I can mask the sound but the pain makes it really difficult in my ears. Do you think this is going to be permanent?

Top Gun 2 was in July 2022 and the festival was in August 2022. And the last loud event I went to was in January 2023, and there was no increase in tinnitus pitch or ear pain. The one time I used headphones I get an increase in the tone, distortion, alongside the burning ear pain. I believe that...

I take the bus everyday to school using public transport so that could be a factor. I've also been to a couple of restaurants in the past month. None of them have been too loud except one with screaming kids. Could that have been the cause? That was on June 29th. My tinnitus was still fine until...

Everyone, I'm so sorry. Everything was pretty good with life and then I brought it back to hell. Without using headphones for 2 years, I wanted to see how things were. So I put on my headphones at low volume for a single minute. After that I started to experience ear discomfort and fullness...

But can a spike be this significant from only a low level of audio via headphones for a single minute?

Hey @fishbone, I know that you have experience so I would appreciate your opinion. After 2 years of mild tinnitus and not using headphones, I checked out a pair for a single minute at low volume. After that my tinnitus has spiked and I'm having pain in the ear... I'm a little scared. I would...

I'm truly scared everyone. I got tinnitus in May 2021 and I have not used headphones since. My dad got me a pair of headphones to use as a gift, though I never intended to use them. Yesterday, I just wanted to check out if they worked and listened at a low volume for 1 minute. NOW my...

Hey everyone, I was eating dinner using a fork and knife and I scraped the plate and it made a big screech sound next to my right ear. Now my right ear feels full and I'm terrified that my tinnitus gets worse and the ear pain won't go away. I'm so scared and regret using a fork and knife...

The spike has gone down a bit but it is still noticeably different. The trauma that caused the spike was a high pitched scream. It hasn't been 2 weeks yet but I'm losing the hope that this spike is temporary. Most spikes that I had before lasted a week maximum, but this is persisting close to 2...

Even though the spike has gone down a bit, I have a hissing sound within both of the ears. Will that go away in time? It's only been a week since the exposure.

Thank you for the kind words and information Michael. For the past couple of days I haven't been sleeping well, but I have hope that this spike won't be permanent. The main things driving me are that I wasn't using headphones and the fact that it hasn't been a week since the exposure. Wishing...

Hey everyone, nice to meet you all. I originally got tinnitus in May 2021 from loud music and sounds using headphones. After that experience, I never used headphones again. From May 2021, my tinnitus has been stable for the most part with no major spikes that last multiple days, weeks or months...
