I don't know, it probably is fleeting but it's still louder then usual so it is a spike but the reactivity is going down (thank god) it stayed like this for a full 10-15 minutes I honestly thought it was permanent, one of the scariest experiences of my life (trying not to jinx it). I've been...

It's going down.

I'm panicking right now, I was just listening to music through my speakers (low volume) then all of a sudden my ear rings for 30 seconds, 40 seconds later tinnitus in my right ear becomes louder with a feeling of numbness and full ear then it's rings louder than usual and it is still like this...

@Rubenslash yes eventually

This happaned again and im terrified. A LOUD juice box just popped next to me like 1-2 meteres with only 1 ear protected. Any ideas how loud these are when popped. It sounded like a fire cracker. It was really loud, im starting to become depressed. Support needed.

Hi yall, just wanted to make you feel better so I have been watching alot of UFC lately and came across on reading that the UFC president hinself (Dana White) who has a net worth of over £4oo million actually has Meniers Disease and Tinnitus:

@Michael Leigh yes don't get me wrong, I have learned. That is why I have not used them for around 3 months or more due to the helpful information of people including you. Also my tinnitus is not servere, it is mild, im very cautious with sounds now.

Hi, I used to take tetrycyclin for 2 years due to acne (a form of antibiotic) and after I got tinnitus, I found out that they were ototoxic. But they did not start my tinnitus. However, since you already have tinnitus, its best not to cause they might make it worse. Also when did you notice...

@Michael Leigh alright thanks

I'm really worried right now and I know I shouldn't but I just had my filling sanded down and basically the dentist sanded down my real tooth a tiny bit. Can this mess up my bite? Is it safe to sand real teeth down????

Hi people how are you doing? Okay after months of tinnitus not bothering me and getting on with my life, I now have a spike in my left ear that has been going on for 3 days. The spike seems like its over my normal medium-highpitch tinnitus. It sounds like a static frequency sound that can be...

@Michael Leigh thank you again for your calming words, the best thing to do is to probably take a break from the forum till after the ENT appointment which ill then come back and update.

@MikeP505 I should have known

@Hopeful1 i got it from mainly loud music also maybe long term antibiotics

Hi my name is Karam and I'm 15. I'm 50% habituated to the tinnitus, also finding out what caused it. My goal is to be habituated but could my tinnitus still go after 3 1/2 months? This worries me because I think I damaged my ears too much because I used to use antibiotics that were ototoxic...

@Michael Leigh okay thanks for the advice

@Michael Leigh yes i try my best to but sometimes you cant avoid loud noise

@Michael Leigh im scared to go to sleep lol, i was playing football and one of my friends bought a speaker it was far away from me so I don't think it done damage, it wasn't really loud

@Michael Leigh kinda scared me but life goes on, wait so how loud were the speakers?

@Michael Leigh I see what you mean

@MikeP505 the drill is so loud lol

@MikeP505 is the sanding procedure like the filling procedure or is it easier to do

@Michael Leigh im waiting for an ent reffaral they take a long time in England

@stophiss yeah good idea

@Michael Leigh i did use ear phones a couple of times before but i stopped, my tinnitus is still kinda low but when exposed to sound it gets higher, i also keep on developing new tones that sometimes go away but do you reckon this is because of hyperacusis?

I know my tinnitus started from headphones usage or antibiotics but it had reduced over the weeks. I also know that I have a mild TMJ disorder because my jaw always used to click when I eat but this alone did not cause it. I noticed that since onset I had 1 or tone but recently I've developed...

@Michael Leigh what is your opinion on spikes, do you have a brief theory of why they are caused by loud noise apart from damage?

@Owen thx this gives me hope

@Michael Leigh thanks for the info

@Michael Leigh so your saying spikes from loud noise is permanent? Im going through one right now

@Starthrower yes seems like a good idea, and going to school is my only option for my age ,although it makes the tinnitus healing process harder due to loud noise

@Michael Leigh will do, thanks

@Michael Leigh thank you very much for the informative reply, I believe i have a mild form of hyperacusis. However in school its not the sensitivity that bothers me its the fact that i dont know when to protect, therefore I end up over protecting, making the problem worse. I will protect in loud...

@Michael Leigh i am aware of this, By using sound enrichment do you mean avoid silence and listen to nature sounds at night? Also michael please could you inform me went to use hearing protection, as i go to school where there is loud corridors, classrooms and alarm bells. Do you avdice...

@Kazue i too had many bouts and relapses of sound sensitivity (which is worse than tinnitus) but eventually it goes away after desensitising your ears but reactive tinnitus is another thing and more annoying when reacting to sounds

I've read a few posts saying that reactivity decreases with time, I would be cured if this happens because my tinnitus is mild but when exposed to normal sounds it gets louder. Is it true that reactivity goes or decreases with time or do I have to live with this?

I have on and off distortion that comes like 3 times a day doesnt bother me that much

Wow ok this happens everytime, a point comes when everything gets better, the tinnitus reduces sound sensitivity decreases and it just becomes better but on the SAME day it has to get worse, basically we had an assembly today and the speakers was in my proximity so they played a very loud video...

Thanks people sorry for not replying, its best to wait for the ent, i will update when I visit them

Listen, im the same age as you and although i keep getting spikes and different ear symptoms and tones it definitely gets better, i was at your stage but now im at the 3-4 month mark and it is much better than before but im still feeling depressed i dont know why

This kinda enforces negativity

So I was at the GP yesterday because I thought I had an ear infection but he looked through my ears and he told me 1 of them has fluid behind the eardrum and the other one is clear also no signs of infection, he told me to wait for the ENT appointment. I'm pretty sure my tinnitus is noise...

@LadyDi yes i know Im scheduled for an appointment tomorrow, maybe an infection

@LadyDi didnt know about that, I constantly pop my ears because i keep thinking that theres fluid inside

Yeah i get that numb feeling at times, you probably have eustatian tube dysfunction

@glynis thanks for the info, just really worried

Ok so I'm sorry for posting so much but I'm very worried. I think I have hearing loss at 15 years of age. This has been going on for like a week. I have sound sensitivity or hyperacusis that has recently gotten better but this is probably from Hearing loss. So basically recently my hearing is...

@slipware @PaulBe thanks for the info

@glynis thanks for the feedback

So I'm due for an echo scan in a week's time for heart (yes I got so much problems) I saw that they give out this very high frequency sound that cannot be heard. So my question is will this potentially have an impact on the tinnitus??

Guys I think I got an ear infection, basically these past weeks I've had a cold/ allergies problems so I was congested most of the time. But recently I'm getting a lot of symptoms: I feel my hearing is half gone, low frequency rumbling tinnitus, ear pain that comes and goes, itching, feeling...

@LadyDi thanks yes ive mostly habituated to the first tinnitus but the new tones are the worst, hoping they fade or maybe completely go away, hopefully your holding up ok

@LadyDi hi the juicebox pop was really loud like an explosion lol but its probably the anxiety towards it thats worse, because i panicked when it happened.

Thanks @PaulBe yeah we cant really avoid these things im afraid

@billie48 thank you for your support interesting i didn't know about the t 'morphing'

Yeah im going through one right now

Whatsup people im at my 3 month mark and this is not a success but there are good news. So im 15 years old and when i first got tinnitus it was highpitched and i could hear it over most stuff like tv and convo but reaching my 6 week mark it reduced a lot and my hyperacusis went away, a week...

@stophiss lol i wish but i cant be screwing around in the finnal year of school

@glynis thanks i hope you feel better

Hi im also 15 and my tinnitus is reactive its like a wind or flute sound that reacts with sounds but the good news is people report less reactivity with time
