Have you noticed any hearing loss along with this, or was it just a spike in your tinnitus and hyperacusis?

...after just three hours in bars, even with hearing protection and substantial breaks between venues. When a car goes by, the intensity spikes again. I feel devastated. Some say it will only take a month to improve, but I’m not confident about that. I also experienced a return of loudness...

...you don’t use earplugs? Do you go for walks or visit grocery stores without them? I’m not sure if my tinnitus is reactive or not, but it spikes randomly. I’m also not sure if normal daily noise affects it. I was doing well for two weeks without any protection, but then I got a crazy spike...

...hearing loss don't have T. I've also seen that people who protect their ears and shelter themselves from noise seem to suffer from a lot of spikes. Could over protecting the ears cause the tolerance of a 'Shock' to lower. For example, lower db's will cause an auditory shock? Therefore causing...

I’ve had many spikes over the years. Dealing with one now. All I can say is, try to stay calm. I’ve had spikes last a couple days to months on end... but I’ve always gotten back to my normal baseline. Protect your ears. Exercise. Eat healthy. Speak to someone - it helps.

You may think you are well prepared. However, you should research real-life Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) values. They are often much lower than the NRR listed on the package.

I’m in a similar situation where I hear another tone on top of my usual spike noise. It’s quite scary, to be honest. Still, I have hope that this will pass and eventually return to its initial baseline. At least, I’m hoping that’s the case. Don’t give up, man. Even though it’s frustrating, we...

I've been using Dayvigo for a few years now, and it's the best sleep aid I've found so far. It hasn't had any negative impact on my tinnitus, and I don't experience long-term drowsiness the next day. If it could actually lower tinnitus—like Benadryl sometimes does—it would be even better and...

...discussion. I'm not typically an anxious person, but a severe tinnitus spike can definitely make me anxious. I've experienced so many spikes that now I mostly just: Suppress it with Clonazepam. Ride it out. Hope for the best, since there's not much else to do. I like the idea of using a...

What’s the point of hearing protection when they don’t work against preventing spikes?

...trauma, which started about 10 months back. I often feel a dull ache in my ear canal, about an inch in. It usually corresponds with tinnitus spikes. It's unrelated to noise, so I don't think I have what folks call hyperacusis or noxacusis. Does anyone else have anything like this? Of...

I’ve been fortunate that any spikes in my tinnitus have always been temporary (and it’s a looong list of triggers). Eventually, it returns to baseline, which is fine by me—as long as it doesn’t worsen permanently, I’m good. Of course, like all of us, there’s an underlying fear that it could...

What are these random spikes!? Sometimes they happen for no reason.. even with hearing protection on

(1) Insanely loud car revving in neighborhood. Way over 100 decibels. I am getting spikes from it while being indoors with windows closed.

I’m certain that anxiety is a major factor in causing tinnitus spikes for me. So, focusing on reducing anxiety is key, though it can be challenging. I have some beliefs that might resonate with others—one being that my tinnitus worsens with excessive use of digital devices. Since my tinnitus...

Are your guys spikes usually delayed? Like instead of happening the same night it’ll happen the next morning?

Are spikes from loud noise permanent? Someone recently asked me, whether a spike in tinnitus caused by loud noise would be permanent? I don’t think there is a definitive answer, because tinnitus is a complex condition and if hyperacusis is also present it can complicate matters further. Some...

The noisiness and stresses of life aren’t compatible with tinnitus sufferers (will always cause spikes/worsenings), so what do we do?

...earplugs, even though the music won’t sound as good with them. Once you have tinnitus, you tend to be more sensitive to new noise trauma and spikes. For me, masking works best for rehabituation after spikes, so I recommend doing this as much as possible, even at night. By the way, I highly...

I told him he should be careful around loud events. Mine is so different. Touch the right side of my head and it spikes. Move my neck to left and it spikes. Chew down with the left side of my teeth and it spikes. I had a head crazy pre all these problems. Don’t want to do another. I am advised...

My tinnitus seems to spike even just from walking down the street in the city for 15 minutes. It generally seems to take a day or two to reduce to normal. Is is normal for tinnitus to spike this easily? Do I need to wear earplugs all the time even when just walking outside? It's been four...

Will Dr. Shore's device prevent tinnitus from getting worse and stop spikes from happening? Or are we destined to wear hearing protection forever?

For the most part it spikes due to drastic weather changes or random medication. Sometimes I have trouble sleeping when in rains outside.

My tinnitus in my right ear became worse. Now when I move my head my tinnitus gets louder. Even when I move my head a little bit higher, my tinnitus gets louder. I hate it. But when I press behind my ear on the bone then it becomes softer. Does anybody has this also?

...I was able to find a quiet house. Unfortunately, I’ve had some dental restoration work done, and the drilling noises have caused periodic spikes. Now I’m just prone to easy spikes in general. To answer the question of what can be done—basically, find out as much as you can from the...

Ended up in the ER today due to crazy HR spikes. Lots of loud noises there, tinnitus is spiked now, not sure what to do

@dd314 / @Hardwell, did your spikes ever resolve?

How long did your hyperacusis last? When were you able to attend social events again? I developed it a month ago, and bells, loud music, and loud conversations are painful. How long should I stay indoors?

Your story sounds somewhat familiar to mine in terms of timeline and symptoms. I had it stable for 15 years, and like you, I experienced spikes, but they always returned to baseline. Even if it remains that way for 10, 15, or even 20 years, there are no guarantees it will stay the same. Once...

...when i'm around certain electronic devices (the only one i've been able to identify is a security camera monitor screen so far) my tinnitus spikes. i can't usually identify what devices cause it as i usually get the spike when walking past certain shops in the mall/street which means that...

One of the worst things about tinnitus is not being able to wear earplugs to sleep, but also not being able to use white noise due to spikes

Hi @Smartone202, How is your week going? All I meant was that, throughout my journey, I noticed I often had spikes when I was expecting them. For example, after a night out, I would perceive my tinnitus as more intense, not because the night out actually made it worse, but because, on some...

I get spikes 4-5 days out of the week.it is easy to blame sleep medication because it makes it seem worse. So do you take it anyway?

I have begun to notice that when I get a spike of t, there is intermittent pain deep in my ear on that side. So, for instance in March I had a few days where the t in my right ear was louder than usual, and I got moments of pain in that ear. Now I've been having a spike in the left ear for a few...

Is it normal for iphone speaker volume at 10-20% to cause spikes?

Any type of vibration, even just driving down the road, instantly spikes my tinnitus. However, I haven’t yet determined how harmful intense vibrations might be in the long term. After all, sound itself is just vibrations, and intense vibrations can feel incredibly loud, so I figure it might...

Hello everyone, the past 3 days I've had a sore throat and my tinnitus has been spiking more often but going back to base just after a minute and I realize it's a little bit louder now, is this normal? Should I take any meds or wait it out?

Any time I sit in a quiet room I get a temporary spike thats lasts about 10-15 minutes. This is not my perception, its louder. The same problem occurs when I wear foam plugs. Any one else experience this kind of spike?

My t has hit an all time high! It's awful, feels like my head is buzzing. Noise aggravates my t so it's not like I can mask it. I just took a walk and it's on full blast again. What did it? The birds chirping? This is hell. It's torture and no one should have to live with this this. Why isn't...

...spike at nearly everything. My bedsheets, my own movement, you name it. Do I need to plug up 24/7? When I plug up, it feels like my tinnitus spikes to itself. Will it settle without plugging up? I'm at a loss. P.S. I should also add that I tried plugging up last night, but I got a new...

Tinnitus for the most part is moderate. It spikes way too often for me to call it mild. I'm just enjoying life without worrying about it.

...making me consider my diet's effect on this a little more, and consider whether my focus on self-care should be on modifying my daily spikes rather than my very significant baseline. Check out the below thread for more information: NeuroMed Tinnitus Program — Founded by Dr. Hamid Djalilian

...on but still struggling. I’ve been doing well, overall. I’ve been meaning to write a partial success story, but then I get hit by one of these spikes (for no reason) that throws me into dark thoughts again. But at least, these days, I am able to convince myself that I’ll be better in a day or...

...can't be brought down to a safe level. I’m referring to situations where it’s not possible to sustain hearing damage, yet tinnitus still spikes. I know bone conduction plays a role, but it already offers around a 40 dB reduction. For example, if the noise level around you is 100 dB and you...
