    Still experiencing a gradual reduction of tinnitus spikes after using oral minoxidil for almost 5 months. They now happen less often than before and they are never severe like they used to be. The spikes usually go away by the end of the day as well which used to rarely to happen. I think this is actually working.

    I'm about to start finasteride. Been too nervous about side effects, both tinnitus and other, so have been staring at the bottle for about 3 months.

    How did you get your reactivity tinnitus to go away??
    Flyingsheep
    it gradually resolved itself. but on really bad days it's sometimes still a thing.
    Flyingsheep
    Why is it that sitting outside and listening to crickets will cause severe irritation in my right ear and spike T for a few days? Is that H?
    Flyingsheep
    My baseline has basically become severe. Never has this happened. The second I wake up in the morning it's severe. Every single day.

    Sleep reset seems common. I hope you can find some relief.

    You could try a sleep study? Possible sleep apnea.
    Flyingsheep
    @just1morething it used to be something I could always count on. It is no longer the case

    Hang on in there mate. Have you tried different supplements?
    Flyingsheep
    How can it suddenly increase to a whole new level without any reason? This type of T is like cancer in your brain. It grows and destroys you
    dan
    Yup, its like cancer. It will destroy you eventually. Mine has gotten so loud permanently with many added sounds, its 60-70db of sirens and piercing tinnitus 24/7 no let up. Hey at least you have silent/maskable days...that's something to be thankful for at least.
    Flyingsheep
    Having a really hard time. Been having severe T for SO long now without a break. The future is not promising for me with this condition.

    I feel you there, sometimes it feels like if you could only get a break for one day you'd recover enough to handle it again. I hope you get a break soon
    Flyingsheep
    Well it's been long enough since my MRI that any worsening from it would be noticeable by now. Still got the same cycles of mild and spikes
    Flyingsheep
    Why does T always come back with a vengeance if you have too many good days? Out of nowhere right ear BLASTS with 18khz tone and it HURTS.
    Flyingsheep
    I did a frequency range test on proper speakers up to 20khz, turns out I can hear them all evenly without cranking the volume. 20khz is LOUD

    I haven't, I've just used very high quality headphones that can go up to 20k. I do know that around the onset of my tinnitus I had a major panic attack lasting over 2 days and after that it became the way it is now.
    ASilverLight
    I also get one tone loudly when I'm either super hot or emotional so I wonder if blood pressure has a say in that. I know mine isn't noise induced, at least that's not the main culprit at all. No acoustic trauma before onset and not all that much loud noise exposure.
    ASilverLight
    So stress/anxiety, along with a sinus infection and some other likely issue AND neck trauma... I'm just hoping that once some get treated, the tinnitus goes down too.

    soz for the 3 messages lol, feel free to PM if you wanna discuss more!
    Flyingsheep
    5 days in with the nasal spray and my T has been soo consistently low, with only one incident of it spiking moderately. Hope this continues
    Flyingsheep
    Saw the ENT today and they did an even more extensive hearing test than before, and there is no hearing loss. She thinks I could have ETD
    Flyingsheep
    I'm back into severe T for the longest period ever, starting to experience pain... saw a doctor and they want to do an MRI. What happened?
    Flyingsheep
    And just like that I wake up to a whole day of near silence. Maybe it has something to do with staying at home and my mental health.
    Flyingsheep
    Now been dealing with the worst spike of my life, in my right ear. It's just a non-stop super loud high-pitch tone. It's so hard to cope.

    Feel your pain brother, stay safe
    Bill Bauer
    Tell yourself that it will likely be temporary. Do you know what might have caused it?
    Flyingsheep
    @Bill Bauer I suddenly woke up to silence this morning, despite the previous days being horrendous. Thank you, you are right. I'm thinking it's the staying at home and increased anxiety that maybe played into it?
    Ben S
    Hey man, did you say that you believe your tinnitus may have been caused by alcohol ototoxicity? If so, it looks like it might be time for me to stop drinking!
    Flyingsheep
    Yes I think it was the trigger. I was at high altitude and wasn't used to it, and drank on my second night. It caused so much pressure in my blood vessels that I'm sure it damaged something, as the moment I woke up the next morning I've had tinnitus ever since.
    Flyingsheep
    Worst spike ever resolved. Today all I could hear was the tone of the room. That felt amazing. Staying positive.
    Flyingsheep
    Anybody know why one case of taking Tylenol (the least ototoxic painkiller) would cause such a horrendous spike that just won't let up?
    Bill Bauer
    Could it be that whatever had caused your headache is what ultimately caused the spike in T?
    R
    There's no telling. If I take an antihistamine it sets mine off terribly. Took around 3 days or so to subside to base level.
    Flyingsheep
    @Bill Bauer I think you're right. It's gone now, doing much better.
    Flyingsheep
    I just spiked to a severe level and I have no idea why. The only thing that I can think of is I took Tylenol recently for a nasty headache?
    Flyingsheep
    Typewriter tinnitus is back, after not experiencing it for almost a year. Same ear, same exact sound.
    Flyingsheep
    Last night was horrific. I don't get the reasoning behind this sudden increase of insanity.
    A
    I feel your pain! Mine has been insane for the last few days. Thought I was a gonna three days ago. Hope it gets better for you damn soon.
    Flyingsheep
    Thank you so much. I'm finally getting relief and it's back to how it used to be this whole day. Starting to feel like myself again
    Flyingsheep
    Not a good day. T spontaneously jumped from low static to a loud extremely high-pitched drill like a needle in my brain. This is hell.
    Flyingsheep
    Nothing but hiss/static the past few days. Ever since I saw my hearing results my hyperacusis has faded to being almost nonexistent.
    Flyingsheep
    I got a hearing test, doctor said it's better than perfect and they're perplexed as to why I have tinnitus. Well, at least I know now.
    just1morething
    I think you have a lot of hope with perfect hearing.
    Flyingsheep
    I hope so. Still stuck with tinnitus and it still fluctuates. This audiologist actually cared and tested voice recognition in noisy environments as well, and I passed with flying colors. So no hidden hearing loss either I suppose.
    Flyingsheep
    The past 2 days I have pretty much NOT heard much T, and when that happens my ears feel weird like I can feel the blood running.
    Flyingsheep
    it's like my brain wants to hear something.
    just1morething
    Is that pulsating tinnitus?
    Flyingsheep
    I might have a little bit. It comes and goes, but it's barely audible.
    Flyingsheep
    Crazy un-maskable buzzing is finally gone again. It seemed to help to stop caring about it so much. Hearing test is in 4 days.
    Flyingsheep
    The crazy buzzing went away for two days and things were normal, and now it's back. It changes depending how I rest my head.
    Flyingsheep
    Also it's un-maskable by any tinnitus masking track.
    Flyingsheep
    Suddenly T sounds like a lot of static in both ears, which is kind of driving me nuts. But it's not reactive to anything anymore.
    Flyingsheep
    I turned down an appointment with Neuromod in May. Feels like I turned down a girl or something. Hopefully I don't regret it
    acute
    Why you turned down?
    Flyingsheep
    Because I still want to give my T some time since it's had moments of getting better, and wait to see how Lenire develops and if it improves. Right now it seems to only help for 50% of everyone.
