Hello everyone, i first joined last night and it's my first post here. I wanted to ask for some advice regarding a spike but a brief history first!
I have had tinnitus for a year, caused by moderately loud volume through earbuds. At least that's what I think. The tinnitus itself is mild and I only notice it in absolutely silence. I also DON'T have hearing loss or hyperacusis. For the past 6 months I have been listening to this neuromodulation track every day for masking.
I use it in the LOWEST volume possible 10-20% tops through SPEAKERS since my tinnitus is mild and it can mask it even at that volume. I noticed some temporary relief and my tinnitus was gone for a few minutes afterwards.
The past three weeks I decided to use headphones to see if it's more effective. I listened 3-4 times through headphones for an hour to an hour and a half tops at a time at VERY LOW volume over a two week period, so I didn't listen to it every single day.
The thing is that two weeks ago I noticed that my tinnitus is sharper. Not necessarily louder, but definitely sharper. I wanted to ask if it's temporary and what are the chances that it was caused by the neuromodulation track through the headphones? To sum it up, at a VERY LOW volume (15-20%), 1.5 hours tops at a time, 3-4 times over a two week period.
