Over-using earplugs may be spiking your T actually.
85 is not too dangerous, and it was probably just peaking at 85 once in a while. Btw, I also play the piano/keyboard, just not much lately.
I feel like playing piano is not loud enough to cause a major spike.
Is it the same as your baseline just louder or different?
I doubt it's going to be permanent if it's only one noise event that caused it. Are you sure you got the spike from playing piano?
When I got into a more positive mind-set and stopped monitoring and listening to my T so much, the sound moved slightly more into the back of my...
Hi Allan. I think it was more likely that a few stressful events caused it, which made me focus on it and that made it worse. The spike started in...
Hi, Your spike is likely being sustained and intensified by your stress, anxiety and tiredness. It's best if you can try to relax and not think...
There is scientific evidence that some people's brains can switch off T? I wonder where can I find that evidence.
There is also no scientific explanation that T is generated by the brain because of deprivation of stimulus and hearing loss.
Tinnitus is not a result of hearing loss, otherwise almost everyone would have tinnitus.
Hi, I have a hissing kind of sound above the ear, in the left-center side of the head. Sometimes it can move and be heard in the right side, but...
This occurs once in a while, and I was wondering if anyone else experiences it. At once, the baseline tinnitus turns off completely - there's a...
There may be a correlation there, as my T is above the left ear. Though, I am not sure if it's about the wax muffling the sound, because plugging...
I see.. thanks for replying. I was curious because my left ear always produced quite a lot of wax, and now there's no wax at all, which coincides...
It does. Cheap headphones produce harsh sound with lots of distortions, which the auditory system perceives as unpleasant. In addition to that,...
I guess they don't feel blocked, I just find the lack of wax when I clean them very unusual. I can certainly have them examined, but just wanted...
Is there a way of finding out if there's a wax buildup, without having the ears examined by the ENT? I am suspecting I may have a wax blockage,...
I doubt it can get worse from 6-7 min, especially that your ears were plugged, so the decibels were significantly reduced. It's probably just a...
In the first few years of having T, I was experiencing the same thing: it would also get quieter after a couple of hours in a noisy bar. I...
Did the spike start fading when you got more relaxed about it or did it just subside on its own? Mine is just a little louder and more high...
Thanks for the links, Bill Bauer!
Hi Everyone, My tinnitus has gotten slightly louder since early/mid January (and again since mid February), and I am wondering if it's a spike,...
Hi BobG, I used to compose music a while ago, though I am not a professionally trained musician, so it was more of a hobby for me. Tinnitus never...
