That happens to me lately with this ongoing spike, exactly like you said. Sadly I have to resort to Melatonin and Lorazepam as a last resort to get back to sleep because it's so loud sometimes. The doctor gave me a Trazodone prescription which I'm going to try next. I'm hoping and praying...

I am going through a similar experience with waking up with loud tinnitus. Mine was mild for 7 years then out of the blue it got worse. I went through COVID-19 in January, I'm not sure if that caused this new flare up. Mine is also loud during the day often.

I don't experience super quiet days quite like I did before that incident, I'm so sorry to say. But I seem to still be adjusting fairly well most of the time. But I'm very afraid of loud noises and places and it causes relationship problems at times.

Hi Sean, I just experienced a spike from one of those high pressure hoses at a commercial car wash. So you're not alone with the spike issues. And you might remember my tire explosion last fall too. That seemed to make a permanent change that I've never fully recovered from. I'm coping fine...

Mine fluctuates daily from 5 to 7, the past few days it's been spiking to 7 a large portion of the day. I had 3 and 4 days before a bike tire explosion about a month ago. A recent head cold has seemed to aggravate it. I don't intentionally mask any more, and often can hear it over the noise of...

Hi there, from a fellow Denverite. I hope your tinnitus gets more benign. Mine was doing much better until I was pumping my bike tire and it exploded in my ears. Sorry to bother you, it was just cool to see somebody from Denver on here.

Hi Bart, I think you should be ok. If it will make you feel better, I was having one of my best days ever, T was hardly noticeable when, like a fool, I wasn't wearing ear protection and my bicycle tire exploded less than two feet way from my head while I was pumping air into it. My tinnitus...

It has subsided a little bit but I ofcourse still get my good and bad days, just subsided. I'm glad you are doing better.

Hi Lynn, I had a high pressure bicycle tire explode less than two feet from my ears about 10 days ago, my T was almost silent that day prior to the explosion, immediately the volume went up many decibels. The verdict is still out if my T is permanently worse now, but it definitely set me back...

acetyl- 1-carnitine is what I meant

Update: The spike hasn't subsided, instead the volume increased, especially yesterday. I'm hoping some of this is stress/anxiety related. I tried to get in to see my Kaiser ENT but they wouldn't schedule me immediately, I went today and they are next to useless. I'm taking the NAC acetyl...

I, too have a history of anxiety and panic attacks before T, then after my concussion induced T began I experienced panic and anxiety that was literally killing me, my doctor said on a scale of 1 to 10, I was a 10 on the anxiety chart. I was on benzos and other meds until I was able to get...

It did a bit but my T is so up and down from one day to the next it's hard to say. It does seem more reactive to external noises now and I'm having a loud morning right now so I'm not sure. Thanks for checking on me.

Thanks Sean, I appreciate that very much and I will keep you posted here. It's especially frustrating because I was having one of my best T days since onset, then this happens!

Thank you all for your support. So Markku, that would even apply to someone with existing permanent tinnitus? Thanks Maria, yea this was as loud or louder than a firecracker, so I'm hoping I react the same as you.

I was pumping my bike and the tube popped and exploded in my ear, now I have a major spike in noise. Is it permanent? Please give me advice if anyone had experienced anything like this.

Dani, there are days that the loudness has definitely decreased, then there are days like today that it seems to be just like it was back in the beginning. It's so weird how it fluctuates, I kind of envy the people that have the same constant tone and volume every day.

I did, in, September 2013, crashed with another bike, hit the ground and was knocked unconscious for over 10 minutes. My tinnitus didn't start until a week later and hasn't stopped since. The first few months were a nightmare adjusting to the loud ringing, anxiety medication, panic attacks...

That's great David, I live in Colorado, so maybe I need to go into the mountains, I live in Denver. How does she rate her T otherwise? Is it usually constant with volume spikes fairly regularly?

Hi Karl, I was just wondering if that spike in May has subsided at all yet?

Yes, very true, there are blessings to gain even with tinnitus, as strange as that sounds (pardon the pun). Thanks dietary tip, I'll make sure I'm getting the proper nutrition, I've been neglecting that a bit lately.

Hi Martin, yeah, the pitch goes higher when I bite down, no change when I yawn. The left ear is usually louder, but the sound moves around or is in the center of my brain. Thank you and Asian for the encouragement and concern, I hope things continue to get better for you guys as well.

The MRI came back normal as far as the concussion goes. I've had blurred vision, dizziness, and headaches in the first few months, also stiff neck and loss of mobility. Most of those symptoms have subsided a bunch. I wish I knew if it's ears or brain damage. No meds for the concussion but I...

I also have concussion induced tinnitus, a bicycle accident, head on collision with another rider then fell face first and fractured facial bones. My T started about a week later, I was taking Vicodin with ibuprofen, that may have had an ototoxic effect. I am going on 10 months since onset and...

Mine started a few days after my concussion and whiplash. I was taking Vicodin prescribed for the pain of the accident and it the T just began one morning and never stopped.

You will probably also find that tinnitus is so relative to other things going on in your life. I know it's hard to believe right now, but there are worse things in life than tinnitus, but like so many comments have noted, it is all perception, it can almost be used as a built in barometer for...

I have experienced the raging T after a nap phenomenon on quite a few occasions. And also the variation of how loud it is after a full night's sleep, from firing away full throttle to waking up with almost a miraculous feeling of very low volume Tinnitus, it seems like I smile alot more on...

That happens to me alot. I can't say every day but I would say more often than not it does get considerably louder in the later afternoon and evening hours. Weirdly, there are times then it will settle down later in the evening but very unpredictable most of the time.

Thanks again for your concern, you are an angel. I hope things get better for you too.

This is what I was prescribed for pain after my accident....OBJECTIVE: Acetaminophen/hydrocodone, a commonly used analgesic preparation, has been linked to rapidly progressing sensorineural hearing loss in human patients. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the ototoxic effects of...

What kind of doctor does TMJ treatments? I was told by a specialized dentist all they could do was sell me a $2000 apparatus to wear over my bottom teeth at night for the rest of my life.

Thank you very much. I will do some follow-up then. And yes in the emergency room they did the MRI's and CT scans of my head and neck.

My tinnitus began shortly after a serious concussion. Another member told me that concussion induced tinnitus is more complicated. Can you shed any light on that matter if you have any information in that area as it relates to tinnitus.

Thank you so much for replying to my introduction. I will follow up on your advice. Can you explain a little when you say the outlook is more complicated if the cause is concussion related?

I got full blown tinnitus in September 2013, so for 3 months now. It began with a bicycle accident and concussion and whiplash and fractured facial bones. I have been a lurker and not a member for some time now and it worries me that I don't see anyone in my category of causation. My tinnitus...
