So, it is now day ten and my spike is still going strong. The weekend before this spike I could go out into my backyard in the morning and not...
Hey, has your spike gone down?
Yes I did. I don’t remember exactly how long it took for the spike to go down. I estimate it must have been about a day or two, so hang in there!
That sounds great! Keep us updated and good luck! I really hope it benefits you.
I’m curious to see what people have to say, because my situation is exactly the same at work. I’ve been wondering about changing jobs too.
Thanks Ivan! The thing is that I am relaxed. And normally when I am relaxed it would go back to baseline, but now it won’t. I’m starting to wonder...
6 days ago I got a case of fleeting T in my right ear. It was a lot louder then normal instances of fleeting T. It went down after a minute or so,...

Thank you. I know stress can play a huge role in spikes, so maybe after a good sleep it will go down somewhat. Can a tinnitus spike last several days?
About 8 by 5 inches and about 1 inch thick.
Thank you. At the moment I feel really anxious, like I was when I just got T. Especially this high pitched T has got me edgy. It's like constant...
Today at work someone dropped a heavy metal plate on the floor about 10 feet from where I was standing and I'm scared to death it might have...
It has subsided, but my T is louder at the moment. Maybe after a good sleep it will return to baseline. Evenings are always the worst for me.

Is there anything that can be doen about TTTS? It probably is the cause of your ear fullness.

How are you doing Bbop?

In any case don't put a timeframe on the tinnitus going away. I'm not sure if mine will even completely resolve. It could take a year, maybe...
