Loud Crash of Dishes — Tinnitus Spiked, Hearing Reduced

My tinnitus has been improving lately, but I was upset at something and had an accident about 15 minutes ago. I dropped several large dishes into my empty bathtub, making a very loud noise, and my ear went half deaf for about one minute.

Now the tinnitus in that ear is higher, and I notice that I'm not hearing as well in that ear.

I'm sure that it will level off but wanted to say that this was the worst thing that has happened to me in the past several years, and I have had tinnitus for about five years.

Has anybody had anything similar happen to them?

Thank you.

 

That’s scary and I expect you may get a spike. Hopefully it will level off soon, especially if you don’t have terrible hyperacusis.

 

How is your tinnitus today?

 

Could be time to beg for Prednisone if it hasn't gone back down.
