@ErikaS Just want to add that it is, to my experience, very common to experience a temporary setback after longer travels. Make sure you tell yourself that it is "only" what it is, a temporary setback. A "bump" in the road. It will settle again, but monitoring it will reinforce your perception of it.

@ErikaS since onset, my T has morphed from a ring to this electric hiss. I only hear flashbang tone in my head only if I try really hard to listen or go to a quiet room.
Thank you @MindOverMatter .. Did you find it was still okay to go around low level ambient sounds outside while in a temporary setback? I feel like it would be best to go about my life in the small ways I can rather than shelter at home in the quiet and fixate on the setback and let it control me. But I want it to improve, not keep worsening.
@SarahMLFlemmer I would much rather have a mid frequency level ring/sound than this ultra high frequency hiss/electric tones. I also just have this sensation when I am in a quiet room like my ears always turned on and turned up. Like they have a resonance to them underneath the sounds. I don't know if that is from nerve inflammation, part of the electric tone, hyperaware auditory system, or what.
@ErikaS and now my ears are screaming. =/ they do what they want.
@ErikaS unfortunately mine never went away I still have the electric Hissing (ssss-st) every 0.2 seconds and repeats itself. I will say that it did eventually fade to a much more tolerable pitch and no longer tortures Me like it once did. But yes as I'm writing you I can hear it. It's just another tone I eventually habituated to
Yes @ErikaS, for me, low ambient sounds outside (over time) always did me good. Walks in nature in particular. Setback or not. It forces the mind to at least try to focus on other sounds, and it brings clarity to your mind and some auditory input. It might not feel like that now, but in the end I personally believe it will make the setback ease up faster.
