...I was carrying them often because of fire alarms in my building. In fact, if I compare this spike to anything, it feels pretty similar to spikes I’ve had when a fire alarm went off in my apartment. Those are sudden, unexpected, and unplanned, sometimes waking me up in the middle of the night...

Changing jobs, changing city, stress skyrocketing and louder t as a welcome gift. Still some days is up and some days down, but spikes suck.

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)...

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...

My tinnitus is horribly reactive today. Getting horrible piercing spikes that make me anxious.

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?

Do you find that nicotine spikes or quiets your tinnitus? It's the latter for me which is unusual from testimonies I've seen ?

...that one story of propranolol 10X-ing someone's tinnitus. My research showed that atenolol and metoprolol were more likely to cause tinnitus spikes, and that the closest other beta blocker to propranolol, nadolol, has a very long half-life, is rarely used, and has very limited reports...

...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...

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...

...it usually makes my tinnitus spike, and it did for one night, but by the next night it had cleared. I hear you on the benzo addiction. I had trouble coming off Ativan when I was younger. That being said, anxiety is something most of us deal with, and it may well be a major cause of these spikes.

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?

...everything feel much worse. Check where they have the most quiet machines, and ask for proper double protection that is well sealed. All my spikes and setbacks have passed eventually after MRIs. The duration was even shorter after the latest one with Diazepam, since we are less vulnerable...

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...

Thank you for your posts. You have a great attitude!

Weed spikes my condition. I just want to enjoy weed again. It doesn't always do it though. I had an SBUTT tonight too smh.

...took about three years to habituate and for it to stabilize or improve. It was a long journey, with many ups and downs, including occasional spikes. On bad days, it was already quite severe, but I also had good days that made me feel normal. Two months ago, I went to a dinner at my boss’s...

It is good that you have habituated for quite a while @Bob90 and I hope this continues. I am sorry to know you have been experiencing spikes. A person can habituate to tinnitus as you have, yet still experience spikes. Some people believe spikes are a normal part of noise-induced tinnitus, but...

...incredibly near silence since my acoustic trauma. Even if it is still there, loud noises no longer bother my ears and I rarely suffer from spikes, which I am thankful for. I have one tone in two ears when I used to suffer from seven in one and four in the other one - and it is no longer...

I've started regularly smoking bud again & just toughening through the T spikes from it. Bc the constant anxiety + restlessness is torture/1

I concur that they are dangerous, especially if they are played loud. If not done carefully, this can cause tinnitus spikes. Also, don’t take Aspirin whilst doing pure tones, as any ototoxic drugs can worsen the damage.

hey chat how’s it going (gets hit with a wave of tinnitus spikes again

No, you can't control the tinnitus. It will do what it wants, when it wants. Avoid loud places.

...not to be in the room while running the dishwasher or washer and dryer. Otherwise, go without it as much as you can when you’re at home. The spikes will calm down as your brain adjusts, but you really want to avoid total silence, and you definitely don’t want the only thing your brain hears...

...with another spike, and it has been going on for about a month now. Cold air, coughs, colds—I am not entirely sure what triggers them, but my spikes tend to last a long time. However, they do eventually return to baseline. It is incredibly frustrating, but it helps to remind myself that...

...I am really hoping you find some relief! I agree it would be easier to cope with tinnitus if the volume could be dialed down. I have had mine for 12 years, and it is extremely shrill and loud. It also seems to get louder as the years go by, with lots of spikes. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞

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...

This is good to know. I've never used the Peak or Impulse measurements, only the Fast option. This could explain why I've had spikes when I felt I shouldn't have, based on the decibel reading. I also struggle to make sense of any dBC measurements, as I'm not sure what the thresholds for those...

Damn last night I couldn’t sleep smh. Only got like 4-5 hours lol. I realize I can’t use my tower fan yet. It reacts or spikes my T

...while it was milder, but I think I slipped up with my use of hearing protection and might have made it worse, or at least caused another spike. Spikes usually come and go, but I’d still say to be careful. If it feels loud and uncomfortable, just use protection. That’s a good general rule of...

...30 to 33 decibels, tends to spike my tinnitus for days. I believe this is mostly due to the occlusion effect. I experience far fewer tinnitus spikes and less occlusion when using earmuffs, specifically the Peltor Sport model with a 30-decibel noise reduction rating. However, if you plan to...

...really anxiety and the overthinking of things that are fuelling my tinnitus? I've seen a couple of ENTs and Audiologists in the past about my tinnitus as a whole, but never spoken to anyone about issues I have with frequent spikes. I don't really know how to approach resolving my anxiety...

Hey everyone, I would like to talk about spikes. How do you know it’s just a spike or if it’s permanent? Because what happened for me was that for a week it was terrible. I just couldn’t handle the noise and I was a wreck, then I adjusted. I got used to it and it went back to basic and...

Does anyone else find that their tinnitus spikes when watching certain TV shows? Has anyone found any TV settings that help reduce it? For me, when I watch sports on my big-screen TV, after about an hour, my tinnitus spikes significantly in volume. I've tried adjusting the settings on my...

...for people whose tinnitus loudness fluctuates. The idea is that there is a baseline level of tinnitus associated with hearing loss, but the spikes are migraines. It’s so validating to hear him refer to tinnitus loudness as varying—especially when audiologists and TRT proponents often insist...

Damn this condition.. as soon as you think your making progress. Noise spikes and tolerance evaporates.

...dB reduction from Vibes earplugs, I spent 3 hours across 3 different bars, with rest time in between. 48 hours later, I experienced tinnitus spikes, pain while listening to the radio, and loudness hyperacusis. There was a significant increase in reactivity and a decrease in stability. This...

I have continuous high-frequency tinnitus - no trigger is required for it to start. But exercise is the only thing that spikes it. Otherwise, it just does its own thing.

...the same way, shrill and metallic. My tinnitus has fluctuated since onset 10 years ago. I noticed that immediately. But then I had prolonged spikes that lasted for days or weeks, during which both versions of my tinnitus swing around. The loud angle grinder sound plus electrical activity...

Thank you!

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?

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

...my tinnitus to spike, especially when I'm sleeping. During the night, my ear produces either earwax or moisture, which seems to trigger these spikes. This happens quite often and has been an issue for years. This morning, I woke up at 2 a.m. with a wet ear (moisture) and a noticeable spike...

...a result of loud noise exposure from gunfire. Initially, I would have rated my tinnitus as a 10, but now it is around a 3. I experience fewer spikes when taking Clonazepam in both the morning and evening. I rely on these medications, time, and especially my faith to sustain me. While tinnitus...

I'm the opposite: My tinnitus spikes from a head cold, sore throat, and fever. And that's not all the triggers. Usually, it's noise.
