I have read where many experience intense spikes and they go away in a few seconds. I have it happen often. This time it has not gone away and has me in a panic Reading over advice that everyone has given about spikes helps me understand but very scared that it won't return to baseline. Just...

Been working on habituation using IWLM technique and Silvine. Being challenged with a new tone on top of regular sound. Causing a set back, any suggestions or technique to cope. So scared praying it goes back to what I was used to.:cry:

Affirmation. I accidentally deleted it. Went something like this "T is just a sound, will not give it my attention etc." To be said four times a day Hope I can find it. Thanks

How do you handle spikes using your methods very bad day today.

This is scary, would have bouts that were fleeting sensation this attack is hours. What should I do? Took meclizine, not helping I am in years with frustration.

Reading your reply to Christian. You mentioned you helped a person on one of the tinnitus boards with free TRT therapy, with the instruction he must stay off tinnitus sites. Is this the missing link for some of us? Thanks

Had great success with the help of I Who Love Music and Silvine UNTIL I got involved with meds for different medical issues. Took Tegretol for nerve pain, that led to all over body rash. Then Zyrtec was prescribed and that has caused a spike. I asked the doc if Zyrtec OK for patients with T was...

Have an all body itchy rash that is getting worse instead of better. Been through the whole thing about new products or food. Also having mild flu like symptoms with it. I bet the suggest a steroid pack and that scares me with T. Any suggestions? Benadryl helped a bit but now not so much. Want...

was told iron levels are low, what are safe iron supplements? Forgot ferrous glauconite was suggested. Thanks

Therapist I saw his only suggestion was just "let it be". Are there techniques that are used? Where can I find more information? Thanks

My tinnitus is louder. Thought it was a spike but not lowering. Any tips on coping? Thanks everyone...

You wise and compassionate people are the best source of information for me. Having a pain in my head right on the top on and off for two weeks. neurologist guess if nerve and wanted to do injection of anthestic and steroids. He did say that it could make the pain and T temporarily worse with no...

Am babysitting and this baby is crying and shrieking all day. Wearing ear protection because of it. Then husband puts in his two cents on my calming techniques . Well that added to my frustration and now good ear is involved. Yep stress makes it worse! Lesson learned no more babies and whining...

Was having a "good" day until I got on the treadmill. I wear noise canceling headphones with low volume. Trying to stay healthy but what a price tag. I know BP is up while walking/running. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone.

This was listed under signs of health our ears tell us: Ringing Ears A persistent ringing, whistling, buzzing, chirping, hissing, humming, roaring or even shrieking noise in the ears is commonly associated with the condition tinnitus. According to the Harvard Medical School Harvard Health...

Was looking for magnesium supplements and came a cross this product. Check out all the reviews on Amazon. Entire line of CALM products all with raving reviews. Has anyone had any experience?

I did live near a small airport and had to move because of the noise, always bothered by traffic noise and stopped a family clock that chimed. The following book describes me even before tinnitus started. Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight by Sharon Heller...

OMG this is a tough one, usually these kind last for a few seconds but this is staying and has me worried. Just venting to those who know what it is like. Thank you all.

"If your head is overheated with such concerns, you may be a perfect candidate for the Muse — the first consumer-focused headband that is not so much a wearable, but more of a thinkable. The Muse's one and only goal, for the moment: To look at your brain activity and help you stop thinking so...

In good ear, the kind that usually lasts for a few seconds. But is not going away. Left ear has static chirping noise, right ear squeal. HOW do we habituated? Out of the blue during a dream. Sigh, thanks for being here, needed to vent.

Called doc office on Friday because I have symptoms of a bladder infection. Waiting for lab work to see if there is an infection. Was prescribed Cipro until results are in so that I might get some relief IF there is an infection and now I read how bad it is for tinnitus. I am miserable with...

Trileptal 150 at bedtime. First morning not too bad T worse as day went on. Second same thing but spiked. How do I know if it is from meds or normal spike? Also T has changed tone more hissing than before. Thanks this is the last attempt,

high pitch squeal T was low when I first woke up. Lying there not wanting to ruin the moment New sound has joined in. Sounds like muffled rain on a window. Start my day high pitch T is back joined by the tap tap tap sound. What is going on in the brain to send different signals? Very curious...

Wore them over 12hrs two days in a row but WOW can't sleep because of the volume of the T. Sleep used to be my escape, not anymore. Anyone know what is happening? BTW hearing loss is very very small, using aids to help with T. Thanks

To tune it out and listen to the T I will scream!!

I find it is on the "naughty" list anyone have a suggestion for a similar product with aggravating T. I appreciate your help.

Hi, I have been away from the boards and have done most of treatments to help with my T. Acupuncture, PT, hearing aids meds, supplements and psychiatry. Latest is RX from neurologist is Gabapentin. Anyone with experience with this drug? Today is such a loud day I have come back to those who can...

Such as head on pillow, bending neck? 2am hard time resting. Thanks everyone.

Having a spike with lots of hissing. Had a hearing test and the tones they played in my ears might have caused this spike. I have enough loss for hearing aid, have to do some research. Also have a dental appt to see if there is a TMJ issue. Anyone have TMJ caused T? Treatment that "might" help...

Very nice ENT, took time to explain about tinnitus etc. Will have a hearing test next week, MRI, and did think I "might" benefit from a hearing aid. Of course in my dreams he was going to "cure" me. sigh...so back right where I started, here with all of you to lean on and learn and wait for the...

Not me. Also while I pray for habituation, if it was as easy as non T suffers believe, then why aren't more of us posting and celebrating?

because the spike I have had last couple of days is taking over my life again. I have noticed the primary ear does have hearing loss that I am noticing more and more. Smoke detector went off, I did not hear it. Cat bumped into a platter that hit the floor. I never heard it. All happened during...

As if the steady ringing is not enough now I have this intermediate sound every few seconds. Reminds me of water dripping, drip pause drip. I know tinnitus has many sounds this one is very new. Thanks everyone.

Beginning to hate going to sleep. Every time I wake up my T is different. How do you habituate to that? Crazy.

Ticking clock, certain pitches that kind of thing. I even bought a TV many years ago that I had to return because of a high pitch squeal that only I heard. Just curious if any other T suffers had the same experience.

Wish I could figure out what makes some days louder than others.

People from all over the world here to help each other. So glad I found you. Nobody gets it like you do. No matter what time of day or day of the week, I can "check in". Wish I could hug every one of you and say thanks. Hope today was good for you and tomorrow even better.

All my doc appointments are weeks out. Cleveland Clinic here has a support group with resources. No opening until March. Have apt with psychiatrist that helps with this group, month away. whew. Returned to work yesterday and it was horrible, sensitivity to sounds was unbearable. Just venting...

I saw some apps for the iPhone and iPod, anyone have tried them? Some cost a bit more than I would like to pay if they are not useful. Thanks.

Found this fact while doing some research... "Stress, which may be caused by grief or depression, can be a direct cause of tinnitus in itself as the result can be that your hypothalamus, which is responsible for the production of certain brain chemicals, ceases to function adequately. Many...

not about tuning out or "not listening" for it. Get so upset sets my off into heart arrhythmia due to stress...how to stop this hell?

Went to ER last night. Had pain in my head was not sure what was going on. gee would a brain tumor be easier to cure? Did a scan, was ok. Did find I have a urinary infection.hmm Woke up and now I also have problems with my both ears making sounds and the fullness. Never had attack this long...

I have been taking Vitamin D per doc Rx and have been reading that it can cause ringing in ears as side effect. Magnesium being low, anyone with any knowledge? Thanks

Been using for many years at night to block out noises from environment. Can this make T worse? Very very low volume. Wondering if the technology in the headphones can cause and damage? They are Bose and you must turn them on to work. Anyone have any info? Thanks.

Been suffering a long time, sometimes I can tolerate it better. Going through a rough time now and hope to learn from everyone,including coping methods. I have read many posts and can identify with almost all of them. Look forward to all your support, so many of us here. Leah
