...services are free. You can see a doctor, a therapist, a physiotherapist, an ENT, or any healthcare specialist, all for free. If you need an ambulance to drive you to the hospital in an emergency, that is free, with no exceptions. Apparently, just being picked up by an ambulance in the US...

The times I've heard it in my dreams, it manifests itself louder and more intense than an ambulance until it wakes me up. Tinnitus is so much fun.

...hearing rattlesnake noises around 4 PM. One morning, the noise was so intense, like a machine gun, that I had to go to the hospital by ambulance. Unfortunately, doctors often look at you as if you're crazy. Currently, I take a Valium when I wake up and two Endep tablets in the evening. I'm...

...the part of the brain that, simply, tells you what to pay attention to. When someone is walking down the street, talking to a friend as an ambulance races with its sirens blaring, it’s the thalamus that prompts you to pay attention to the ambulance and figure out what’s going on. Martinez...

...If I hear a car honk from a distance, the noise gets added to my tinnitus ringing. It can last to 30 minutes. Car honks, truck reversing beeping sounds, and ambulance sirens are some examples of sound that lingers with me. It’s beyond bizarre. I have hyperacusis and tinnitus that’s reactive.

I had very bad COVID-19 a few months ago and made a couple of trips to a hospital in an ambulance. I was worried the tinnitus would spike but my whole body was so messed up that nothing really mattered at that stage. It took me about 2.5 weeks to recover. I had a weird heavy feeling in my head...

Not at all. Well I had to take a break from work when I experienced the headaches at the beginning of the year. The only problem I have at work is that when an ambulance passes by I have to plug my ears.

Do you wear earplugs in your car?

Wow this is of interest to me. I have ambulance sirens in 10-20m range from me every 2-3 days at least once because I'm living in middle of large city.

IVe got exactly the same thing. The glassy sound you are describing and on top of that ambulance sirenes. The past months i only had it sometimes in the car and under the shower. But last week i worked for 3 days straight on my laptop. I noticed my ears were hurting because of the ventilator. It...

In an emergency situation, I plug my ears with my fingers. It's not ideal, but I find I can leave the white noise generators in (and they sound louder) and still block some of the noise. At times, I've had to walk several blocks away from the noisy area (e.g., fire alarm, construction noise)...

...by the medical community/surgeons. I used to work in a law firm and while I did, two of the girls with implants had issues where an ambulance needed to be called. One had hers "pop" and another had it shift out of place (24 and 32). There was another girl who had butt implants and was...

...75 mg for 7- 8 weeks, 37.5 mg for 7- 8 weeks, and approximately 15 mg for 4 weeks. I was about to stop taking Clomipramine, but then an ambulance drove past me. My tinnitus spiked (luckily hyperacusis was not affected), so to help me sleep I decided to take 112.5 mg for 2 weeks, 37.5 mg for...

Yup, I went from Mild T to Moderate (baseline)/Severe, it fluctuates from Moderate to Severe. Reasons are caloric test, vemp, fire alarm (twice), walking on busy road, car muffler, motorcycles passing by, ambulance siren, etc

...I don’t think it made my ears more sensitive as I actually biked home today and when I got home realized I forgot to put my earplugs in! Of course I really would have noticed sooner if a motorbike or ambulance went by. I went even so far as to protect in the shower at first but now I don’t.

Whenever I am outside of my home, I wear earplugs. I also carry Peltor muffs with me. If I hear an ambulance siren, or a fire alarm, it will only take a second to slip those Peltor muffs on.

Call an ambulance or go to first aid and ask for the prednisone? Or if you have money then private doctor? Print some pages telling about steroids+tinnitus so they will believe and take it with you?

The other day an ambulance passed by and the siren actually hurt my ear. When googling I found quite some differences in the mentioned pain threshold of hearing, ranging from 120 to 140 dB. Typically, what is considered to be the pain threshold?

I selected a few of the choices, but I am also very vigilant about protecting my ears from loud ambulance, police and fire sirens. I carry earplugs all the time. I wouldn't go to the movies, or a loud concert, even with plugs.

I have been hearing a new tinnitus sound for the past 3-4 days, it sounds very much like a siren. No real loud sound exposure I think. An ambulance drove by a week ago, I was inside the car with double protection. Dogs barking a few times, also with double protection. Can’t be that loud? Is...

I got caught by an ambulance once as I stood next to it . I think it did do some kind of auditory damage as I caught some sound sensitivity out of it. Plugging your ears does work though as I do this and I haven't had any issues since.

what can be done in an emergency? when it becomes too loud to tolerate? sometimes you just feel like youve had enough of this ringing. i know that the ambulance wont be able to help me even if i called them

Yep. Definitely. I’m surprised you didn’t call an ambulance and was not rushed to the emergency room for immediate surgery to have the nose removed. Also, I’m joking because laughter is good for tinnitus. PS. Next time keep shampoo for the hair only

The only person walking thought the city with fingers in ears, when an ambulance is passing by, is me! I have never seen anyone else in the last 4 years, but I don't really care! I'm the one living this nightmare:(

A short while ago I was taken with the ambulance to the hospital. On the way there, they turned on the siren. It is very loud on the inside too, of course. Although I begged them to turn it off, telling them about my tinnitus problem, the wouldn'T. The siren was not necessary, not at all, I was...

Hey I know this is an old post but it's relevant to me since the same thing happened to me today, except that I didn't even have ear plugs. How are you doing lately?

This is the 2nd time this happened. I was standing up and suddenly felt faint and numb. I decided to call an ambulance as I felt like I was going to pass out. I felt anxiety after the onset of symptoms not before. It passed but I don't know for sure how long it lasted. I would guess 5 min or...

@Rhea I would definitely take NAC (at least 1200 mg) for a week along with magnesium. It never hurts to be proactive in case you did get damage. I agree with @valeri about always having ear protection available. I keep my earplugs on me whenever I leave the house. Sometimes, I will rest...

...in car for 7 hours one way and 7 hours back on highway in car right before and after incident? Also was in city too around large crowds and ambulance sirens and a few times people honking horn for two days straight? I had ear plugs in most times, but the times they held down horn for 5...

I think the fucking ambulance caused a spike or whatever this is. I cried out loud last night and it is the same today. I thought it 'went down' somewhat when I woke up but it's back. I don't know how to describe it except as a spike. It's more intrusive and intense if that makes sense...

Yep. My mom sometimes gets it where she thinks it a jet flying over, an ambulance outside the house, and so on. I don't envy her.

So, so sorry, Ed. Praying for your family. It does feel like a terrible nightmare. :(

Do you get pain afterwards?

Spike from ambulance siren. Can't take this anymore. I can't ****ing move! No money. Sirens are going by constantly. I hate these people. I don't think I have ever read anything here about the science of spikes. I don't care if anxiety leads to any. I think it's important to know about...

I wish hard you were right. If it the ambulance flew right by you at high velocity, then yes. Happy for you. I was just stuck at one place and moving fairly slowly.

ITS an old post but maybe you read it. IVe got the same i have normal tinnitus 3 sounds. And when i'm under the shower or in the car i hear the noise of an ambulance. It seems Like it reacts from sound from outside

@MindOverMatter, got picked up by an ambulance last night, therefore my late reply. Had a big panic attack and could not breathe. I'm now back home, and the hiss is almost gone today. This is very strange. I can now breathe and relax again with no medicine other than the SSRI I've been taking...

Ambulance sirens are so loud in the uk, they always annoyed me, why do they need to be that loud especially when driving threw a crowded city street slowly with the sirens blasting away. Since getting T I have been exposed too this about 3 times now.

Can it go up when an ambulance passes by or when a fire alarm suddenly comes on?

Well said @Ed209 I have read posts in this forum, where someone heard a door slam or an Ambulance siren and contemplating going to a doctor to ask for a prescription for prednisolone - unbelievable.

...periodically. The dentist drill/ electric wire type is around 12000 Hz. The third one is much lower both in frequency and volume, but it's intermittently repetitive (can't find the right English word, sounds like a cuckoo clock and an ambulance in the distance), and I haven't measured it yet.

...of how unusual it was. I actually got better after a huge noise exposure for no particular reason at all (my extended family called the ambulance with EMTs that shouted and dragged me to the hospital) so by all logic I should have gotten worse but I didn't, and got better over time. I think...

I'm asking for him who has been 1.5 years since the problem, not us who are at the beginning...

Yeah, I feel the same, almost like they abuse and overuse their sirens in unessessary situations. Do your ears usually recover to baseline days/weeks after siren exposures, or is it ever permanent?

...the time is the biggest hurdle I am currently facing. I am in a tough spot because there is so much noise everywhere where I live. Apartment buildings nearby all have their air conditioners blasting from the outside, ambulance sirens constantly every hour and than planes/helicopters passing...

...guys, I’ll check them out Martin. I have ear muffs but there is no way I’m picking up the kids from school in those!! I already look a bit over the top with my ear plugs:) Shame about the higher frequency noise. But does it cancel it a bit or not at all? Say a screaming kid or an ambulance?

I have the hissing high pitched noise right now when it spikes. Sucks bad.

I got exposed to two fire alarms and did caloric test. This all happened in a week or so and BAM Severe Tinnitus. I think you will be fine honestly. When I had Mild T back in Dec I stood next to an ambulance siren and covered my ears. No Spike nothing.

...Not just bass for me though. In general, any form of digital sound I find to be intolerable, whereas 'organic' sounds are much more doable. I can tolerate an ambulance passing by (with earplugs in though) a lot better than 5 minutes of music through my speakers at low volume. It's so odd...

Hi recently thought I was hearing an ambulance siren when really it was coming from my tinnitus. Gets louder when I’m louder environments? I’m so stressed and worried I don’t know what to do! I have had tinnitus for 3 years and have been doing so good up until now. Has anyone ever...

...don't think they are really that effective for high-pitched noises like sirens, plus I wasn't wearing them unfortunately on the day of the ambulance..). I think something serious is going on too...I've had at least 6 incidents in three months of symptoms of temporarily reduced hearing, pain...

Hey! It's more like a painful discomfort. I can't stand loud traffic sounds (I have to plug my ears when an ambulance passes by) and I feel a discomfort even when someone is talking next to me these days. It also exacerbates my tinnitus. My tinnitus isn't that bad (there are people here with...

...cause was most likely pepto Bismo and aspercreme. The answer is that you try your best to stay away from obvious threats like ambulance sirens, construction sites, fireworks, loud public events,and headphones. Always carry ear plugs for when something comes up unexpectedly. That is the...

Well, I experienced the dreaded 60 (approx) feet away ambulance siren complete with air horn. Plugged my ears with the flaps, about 20 seconds of noise, seemed longer of course and my tinnitus flared and headache, etc. Anxiety has skyrocketed. Any thoughts or words of wisdom? Thanks—When I am...

Would you say that slamming doors, ambulance sirens, and motorcycles accelerating are "normal everyday sounds"?

It is impossible for you to hear tinnitus in your dreams since the thalamus goes into low gear. The reason you hear it is because you are very upset about your tinnitus during the day so in your dreams it manifests itself as things like an ambulance siren or other "real" noises.

Please, we already went through this months ago. Those are not lawsuits. Ambulance chaser law firms put ads seeking people in the trials, no one is suing FREQ.

...shelter one day, a bus passed a few yards away and that was like a jet taking off in the street. Now, 20 years later, I just avoid anything that might produce loud, unexpected noises, which is hard to do when a fire truck or ambulance is near. I notice that now the firefighters wear ear...
