    Habituated to Tinnitus — Now Experiencing a Worsening from a Cold or Drinking Three Cans of Fanta?

    I declared victory too soon: yesterday it came back to me! At this point I think it's not a problem with headphones and/or noise, but rather with the fact that I ate at a Chinese restaurant and discovered that they used MSG. I hope this spike is also temporary.

    Ho @Elinor, thank you for your reply, you gave me hope :) Yes, I forgot to say that the ENT gave me 3 nasal sprays, maybe it’s just for that. Hi @billie48, thank you for your reply. As I said, I’m currently taking Melatonin and yes, I’m using a masking sound, but it’s useless, I’m still...

    Habituated to Tinnitus — Now Experiencing a Worsening from a Cold or Drinking Three Cans of Fanta?

    First thing, I’m not a native English speaker so forgive my errors. So I first develop tinnitus back in 2016, I was in total desperation but after 6-7 months I was fully habituated... Until this Tuesday, where I got my first spike/worsening. The same day I became a total wreck. I really don’t...
