    Hey! I wonder how you're doing? I found your message on my profile a bit late, because I did not come back to the forum for a long time. Just let me know how things are (:

    Has anyone's 'spike' from covid settled down? Or is this a new baseline I'd just have to get used to.

    My one year anniversary. I celebrate with covid, which made my T get even worse. I found some short periods of 'habituation' though!

    Today, I am officially 2 months into my 'spike/new baseline'. No improvement, just more different sounds. Mentally I'm coping better tho.

    Thinking of that one time I went indoor skydiving back when I had my T under control. Zero fear, no effect on it. What a life that was lol!

    It's just hard to feel like there is something medically wrong (in the end we know our bodies the best) and not being taken seriously. For me, I'm not giving up the search yet. And in the meantime I'm trying to accept the sounds.

    @Matchbox yes thank you! I definitely feel like there's something off there and doctors keep ignoring it. A psychiatrist said it could be trigeminal neuralgia and prescribed tegretol. Looking into that now..

    I'm two months in and it has been very constant/sometimes its worsening. But giving myself a time frame helps to put the suicidal ideation aside for now..

    Photo Album of Tinnitus Talk Members

    Aw I'm glad I've discovered this wonderful thread - look at you guys! Going through pictures is hard, because I miss my life and how it was. It feels like I'm mourning over it. I decided to post this picture with my mom as she is my rock and best friend, especially in situations like this there...

    Audiogram and Other Hearing Test Results

    About the same audiogram as 5 years ago when I was 20. My ENT said the right eardrum was collapsed inward a bit (decreased pressure). Does that explain the air-bone gap? Also, I guess my tinnitus got worse (7 weeks in now) from increased hidden hearing loss? I'm still trying to find an...

    Banged Forehead Against Cupboard — Big Tinnitus Spike

    Hi Rust, I get that you're worried but I don't think this will cause a permanent spike. May I ask how long your drug induced (cocaine) spike lasted? I did not want to post on an old thread, but since you're active again... I'm going through something similar right now and it has been around 7...
