    how is your T now? does it bother you? I never had eye floaters until my T got worse. My Eye floaters are black, most are wormy, once again I never had anything like that in my llife until I got the second acoustic trauma.

    do you think computer use can make eye floaters?

    It doesn't bother me as long as I ignore it , mine are wormy and black too. I think there is a link for sure.

    Whilst working on my car, had a swarm of bees fly low over the car, the other people ran and left me, I did not hear them at all, as you know we have our own swarm inside our skull. Chin up, you are not alone.:)

    I have not had a tea kettle screaming as yet, but I am sure there is still time...erm, am I missing out on something here?

    If I had the courage I'd end it CC. I don't see this spike settling. One noise is almost like a new noise on top of my old noise
    Allan1967
    Thanks CC...I'm trying to do my best and keep away from loud noise but as the main breadwinner it's difficult . Thanks for the advice, I can only hope and pray.

    You're a trooper! I hope your family appreciates the sacrifices that you make every day. It's not easy to work everyday and risking a worsening spike.

    Hi CC.... 5 weeks ago today I played an acoustic piano (complete amatuer) Morning I woke up and knew instantly something wasn't right.

    My high pitched sound was more intense and there's a sound like a cross between someone circling the rim of a wine glass and distant wind chimes. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not and seems to get worse when the high pitched noise is more intense.

    I'm really worried
    coffee_girl
    Signs of fluctuation are always good... My spikes are similar to what you describe. It tends to take a while to go away. I discovered a long time ago that if I keep exposing myself to even moderate sounds during a spike, it will halt the healing process. I would quarantine myself for a while until the spike heals over before I get outside. Just my experience

    Hi Coffee Girl....can I ask . Have you ever had a noise induced spike that's eventually went away?
    coffee_girl
    Yes I had 2 spikes in the past that went away, the first was a tire exploding about a block from me..it was VERY loud. I was outside walking without ear plugs.

    The 2nd was noise exposure at a restaurant, a band started playing behind me.

    how long did it take CG? Im 3.5 weeks in and its really bothersome.


    You seem like such a nice person online by the way.
    coffee_girl
    It took me about 1.5 months... I didn't think it was going to go away but it did. How did your spike start?

    I hope everyone finds their inner peace with this T thing. Lord knows everyone deserves a little respite.

    OMG dog barks are so loud....can you imagine having a dog who barked loudly in your ear in the morning when it tried to wake u?
    Red
    Depends on the dog. Smaller dogs can be a bit more tolerable.

    I hear clicking, popping, and whooshing sounds on that ear.
    coffee_girl
    Hope you feel better soon hon...does it ever lessen?
    dpdx
    it lessens 2 days per week from 8 to a 6. Hyperacusis is always bad.
