      Hey everyone,

      I would like to talk about spikes. How do you know it’s just a spike or if it’s permanent?

      Because what happened for me was that for a week it was terrible. I just couldn’t handle the noise and I was a wreck, then I adjusted. I got used to it and it went back to basic and manageable. Now it’s back to loud as hell and I think it’s because of loud noise.

      I’m hoping if I’m careful with noise again it will quiet down. My biggest fear is going deaf, which i know won’t happen.

      But like, what if it does, what if the tinnitus gets so loud its deafening. Feel free to share your thoughts:)(y)

      Definitely protect your ears from loud noises if possible...I don’t think you can go deaf from T it’s nerve damage...

      Spikes for me can last a day, or 5 minutes. It can be hard, but try to stay calm until it passes.
