Hey! I wonder how you're doing? I found your message on my profile a bit late, because I did not come back to the forum for a long time. Just let me know how things are (:

My one year anniversary. I celebrate with covid, which made my T get even worse. I found some short periods of 'habituation' though!

Today, I am officially 2 months into my 'spike/new baseline'. No improvement, just more different sounds. Mentally I'm coping better tho.

Thinking of that one time I went indoor skydiving back when I had my T under control. Zero fear, no effect on it. What a life that was lol!

Migraines, sinistus, visual snow, my jaw hurts. My spike is spiking. I'm giving myself a year, if it does not get better I'm ending it.

Aw I'm glad I've discovered this wonderful thread - look at you guys! Going through pictures is hard, because I miss my life and how it was. It feels like I'm mourning over it. I decided to post this picture with my mom as she is my rock and best friend, especially in situations like this there...

Just had 3 episodes in my left ear where I couldn't hear for some time and ear feels full. Can't tell if it's back to normal, is this SSHL?

About the same audiogram as 5 years ago when I was 20. My ENT said the right eardrum was collapsed inward a bit (decreased pressure). Does that explain the air-bone gap? Also, I guess my tinnitus got worse (7 weeks in now) from increased hidden hearing loss? I'm still trying to find an...

Hi Rust, I get that you're worried but I don't think this will cause a permanent spike. May I ask how long your drug induced (cocaine) spike lasted? I did not want to post on an old thread, but since you're active again... I'm going through something similar right now and it has been around 7...

So theoretically, if your tinnitus cannot be masked in any way and you're forced to listen to it all day. Will that 'speed up' habituation?

I have this as well, but they say they cannot treat ETD, except for the nasal spray they described. Is there any information I can look up about this?

Went to the beach today, for a nice walk. Even though the sounds are not masked by the waves, it was nice to feel the sun on my face

How do you know this?

Why does it become worse? I have no idea. Please stop it, I'm doing my absolute best :(

Oh no! What should I do about my ETD then?

Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps maybe? It's very relaxing as well :)

Spoke with the audiologist today. She told me my ENT referred to them before, in 2017, bc of a long spike. I personally forgot about that?

Thank you @Steph1710 for your support (also on my statuses). I'm not exaggerating when I say it is life-saving. I read about spikes taking a long time to get back to baseline. I really hope so! I'm from the South-West (Zeeland), close to Belgium :) I like Arnhem! Did you enjoy your time in...

Update So I went to see the ENT in Antwerp, Belgium. Nothing came out of that, he said I have ETD and that my right eardrum was retracted and red. My left eardrum is basically all scar tissue because of the many ear infections I had as a kid. He gave me Avamys (nasal spray) and sent me on my...

Hey there, My main T tone is the same as yours! How's it going so far? Would love to hear an update!

Pulsatile T on top of everything. Whooshing heartbeat in my right ear. Can hear it 'thump' with every step I take. Just keeping track here.

Hey I know this is a really old thread. Mine was gone for almost 10 blissful years. It is back now, I don't know why. BUT it is definitely possible.

Having my bottom left wisdom tooth removed in 2 days, it's impacted. Read contradictory stories: go or cancel?

This new year's eve I had to run outside for a bit and really loud fireworks went off near me. I just read damage is cumulative. :/

Today, I declined this test. Thanks to the forum/thread. I'm glad I did, because it wouldn't have made a difference for what my ENT eventually told me and could've made things worse (you can all guess what he said). Bumping for awareness!

@Joe C, how are things going for you?

Intense ear pain. Gut feeling T is gonna be permanent, but I am not losing hope. Had a good night's sleep and started taking magnesium.

I don't feel like I get any response here. Reading other posts is helpful, though.

I am currently roughly one month into what I hope is a spike. It's never been this bad. New sounds, no sleep, trying to manage my anxiety and not think of suicide. I developed hyperacusis two weeks ago. Even though I had tinnitus ever since I can remember, the hyperacusis is totally new to me...

Alright, I hope this goes for me! We will just have to wait and see and in the meantime I will protect my hearing like @Michael Leigh says. Is it possible that it's my wisdom tooth? My hyperacusis is getting worse, what can be the cause of that? I cannot seem to find an answer to that. Thank...

Hi there, I'm so glad I found this forum. The community seems very supportive. I've had tinnitus since I can remember - ever since I was 4 I told my parents about it. Long story short: my parents tried everything available back then, nothing helped. Eventually I guess I habituated. In the next...
