Screeching Baby Caused Tinnitus Spike?

My friend's baby is almost two and now screeches very loudly whenever he wants something. It's very unnerving. He'll screech two or three tImes when I'm over there. Each screech lasts about a second or so. When I left my friend's house today, my tinnitus was out of control. Did this screeching baby permanently damage my ears?

 

Permanently? My guess is no. At worst, I assume the baby's cry caused a temporary spike in your tinnitus. I doubt the noise exposure was of the duration or volume to cause permanent damage. But shrieking babies are annoying when you have T.

 

I read that a screaming baby is 110 decibels! Sounds like a firing range.

 

No, the damage is already done. Your little screamer is just irritating it. This brings back memories of my little daughter in the early 80's who saw me make weird faces and turn my head when she screached.

 

How long did the irritations last for you? Hours? Days?

 

Sorry to hear abt ur spike..Maybe last few days.. try NAC .. and get some good sleep..
probably good idea for u to invest in some ear plugs ...

 

no damage has been done, the sound simply excited your over active neurons.

 

go buy some musician earplugs they're almost invisible and they cut down on the high frequencyannoyance of your T and you can hear with them and it cut down on the spikes

 

My 1 year old screeches at me all the time and I don't think he has caused anything permanently for me!

 

Is that what happens? I definitely have anxiety right now. But then again, I always have anxiety, and it doesn't seem to affect the tinnitus.

I've had tinnitus spikes before, but they usually only last a few hours, and I always sleep them off. This is the only time where the volume was the same when I woke up in the morning.

 

Probably a few days.

 

Frigging babies. Shrill little crap-sacks.

 

Ours ears are not that bad, it's just our brain acting up like a retard....
