@SarahMLFlemmer Haha, but that sucks though.. I hope you'll soon find a way to manage it at its root cause! I don't have much good advice, maybe there's some good older threads on here.

I feel you. Hang on in there. I've been going through this too. Do you also get nauseous from the sound+pain combination sometimes? I was wondering if other people experience this too.

Are you? I've decided to wait for a bit after release. Have not yet seen or read much today. What are your impressions?

Update: the rapid 'ticking' multiple times per second lasted about an hour, after which it started to break up into bigger intervals. Multiple ticks every 5 seconds, every 10 seconds, every minute, every 2 minutes, etc. Faded away completely about 12 hours later.

@Mo8409 I feel you, that sucks. More so with fun activities. Did you have fun meeting celebrities today? Don't know if this is welcome advice and easier said than done, but what helps me on bad days is try to only 'measure' at set moments. I track twice a day, then try to stop the constant 'this...

Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better for you soon! Are you able to get some moments of distraction from T and enjoy your vacation apart from the spike?

That's awful. I feel so sorry for you. Are there any other options to consider or do you fully depend on them for stuff like this?

Hahaha I love the specific topics, interesting!! Sounds like you have a really diverse taste. Is there a specific reason you're getting into Celtic culture? Such a great goal to see the Wicked musical one day!! I'm looking up all the titles you mention and they look really cool. I don't have...

That sounds disappointing. Was there any specific treatment that you were hoping to get? And do you have other major appointments in the coming times?

I love the positive vibes and that you're finding fun in reading again! What is it you're currently reading and what would you look for at the library? Personally I'm a big non-fiction guy: history, biographies, politics, you name it!

Hey, have you already had your appointment? If so, how did it go?

@Tryn2BHopeful Thanks for the tips! I read your comment while laying with ice on my ear. Great minds think alike! :-)

So happy to hear that you were able to enjoy it! This is also one of my disappointments. Just a few weeks before I got tinnitus I even got a new ereader with tons of books. Then it got nearly impossible to read more than a few pages. Gonna give it another try soon inspired by you!

I've been staying at multiple hotels in the past two weeks and this also made me uncomfortable. Always kept earmuffs and plugs within reach and had no issues.

I haven't had an alcohol induced spike myself, but from what I've read from others it will go down again. Hang on in there, stay strong!

Was it continuously low? I sometimes feel like the moment I put on my earmuffs it's quieter, but then it quickly creeps back up again

Do you have any idea what caused your spike?

Interesting, I found the article. Thanks for sharing!

@Mo8409 Absolutely! It was worth it. The lake, the fields, the forest, made me realize I (can) still love life!

Maybe 50% of what I was hearing were my head crickets, but the other 50% were real and close to me! Unfortunately afterwards I also took them back with me, but I guess this was a good learning experience.

Welcome to the crew, please mind your head! I keep knocking into stuff when I become a hammerhead shark due to my Peltors

Happy birthday!!

@just1morething Sure did! It was a lot better my second time today, one ear at a time and longer time for the anesthesia. Did the injections do anything for you?

@Wrfortiscue Thanks! Have tried as much silence (no *loud* noises) as possible. Sick leave since week 0.5 and only left house for medical appts, with earplugs. Dilemma as I don't want to become oversensitive to sound and plugs make T 2x louder, but I'd rather be too careful and give my hair...

@Joe Cuber Thanks! I'm completely baffled that even though I have pretty unmaskable, multitonal, oscillating and 6-8/10 tinnitus, I have been averaging about 7,5 hours of sleep except for the first two hellish weeks (with 3mg melatonin!). I even napped like 3 times last month. Triggers: I seem...
