Low and High Pattern Tinnitus

Anyone have experience with T that changes from day to day? Mine have a pattern something like very low T (have to look for it) for a couple of days and when it is super low that day I expect next day will not be as low but slightly louder.

Another pattern is when it is loud compared to other low days, I expect the next day to be super low T days.

There is one day I took a single normal panadol 500mg and the next 3 days was super low days.

Anyone have similiar experience? What is the thing that can promote a super low days? if we can figure that out, then we can works towards always low days.

 

Lots of people in here have low and high days.
Figuring out a common cause that promotes super low days would pretty much be like figuring out how to solve T.
As you can understand, nobody has figured that out.

 

I'm having a high day today, after a few days where I thought my T was diminishing. It sounds like a lot of people have that. What's keeping me going today is the expectation is that I'll have other days where it's low enough to ignore, and that eventually it will either fade or I'll habituate.

 

Yes, I go through similar experiences day-to-day. Yesterday, for the first time in ages (years or months, I don't remember) my tinnitus in one part of my brain was barely there. But I wore my cochlear implant (to allow sounds in) doing everything, including mowing the weeds. At night, I knew not to count my blessings, it wasn't there after removing the implant prior to bed but hours later it came back and drove me fairly bananas. It all comes and goes.

 

It's very normal to have variations.

There are things I can control (get plenty of sleep, don't drink too much booze, don't sit/stand in bad posture for a long time, don't go to really loud events). There are also things I can't control (clenching my jaw when I'm stressed out is something I have some control over, but it's a natural tendency and it's hard to stop doing it 100%).

I think that it's wise to avoid obvious things that make it worse, but, past a point, trying to figure out what ever little variable is, just makes you spend a lot of time obsessing over the noise, which isn't helpful.

 

Same. Thanks.

 

Like @erik I have high and low days...recently I've had four low days in a row twice...a first. Not sure if it means anything. I gave up trying to figure tinnitus out. On high days I notice my tinnitus more often but I just continue on--I'm not upset--I don't react emotionally. On low days, I hardly notice my tinnitus at all except in the morning when I first wake up. For some strange reason my morning shower brings it down. Go figure.

 

Same. By the way your T how old?

 

@Thongjy, I've been reading in other threads that jaw-related pain (TMJ) can be a cause of tinnitus, and that people whose T is related to TMJ experience a waxing and waning, as well. Do you grind or grit your teeth at night? Maybe your T is caused by that? I'm going to look into this as a cause, now, I definitely grit my teeth at night. Today my T is higher and my jaw is a little sore.

 

I have high and low days with T.....as well as high and low days with ear pressure.

 

I do experience my jaw very tight when waking up which is the point of time when my T is high.

My dentist said I do grind my teeth based on the match chip off between top and bottom teeth.

When my T is highly lower jaw will be a bit sore and modulate the T sound by moving my lower jaw.
