Nope, not fleeting tinnitus. My spikes are 100% caused by exposure to "loud" environments. I get fleeting tinnitus too, sometimes.

My onset was in June 2020. It took nearly a year for me to have some kind of progress. Anyway it depends on your specific problem: I had a sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies, up to 60 dB. I don't know what your problem is but I hope you have the best possible outcome...

I'm here just to update anyone interested that my tinnitus got better. It's still loud, but now it is somewhat "manageable" most of the time. I keep getting bad spikes, usually after I expose myself to "loud" environments, even if "loud" for me is a totally new level of loudness since my...

Yes, if I play the tones at home I can hear distortions up to 2000 Hz.

@cruise, thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I'm trying to ignore the sound and live my life but it's so hard. I also have a mild hyperacusis and ear fullness, so for me it's not that easy to distract myself form the condition. I'm doing my best and I hope that time will be my...

@Ava Lugo mine doesn't react to every sound. Mostly it reacts to people's voices or with high pitched sounds. Yes, I can sorta have a break from reactivity when I'm with my fan on. But everyday sounds are a shit with my tinnitus and I can't leave my house without hating myself for the rest of...

@Bill Bauer my tinnitus is due to SSHL (maybe antibiotics), so I can't say if sounds are making it "spike". Maybe I have a different definition of spike, which has led me to misunderstand most of the content on this forum. My "spikes" are temporarily (hours, days) increments in tinnitus...

I'm losing hope: 7 months in and not getting better with my fluctuating, reactive tinnitus. Today I had my hearing loss checked and it has remained constant, even if I feel my tinnitus is getting worse (bad spikes with new horrible sounds). Are there any success stories about people having...

@weab00 do you think Ebselen will be good for hyperacusis? If yes, why?

@Daniel Parker talk to an ENT and see if there's hearing loss. You should not wait for it to calm down (that was my big mistake).

@Rio80 I have moderate to severe hearing loss in my 250/500 Hz frequencies, then it goes up at 1000 Hz, and from there I have "normal hearing". Do you think they could help me? What is driving me mad are the several brutal spikes I have during the week. I can reach suicidal level of tinnitus...

Just discovered this thread. My tinnitus is just 6 months old. Do you think Trobalt would work for me? Is there anyone here who can still buy it from their country?

@Tinniger I'm actually on a 6/10 and 15 minutes ago it was 8/10. Yesterday night it was 2/10. I'm 28 so I can't retire but I'm quite sure I'm going to lose my job and my life too in the near future.

@billie48 too late for me for steroids, but I tried some drugs one month after the onset and they did anything. My ETD is related to the SNHL or at least that's what my ENT tried to tell me, so I have no escape from this too. I have to deal with 24/7 loud tinnitus and unbelievably loud spikes...
