Had an extremly important meeting and my coworker had borrowed my "portable speaker microphone" and hadnt return it so had to sit in a room with 5 coworkers with the laptop speakers on max trying to have a meeting. Man those laptopspeakers is like a drill in the ear, i handled it for 5 minutes...

Hi! I have thought I was imagining it, but every time I hold a longer meeting where I talk for 1 to 2 hours, or when I sit and stream (I am streaming games where I talk), the longer I do it, the more sensitive my ears become. I can literally feel them getting more fatigued the longer I am doing...

PART 2 *rotating my head from side to side=SPIKES *turning my neck to bring your ear to your shoulder=SPIKES *bending my neck forward to bring your chin to your chest=SPIKES *Ive always been able to make me ear scream by pressing right behind my ear on the "bony part". Just a coincidence that...

PART 1 Today i found a very intressting article. I read this article and EVERY movement from the SCM spike my tinnitus while im doing it. I do have an old whiplash injury and i sit ALOT at the computer. This might explain why i get 2-3 weeeks of a spike when i try stretch my neck...

I completely agree with this and actually experience something very similar myself.

PART 2 (see part 1 below) Was only for like 0,5-1 second but it was like someone stabbed my ear. Pretty sure i got an instant spike because of it.

PART 1 Was watching a video about sound treatment in a room and i went into a calculator to see what HZ are being generated with certain room sizes. Didnt knew it actually played the sound when the mouse pointer howered over the Hertz icons so my computer speaker that generally are 50- 60 DB...

Do you still have tinnitus from it, or was it just a spike? It is very strange, since it does not sound like an extremely loud incident.

This day atleast i wasnt the clumsy one..... My coworker fell over 4 chairs stacked on each other right next to me. Loud bam when all the chair feel to the floor and i didnt see it since they were behind me, everyone started to applause and laughing, it was very loud. Trying to stay calm.

Also to mention my Hyperacusis is WAAAAAAAY worse after stretching for some weird reason.

ive always wondered if my TT is bc of muscle from just anxiety/OCD. I have been stretching for 2 days since i got a quite nasty spike that i had for 2 months. After i stretched my TT is like 8-9/10 instead of 6-7/10 and its been staying for days. Maybe my muscles are just messed up from all the...

Seems like the tinnitus is really flaring up now and mostly on the ear i hit with the rake. Im feeling very low at the moment and sad, im really struggling to find the tools how to make progress with both H and T that keeps spiking and i would say in the last 2 months it got like 20 % louder. :(

Urk im so clumsy. Was out in the shed with earmuffs to remove all the leafs that blow in during the winter. Stepped on a rake that went up with full force and hit my earmuff... Little bit panicky now since it was very loud on the plastic but hope it will not make a spike.

I think it was around a week! :) Now, sadly, I’m experiencing a spike because my college roommate slammed the door with full force while I was only one to two metres away. It felt like a gunshot in my bad ear. I hope that will subside as well!

Did you get tinnitus immediately after the incident, and how close were your ears to it?

Man im so frustrated. We got these old doors at my work that are "hard to close". You need to close it and then push very hard for it to stay closed. My IDIOT college was closing the door right next to me but instead of doing it the right way he takes and close it by just smashing it shut super...

My tinnitus has been elavated for like 3-4 weeks now and i cant really find why it got louder. Ive had some misshapps happening but nothing extreme. i also feel a little bit "clogged" in my right ear where the spike is happening. Im getting less and less anxiety over "loud stuff" thats happening...

That particular spike went down! :)

When i was digging without earplugs i hit a stone extremly hard with my shovel and it made a superloud KLING sound... Im trying to just "go with the flow" more now and not go into panicmode everytime i hear something loud, i also try to not overprotect when i do normal not loud stuff (under 70...

Its hard to do stuff in the garden atm. Need to cut stones with a grinder so i have had my dad come to cut them for me since its to loud for me. Tried drill and use a chisel but got around 110DB so i didnt dare to challenge it. Third time my dad is here now to help me cut for like 2-3 minutes...

Ive actually had 2 days of VERY calm and good tinnitus. Ive even manage to hammer down conrete stuff that you walk on with a rubber hammer (ofc with earplugs) and no spike! So nice being outside in the warmth and do "labour" and just be able to be to good use for once! :)

Urk. I was outside walking with a coworker and they saw someone on the other side of the street so the one next to me litterally yelled STRAIGHT INTO my ear at the top of hes lugns for the other person to come join us. I reminded him to not do like that and he just brushed it off with "oh i...

Thanks for replying after such a long time! I hope your tinnitus and hyperacusis are better now. I got scared after being exposed to something similar and was worried that your “bottle accident” had made it permanently louder. I am glad it settled for you! 😊

@SaraK18, did the "glass bottle" incident settle for you? Or did it make your tinnitus permanently louder?

Was putting out the trash. Had one glass bottle and placed it carefully on a plastic bag, when i dropped it feel thru the plasticbag like 50-70 cm and hit a glass bottle that was lying down in the trashcan. Could feel the loud "KLING" in my right ear....Must have been a 120 DB im just hope...

It sounds like your ear canals are irritated. That happens to me as well if I wear earplugs too much. Now I only use the earplug Moldex when I am doing something loud, and the earplug Express when I need to be able to communicate.

Had a drawer out and somehow managed to get my knee into it on full force. Was proper loud and i got a slight fullness in the ear from the sound. Took NAC and Magnesium instantly. Hope i wont spike.

The thing i struggle with the most are meetings lately. Today i hade a 3 hour meeting with 4 persons in a small room of like 3X3 metres. One person talked SO loudly (was 82 DB on the phone when he was talking). I endured 1 hour before i just had to ask for a bathroom break and came back with...

Today there was a "heated meeting" for like 20-30 min where ppl where raising their voices alot talking about some issues at my workplace. i sat there like an idiot without earplugs and got stressed in this 4X4 metre room with like 10 people. Should just have put my earplugs in. Got a spike...

Been a really hard week with a loud spike that seems like it came after the change of wheelbearing on my car. Im also very tensed and i feel abit more sensitive to sounds. Im also VERY tired. on saturday its childbirthday...... Hate those birthdays with 7 hours of intense screaming children...

It was 2.5 years ago, a stupid mistake on my part, but things happen. Yes, I still work there, but now I have an office job, so I only need to be out in production for about 0 to 2 hours each day, which works reasonably well. I struggle with sounds like air guns, but I always use GOOD earplugs...

How did it go? Did you go back, and did it work out? When I first got tinnitus, I was working at a CNC milling factory. I wore earmuffs, but with glasses, and I did that for about ten years without my tinnitus getting worse. However, everyone’s tinnitus is different. I now have worse tinnitus...

Had no "spike" after doing all that work on the car yesterday but today its a little bit elevated (more hissy). Think i have been abit stressed under the night and tensed myself. Will see how it goes.

Any car mechanics in the group? I hade to change wheelbearing in my old car and i was force to use alot of "hammering" to get it out. I was wearing both Earplugs 35 DB AND Peltor 35 DB. Just looking for some reasurance because it was abit uncomfortable when there was metal on metal hit. I also...

I actually "forgot" about the incident below and i didnt spike... Weird. Last 2 days i been feeling energetic and in a good mood! :)

Urk. Was out in the factory and had a conversation with one of the workers, he didnt know the question so he yelled at the top of hes lungs straight into my face on hes coworker like 15 metres behind me for hes attention.... I could litterally feel my peltor earmuffs vibrate from hes scream...

Actually found this intressting find. My earplugs are 23 mm long and i always insert them fully into the ear (so much that i have problem getting them out) . So in this case it would mean that i dont get any occlusion effect i guess?

I was out in the factory and had to "talk loudly/almost shouting" for like 30 seconds with earplugs deeply inserted. Im currently under at spike and abit anxious about all this "occlusion" effect. I always use Foam earplugs and it sound "quiter" when i speak then without them.

Thanks A LOT for the update man :D

accidentally screamed when playing videogames a loud "F**K!". Ear feels abit full but hope i will be okey :)

Dont think i got a spike from the incident posted below. (more then the anxiety from the incident). Got alittle bit "frustrated" playing videogame and "yelledish" which made me abit irritated in one ear so kinda got a "fishbowl" over my head atm but im pretty sure thats from tension. Other then...
