    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    Has anyone ever experienced an increase in their regular tinnitus after having an episode of "fleeting tinnitus"? That seems to be what happened to me recently, which is unusual because I've had hundreds of fleeting tinnitus episodes over the years without any issues. Normally, the fleeting...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Has anyone experienced fleeting tinnitus along with muffled hearing that lasted for several hours? Yesterday, I had a pretty terrifying experience while out for dinner. I suddenly went completely deaf in my left ear, accompanied by a loud, intense tinnitus. I almost took 60mg of Prednisone...

    SBUTT (Fleeting Tinnitus) Triggered by Neck / Jaw Position

    ...Whenever I lie down in certain positions—like on my side with my neck bent—I can feel my tinnitus cutting in and out until I experience a fleeting tinnitus episode. These episodes usually involve low or medium frequencies, similar to my baseline tinnitus. After these episodes, I often have...

    Fleeting Tinnitus → Chronic Tinnitus?

    ...as I age but assured me there was nothing to worry about. It's been a month since the loud exposure, and I have been experiencing frequent fleeting tinnitus. I usually don't get worried because I have experienced this before, but not on a daily basis. It's never long (2-4 seconds), and there...

    Fleeting Deafness Instead of Fleeting Tinnitus?

    I've experienced many bouts of fleeting tinnitus, where the ringing gets LOUD for a few seconds and immediately trails off in a matter of seconds. I get these attacks maybe twice per week. Lately though, I've had what I would describe as fleeting hearing loss. These attacks are completely...

    New Tinnitus Tone While Sleeping? Fleeting Tinnitus (SBUTT) Turned Into Something More Persistent?

    ...in my ears. At that time, it was so intense that I couldn’t even understand her because of the noise. Some people have suggested it might be fleeting tinnitus, while others mentioned SBUTT. The ringing decreased by 60-70% after about two hours, but it never returned to its usual level. Then...

    Terrifying Fleeting Deafness for Hours: Is It Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

    Have the fleeting tinnitus episodes worsened your existing tones or added a new one? Usually, I have so many tones that it’s impossible to keep track of them all. However, this fleeting episode brought a new high-frequency tone that feels more stable and noticeable than the others.

    ...brief, but the ringing lasted for several hours. It took an entire month to settle down a bit, but it is still not close to baseline. As a result, the ringing returned in my good ear. I also experienced a lot of fleeting tinnitus episodes after that, and some of them even introduced new sounds.

    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    Hey, the same thing happened to me. Did yours return to baseline? Mine never fully does. I think mine might also be fleeting tinnitus, but it never fully goes away and takes hours to settle each time. Every time it happens, my tinnitus becomes worse and louder, and it doesn’t seem to resolve on...

    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    I’ve been experiencing increased tinnitus for the past three weeks, which started after a one-hour episode of what I believe was fleeting tinnitus.

    Sounds like fleeting tinnitus (sudden brief unilateral tapering tinnitus). Interesting as we don't know what causes that. I'd not consider fleeting tinnitus a spike personally. I think the least impactful sleeping med is Melatonine 2MG. This is used for jetlags and is available without...

    Check my latest posts. I had the exact same experience. It felt like fleeting tinnitus or sudden onset, but it took hours to resolve. My audiogram showed no hearing loss, but it worsened the tinnitus in my right ear, and it never returned to baseline.

    Regular Tinnitus Appears Worse After an Episode of Fleeting Tinnitus

    You have some good questions. I’ve had TMJ for many years, but it never seemed to affect my tinnitus. I’ve never heard of an episode of fleeting tinnitus lasting an hour; typically, it lasts only seconds, usually less than a minute. As for your computer affecting you, unless it has very loud...

    Fleeting Tinnitus

    Hi Dr. Nagler, I've noticed when I am stressed about my T, I additionally keep getting fleeting tinnitus (deafness in one ear, paired with an extremely high pitched tone which fades within a few seconds/minutes of its rapid onset). This seems different to my "regular" T-noises. It's not...

    Hello, Yes, things have calmed down a bit. The fleeting tinnitus episode lasted for about 1–2 hours, and it took me a month to have a few good days again.

    @Nick47 I did Gabapentin short duration at lower dose and stopped because it was giving me longer fleeting tinnitus, it was so weird. Tried Trileptal for 2-3 weeks maybe? Thought some improvement in first week then nothing. And Keppra was short as well because I started to spike.

    I didn't after that. Are you talking about fleeting tinnitus (seconds of tonal spike) or a long spike? I experienced also increased tinnitus from Amitryptiline and Carbamazepine. Both of them died down within 2 weeks after stopping. It seems I'm very sensitive for meds.

    Is a Sudden Increase in Transient Ear Noise Cause for Concern?

    I think this phenomenon is a sign of both. That is to say, when damage occurs; for example, when a hair cell dies, the fleeting tinnitus is the auditory system recalibrating for the loss. Also, if healing occurs, the fleeting tinnitus occurs as a sort of test tone as the auditory system...
