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...

Yes. Then it happened again. Then again, and again. It's a remission game until a cure is available.

This is what I always thought, but if you refer back to @RunningMan's post, he states several who dropped out of the trial did so due to worsening.

Tinnitus spikes make me crazy and bring on the suicidal ideations, and many T sufferers have offed themselves due to this.

...after wearing earplugs, and I don’t think this is due to increased perception, but rather the pressure the earplugs apply. I’ve set some goals, and I’m working every day to reach them. My first goal is to be able to go outside freely (with protection!) without fearing spikes that last for weeks.

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...

Hello Ernesto, Thanks for your posts. I'm about to start Neurofeedback. May I ask which kind of side effects did you experience? Thanks for your answers :) Kindly, Arnaud

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...

I use Gabapentin whenever my hyperacusis pain spikes. It always helps even in small dosages (max 3x 100 mg daily). It lowers my tinnitus only slightly.

No, he means more likely temporary - i.e. a temporary spike. Most spikes often return to baseline after a couple of days, or reset themselves during sleep.

...if a siren is nearby. Sometimes, earplugs and earmuffs cause discomfort because I’m just that sensitive. I think most people experience spikes from it; it should go down, though, but who knows. A lot of people here suggest taking an NAC pill or Magnesium bisglycinate. You could search the...

...it. Stay positive and healthy, maintain a low salt intake, spend time outdoors, and cherish life during good and bad days. Remember, spikes in tinnitus will almost always decrease. Don't panic. Remind yourself that it will improve. Don't hesitate to try medication to help cope with any spike...

This is an interesting thread and shows how food, drink, supplements, medication, etc., have different effects on our tinnitus, as mine spikes when drinking alcohol. This happens almost instantly (within thirty minutes) and happens everytime. It would stand to reason that alcohol would reduce...

...my tinnitus disappears and is usually much lower the next day. When I go on holiday and drink every day, it stays low, and it's wonderful. Unfortunately, when I stop, it spikes for a few days. But sometimes, the respite is worth the spike. I'm lucky to have an out for those days when you need it.

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...)...

No spikes.

According to Dr. Shore's Q&A, from what I can recall, she could only contribute one "worsening" to her device. Other factors were present in the other cases, and I'm not sure any of them were permanent worsenings, just spikes.

I have had spikes lasting a month or more. The last spike I had from the dentist lasted only around a week. Another time more recently I had a crown and pin drilled out, which was the loudest, most obnoxious sound ever. I'm amazed I didn't get a spike, but I had discussed taking gaps during...

...just like regular salt, but you do need to be cautious not to consume too much of it. I’ve also read that some people experience tinnitus spikes after eating high amounts of protein, such as large servings of steak, shrimp, fish, or even drinking protein powders. I’ve experienced this myself...

Do you have reactive tinnitus?

Stop being paranoid freaks. Viagra increases nitric oxide which increases blood vessel dilation. Just like physical exercise can cause tinnitus spikes, so might this. Pull yourselves together and live your best life.

Ginkgo biloba spikes mine like crazy, yet another expensive supplement that doesn’t help!

...Magnesium and quitting smoking made it a lot better. I did another hearing test & tympanometry, and everything looks alright. I have started to believe it is something from my neck, spine, or jaw, but it's just an assumption. I'm generally better, but on some days, I have spikes for no reason.

...consult an ENT if you want to be sure. Your best bet is to protect your ears and wait it out. You could try taking some vitamins that are good for your ears, but those may not help much or at all. I've heard of long-lasting spikes. It's best to try to stay as calm as you can and nurture your...

How long can spikes last?

...exposure. It’s now a little less high-pitched, but the bigger challenge is that I can’t seem to mask it properly anymore. When my tinnitus spikes, it feels like central tinnitus with a rattling sensation. Additionally, my left ear has been noticeably different since my last dose of NAC. I’m...

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.

Vape and Nicotine causes spikes

I've got a job where I drive up the mountain and down it several times per day. We're talking from around 500m to, at the most, 1500m. Although I can equalize pressure without much issue (usually by yawning), I have recently spiked again... was horrible, couldn't sleep one night with piercing...

That’s a good example of what I mean. If it actually was 90 dB and your hearing protection was applied correctly, there can't have been any physical damage to your ears. Either it was not really 90 dB (a-weighted measurements don’t show the real noise exposure), the hearing protection was not...

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

...I own a 900cc Triumph, and it's fairly loud, although I always wear a helmet. However, I don’t use earplugs. After riding, my tinnitus spikes slightly but eventually returns to what I perceive as a moderate level—not severe, but not mild either. It seems to be a combination of the wind noise...

(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

...Glycinate and L-Threonate (Magtein) for over a year now since discovering their benefits for the ears. I can happily report that I’ve had no spikes whatsoever related to taking them. I try to take Magtein more often since it can cross the blood-brain barrier, but I run out of it more...

...me to tell if I’m spiking or not from these things. If I’m being honest, I’m not particularly worried about supplements potentially causing spikes. After trying so many of them, the results have been consistent across the board except for NAC — it hasn't had any noticeable effect on my...

Hello everyone. I was wondering, if your tinnitus settles down (after the intervention of whatever deity you believe in), and now it is time to worry about loud noises that could set it off. Do either low or high frequency sounds pose a greater threat in setting off your tinnitus? I have...
