      Does door slams causes spikes? Someone slammed very big door and it was loud. It was 80 dB on hand held sound meter and probably 92-94 on phone app meter. I was about 6 feet away.

      I was already having bit of a spike but tinnitus was calming down since this morning.

      After door slam... it has spiked a little bit again!

      This happened to me, multiple times. The longest spike lasted three days.

      At least those spikes are temporary.
