Update: I think I have a slight idea of what my baseline is, but the issue is that I cannot figure out how to stay at baseline. As I have mentioned, my tinnitus is extremely reactive and somatosensory. The problem is that I am a very tense person. Even the slightest stress causes all my...

A car alarm also went off during my sleep, and my tinnitus has mimicked that for a few days now.

I cannot WAIT to move out. Got woken up by someone vacuuming for the second time in the week. When it's not vacuums, it's alarms. I rarely have a full night of sleep; it's insane.

I get a tingling sensation from my cheekbone to above my lips when i'm exposed to too much sound. It's not painful but it's annoying. I used to get that when i was very stressed or when my tmj is very bad. Does anyone else have that?

Well, i don't think i'll be able to get out of my protections in my house. Constant vacuum and power tool noises today. Yesterday got blasted with a high pitch pure tone coming out of nowhere. Looking to move out

Trying to stop wearing earmuffs in my home. The psychological aspect is hard to overcome ! On a good note, my reactive tinnitus is a bit less reactive.

Have you been able to completely stop using protection at home? I am dealing with the exact same issue. My tinnitus has also improved a lot thanks to protection, but I would like to be free from it in my own house.

Does tinnitus itself affect REM sleep, or is it tinnitus-related anxiety that prevents a good night’s sleep? To add my two cents, ever since developing tinnitus, I’ve started waking up multiple times per night. I used to be a heavy sleeper despite having anxiety before acquiring tinnitus. Even...

I relate to this a lot. I go through cycles lasting anywhere from two weeks to a month and a half. Last November, I had just a hiss for a full month—I felt like my struggle was over. Then one day, it started ramping up again. Over the past few days, it has doubled in intensity, and I have no...

Hello everyone, It’s been one year since my tinnitus began, and unfortunately, I haven’t habituated yet because it changes every two months. I don’t react strongly to it anymore (except when I get brand-new sounds), but I can’t ignore it. It started as a very high-pitched ringing in February...

I also have lower-frequency tinnitus. In fact, all my tinnitus sounds are below 2000 Hz. In my case, the sound is localized to one ear only. In my right ear, I have a 500–600 Hz pipe-like sound, which I believe is due to TMJ. In my left ear, I sometimes get a hum when I overprotect.

Hello, Have you noticed any pressure in your jaw when you wear or remove your Invisalign? Do you find yourself clenching more while wearing it? I’m not a doctor, but tinnitus can sometimes be caused or worsened by jaw-related issues. I’m in a similar situation—though I have a retainer instead...

As others have mentioned, it is most likely fleeting tinnitus. I’ve experienced quite a lot of those episodes over the past few months as well. It could also be related to your stress levels since tension in the neck can cause it.
