Hi everyone,
I could really use some help right now. Please consider reading my post if you have time.
I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have been dealing with sudden unilateral tinnitus since April 13, 2025, so it has now been over two and a half months. After seeing several doctors with no clear answers, I was finally diagnosed with acute Lyme disease, which may explain the onset.
At first, the tinnitus was a high-pitched ring with some beeps and chirps. Over the past month, however, it has become extremely reactive. It flares up in response to even soft sounds like the AC, TV, or car rides. The baseline ringing remains constant, but the beeping and chirping are unpredictable and distracting, which makes it difficult to cope or habituate.
I'm using sound therapy daily and trying to retrain my brain, but the reactivity is intense. Has anyone experienced this kind of reactive tinnitus that eventually settled down?
Also, if you've had Lyme-related tinnitus, I would love to hear about your experience. This has made pregnancy really challenging, and I'm just looking for hope and coping tools to get through this and stay strong for my baby, who is due in November.
Thank you so much
Meg
