Does anyone else experience tinnitus spikes over the years? I’ve had tinnitus for 9 years now, going on 10. I had pretty much habituated, but over the past few weeks, the pitch has increased. I didn’t realize that naproxen could be the culprit, but I’ve stopped using it. It’s only been a couple...

I’ve read in several posts that the prep can cause spikes, and most people believe it’s due to the amount of salt in the prep they used. I’m reaching out because I might have only come across problematic posts, so I’m glad to hear you didn’t experience any issues. I’m just trying to figure out...

I recently tried Clonazepam to treat my tinnitus, anxiety, and improve my sleep. I found that it does nothing for my severe spikes (7–8 out of 10), but for moderate ringing, it does reduce the volume noticeably. However, it takes hours to take effect, and the relief is only temporary. Once the...

...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...

That's good if things return to normal. I get what you mean about "normal," as I also have permanent mild to moderate multi-tonal tinnitus. It can be particularly bothersome on some days since it's variable. On top of that, I deal with TTTS (spasms triggered by certain sounds) and occasional MEM...

Does any one get micro spikes after loud short event? Let’s say a restaurant? Or could it be SBUTTs? Have sbutts lead to anything permanent?

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...

(1) No matter what I do, my tinnitus spikes, so I’m starting to become convinced that maybe my spiked volume is my “natural” tinnitus

My tinnitus ALWAYS spikes/gets louder after putting in qtips, but if I don’t then my ears stay uncomfortably itchy

...in my ear. I first got sick on Friday, but the ringing did not get louder until Monday, and it has stayed that way for two days now. My spikes usually fade within a few hours, so this is unusual. I do not think I have been sick since developing tinnitus, so this is my first time dealing with...

This doesn't seem like a spike. None of my past spikes were ever like this. I have a brand new loud tone in my non original T ear.

Would you mind telling us what events caused these three spikes?

...news for the country and our allies. People will regret their votes when they lose their health care, and our currently low inflation spikes back up on everything with Trump's tax increases on Americans (via tariffs), not to mention all of the other terrible things with this convicted felon...

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...

I’m glad to hear that you’ve truly habituated, and that’s definitely a great point about protecting your hearing!

...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 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?

I try to watch my diet, knowing full well my tinnitus spikes from all the usual bad foods; salt, sugar, processed foods. I am wondering of the question on this thread; if we eat unhealthy and get spikes, are we risking worsening our tinnitus in the long term?

These reactive spikes i’ve been getting in my right ear are so damn scary :(

...above everything else. It seems to be making my baseline tinnitus louder, and now I’m trying to figure out whether these are just temporary spikes or if I could be causing permanent damage. So, I suppose I’m looking for opinions on the risks of using a headset for phone calls. Could this...

In my experience, this is overprotecting, which can further sensitize your auditory and central nervous systems. However, everyone is different, so it’s hard to say what will work for you.

...be there. Unfortunately, my fear of worsening my tinnitus is growing, and I find myself slowly drifting away from the gym. Reading about others experiencing tinnitus spikes from weight-slamming has also made me even more cautious. For those of you who go to the gym, how do you handle the noise?

...a nightmare on and off, to say the least. Since then, I've managed to get on with my life reasonably well, but I've experienced quite a few spikes over the years, all noise-related. Most of these spikes have subsided within a few weeks, though I believe one or two may have lasted over a...

I can confirm that I experienced significant spikes and pressure in both ears at a DJ event with 90 dB, even though I was wearing professional, high-quality noise-dampening hearing protection. From now on, I will avoid any situation with loud noise.

Does overprotecting make you more susceptible to spikes when you are exposed to noise? It seems like the more I protect the easier I spike

...I was also very concerned and scared that these episodes might be permanent. Long story short: things didn’t get worse. I still experience spikes, even after several decades of tinnitus, but they always eventually recede. Over time, conditioning happens for many people. Right now, I can...

...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...

Quick question re: CBD Oil and Tinnitus Spikes I’ll get right to the point. I’ve had tinnitus (unknown cause) for the past 1.5-2 years. It has progressed from mild to moderate/constant. Hearing tests are fine (mild hearing loss at higher frequencies of 6 kHz - 8 kHz). I also have severe...

Experiencing these horrible spikes is scary. Enduring four in a row is tough mentally. You suffer for days, and anxiety is off the charts.

...what I am going through, and so many went from a liveable situation to homebound. Damage control is pretty much all you got. Build a soundproof room. Limit talking if it spikes you and any noise that spikes. Being in quiet has made no one worse. If they got worse at being quiet, it was mental.

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.

...attention and move on. Recently, though, I’ve noticed something different. When I talk, especially in a louder or higher voice, the tinnitus spikes along with my voice. It stops as soon as I stop talking. If I speak loudly, it gets louder; if I speak softly, it’s quieter. I still have my...

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...

I think my tinnitus loudness is constantly cranked up to a very high baseline (with some variation, but usually quite loud). What I do experience are fluctuations, ranging from a blessedly calm, survivable hiss to a painful symphony of different piercing noises. Do you think he is talking about...

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...

I wonder if spikes will ever go away in time. Have a spike today but oh well. Surgery in 10 days. Suck it up buttercup! ❤️
