99.99% it will settle - been there 100 times over the last 18 years with tinnitus - but I jump on the “what if“ train every time :)

Hi @martinberryhorse. In fact mine lowers too, significantly. I just came off a 10-hour flight (the tinnitus was 11/10 before the flight and 3/10 after). I wore earplugs for all 10 hours. I have tried this before - wearing earplugs for 3-8 hours and then the tinnitus settles. Temporarily...

Hi all. I've had tinnitus for 16 years and been using CPAP for 10 years. My tinnitus goes through the roof if I sleep without the CPAP machine.

Hi David, My name is Troels, I'm a 46-year-old male for Denmark - nice to meet you :) Yesterday I read one of your posts and I think that our condition is very similar - the section I refer to is this: I can see that you have used white noise generators - did it do any good? The reason why I...

Hi Michael, thanks a lot for this great post and many others which I now have read from start to finish. Our story is very similar and I am also trying to habituate again after many years of moderate tinnitus. I go from mild, normal, severe, intrusive to extreme on a daily basis. Best, Troels

Hi Ken, I have read a lot of your good comments through the years. I had one big spike in 2015 due to stress I think. It lasted for 6/9 month or so. Went back to baseline. When you write that you have had 3 setbacks - did you get new tones or “just” louder tinnitus sounds? I am back in a...

Hi Michael, I have hyperacusis. It has also spiked again. I don’t think I have been exposed to more noise than anybody else lately. I live a quiet life, no loud music, use special ear protection etc etc. Really trying to do all the right things. Can it be the hyperacusis that are causing it? I...

Hi Michael, Again - thank you so much for taking your time to answer me and thank you for your condolences. I will try to find a doctor here in Denmark to help me with the WNG. Like I told you I am in the middle of a bad spike (3 weeks so far) and the worst part is that I am experiencing...

Hi Michael, First of all thanks for all your great answers to the members - I really enjoy reading them. I have been dealing with tinnitus for 15 years - and have had several spikes which eventually went back to some sort of baseline (whatever that is after 15 years). At the moment I am in...

Just wondering, why do you write “somatic hissing”? Do you think “hissing sound” comes from somatic tinnitus? All the best, Troels

Do you still have it @valeri?

I have the PRECISE same symptoms @valeri. I have had tinnitus & hyperacusis for 14 years and the burning ear pain comes and goes. Sometimes it disappears for up to 2 years - then returns. Often at the same time as a spike. Right now it is very bad and my normal tinnitus sound has changed to a...

Hi @Sven no problem. I tried to pm you but are not allowed. Maybe you could write to me and I Will reply?

Hi @Sven My name is Troels (from Denmark) and I have had T for 14 years. I have read your posts and it is really interesting how many things We seem to have in common when it comes to the way you describe spikes, the sensations in the head etc. Would you be interessted in Maybe exchanging...
