    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    Has anyone ever experienced an increase in their regular tinnitus after having an episode of "fleeting tinnitus"? That seems to be what happened to me recently, which is unusual because I've had hundreds of fleeting tinnitus episodes over the years without any issues. Normally, the fleeting...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Has anyone experienced fleeting tinnitus along with muffled hearing that lasted for several hours? Yesterday, I had a pretty terrifying experience while out for dinner. I suddenly went completely deaf in my left ear, accompanied by a loud, intense tinnitus. I almost took 60mg of Prednisone...

    SBUTT (Fleeting Tinnitus) Triggered by Neck / Jaw Position

    ...Whenever I lie down in certain positions—like on my side with my neck bent—I can feel my tinnitus cutting in and out until I experience a fleeting tinnitus episode. These episodes usually involve low or medium frequencies, similar to my baseline tinnitus. After these episodes, I often have...

    Fleeting Tinnitus → Chronic Tinnitus?

    ...as I age but assured me there was nothing to worry about. It's been a month since the loud exposure, and I have been experiencing frequent fleeting tinnitus. I usually don't get worried because I have experienced this before, but not on a daily basis. It's never long (2-4 seconds), and there...

    Fleeting Deafness Instead of Fleeting Tinnitus?

    I've experienced many bouts of fleeting tinnitus, where the ringing gets LOUD for a few seconds and immediately trails off in a matter of seconds. I get these attacks maybe twice per week. Lately though, I've had what I would describe as fleeting hearing loss. These attacks are completely...

    New Tinnitus Tone While Sleeping? Fleeting Tinnitus (SBUTT) Turned Into Something More Persistent?

The ringing decreased by 60-70% after about two hours, but it never returned to its usual level. Then...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Have the fleeting tinnitus episodes worsened your existing tones or added a new one? Usually, I have so many tones that it’s impossible to keep track of them all. However, this fleeting episode brought a new high-frequency tone that feels more stable and noticeable than the others.

    Experiencing Ear Pressure, Hearing Changes, and Persistent Ringing — Anyone Else?

    Tinnitus Surges to Extreme Levels Briefly Before Returning to Normal

    I believe this is referred to as fleeting tinnitus, which is apparently quite common and something most people experience at some point. In my case, these episodes tend to occur more frequently after a setback, which I suspect might be due to temporary inflammation. For example, after taking...

    Fleeting Tinnitus

    Hi Dr. Nagler, I've noticed when I am stressed about my T, I additionally keep getting fleeting tinnitus (deafness in one ear, paired with an extremely high pitched tone which fades within a few seconds/minutes of its rapid onset). This seems different to my "regular" T-noises. It's not...

    Hey, Sorry I can’t be of much help, but I do experience this quite often. I have a lot of ear issues, and I get these “fleeting” or SBUTT episodes with the muffled or deaf sensation very frequently. They often last for hours or even days, and sometimes they become super reactive on top of that...

I also experienced a lot of fleeting tinnitus episodes after that, and some of them even introduced new sounds.

    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    Hey, the same thing happened to me. Did yours return to baseline? Mine never fully does. I think mine might also be fleeting tinnitus, but it never fully goes away and takes hours to settle each time. Every time it happens, my tinnitus becomes worse and louder, and it doesn’t seem to resolve on...

    Vibrating Fleeting Tinnitus

    Does anyone else expirence this? It’s a low vibrating sound in my head that lasts 30 seconds or so, then just vanishes. I’ve had the normal fleeting tinnitus where your hearing decreases and tinnitus increases/changes sounds, but I’ve never had this before.

    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    I’ve been experiencing increased tinnitus for the past three weeks, which started after a one-hour episode of what I believe was fleeting tinnitus.

    Sounds like fleeting tinnitus (sudden brief unilateral tapering tinnitus). Interesting as we don't know what causes that. I'd not consider fleeting tinnitus a spike personally. I think the least impactful sleeping med is Melatonine 2MG. This is used for jetlags and is available without...

    Tinnitus Surges to Extreme Levels Briefly Before Returning to Normal

    Okay, that sounds similar to what I am experiencing. My baseline tinnitus is already quite loud, but occasionally, I have episodes of extremely loud ringing and muffled hearing. It is so frustrating. What you went through sounds scary as well.

    Tinnitus Surges to Extreme Levels Briefly Before Returning to Normal

    As others have mentioned, it is most likely fleeting tinnitus. I’ve experienced quite a lot of those episodes over the past few months as well. It could also be related to your stress levels since tension in the neck can cause it.

    Fleeting Tinnitus without the Tinnitus

    Just looking for some reassurance. My T is on month 5. I remember having ''fleeting T'' before I had actual T.

I had a regular eee turn to an extremely loud siren & screams that's gone down to a gentle buzzing and hoovering noise over 4.5 months.

    Yeah, me too. I have been experiencing these episodes, but they do not last as long, usually around half an hour to an hour. Still, it is more than enough to freak me out. I also notice a lot of variation in the intensity of the blocked feeling, hearing loss, and louder ringing. Does everything...

Occasionally, the “old” tinnitus volume returns briefly in the form of fleeting tinnitus. Mild hyperacusis is still present, but overall, things are improving.

    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    You have some good questions. I’ve had TMJ for many years, but it never seemed to affect my tinnitus. I’ve never heard of an episode of fleeting tinnitus lasting an hour; typically, it lasts only seconds, usually less than a minute. As for your computer affecting you, unless it has very loud...

    Long Lasting Fleeting Tinnitus

    Could Fixation Lead to More Fleeting Tinnitus?

    Could it be possible that because of my increased attention to T lately that it sparks some some sort of mechanism in my brain by allowing more fleeting tinnitus pass the filter barrier?

    Poll: Is the Loudness of Your Tinnitus Comparable to Episodes of Fleeting Tinnitus?

    I get fleeting tinnitus often, and when I do I’m always glad my permanent tinnitus doesn’t sound like that. Fleeting tinnitus is so loud it seems to cancel out certain hearing frequencies and in my case it always gets steadily louder as it goes on (for about 35 seconds on average). I always...
