@Strawberryblonde, After a brutal month long spike it is finally calming down. Not at baseline bit much better. Dealing with mom in hospice was too much. Had to step back and start taking care of myself.

@SharonBell At night. Also take hydroxizine.

@SharonBell I am not sure how old you are but it is expected that we lose higher frequencies as we age often by the time enter your 30s. There is much debate about this as a cause of T since those frequencies are not frequently part of our environment so it begs the question as to why the brain...

@SharonBell And he thinks that there’s still a very good chance it’s related to my TMJ. My TMJ related headaches have gotten appreciably worse in the last few weeks along with my tinnitus. I’m getting fitted for a mouthguard. Going back to PT for my jaws. But I’m really terrified this is a...

@SharonBell I do. I have for years and it has not bothered my T. I think the risk is very low. If you look hard enough you will find someone that will link their T to any med. I do investigate all new meds that Ate RX,d. I have just gone through a horrific worsening of my T x one month and I...

@MindOverMatter Did your tinnitus improve at all?

@MindOverMatter, went fine but they don’t do extended because there are no benchmarks for higher frequencies not part of the normal soundscape. In other words they don’t expect us to hear dog whistles. Now I have hope the TMJ treatment works.

@DeanD. Hope not. I try really hard not to eat crunchy things. Last night the sound of my voice wasn’t very loud because the ambient noise was loud enough. I noticed the occlusion effect of my own voice mostly it’s quiet around me. Which is almost never the case in a restaurant.

@MindOverMatter Agreed but every place is loud now. And I find myself angry when others come in to dine and ruin my quiet.

@MindOverMatter Thank you. To clarify, It wasn’t the noise level that made my tinnitus bothersome, it was the occlusion effect of the heavy duty ear protection. Ugh. You can’t win. I look around at all these people and wonder how they can sit in the noisy environments unprotected. My husband...

@SharonBell I have TMJ. Same symptoms. Aggravates tinnitus big time. I am a big clencher. It can change the nature and frequency of Tinnitus. Getting a night guard. I would look into it.

@SharonBell It never used to bother me because I always assumed was related to my head cold because it was the only time it ever happened to me. I wonder if I’m just freaking out about it because I’m in a spike and I’m just freaking out about everything right now.

@SharonBell Looked online to see if congestion can cause head noise. And it all pointed me towards tinnitus. Whaaat? It’s not like I have it normally. Tuesday tried to take a nap and my head started making the noise and nose itched. This am I woke up and I turned over and it started making that...

@SharonBell I saw you post abt head T. I never really had, or so I thought. My T has always been in my ears. But for most of my life when I’ve had a really bad head cold I got this roaring noise in my middle of my head. It’s not steady it just kind of comes and goes in waves. Sometimes when I...

@SharonBell How bad is your damage? I mean on audio gram?

@BrOKeN_1 @Ryan Scott Thank you both. Worst year of my life on top of other medical issues and this awful condition.

@Robster The higher pitch is the worst. Like a table saw in my ear. Probably not as loud as I experience it but so HF. Hear it over everything. Had a few good days and now back to screeching. The worst part is not being able to mask. Freq too high. Hope you get some relief.

@Strawberryblonde how are you? Been off for a while. Spike settled. Now a new one. Not sure why. Loud restaurant with ear plugs. Probably should have used my solid inserts for more protection. Also dealing with ailing mother who needs a lot. Very stressful. Not sleeping.

@BrOKeN_1. How are you? Been off for a while. Was doing pretty good and then ended up with another inexplicable spike. Friends took me to dinner at a loud restaurant but I had my custom-made earplugs in. Been dealing with an ailing parent I’m sure the stress and lack of sleep isn’t helping. Now...

Hey there. Mine was a week and a half ago. Friends took me to a super loud restaurant. I had what I thought was ample ear protection. My custom earplugs w/25 dB filters. Apparently not enough for 3 1/2 hour meal. Been in a spike since. Tinnitus reactive now So my sound therapy no longer works...

Agreed. So unfair. And I take care of my hearing.

@Nick23 started couple hours after I was out to dinner for my birthday a week and a half ago. Very loud restaurant but I used what I thought was pretty ample protection. But I also came off the heels of being sick for 3weeks. It’s so hard to know what causes a spike. And now evidently reactive...

@Nick23 I usually use it if I suspect inflammation. Because that’s really the only point of taking it. I’ve had hearing loss in the past and it’s really helped. Right now I’m on it because I’ve been sick and I have a massive massive spike going on right now with reactive T. I think the worst...

@Nick23 Sorry. I’ve literally been off ofTT for a few months. I guess you can tell the pattern of T spikes by the frequency of my posts. As for the prednisone, sometimes if have a really spike. I always do about 21 days. The first 2 weeks at a higher dose 60/ 50/ 40 mg.

I’m sorry I’ve been off TT for quite a while so I didn’t notice your comment. I always try to take a good 21 days of of prednisone. Two weeks at a higher dose.

Mo8409. Thanks. Sure hope so. It’s so annoying when you’ve been doing well for a while and then all of a sudden bom. Per my DecibelMeter and it was only 70 dB to 80 every now and then. It was outdoors so it’s diffused. It wasn’t even a giant party maybe 40 people. Still kicking myself. I mean...
