Might be a dumb question but I may be experiencing it at the moment. But how does anything but noise or some sort of damage to the inner ear cause a spike of tinnitus? I am now experiencing some tinnitus in my RIGHT ear for the first time ever (previously only had it in the left) after a spike...

That sounds like a bad case of reactivity if your own voice spikes it. The zaps sound terrible. I'd recommend you try a toothbrush with nano brushes; they make a lot less noise while brushing. Also, try to avoid chewy and crunchy foods for now. Cut up your food more to reduce the need for...

Yes. I'm actually 2 months into a bad spike from a scream at a family board game. The spike was quite bad, but has faded 80%+ in about 10 weeks. I have had other spikes too and they all faded, but they are scary to go through.

How long can spikes last?

How much L-Theanine do you take, and does it spike your tinnitus? I've read that it spikes some people's tinnitus because of its effect on serotonin. Does it give you any calming or anti-anxiety effect, which it is supposed to have? By the way, I read your success story, and it gave me some...

No spikes.

I took Dayvigo temporarily, but I have been on Quviviq (daridorexant) for 9 months, which is the newer medication mentioned earlier in this thread that is in the same DORA class as Dayvigo. I started on Quviviq and jumped to the max dose quickly, but after 6 months, I switched to the max dose of...

I have been experiencing literal tinnitus spikes recently, including sharp, high-pitched beeps accompanied by physical sensations. I’ve been researching conditions like typewriter tinnitus, neurovascular compression, middle ear myoclonus, and Tensor Tympani Syndrome. Does anyone have...

How many times have you been forced to resort to taking prednisone after the onset of tinnitus? Do you try to use this glucocorticosteroid for every serious spike? How do you deal with prednisone during a short course, do you not have inflammations and chronic diseases from it? Did you feel a...

I am not able to deal with my current spike anymore: I simply cannot get away from it and I am going crazy. Everything that worked with prior spikes is not helping at all. The only thing that helps is Valium, but that is not a solution. I have an audiologist appointment on March 12th: I hope...

How does a spike usually evolve? I mean, from the loud noise exposure or the onset of spike, to the settling down, how does things usually evolve for you?

(2/2) Feeling great these months. T is alot more stable and idk if it even spikes these days. I do alot of stuf withouth protection now

...know from the experiences of many members on Tinnitus Talk that things can change quickly. My progress has been non-linear, with setbacks and spikes. I’ve had moments where I thought it was improving, only for it to worsen soon after. The reason I’m posting this update now is that it’s been...

Vape and Nicotine causes spikes

...some faith that things will get better in time. I noticed that i’m having more good days, more energy and positivity, and that i’m having less spikes. Also the spikes seem to be less intrusive. However, i keep feeling horrible when i feel my tinnitus is going to flare up. Everytime it feels...

I have had many spikes that permantly reset my tinnitus level much higher than the previous level. I must be a unicorn or your generalization is false.

Hello TT! I started school like 5 weeks ago, and the first 4 weeks we have different activities each day. A lot of these activities includes alcohol. I have moderate tinnitus, but I have visited the nightclub we have here 5 times these 4 weeks. I have used foam plugs and haven't noticed any...

Hello everyone, i first joined last night and it's my first post here. I wanted to ask for some advice regarding a spike but a brief history first! I have had tinnitus for a year, caused by moderately loud volume through earbuds. At least that's what I think. The tinnitus itself is mild and I...

to my previous msg, I have T and nothing changes that (only get spikes from caffeine and aspirin temporarily) but pulsatile T was annoying

I have had T for about 3 years, and my sound never changed much in tone/loudness... In december I had to take 3 consecutive flights (about an hour and half each flight), and each time we were descending my ears had increasing troubles in pressurizing... By the time I got home in the evening my...

Been having one since Sunday morning, it is now Friday afternoon and I have been bedridden all week because of it. Been to the doctors twice, no actual reason for it apart from a virus. ???

So from what I understand it's common for a cold to cause a spike yes? and the spike should leave with the cold? I'd research through the threads but honestly I'm afraid of finding horror stories and lately I've been managing my anxiety quite well. The first two days of my cold had no effect on...

Hi all, Did a little test over the weekend. I traveled up to my brothers house by car on Friday which is a 2 hour trip. On long car journeys my T always increases and takes a while to settle down afterwards. I went up there without any ear protection (110 db in car). I put plugs in to come...

I've had T for a very long time (noise induced, but no tested hearing loss), now in my mid 20's and somehow my T has got worse (either from waking up to a wood saw being used outside my widow, a motorcycle that passed days later or the Omeprazole medication I stopped taking after a month; all...

Hi folks. I am getting crazy piercing tinnitus attacks during the night which is up to 5 x time louder than my usual level. I always wake up shocked and scared with the intensity of the sounds and physical sensations in the head/ear connected to the tinnitus. The weirdest sensation is a...

Been in the house for days! Protect the ears and go outside then come home and deal with spikes super spikes. Tensor Tympani Syndrome maybe

...attending gigs again with hearing protection. I also do quite a few gym classes with hearing protection in most cases. I have had a couple of spikes from the gigs and also random spikes which I seem to work through over days and weeks. I have a spike going on at the moment from a gig nearly...

@AnthonyMcDonald, how are you doing? Are you still sensitive to spikes?

I had an OAE test after undergoing microsuction because I heard two or three loud spikes in my right ear, which developed tinnitus that was never there before. I do not recall hearing a spike in my left ear, so it is possible the practitioner was “calibrating” the vacuum in my right ear or that...

...someone has had a similar experience? I’ve had tinnitus for 8 years due to acoustic trauma. Over that time, I’ve had a few significant spikes after being exposed to loud noise, but my tinnitus usually returned to its baseline after a shorter or longer period. Recently, I started...

...at 5:30 a.m. when I would normally sleep until around 7. It is just very frustrating and sad, but I am still pushing through. I know some spikes can last a long time. My initial onset of tinnitus years ago took well over a year to subside. But right now, it is still a tough time. Oh well...

How do you cope when it feels like every mild to moderate noise is giving you spikes and new sensations? I am wearing earplugs all day and am still getting anxious if I experience exposure to a loud noise (doors slamming, trucks or even just cars passing by, using tools or kitchen equipment...)...
