Gotcha sorry to hear, mines been mostly noise related/random. I’ve never personally used benzos or any meds that spiked before, but I’ve seen plenty of stories where people get a lot better over time after getting off. It’s super tough to be in the acute stages :/

Hey vilebubbles, sorry to hear that, I sympathize with you. The initial months after a worsening can be extremely challenging. Was there a specific incident that started this one? When I had my sharpest worsening a couple years ago I was a wreck for a long time, and the condition went up and...

I partially held in a sneeze on accident and it affected my right ear. Other loud incidents haven’t caused lasting worsenings, but everything has gone to a new level these past days somehow from this

Yes definitely. It can be pretty severe for a few days to week after sound incidents. If I'm able to have a good week without any harsh noises, my ears seem to settle down quite a bit, and I'll be pretty much pain free. Of course the usual T and H never goes away completely

@MindOverMatter thanks for your response! That's helpful to hear your experience. I will try to apply some of this into my routine. I'm currently in a bad spike - feels like I'm always either just starting to get out of a spike or starting up a whole new cycle. Was the counseling tinnitus...

Love you bro! I'm definitely fighting. How have you been?

@Juliane for those of us with severe, housebound levels of T & H, I would say it brings more suffering than people on the outside could possibly imagine. Even with nearly a 5+ years of mild tinnitus, I suffered, but could not have dreamt it could become like this and assumed people like me...

@MindOverMatter I recently hit a year mark since a sudden worsening. Since then my T and H have been insanely easy to worsen further and I am actually feeling about as bad as ever now. How long did it take you to start feeling better? What helped the most? thank you

I've been able to enjoy summer a bit by getting outside to the backyard and woods. However, the T still quickly goes nuclear if I have any sound slip ups, and it continues slowly worsens over weeks/months. Unfortunately, it seems I was dealt a difficult case, but I hold onto hope. How are you doing?
