Hi there. It was an outer ear infection, that the doctor said required Ciloxan (Cipro) ear drops to resolve. I had no issues from the ear...

I didn’t do anything, just waited it out. I hope you’re okay, hang in there.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? My tinnitus got much worse since writing this yesterday ☹️ Could it be possible my ear has absorbed some of...

Hi there, yes it did :-) I’d say just try to wait it out a few weeks.

Hi there, did you tinnitus recover/improve some time after stopping the drops? I’m currently taking Otomize for an infection, and I’m considering...

Hi there, did you tinnitus spike recover some time after stopping the ear drops containing Neomycin? I’ve been taking the same drops (Otomize),...

I think so. My tinnitus generally seems to improve after a number of weeks/months from a spike. However, over the years my tinnitus does seem to...

Anyone else have any thoughts as to if my latest spike could improve to near pre-spike levels or not? 85-88 dB 3 hours with earplugs does not seem...

Thanks for your reply, I rarely go to places like this - haven’t for a few years. I’ll be back to wearing my silicone mouldable earplugs from now...

Hi guys, I haven’t been here for a long while, as mainly I’ve been dealing with my tinnitus very well and living my life. Unfortunately 14 days...

Does anybody else have any input in this? I have some new more intense tinnitus sounds, and also more sensitivity to noise. Will the sensitivity...

Thank you @Ylva :-) Ah yes, I remember that spike! It's hard to say how long it took to recede, as other subsequent spikes tend to get in the...

Thank you @glynis :-) I have told myself that. I think that reading internet articles about tinnitus from head bangs makes me immediately go to...

I'd love to hear this too.

Hi there, did your tinnitus spike decrease? The same thing happened to me last night, I banged my head against a cupboard and have a massive...

Hi there, how did it go, did your tinnitus improve? I hit my head in a similar way last night, and it has spiked my tinnitus quite a lot. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. That's what I thought too, though it hasn't got any better in almost 5 weeks. I have never had a spike last this long,...

Thanks, I am. No change though.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this spike?

Just as well I now feel better then! I do admit that I can see the comedy value in the title! Thanks mate.

Wow - this thread has really had some activity since I last checked in! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has offered their help,...

Hey mate, thanks for reaching out. I haven’t checked back on this thread for about 4-5 months - which is a good sign! I did improve, definitely,...

10 days on now and no improvement. If anything it’s a bit worse. It’s starting to affect my sleep and state of mind. I feel like I am slipping...

Sorry, I realised I didn’t answer the first part of your question. It was a couple of lines over the course of an evening. So not a big amount,...

Hi there @Lane. Thank you for the info - I’ll check it out :-)

This is something I know. The focus of my question however was looking for people with advice and experience in the effect of cocaine on tinnitus.

Thank you for your detailed response @MichaelSF :-) I am going to try and give it some time. I’m very worried though and I wish I never did this....

I will post back in a few weeks/month with how it’s going on. In the meantime, does anybody else also have any experiences with cocaine and tinnitus?

No, it was in a house so there was no loud music, just quieter speakers and loud voices. I also wore earplugs! I just don’t know...

That’s annoying man. Though it’s just computer speaker levels, hopefully I imagine you will be okay. Thanks, I will. I hope it gets better too....

Thanks. Who knows. It’s still really bad, so I’ll have to wait and see. I’ll post an update at some point.

Thanks. I’ve slept with them in for years too with no issue. I’m very confused. They were a slightly larger pair than usual (a newer model), so my...

Anyone else have any other experiences?

Thank you. I hope they do settle down like yours too! I have always been fine wearing ear plugs sleeping, which is strange.

Hard to fully say if it got worse, but it did subside a bit and I feel okay and like I recovered well in the end. So, even if it is a little...

Thank you @Tweaker Yes, that I know I do. It’s very difficult. Can I ask if your spike subsided in the days/weeks/months following your spike...

Thank you for all the advice guys. She hasn’t improved. If anything she’s got worse. Recently, she has shouted at me for two days straight, and I...

They are custom silicone plugs with a solid fill instead of an attenuating filter. Approx 25 dB, the audiologist told me 30-35 dB, but I don’t...

Anyone with any experience or opinions of this?

Sorry for the late reply. It’s hard to say. The spike definitely improved a bit, but not completely. I did however get more used to it and life...

Absolute BS isn’t it. I complained to my hospital for misadvertising, and they completely palmed me off, saying it’s all within safe limits etc...

I specifically went to a GE Silent/Silenz scan, and it felt uncomfortable. A solid wall of noise that was not quiet! That was today and my...

Thanks @Deamon22 That’s sounds reassuring. Did your whoosh go down as well after 1-2 months, or just the ringing? Also, when you say whoosh, do...

Anyone else have any wisdom?

Nope

That’s never happened before. Plus it’s not changed since yesterday. I just don’t know...
