Hi recently thought I was hearing an ambulance siren when really it was coming from my tinnitus. Gets louder when I’m louder environments? I’m so stressed and worried I don’t know what to do! I have had tinnitus for 3 years and have been doing so good up until now. Has anyone ever...

Ya it’s when I sleep it’s gone or extremely low in the the morning and throughout the day it comes back loud again being worst at night time! I was going to a really stressful period prior fo this happening I wonder did that have anything to do with this spike coming on? It’s a high pitched...

Jimh thanks so much for your advice! Have you had times when you got a spike and you thought it would never go away but it did? It’s so weird it’s like it goes away when I’m lying down and comes back when I stand up ?

Thank you so much! I hope it doesn’t happen for too long. Every time my tinnitus changes I panic and get terrified I’m in for another few months of misery. My tinnitus is my biggest fear in life it’s so unpredictable

Hi everyone I haven’t been on here for a long time. I was going through a really bad phase with my tinnitus last time which had all settled and I finally got my life back on track. Everything was going great and the tinnitus wasn’t bothering me at all! About 3 hours ago I got a sudden ringing...

@Michael Leigh Sorry I meant to say my ent told me it would go

No I'm not taking anything at all. I could barely notice my tinnitus before and really thought I was going up! I'm not doing anything for it my wont told me it would go away

@Michael Leigh im devastated I can't believe this! My life is hell I just want to be ok

I'm so angry! I have struggled with my tinnitus for the last 3 and a half months. Been through everything with it!! About a month ago it started to calm down, I could never hear it anymore and it didn't bother me! I was even going to write a success story. I was getting my life back! Tonight...

@Michael Leigh it's wonderful to hear that hyperacusis is curable! My hyperacusis is constantly coming and going so i have a few hours in the day where it's not there. Does this mean anything or is it you take what you get when it comes to it and no body can tell you for sure? I do these...

@Michael Leigh Thank you so much again!! I really appreciate the advice! If my hyperacusis would just stay where it is it would be fine but I can tell it's getting much worse which is worrying me a lot! High pitch sounds like cutlery are like nails on a chalkboard but I also get a vibration off...

@LadyDi @VRZ78 thank you very much for your advice! I'm very scared about developing bad hyperacusis ! Is there anything I can be doing at home to prevent it getting worse! I don't want to have a bad Christmas

@Michael Leigh last question. I'm very scared this hyperacusis is going to progress and get worse! Does this happen to everyone?

Thanks Michael, That's great :)

Thanks. Is it possible for hyperacusis to be cured completely?? @Michael Leigh

@Michael Leigh really?? could anxiety cause this problem. It's also not ALL of the time. It comes and goes??

Hi I was wondering if i could get some advice please I have tinnitus a year and a couple of months now and it got louder. However, even though the tinnitus isnt that much of a problem for me as it was before, im suffering from bad anxiety from being in such a hyper alert stage for the 2-3...

Thanks for the advice guys. nearly in the third month since my tinnitus increased. Everything was starting to get better until i started to have sensitivity to sound and now i cant stop thinking about it :( also i wrote that i woke up the other night and i could hear the 'car engine outside'...

Is this hyperacusis? I dislike the sounds of bags rustling like plastic, keys jingling and knives and forks??

I've always suffered on and off from anxiety and panic. My tinnitus spiked a month and a half ago which sent me over the top! After a great weekend I finally thought I was getting on top of things until yesterday I felt kind of anxious and found a lot of sounds annoying or loud. I'm terrified...

Ok guys thanks for the advice but to be honest those of you who posted saying it's been like that for 16 years and so on and it's a bummer is only making me feel worse! I'm really down tonight. Maybe this site isn't helping at all ! @Starthrower thanks again I hope it goes down!

@Starthrower thank you so much for your reply! yeah I know when my tinnitus first started I had my normal ring in the right ear and the hissing/electric sounds. over time these all subsided which only left me with the ring. My tinnitus was so mild I kind of forgot about it and eventually started...

Also, when people get spikes, is that when your ear bursts into a ringing for a couple of seconds, is this a spike??? i just developed a new wavering electric sound that i can hear over everything? maybe it was always there it just took a stressful period to make me notice it and then going int...

@Michael Leigh ya i'd say it was exposure to loud sounds. Cinema and Clubs maybe??

I think my 'new' tinnitus may be new damage. It's going from wavering electric static, to ring, to hiss all the time. Should this settle into a ring just like it did when i first got tinnitus??

Has any found that when the anxiety/fear/panic/depression of tinnitus passes, the sound won't be as loud?

@Michael Leigh thank you ! I went to an ent just 2 weeks ago and he said it would go even after having it for a year and 4 months ?? Are you habituated? I feel like my life is over, does it get better?? I habituated before when I first got it but it was so mild I habituated fast. Tinnitus was...

@jimH thank you so much for this it has given me a lot of hope! I have been suffering from bad anxiety and even when the tinnitus went down I was depressed because I was still constantly thinking about it and afraid it would come back and it it ! it's like a high static electrical wavering hiss...

@theekarwash how long did your spike last?

Hi @Michael Leigh no not at all. Se clubs but with ear plugs? Is it always possible for this to go back to baseline? Could it be my anxiety? I don't even know is this a spike ? All I know is I used to have mild tinnitus where I couldn't hear it over the radio and now I can a different noise

My tinnitus spiked about a month and a half ago. I had this really loud hiss and kind of wavering screeching sound. It drove me crazy. It died down into a low level ring after about a month for two weeks and I felt was getting my life back on track. Then I heard it again Monday night, kind of...

Can I get help please. It's 2:30am where I am. About a month and a half ago my tinnitus spiked which made me so anxious, it was a loud hissing noise different from my usual low tone ring and it could barely be masked , after a month I started to lose the fear of the noise and eventually it...

@Megatron thank you very much for your reply I feel this is great news as I was starting to lose hope! I know I just hope by the time a few years pass and I get a few more spikes they will have improved some treatments that may help! it's great that you say you're 100% sure! I'm such an anxious...

@Megatron are you still here on this site? I have come across your post and it has given me hope! I am 20 years old and I had mild tinnitus for 14 months . Last month it spiked and it sent me into a world of anxiety and panic again . It feels like it's louder although it comes and goes . I never...

@Jomo thank you for taking time out to help me, I really appreciate it! What kind of tinnitus do you have and what was it caused by? How long do you have it also?

@Michael Leigh thank you so much, this has helped me a lot! Are you completely habituated to your tinnitus? Should I try ginkgo biloba? Is there a possibility I can go back to my old tinnitus that I didn't hear and I didn't give a crap about! Also this 'new' tinnitus comes and goes. Could this...

@Michael Leigh no I haven't, I haven't listened to music through headphones since I first got tinnitus and as for clubs, I always protected my ears since too? Would I benefit from an anti depressant for awhile as I'm so down about this!

Hi, I have mild tinnitus 15 months now and last month it spiked. Prior to this I was obsessing over going deaf and was very stressed. Is it possible I only think it's spiked cause I'm under severe anxiety over this spike, I feel panicked all the time. I'm starting to become very low I just want...

I am aware that there is no cure! I asked if there is something that could help lower the noise like acupuncture. It's so frustrating that I had mild tinnitus that never bothered me and then decided to vamp up one day. 20 years? They said 10 years max a couple of years back? How can anyone...

Hi, it's been a month since I posted on this forum . I was wondering if someone could offer me some help please as I've posted in a lot of forums and gotten no reply. I'm 20 years old and I am female, I've had tinnitus for just over a year and last month it got louder . This louder tinnitus...

@Richard zurowski thank you for your reply. I know I need to calm I'm just a stressful person anyway and I have read some horror stories on these forums that have really scared me! I know my tinnitus probably isn't the worst out there but I was so used to it after a year and all of a sudden it...

Hi I don't know what to make my own post. I am 20 years old and I have had tinnitus 1 year and 3 months. It was so mild I never heard it over anything at all only at night or in the morning. 1 week ago I noticed it was louder in my left ear where I could hear it over absolutely everything! I...
