@Eric N, did your spike subside after this incident? Similar thing happened to me today.

Loudness hyperacusis with reactive tinnitus. It wasn't reactive before the hearing protection abuse. My tinnitus has become highly reactive. It spikes in reaction to pretty much any sound. People talking, road noise inside the car, tap water running in kitchen, if I sneeze, someone giggling...

My 2 cents. I fucked up my tinnitus and got hyperacusis following some members' advice here of using hearing protection against any sounds. Do not, at any cost, use hearing protection 24x7. It will definitely make things worse. I wish I had listened to @Michael Leigh.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate your replies. Currently it is day 2 and the tinnitus spike and hyperacusis are still really bad. I feel pressure in my head as well. I hope it goes back to the baseline.

Hi @Michael Leigh, I am reaching out for help again as I did the stupidest thing possible today. I was in the car pool lane and in order to grab my son's attention, I yelled really loud with earplugs inserted. I was wearing the musician's earplugs and I think I might have yelled as high as 90...

Thank you so much for your thoughts Michael. Your posts are always a breath of fresh air and gives some hope. What is your opinion on the use of hearing protection? Everything I do seems to spike my tinnitus. I started working out and doing cardio on a treadmill daily and guess what, it also...

How about listening through hearing aids? I have Phonak Audeo P90 with Bluetooth?

Hello Michael, thank you for the reply. I would say that I was fairly habituated till 2019. I think for me the decline started in 2021 post lockdowns. In this timeframe I had COVID-19 shots and we started travelling. I don't listen to music through headphones, however I did use them...

Hello, @Michael Leigh: I have noise-induced tinnitus which is severe and now in both ears. It started with a monotone in left ear and nothing in right. Now it's a hiss, static and chirp in left ear and a monotone in right. These are loud high frequency sounds. I also have sound sensitivity...

@Rust, what was the result, did you get a permanent spike?

I took Atorvastatin for almost 2 years. And I think it made my tinnitus worse. I was taking 40 mg and now I stopped. Do you guys think my tinnitus will go back to baseline since I stopped the drug? Or is it a long term damage?

How did it go with the spike? Did it come down? Same thing happened to me today.

Did it die down?

The most annoying thing about members here is they don't provide closure to their posts. This includes me as well. This time when my flare up settles I will write a post about it so the people who come here looking for answers can find one instead of more complaints without end results.

I am in the same boat as OP. Anything I do seem to make it worse. Yesterday was at a dinner with my wife and son and the place was a little loud but not horribly loud. I also had my Phonak P90 hearing aids in. Anyways, just out of the blue a server accidentally dropped some glasses on a glass...

Doctors don't know shit about tinnitus. I hope a few of them get it.

Thank you for the valuable replies. I really appreciate the support. I wanted to share the "spike" type. It is actually a combination of sounds now, like a shrill squeak and a beep kind of sound.. or rather a mixture of squeal, crickets and birds kind of sound. It is really annoying though. Its...

Thank you all for the support. I really appreciate all the suggestions. Its the third day and the spike is still there. It is very loud and i can hear it on top of everything else. I would really appreciate if somebody can share the experience with how this should affect someone with SNHL. How...

Hi members, Yesterday my son and I were playing, and he accidentally screamed in my left ear which is my tinnitus ear. The scream lasted for a second or two but the intensity was loud. At that very moment I could hear a beep along with the usual hissing and static noise. So I just panicked...

It will be good to know how long they can usually last. In my case it veen two months already..

I have a spike which started in last week of November after an accidental slap on my left ear that had tinnitus. It's still not gone. In fact I can hear tinnitus in right ear too now which wasn't there before. My right ear had some hearing loss but no tinnitus. During the Christmas season I...

Hi bill, third week with the loud apike or rather combination of hissing, sqeualing and buzzing is not going away. I started a 5 days ourse of prednisone 20mg plus off the clunter lipofavinoid (which i think is nothing more than a scam).. i am confused if the slap is supposed to do this much...

Guys its been two weeks and the spike is still there and its really loud.. i didnt go to a doctor since i did not feel any pain or fulness at that time.. what should i do?

I hope mine calms down too.. i was playing with my four year old and he kind of slapped my left year.. it was too instant for me to remember but it was with enough force that i can hear a combination of sounds, hissing, squeal, and beep from that year.. this happened on a sunday evening and...

Been 24hrs now but the intensity of noise is same. So my question stands.. Will the spike go to the baseline? Or i am going to hear it forever? How long is it going to take for the spike to go back to the base line?

Will the spike go to the baseline? Or i am going to hear it forever? How long is it going to take for the spike to go back to the base line?

Thank you all for the instant responses. I just woke up and i dont feel fulness anymore but the spike is still there with same intensity. It all happened so instantly.. i dont quite remember if my ear was sealed or of i felt reverse suction since it all happened in a blink. I do recall that i...

Hi, I have tinnitus in my left ear for two ear now and I am quite accustomed to the noise. I was diagnosed with hearing loss in my right ear. Recently, today someone slapped me on my left ear, the one with tinnitus and there is a spike, loud one and fullness. I am not sure about the intensity...

Dear members, I need your help. I have T for about 8 months now. It was only in my left ear and I was coping with it. But recently i was holding my 1yr old in my lap and he out of excitement shouted at the top of his voice 2inches away from my left year. since then i hear whooshing shrill tone...
