Acetaminophen is fine. Don’t give it two thoughts

@RunningMan I used to not have any issue with NSAIDs either, but as of recently they now spike my T. It's only temporary, and acetaminophen doesn't work at all for me, so I just take the NSAIDs anyway and deal with the spike.

@kingsfan Yeah, things can change. For a while, I thought I might be done with NSAIDs because they can cause internal bleeding combined with AD's. My Dr never even mentioned it. But now I'm off of an AD's, so at least I can take NSAID if needed. Sometimes Acetaminophen hasn't been enough for me in the past and needed NSAID.

Sorry you are feeling like this. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to hear & honestly.. i've thought about this myself many times too... never had any actual plans. Also never under influence or impulsive. But sometimes i do say "life... plz take me away, or please heal me"... pfft... the only thing i'd say is.. try to go easy on yourself & give yourself as much time as you need to find some healing

Please hang on. ❤️

It's definitely possible after your body heals from the sickness. Don't panic and give it some time after you're feeling better.

If it's a harley they're probably struggling to keep it from stalling. Those things are junk.

It is hard to tell. It spikes on its own it seems.

@HearingHell Yea I think it takes a bit of time for the glutamate storm to begin damaging enough nerve cells after an acoustic trauma, so you won't feel its effects right away.

100 percent the case for me.

you should be out getting blacked out at the club with your ear on the speaker tonight like the rest of the 19 year olds and never getting T.

I am so sorry. Please try and have a happy birthday dispite stupid T!

Happy Birthday! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with T and a spike on your birthday. You’re so young :( That might mean greater possibility to heal and habituate tho. Hang in there.

I'm not in a position to know about your situation of course, but have you thought that the hearing protection may have caused the spike? I mean some people spike to external noise (seems I don't), but several times I have spiked from hearing protection maybe from not letting enough auditory input (or maybe randomly) and it went away after exposing for a few minutes. Just saying.

Each person is different though, and no two people will have the same tinnitus. Wish you are better soon.

@DimLeb I’ve had that happen before with me aswell, but it’s usually the same tones just becoming louder rather than new tones

@PennyCat so true. Others become ingulfed in themselves and don't see that there are equally bad conditions and even worse.

PSSD (post SSRI syndrome) is one that’s on the level of tinnitus, absolutely horrifying

Yes.

having this issue myself. I was feeling good and T was on the back burner. I am to blame for going to work Christmas lunch.

I can't really tell but it does hurt my ear when talking in enclosed spaces, especially in cars. I get this weird awful pain.

Yeah, too loud and too long would be an issue. In car is bad. Outside is best.

@cyberspace I find that difficult to answer. Having a one-on-one conversation is fine with a person speaking "normally" / quietly. A one-on-one with a loud person talking a lot is very stressful and will spike me instantly.

Nobody knows. Your case is truly bad, I am sorry.

People should shove their leafblowers somewhere where the sun doesn't shine. Same with hairdryers and ALL electrical tools

I wouldn't worry about it. It's a very short exposure.. like what, 1-2 seconds? and in another room so most of the impact would be dampened.

Yes, ones of the most annoying things. Not just the dog barking itself but the people that let their dogs bark all the time. It's hard to avoid because so many people have dogs.

@BB23 that can be a possibility. I'm trying to get off of it and sleep naturally but I end up tossing and turning all night long. I feel like a rock in a hard place. =(

@BB23 i haven't taken any drugs the whole 13 months. I've had this, and I'm not getting better. H and Nox got worse in fact.

@BB23 what other option is there when you’re so severely depressed and ADHD that you cannot function enough to even brush your teeth or eat let alone hold a job (CBT is utter cope)

Yes it has its high pitch even though it’s low decibels. I’m beginning to think decibels are important but if it’s high pitch it can do damage if if low decibels.

That would be awful. I wouldn’t last.

This condition sucks butt.

Mine does the same

Those tiny phone speakers can be rough

honestly.. don't know.. personally i just try to sleep and rest as much as possible.. for me it seems that sleep, healthy lifestyle, and time is the best way for the possibility of healing

I feel the same. Today, we stand up and fight! ❤️

This condition completely ruined my life, I can’t do it anymore. Doctors and their microsuction procedure ruined my life.

@cyberspace is that how you got T?

Sorry to hear.. i also feel duped by society/life. I went to extremely loud raves when i was young and insecure, and unaware. There weren't any warnings or advice of caution for it... and now having to live with this. Life feels unfair.. why does life is/seem so unfair... But well.. maybe it can heal with time, trying to move on best we can.. and going day by day..

Call the office and ask them to email you your chart

@kingsfan Yeah, the guy nodded his head when I asked if it was the left ear, but the paper says right ear. Nothing matches up and he was in a rush and didn’t care at all

No. even if a fire truck goes by with the siren on it is still under 60db inside the house. I put muffs on to use the blender or something like that.

Good question. Not letting your ears breathe and keeping them confined behind muffs could create a moisture issue that could increase the possibility. I imagine you would have to be a bit obsessive with cleaning.
