Tinnitus Tantalizingly Shuts Off for 1 Second and Then...

ive been experiencing a very weird variation on tinnitus

i got three noises usually going on in my head at the same time...ringing, hiss and a very high frequency EEEEEEEEEEE that seems to match up with sample sounds on youtube of about 8k hz

but in the past few weeks i get this sound thats like pronouncing the word SIP very slowly,,, an at the end of the sound all the usual tinnitus is gone for one second and then replaced by a pure tone around an octave or two above middle C and that lasts for less than 30 seconds an then its back to the same old tinnitus with the three sounds mentioned above

very very weird

anybody else out there get strange breaks and momentary changes in the T you experience?

best wishes

Yes I have experienced this, I hear multiple tones on an ongoing basis like yourself, and last monday whilst working away in the very quiet office, I experienced a passing raised eeeee ( for a second) then I became tinnitus free for 5 seconds, I jumped up as It was so silent I thought I gone entirely deaf, I clicked my fingers and heard them so clear, but seconds later the whole orchestra started up again

 

very strange...brief moment of near silence and then, bam, that ugly T is back

almost as if the system is trying desperately to reset itself , succeeds ever so briefly but then, again, is overwhelmed

very sad

 

i'd kill to get 4 secs of silence, i'm so sick of this,
what did cause your tinnitus markku?, if i may ask

 

Just goes to show Markku, T can go as quick as It comes. That silence is golden though eh..

 

You don't need to convince ur brain, it's the glutamine granules that are sitting on your receptors you need to convince to go away !!

 

"Although I have experienced "fleeting tinnitus" every once in a while where my tinnitus goes crazy, a really high pitched-ringing (louder in volume too) appears out of nowhere, stays there for 30-60 seconds and then disappears and the noise returns to normal."

I have those types of episodes as well. Generally when that happens I have the joy of a DEATH GRIP panic attack.

 

I wanted to put a thread out on this topic, then I found this one.
Just had a 2 second silence, then a 10 second big spike and now T is low again and switched from 1 ear to the other. My first tought: wow that must be some huge noise I heard because.. I didn't hear anything for a bit. Second tought: Perhaps its healing. Anyway, guess I am not the only one with such an experience.

I hope you habituated and are doing well Mock Turtle.

I get a half-second pause of silence fairly often. I'm pretty sure it's fleeting T related because sometimes when it happens it's followed by temporary loud T that lasts 1-15 minutes.

 

My T went down after the event. Its probably the after-effect of prednison and HBOT. Last couple days (after the event) have seen a decrease in T for me. I think the heightend T post-prednison usage is wearing off, which is great.
Anyway, this is all very mysterious to me.
