Hi @Bette1969, In my opinion, foam plugs (32 dB NRR) is more than enough for clapping. How large is the crowd? Thanks, Peter

I got the COVID-19 vaccine 4 days ago. Afterwards, I was only sore in the arm for a day, no effect on tinnitus. Just sharing my experience.

I was in ER when I read this thread, I probably had the same thing, my fleeting tinnitus is always high pitch but this fleeting tone is lower and loud and my ears felt full. Just an update, this thread saved me from going crazy, as of writing this my tinnitus is going down. Thanks @mgbigair and...

@mgbigair I'm freaking out right now, sudden low tone and fullness in right ear!!! It's been an hour.

@Telis I think 1 member posted this, I was hoping it's disco music @ 100 dB exposure. With 20 dB ear plugs it's supposed to be not too bad, but again I agree with you, tinnitus ears could be fragile already.

@Telis Same situation here! 6 days ago attended a xmas party, during dinner it was ok, then dancing started, stayed for 45 minutes and wore my ER-20 Etymotics, I felt safe, next day tinnitus was high and new hiss on left ear. I have had tinnitus since 2012 and had been managing well. Next 2...

For me, spikes caused by car horns are temporary, always goes back down, relax, you’ll be fine.

Same boat here, 7 years of tinnitus and been managing well. 4 days ago I attended our Christmas party and stayed 45 minutes when dance music started, I was wearing my Etymotics and I felt safe but now I have a new hiss in my left ear and the tinnitus is loud. Now I'm just riding it out hoping...

Hi @Karen, @Burnsie and everyone with PT I had high pitched T in both ears since Aug 2012, I've lived with it, 5 days ago Im so sick coughing, fever x 7 days, doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 500 3x/day and for 3 consecutive days was taking Tylenol 500 mg every 4-6 hrs. So, 2 days ago I woke up...

When my T was new, had to go to my Orthodontist for braces, every visit my t would be high afterwards but goes back down the next day or two. Fast forward 4 years later, about 3 months ago I had a crown done, just wore foam plugs and relaxed, Whoa! T was fine after the visit.

I know what you mean about the cicadas in the middle of the brain sound. Im having it right now. All I can say is I HOPE it goes down for both of us.

Hi everyone, I havent been here awhile. I had my gallbladder removed 14 days ago (April 18), I took Tylenol 500 mg and Advil 400 mg for 3x a day 2-3 days after surgery then stopped after 4 days, My T has been okay after that but it has been high since Thursday (April 28) until now with a...

@Enrique Hi, I am a registered nurse, got T in 2012, after awhile I got used to it...I work in a hospital , yes there are loud sounds, occasional fire alarms, but I get through it. Using a steth, seems daunting at first but you just tell the client to refrain from talking then you'll be fine...

@DebInAustralia Still ringing loudly, I'm reading my modules online (studying for Renal Nursing), This afternoon I took a nap and it went ballistic, so i kept busy, watch TV, went swimming, it lowered a little...now after sleeping for 3 1/2 hours it's loud again, it seems SLEEP is triggering...

Hi Debbie, I usually know my triggers, Loud Noise, Medications and Food (MSG), I've gone through all of them and it usually goes down after a day or two. I took lorazepam 0.5 mg on thursday, Cyclobenzaprine 0.5 mg on friday and saturday, but last night I decided not to, so here I am, ringing...

Hi everyone, I haven't been here awhile, I'm Peter, had T since August 1, 2012. My T is loud in both ears, but for the most part I got used to it. 3 days ago while watching TV my left ear suddenly develop a louder tone, and it stuck since then, I used to have episodes where the ringing would...

Hi Dr. Nagler, Will the CT Scan spike or exacerbate tinnitus? Thanks, Peter

Regular Coffee...spike for 4-6 hrs...i drink Decaf..no spike...I actually envy those whose T aren't affected by food or drinks.

Get well soon @Street Spirit !

Feel better @Amelia !!! I'm rooting for you...please do keep us updated!!

@Jones2020 I have the ear twitching too. It started 4 months after I got my T in August 2012. It happens about every 2-3 months for me. I also have benign fasciculations (twitching) in my legs and all over, but the body twitching is far and few in between. Last year i recorded at least 7...

@Telis i wear the swimmers ear plugs to keep my ears dry and to prevent any potential ear infection by water in the ear...it is my precaution since if one gets ear infection, one has no choice but to take antibiotic which most of us here with T would rather not take...-)

@ampumpkin I thought your spike from Biaxin/Clarithromycin went down or you seemed to have gotten used to it?

I swim everyday doing laps, I wear ear plugs and always wipe my ears dry afterwards. I also avoid diving and going underwater in the deeper end.

How can you train the brain to get used to it if it is the one (brain noise) causing it??

@bill 112 What kind of high frequency sound?

I love both teams, I actually have 2 teams the Heat and the Spurs, but this year I wanted the Spurs to win, and get that 5th trophy for Tim Duncan!!!!

@ampumpkin So how long had you had this spike? In the list of ototoxic drugs Biaxin is ototoxic if given intravenously and if one has insufficient kidney function...you've taken it orally, give it time it will go down again. Keep us updated!

@iAzra Hi, I think you'll be fine...just relax...keep busy...the metal screech maybe unsettling but I don't think it will damage your hearing..give it time... (y)

@mmacabre Hi, how's your spike? I got a reprieve on day 6..but mine is still high...it's been 8 days now. I had this same spike last year...it took a little over a month before it went down or I got used to it.

@Vegas Robb yesterday my fifth day its still high but today its gone down a bit

@Lynnette hi! Its been 3 days since i took ibuprofen and my t is still high...i hope i did not mess up my t

@Vegas Robb did the ibuprofen spike go down for you? How many days?

Thanks for the replies!

Hi, I got severe foot pain last week so I took 200 mg of Ibuprofen once a day for 3 days and the first 2 days my T was okay then on the 3rd which was 2 days ago my T just turned very high, I know it's the Ibuprofen. Anyone here had T spike due to Ibuprofen? Did it go down for some of you? How...

@jmccombs82 the app is called ISuppress it's free... hey @AnneG, Im okay, getting used to my T again...had a huge spike last month but it seems to be getting back down...how about you?

I turned 45 y.o. June 2012 then August 1 2012 woke up at 3 a.m. with high pitch T....

Hi, I found an app for my Iphone (I think a member mentioned this before) it's called Isuppress, and I slid it to 8 khz and I found my T sound exactly the same!!! When I spike it goes to 10 khz, I started at 1 khz going to 6 khz I can still hear it but at 8 khz above I don't hear it at all...

@jazz , nope I haven't taken the flu shot yet, my T in the left ear seemed to sound metallic though, but this could be just a long spike, I actually am getting used to it (after 13 days):joyful:. Thanks for the encouragement though! Peter

Hey Erlend, Relax and calm down, like Markku I too have lots of inadvertent accidents regarding sounds, eg. listening to my Ipod with the volume really up, turning on the car radio with the volume at more than mid level, blasting myself when clicking a You tube video...) and everytime I would...

Hi everyone, Has anybody read the news that the Kansas City Chiefs broke the loudest stadium record for noise at 137 dB? That's crazy loud!!!

Hi Tim, Well it sure does feel good to know we are not alone. Welcome to TT.

The pharmacist told me all Melatonin are sublingual (under the tongue)? I bought the 3 mg and I'm planning to take half for now...wish me luck...I'll give an update tomorrow.

Well after more than a year I'm planning to try Melatonin, I know there are a lot here who used Melatonin, can you share your experience with this? I read that it's not supposed to be taken long term?

Thanks Markku!

Markku and Erik, I'm planning to probably take Lorazepam 0.5 mg for 3-4 days straight (once daily) this time I'm having a really bad time with my T will I need to taper off on the 4 day use or not? anyone?

I use Lorazepam 0.5 mg sparingly, I would go weeks without using it or the most would be twice in a week (for really bad T days)...am I in danger of withdrawal syndrome?

Probably just a temporary spike, next time, you might want to go out of the club like every hour and then take your plugs off and rest your ears before going back in again, but if you're using foam plugs be sure to bring several pairs.

I just continued to work full time even with my T, for me it actually took my mind off the monitoring or thinking about it, for me, working made it more faster for me to get use to my T, because I noticed that when I concentrate on something I don't hear my T, so at first I would have 5 mins of...

Anne, when you need to cover your ears to hear your T is good news at least, most of us here hear our T over TV, when we drive or out in traffic, I can hear my T over all this but I DID get used to it....don't despair, just try to take care of your ears from now on, wear plugs when you are in a...

Hi, the first time it happened to me I also panicked, but it always goes back down, now, if it happens usually when I have a bad dream, I can go back to sleep and when I wake the second time it's back down, it does happen from time to time, nothing to worry about...

Hi everybody, last friday I got a measles/mumps/rubella booster and yesterday everything seemed fine but today (sunday) my T is quite high, any thoughts if my spike is related to the shot? I'm supposed to get a flu shot this tuesday, should I go through with it? Thanks. Peter

It's called Fleeting or spontaneous tinnitus....your ears feel full and and a pure tone appears....it happens to almost everybody with T.

It has been a year since I woke up suddenly at 3 am with ringing in my ears, I still remember the constant pacing and going to quiet places, like the bathroom, kitchen listening to it. I had mild T when it started but I had a noise accident a month after I got T which made it quite more higher...

I have the molded ear plugs at 25 and 15 db, and I also have the Alpine Music Safe Pro with 3 attenuations, for low, medium and high protections. You are on the right path as Erik said, when I first got my T it was mild, after a month I went to a church service with very amplified music and I...

Sorry I didn't get it at first...have to ask around what is wreck beach...;)

I read a post from Tinnitus Yuku about Allopurinol too (don't know if that's you also), I might be having the same problem, Got slight pain in my big toe sometimes and I passed some renal stones when i void, I might be going to my GP sometime, let me know how it goes for you. BTW, How many Mg...

I just moved here in Richmond BC, from Los Angeles. Anyone here in TT live close by? Maybe we can start a support group. Thanks Peter
