I experience SBUTT (Sudden Brief Unilateral Tapering Tinnitus) triggered by tiny noises, along with reactive tinnitus. This happens in many situations. It is a daily occurrence. Here are three examples: Nighttime Sounds: If I am sleeping in my room with the window open, a distant dog barking...

I’ve had noise-induced tinnitus since 2016. It’s generally been fine, except for occasional spikes. But since December 14, it doesn’t seem to go away completely. Well, it does subside, but then it comes back again at night. I’m not sure why this has suddenly happened, but I’ve been feeling...

Am I going nuts analyzing tinnitus tones for no reason? I have 2 major tinnitus tones, one is about 8000 Hz and other is 1340 Hz. But I can hear maybe a dozen others, some of which come and some go. The tones show up from minutes to hours, then they disappear, sometimes don't show up again...

I've always practiced safe sex for vaginal intercourse, but not always for oral... A lot of people have no symptoms, so I'm wondering, should I get tested and risk taking antibiotics or just let things be for now, and maybe if later on there is a cure for tinnitus, get these things fixed up...

I've had tinnitus since 2015 and am totally habituated, but this is a new tone, and the panic is starting all over again, can't sleep, can't eat, suicidal and also, there is a lockdown and highly stressed in life. Tinnitus started yesterday. How long do I have to start taking Prednisone? 3...

I've had tinnitus since 2016, it was hell at first but I was habituated, until now... With the lockdowns (curfew in Thailand now), no work and extremely toxic relationship, an old tinnitus tone has come back. This tone used to come and go, when I first got tinnitus. But it always vanished...

I've looked at this link: https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/atripla/tinnitus/ "16,719 people reported to have side effects when taking Atripla. Among them, 23 people (0.14%) have tinnitus." 23 out of 16,719 people reported tinnitus as a side effect, and even then, maybe these people got the...

I'm doing desensitization but I feel more comfortable wearing plugs when riding my moped in traffic in Thailand. I can drive without. But just a matter of time until a loud bike, Harley or loud horn will zap me... Lets say I wear plugs in traffic an hour a day, non consecutive, maybe ride to...

Today I drove my moped without muffs for about 30 minutes, at first it wasn't loud for me, but at the end it was getting a little too much, it "felt" louder. After coming back to my room, my tinnitus was up a little but it might only have been my imagination...? 2 hours later I'm fine...

What is adequate protection for being in traffic? I have hyperacusis and tinnitus Are Peltor 35 dB enough? Or should I double up with plugs? I don't know my LDL, but faucet is loud and I can only handle being in the room or out at the beach for long periods of time (room is 30-35 dB and beach...

I have noticed that muffs seem to create decibels when exposed to wind because they are not streamlined. Or maybe they create an echo? I'm looking for some scientific evidence on this as I have hyperacusis and want to safely drive my small motorbike, I went down a hill with engine off and db is...

I live in Thailand and although my condo is in the back, sometimes loud noise happen , but far away... But they sound loud to me. Is it safer to close the window? Or the noises would be too far to do any damage?

When a spike increases in volume, then goes back to baseline, are you ok it won't be permanent? Last night my T suddenly spiked in left ear, very loud. Lasted the night, then in the morning back to baseline and quiet again, actually very quiet. Can I be pretty sure that was a temp spike? Not...

Looking for muffs, is 35 db overkill? Looking for something to ride my motorbike with, not a loud bike, also for plane and bus travel: http://th.rs-online.com/web/p/ear-defenders/4496499/ Ear Defender Headband, 35dB Is this overkill? Should I get the 30 db model, or 27? Now I have the 22...

For me Whitney Houston "I will always love you" .... It just kills me, actually it killed me before tinnitus... Special distinction: The Titanic soundtrack also "My Heart Will Go On", and the movie also, if there was a Tinnitus for the eyes, I would be blinded by it! ;)

I did some research, and it's scary... Glad I never went to concerts yet after getting tinnitus and hyperacusis, WITH protection... Here is how plugs ratings work: NRR 22 means: 23 - 7/2 = 8 So an NRR 23 dB plug only gets you a real life dB protection of 8 decibels. Correct me if I'm wrong?

I'm about 7 weeks into T and my H is getting worse...might have been because spending time at police station where it was loud with no plugs, about 5 minutes... Maybe I'm not protecting enough? I haven't been exposed to insane noises, just normal environment, but now, even dishes hurt... I...

I have both t and h. Loud sounds increase the h in real time, quiet for an hour or 2 brings it back down. Yesterday I had a loud day, when I came back home I felt it, my voice sounded louder and all sounds also. All I did was run on the beach, but there was more traffic yesterday. My h spikes...

Is that possible with ear plugs or muffs IF they are worn throughout the event and worn properly?

I found this article on PubMed. Looks like Xanax provides tinnitus relief? Use of alprazolam for relief of tinnitus. A double-blind study Any experience with Xanax?

I'm doing some testing with my H to manage it. I have noticed that if I sleep without masking, (only very quiet fan), when I wake up every small sounds are very loud, light switch etc...super sensitive. So what I did last night is sleep with rain noise all night, but not that loud, but louder...

I was at police station to ask a question. Stayed there 10 minutes, dB were about 60-70, no plugs as I was told it's OK in normal environments (not bar, not concert. Right after leaving I had no problem. It started 6 hours later, now nealy 20 hours and not better... Now my t and h have...

No horror stories or responses to make me panic please! I have Tinnitus AND Hyperacusis. Not sure how bad the Hyperacusis because I'm new to this at 6 weeks into it...I can walk around the street, can have TV on, normal sounds, but music and sitting in a bar with low music is too loud...

I use Tolperisone to help with sleep. It works pretty good. Doctors say it's not ototoxic. I saw a research paper that says it's used to reverse hearing loss. Additionally, I haven't found tinnitus as a possible side effect. I deem it safe. Any views on this? Here is the article: Reasons for...

I'm about 6 weeks into this, not sure how I got it, probably MP3 for years. This is my daily schedule: 7-10:30 AM relatively quiet, on lucky days can't hear it for a few seconds, especially after swimming. 10:30 - 5 pm, louder, but somehow bearable, depending on my mood, I can kind of get...

I was standing there, then suddenly my right ear got louder for no reason, same tone... After a few minutes it seemed to equalize between both ears fortunately, but still louder than usual. Will this calm down, is that what they call a "spike"... Scarring the hell out of me... I'm on...

I'm 4 weeks into this and seems it will be for good... So might as well start attempting to treat myself! Problem is I'm in Thailand, and no resources here, or if they are, very expensive, snake oil ENT's and more importantly...DANGEROUS sometimes! Bad advice, treatments that might make things...

If I feel bad side effects on prednisone on first or second dose, can I stop abruptly? I have a 10 day supply of prednisone pills. But I'm afraid of a bad reaction from the first dose... Can I stop after one or two doses? Or after one or two days? Or do I need to taper from the single first...

Just trying to make the right decision over here if I should take Prednisone or not...

I'm at 30 days now, and the doctor in Thailand prescribed me a course of prednisolone. I'm a scared of taking it, in case it makes me t worse... Additionally, can it even work? I'm not even sure how I got my T, loud MP3 for years, stress ect...I have TMG, TMJ ect.... Can this even help me or...
