      Me.
      My longest spike was 3 weeks (extremely loud, as all my spikes) and it returned back to baseline.

      So far I've had two major spikes.

      My longest was near the end of last year and it lasted 6 weeks. It was awful but thankfully returned to baseline.

      I also had a spike around 2 weeks ago and it started to reduce on Friday, it's now 50% gone.

      Hello!

      Help me please, I'm almost in despair.

      I have a tinnitus for a year, but this year the tinnitus calmed down somewhat and I almost adapted to it. Could enjoy life sometimes. I drink antidepressant all this time.
      I've had spikes from stress / high-profile events. But usually it lasted 5 days, a maximum of 1.5 weeks.

      3 weeks ago I quarreled and experienced a big event - the smartphone fell in silence to the iron lid.

      Since then, I started a spike, I believed that it would pass as usual, drank NAC, vitamins. After 6 days, I started taking prednisolone at a dose of 25 mg. This did not work and I stopped.

      In general, the spike has been going on for almost three weeks. I hear it even on the street in windy weather. I started taking magnesium and once again prednisolone.
      I can not listen to music, I'm uncomfortable.

      Tell me, do I have any hope of returning to the previous level? I almost despaired, I do not understand why so ...
