    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    Nope, not fleeting tinnitus. My spikes are 100% caused by exposure to "loud" environments. I get fleeting tinnitus too, sometimes.

    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    My onset was in June 2020. It took nearly a year for me to have some kind of progress. Anyway it depends on your specific problem: I had a sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the low frequencies, up to 60 dB. I don't know what your problem is but I hope you have the best possible outcome...

    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    I'm here just to update anyone interested that my tinnitus got better. It's still loud, but now it is somewhat "manageable" most of the time. I keep getting bad spikes, usually after I expose myself to "loud" environments, even if "loud" for me is a totally new level of loudness since my...

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    @cruise, thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I'm trying to ignore the sound and live my life but it's so hard. I also have a mild hyperacusis and ear fullness, so for me it's not that easy to distract myself form the condition. I'm doing my best and I hope that time will be my...

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    @Ava Lugo mine doesn't react to every sound. Mostly it reacts to people's voices or with high pitched sounds. Yes, I can sorta have a break from reactivity when I'm with my fan on. But everyday sounds are a shit with my tinnitus and I can't leave my house without hating myself for the rest of...

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    @Bill Bauer my tinnitus is due to SSHL (maybe antibiotics), so I can't say if sounds are making it "spike". Maybe I have a different definition of spike, which has led me to misunderstand most of the content on this forum. My "spikes" are temporarily (hours, days) increments in tinnitus...

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    I'm losing hope: 7 months in and not getting better with my fluctuating, reactive tinnitus. Today I had my hearing loss checked and it has remained constant, even if I feel my tinnitus is getting worse (bad spikes with new horrible sounds). Are there any success stories about people having...

    @weab00 do you think Ebselen will be good for hyperacusis? If yes, why?

    Intratympanic Injection of Steroid for Treatment of Tinnitus

    @Daniel Parker talk to an ENT and see if there's hearing loss. You should not wait for it to calm down (that was my big mistake).

    Tinnitus Masking: In-Ear Maskers

    @Rio80 I have moderate to severe hearing loss in my 250/500 Hz frequencies, then it goes up at 1000 Hz, and from there I have "normal hearing". Do you think they could help me? What is driving me mad are the several brutal spikes I have during the week. I can reach suicidal level of tinnitus...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Just discovered this thread. My tinnitus is just 6 months old. Do you think Trobalt would work for me? Is there anyone here who can still buy it from their country?

    Fluctuating Tinnitus

    @Tinniger I'm actually on a 6/10 and 15 minutes ago it was 8/10. Yesterday night it was 2/10. I'm 28 so I can't retire but I'm quite sure I'm going to lose my job and my life too in the near future.

    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    @billie48 too late for me for steroids, but I tried some drugs one month after the onset and they did anything. My ETD is related to the SNHL or at least that's what my ENT tried to tell me, so I have no escape from this too. I have to deal with 24/7 loud tinnitus and unbelievably loud spikes...

    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    @billie48 sure I do have ETD because I always experience pressure and cracking in my left ear and it's so annoying. I have mild hyperacusis too, which is not that bad with general life noises unless they're loud but it's very much disturbing when I'm in a room with more than 3 people talking. I...

    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    @Sam Bridge I have "good" days too, but bad days are the 80%. I have a low frequency hearing loss which is at 60 dB on 500 Hz, then goes up to normal hearing at 1000 Hz. I'm desperate because I'm experiencing hyperacusis and ETD (cracking, pressure, my own voice in the ear etc.). I don't know if...

    Can Tinnitus Caused by Hearing Loss Get Better Over Time?

    I try to stay positive reading success stories from time to time. They provide me a great help. Habituation, reduction in loudness etc... But I was wondering: has anyone with hearing loss & tinnitus had a "success story"? Can tinnitus caused by hearing loss arrive to a point which is...

    I hope that too. Just now I'm living a hell spike since morning after two weeks of "less" reactiveness. I thought it was going to calm down a bit but then here I am. Can't live forever with this.

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    Do you think FX-322 is going to work for low frequency hearing loss? I read something about this drug but it seems it only arrives in the higher frequency region.

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    Unfortunately I never wake up with silence but I hope your silent days will become much more common than the loud ones. Mine is low frequency, it ranges from 300 Hz to 1000 Hz. But what drives me crazy is how loud it can be sometimes: just like having a fire alarm in my head.

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    Definitely my stress level follows my tinnitus. So I can be suicidal for 2 hours a day and then I feel again like there is hope. It's so depressing. Thanks for your feedback!

    Dramatically Changing Tinnitus — Daily from 1 to 100: How Is This Possible?

    Hi folks, this is my first post here on Tinnitus Talk but it's been a while since I started reading your stories. My tinnitus started in June 2020 in my left ear only, after a bad fever and antibiotics, so I'm almost sure that's the cause. I have a medium hearing loss in the low frequencies...
