Hi all, I'm new to the rumble club after having normal tinnitus since 2015. It's come on in 3 bouts of a few days before going again. This weekend it hit constantly and loud. Then completely vanished Sunday, but is now back yesterday and today and I just know it's here to stay. Sucks, sucks...

Update on update... It's back. From waking up. Buzzzzzz. After doing nothing of note yesterday when it wasn't there all day!

I had a few beers last night. In an odd way my mindset was "it might have still been there when in Scotland, but I never heard it because I chose not to, and I can do that again)." But then I could hear it often last night. Yesterday was the worst it's been... And today... It's gone. Like I'm...

I got pulsatile tinnitus in February 2015 and "normal" tinnitus (both ears) in August 2015. I've also had the machine gun ear drum fluttering, but it lasts seconds. My life has only been very minimally affected by tinnitus. Now I have this new noise, it's confusing and, obviously, annoying...

But you've said that your spike is reducing??

On a similar point... Do you think this could be related to hyperacusis (or "reactive tinnitus")? For example, as I'm typing, i can hear a higher pitch (very slight) in my left ear. If I stop typing........ it seems to decrease/become less noticeable. Today, I could hear my "new" tinnitus in...

I have another question... Sorry if it's been asked. The two testimonials on the website don't really talk about tinnitus becoming quieter, but instead they don't focus on it as much and "the intensity of the tone" has changed... Does this mean pitch? But it does reduce the tinnitus loudness...

Never really had a spike I don't think. Maybe once for a couple of hours a couple of years ago.

The fear.

ah yes, then we might be in a similar place at the mo. I am hoping that this is a "slight" spike, caused by me getting a bit slack, and that my "rehab" will sort it in the next couple of weeks. Never going to allow myself to get that careless again! I spend a couple of hours fearful, followed...

At the end of the day, they have RCT, which is good. However, they say that the spike you might get during treatment is temporary, and has gone away with all participants.... So if temporary highs (spikes) reduce after treatment, I wonder why temporary lows (tinnitus level) do not then regress...

Hi mate. I think you've misunderstood (or I've not explained it correctly). I don't think my spike is high-pitched, just your normal eeeeeeeeeeeeeee (eeeee) sound, but only seems to come on when moving etc. In terms of high-pitched/ultra sonic type sound. Then, around Jan last year I became...

So, having a spike/increase in tinnitus after 4 years (4 years tomorrow I believe...yay :rockingbanana::rockingbanana::rockingbanana:). I got to the point yesterday when I realized I couldn't hear it in the office (only when I moved/walked around). If walking around outside I could only hear it...

It's the positive vs negatives that's getting me. Negatives; I've never had a spike before, somewhere deep down thinks it is permanent I keep reacting to other noise, not like loud noise, bit quiet noise like the general hum of an office I don't know how to stop "checking" it or thinking about...

So, ironically, this week is my 4th Tinniversary. I would class my tinnitus as mild. When I first got it I had a couple of bad months like everyone. I think I also had a bit of hyperacusis due to the tinny sound over the TV etc. However, apart from a month or two last spring, I’ve not really...
