UPDATE: I just wanted to share that it's day 2 of my big spike and I'm getting back to normal. The tinnitus is still a bit reactive, but nothing crazy and seems to be continuing to calm down and the muffled, and the full feeling in my ear seems to be gone for good. The whole ear still feels...

Thanks. I do have TMJ pretty badly and have not been able to go in to get started on treatments for it as my current insurance sucks. I get bad headaches regularly each month related to my popping jaw and muscle issues. The ear that's giving me trouble now is always the one to spike like this...

So in this thread I posted almost a year ago to the day about a similar issue. I'd suffered a middle-of-the-night spike in tinnitus accompanied by a sense of fullness in the affected ear. Long story short, I slept through it, woke up, still there, and spent the entire day crippled with anxiety...

Thanks for the info. Today, I'm more or less back to normal. My T is still slightly elevated, though I can deal with that, as I've gotten pretty good at reacting neutrally to the ringing. It's just background noise to me as long as it remains at a certain frequency. That's sounds scary getting...

I have had tinnitus and what I assume is hyperacusis (ear pain/ear drums seem to convulse at certain sounds) for 5 years now, and while the first year was a rollercoaster of ups and downs, anxiety, fear, depression, ENTs, audiologists, etc., I've gotten to habituate and usually it doesn't bother...

A small bedside fan. May need to get a louder one as it no longer seems to mask the tinnitus since it may have gotten worse the few years I've had it. Otherwise, I personally use marijuana at night. Now, I don't recommend just anyone use it (its not for everyone), but for me, as someone that...

UPDATE: So I'm more or less back to normal as far as I can tell. I would assume hearing-preserving methods (i.e., prednisone) are not effective at this point, as my hearing seems to have corrected itself. Can intense spikes cause a dip in hearing to such an extent? It was as if the entire...

So I'm waking up now, with my T pretty much back to normal as it was yesterday before I completely freaked out late last night. I had a sudden spike in T in the right ear whilst watching TV at a reasonable volume, shortly before bed. I had just come back from a restaurant with a friend, having...

Hi all, Tuesday evening of last week I was having dinner and boom, tinnitus spike in my quiet T ear. No big deal. Happens time to time. Fast forward to Thur. night last week, at my parents house, dogs are barking inside, still no big deal, as it never hurt my T before. But ever since Tue...

I wouldn't put a cure or thorough treatment too far out of the way. What with stem cell treatments beginning to work wonders for other ailments, there's a possibility damaged ear cells and nerves could be repaired in a decade's time or less. Yes, I did many stupid things as a teenager which I...

Sounds like you got a handle on it fairly well. Cheers. That's what I'm worried about in terms of the future. I'm 25 and hoping it's not unbearable when I'm 45. Though I also hope that by that time there may be some form of therapy which preserves the hearing yet cancels out or greatly reduces...

Thanks fishbone, Yeah, with it still being kinda new (I can't actually remember what silence sounds like at this point though) I still don't know my noise tolerance limits and need to really become vigilant with the ear protection. I love the cinema and have made it my career and sometimes I...

Hi, I was really trying to avoid ever having to post here. When I first got T back in July of last year (SSHL caused it most likely), I came here and lurked out of anxiety and fear. After a while, and dozens of visits with doctors, I found a specialist, habituated to my T and kinda sorta moved...
