    I May Be Counting My Chickens — Hopeful Progress in My Tinnitus Journey

    Yeah, neighbors can be quite a pain if the walls are thin. The worst is when the flat is near a construction site.

    Severe Two-Week Tinnitus Spike After Vacuuming Despite Wearing Earmuffs

    Yes, exactly. I do not get too annoyed by the AC fan if it is not too loud. But I cannot really sleep with a regular cooling fan running, since it is just too distracting.

    @Sodlin Thanks, I hope so as well. Night sleeps have been pretty restless :/

    Severe Two-Week Tinnitus Spike After Vacuuming Despite Wearing Earmuffs

    Yeah, I don’t know. I have the same issue. Ever since the spike, it’s loud at night when I’m relaxed. Previously, it was mild for me and I could sleep quite easily. Now, with a longer spike, it’s complete hell. :( I don’t think sound therapy works for me either, mainly because I have reactive...

    Severe Two-Week Tinnitus Spike After Vacuuming Despite Wearing Earmuffs

    Hey, I know exactly how you feel. The spike is terrifying, especially when it stays loud and unmaskable for days. I can only hope it will subside. Tinnitus is such an asshole. But I know that thinking about it makes it worse, so I guess our only option is to wait it out and hope for the best.

    Hey, at least you had a good day I guess. :/ This condition is so damn relentless, I'm going through a spike currently that doesnt want to fade away no matter how hard I seem to try, sleeping quality is decreased too. All we can do is keep our hopes up I guess.

    Tinnitus Worse After Tooth Drilling

    Man, that sucks. I’m also going through a severe spike right now. I wonder if it’s the cumulative effect of those dental drilling sessions. I didn’t use earplugs during them because of what I’d heard about bone conduction. I don’t think I had a spike at the time, but several months later it...

    Yeah exactly, I think I've realized this too. The more I'm scared of the sound the more likely I will spike. There seems to be some correlation there.

    @Sodlin Yes you are so right, thank you for reminding me. It's also anxiety that starts the downwards spiral, thinking of the cumulative damage and all, times I should've used ear pro but didn't, talking hours of exposure to 80db noise. But all that matters is what I do now and still doing my...

    Spike Triggered by Loud Noises in Underground Garage

    I’m sorry this happened to you, man. Spikes suck, but they usually get better within a few weeks. Personally, I’m going through a spike right now because I was doing a brief, uncomfortably loud task without hearing protection. I even had hearing protection in my pocket. I do not want to...

    Reading this, I think we might have a very similar spike in terms of characteristics, this gives me some more hope that this will in fact subside, thank you :)
