume rise that much and so quickly.

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...

Hello all. I am now into my ninth month now with the T and have from about six weeks ago started on the TRT direction, I have a little in canal hearing aid that has been set to pick up the slight hearing loss I have in the high frequency area, whole idea here is of course eventual habituation as...

still very new to this,but was actually doing pretty well the last 2 days. I didn't really sleep well since last Tuesday averaging 3 - 4 hours a night,but Saturday I came home from work and basically willed myself to take about a 4 hour nap, then went to bed early and felt pretty refreshed...

What’s the point of hearing protection when they don’t work against preventing spikes?

...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.

...just wanted some advice regarding regular tinnitus. I've had tinnitus for a very long time but the past year or so I have been getting daily spikes, sometimes this lasts 10 to 15 seconds like a fleeting tinnitus. Other times it can last hours. So I firstly wondered if anyone else had this...

I told him he should be careful around loud events. Mine is so different. Touch the right side of my head and it spikes. Move my neck to left and it spikes. Chew down with the left side of my teeth and it spikes. I had a head crazy pre all these problems. Don’t want to do another. I am advised...

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:

What are these random spikes!? Sometimes they happen for no reason.. even with hearing protection on

...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...

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...

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...

Are your guys spikes usually delayed? Like instead of happening the same night it’ll happen the next morning?

(1) Insanely loud car revving in neighborhood. Way over 100 decibels. I am getting spikes from it while being indoors with windows closed.

...in both ears, though thinking I'm just getting myself paranoid at this point. I'm worried because I hear most people saying that temporary spikes settle within 48-72 hrs usually, while mine has stayed elevated going on 2 weeks now, and I'm hoping I'm not messing up by not getting in to...

The noisiness and stresses of life aren’t compatible with tinnitus sufferers (will always cause spikes/worsenings), so what do we do?

@dd314 / @Hardwell, did your spikes ever resolve?

...after just three hours in bars, even with hearing protection and substantial breaks between venues. When a car goes by, the intensity spikes again. I feel devastated. Some say it will only take a month to improve, but I’m not confident about that. I also experienced a return of loudness...
