I think its 9 weeks now? As of two weeks ago it seems to have moved to my right ear, with no improvement to my left. No change to sleep pattern,...

Five weeks now and its still bothering me. I have the odd hour or so where it does seem to calm down but doesn't take long to become louder and...

Two weeks now since the start of the spike and no real signs of it getting better, but if anything its a little more bearable and does seem to...

I've had a few spikes in the past and they've always either resolved or my perception changed to a point where it doesn't bother me. I'm more so...

Hey Greg. The thumping did eventually go away after a couple of weeks, though I have no idea what caused it. Blood pressure was deemed normal so...

This is the first time its really been an issue, and every time I feel like things are improving I'd wake up the next day only to be back at...

So, just over a week and the thumping seems to have settled for now. Sumatriptan did nothing but make my headaches twice as bad, so went back to...

Well it was quiet for 4 days, only to return again this evening... I’m not really sure where to go with this now :(

A little update for anyone interested. Thumping seems to be tightly coupled with headaches, and as my headache faded over a couple of days, so...

Yep, that's fair, I understand nobody on the internet is going to magically know the answer to my problems :) After leaving a message with my...

@Greg Sacramento Appreciate the detailed responses, certainly a lot to think about. I think I'll try and have a chat with my GP and see what they...

@Greg Sacramento With my ear still thumping away this morning my blood pressure is 122/80 which is normal from what I can see. It may still be...

@Greg Sacramento So I've picked up a blood pressure monitor (OMRON M6 Comfort, if that makes any difference) Taking a reading as the guide is...

Thumping still clearly there when I woke up this morning, just accompanied by a thumping headache. This happened last time only the headache was...

@Greg Sacramento I'll pick up a blood pressure monitor as I am curious now. I'll report back if I find out anything after taking a few readings,...

Even if it has no relation to my pulse? I also find that forcing my head all the way down, looking at my toes, makes the thumping very noticeable.

After a couple of days it actually went away, only to return again tonight in the same ear as before. The pattern is still regular and way too...

After it seemingly disappearing the evening and night of the day it came about, it has returned again today after getting home from work which is...

Overall I think the ACSs are great. I have very small ears and ear canals so finding anything that fits is basically impossible, having these...

Problem I find with wearing plugs while having my hair cut is the vibrations of the clippers become extremely loud, much louder than just not...

I too experience frequent new tones. Sometimes last a day or two, a couple of weeks, or a couple of months. They appear completely randomly so I...

I'll give my custom moulds a go as I think they are better at preventing this. I'm just not a huge fan of sticking things into my ears that go...

78 with the windows up. The road surface is terrible and basically makes the whole car vibrate.

Do your changes hang around for long, or do they become your new sound until a new change happens?

Sorry for the late response, but the appointment went well, even if it was to just go over a lot of what has been said in the past. My girlfriend...

Got the car back just using my ACS 17db plugs in the end, turns out they cut the drone completely. Only downside is that wearing those increases...

Hah, I was genuinely interested on the view of hearing protection and loud cars, as I'm sure plenty of people drive about with horrendously loud...

I had an E46 M3 that I also regret selling, though buying a house was a little more important at the time. It did sound amazing though. :) I'll be...

Its a E46 330Ci. I had one about a year and half ago and I seriously regret selling it. This one popped up locally to me with the right spec and...

So again, woke up this morning at my usual time for work only to be greeted by what seems an increase in tinnitus in my right ear. It was only...

I've found that the flavoured water I have been drinking contains sucralose, not sure if that's a common trigger or not?

I guess it depends what is deemed high, I think the sandwich was 1.5g of salt overall. As for artificial sweeteners I've not really got a clue....

How long do these spikes last for you? Its interesting that I can eat junk food for a day and be perfectly fine, though a banana and a chicken...

Still getting pretty frustrated with spikes that seemingly last a few days only to be followed by another spike. I honestly have no idea what...

Not sure if anyone will be interested in an update, but after Christmas has passed I had a couple of days where I couldn't even notice my...

I've not had an extended audiogram, no. Is this something you'd recommend having done? If I'm being honest things have been a lot better over the...

Just as an unrelated thing, is anyone else able to make their tinnitus quieter by clenching their jaw? I read a lot about people clenching and...

I am indeed, roughly a 30 minute drive from my house. I was referred there after experiencing quite a short bad spike in the summer where I...

85db is the lowest Canford Audio will limit to, but I'll of course only be using headphones close to the lowest they'll go. The 85db limit is just...

So I had my second meeting with an audiologist over at the tinnitus department at Addenbrookes in Cambridge. After explaining my situation and...

Cheers for the replies. Unfortunately telling yourself to ignore it and move forward is easier said than done, and its this I'm having troubles...

I've not tried any active noise canceling headphones, though it was the Bose Soundsport in-ears that I was using when I first noticed my spike,...

Thanks for the reply @Kelvin The problem I have is music is pretty important to me. Being a programmer in an open plan office means headphones...

This. I found steam inhalations with a pinch of menthol crystals in works just as well, if not better, than a nasal spray for my eustachian tube...

Interestingly I've been using Beconase for a long time now as advised by a couple of ENTs I've seen. Basically I need to use it regularly as my...

ET issues was the first thing that came to mind as it was the suspected reason behind my original issues. I'm currently using Beconase with a...
