      Happy that my COVID spike has quieted down -- I'm now back to where I was in May-- a "loud" day every 3-5 days, but "loud" is now 5-6, not 8

      T was improving --hadn't had a really bad day in over a month. Then I got COVID. Now: 8/10 every third day, waking me up at night. Whaaaaa.

      Hi Spencer, I can really relate to a lot of your story. I too got my tinnitus actually the day after my second Covid vax and it is intermittent as well. However, mine is like 3 days on and 3 days off. I have found some relief from Gabapantin. Anyways, wanted to say hi and that our stories are somewhat similar and not to many are in this world from what I have seen.

        sorry -- I just saw this. Yes, this fluctuating thing is weird. After nine months, mine is still approximately two quiet days and one loud day, but it's not as set in stone as it was in the beginning. Sometimes I get an extra quiet day.... hope yours heals up quickly.

    Tinnitus Since:
    10/2023
    Cause of Tinnitus:
    COVID-19 vac? who knows?
    T came on like an attack a few days after my latest C19 booster, but I don't know if that was the cause. There were no loud sounds, medications, or other known triggers, so maybe just bad luck? It's in both ears, but left is much worse than right. I don't have any obvious hearing loss, though I think I might have lost a little at frequencies higher than those measured by my audiologist. T has been intermittent since the beginning: for the first six months it was one very loud day followed by two quiet ones; now (11 months later), I usually get three or four quiet days, and the bad days are only about half as loud as they used to be. I hope when I update this a year from now, it has continued to improve... Best wishes to anyone reading this -- may we all be writing success stories soon.
