I've had my tinnitus for just short of 2 years now and, while it fluctuates up and down, there is a constant high pitched sound which I've learnt to get used to. It still bothers me occasionally but I don't notice it all the time and I now have to sleep with nature sounds that I play at low...

I would say just over a week, definitely less than two.

My tinnitus did eventually return back to its baseline. Hope others have the same experience as I have.

Hi all, just in way of an update; After a few days of mild fever I'm now feeling a lot better and my tinnitus has quietened down a lot, not 100% back to baseline though I'm pleased for some reduction. I suspect the fever aggravated it and I've had a few sleepless nights. I also think that my...

I'm hoping it does although it's not been too bad today and I'm feeling ok. Fingers crossed it gets back to normal soon. I'll keep you posted.

I think so too. It's highly likely we'll all catch COVID-19 sometime or another and eventually it'll become like the seasonal flu. Not great.

I will do and thanks for your kind messages and post likes.

That's a fair point, it took around 2 weeks to settle back down. Maybe I can expect the same from this experience.

Hi all, I noticed that my tinnitus spiked from a steady 4/10 to maybe 7-8/10 last weekend. It's been like it all week. I'm double jabbed and have just tested positive for COVID-19 with mild cold like symptoms. I can taste but not smell. I've searched for forums and can find a lot of...

It has, though I put this largely down to habituation, it's been nearly 18 months now since I took the antibiotics which did actually clear up my acne Rosacea at the time! There is a silver lining somewhere. I'm used to the new baseline which is mostly high pitched with a very gentle and...

If the tinnitus is bothering you during the day and even at night, I've found bone conducting headphones help. They are really comfortable to wear and you can play all sorts of music or masking sounds while still listening to the ambient environment. It works for my tinnitus very well - I listen...

Sorry to re-awken this discussion after so long, but... I'm suffering from a major spike in my tinnitus which has lasted for just over a week now and follows a weekend of stupidity, clubbing 2 days in a row with friends while away for the weekend. My usual varying high pitch in my right ear is...

Update: It's now been just under 2 weeks since i had my 2nd AstraZeneca vaccine and my tinnitus spike is still present though it's calmed down a little to a gentle hiss in my right ear that I can only hear in a quiet room. My previous high pitched tinnitus is still buzzing away in the...

I'm listening to crickets on mine on a low volume right now, it works really well to mask my tinnitus.

Thanks Jon and sorry to hear about your experience, I do hope yours does improve and I tend to look at it as, even if the new tinnitus/spike stays with you there’s hope that you’ll eventually habituate and find peace with it. I feel like I have taken a step backwards with mine although this...
