If the bark's a short burst, I guess it depends on the distance, but I would not say it causes any permanent damage.

Hello @Allan1967, did you manage to habituate a second time? I am unfortunately in the same process at the moment.

It was good after but now it happened again! I really hope it goes down again.

Still taking Strattera. It has had no effect on my tinnitus.

Hello all, I have had tinnitus for more than 6 years now and have endured 100+ spikes that always went down. At the beginning of this year my intestines ruptured, and I had to undergo surgery. After 3 weeks in the hospital, I could go home. I had been home just for two days when I had to...

Hey all, I banged my forehead hard a couple of times within a short time. Now I have an extremely bad tinnitus spike. Can hitting your forehead cause hearing damage? I did hear new chip chip sound a couple of times an hour later but that is gone now. Thank you for your advice!! Cheers, Chris

Thank you for your answer :) For how long did you take it? What are you taking now for BP?

Hey all, I have a high pitched spike that started 5 weeks ago, during that time I had a very stressful situation and at the same time I changed my blood pressure medication from Valsartan to Candesartan. I don't know what to do. I am scared the the new medication might be ototoxic and might be...

Mirtezapine 7,5 mg

No been using it for 3 year 7,5 mg for sleep if any it helped me.

Did you get a spike or full on T ? Did it ever settle ? I hears when they remove the obstruction T should go away.

Thank you all for your advice i wont do that again. Now i just need to wait and see if the poking or Anxiety Spike will settle down.

No there was no pain or amything and i would say it was not hard just a little push. But after a few minutes my T spiked and it got really high piched. Matbe the anxiety? I dont know but i cant seem to mask it anymore :( i am so scared that it will stay this way. I hope it will get back to a...

I know but well it happened. I just want to know if I caused damage to the inner ear :(

Hey everyone, I hope you had a good Christmas! I was just wondering if you kind of poke against you eardrum with a q-tip, could this cause damage to the inner ear. I know it is a bad idea but things happen and I poked against the eardrum :( I can't figure out the mechanism, I know sound...

I am trying to... I always though is was so fortunate that after 3 Year my T transformed in to a soft hissing sound in the background. After I did the maneuver everything was ok, when I went to bed the second, I laid down this super high hiss started. Its so high pitched now and it feels like...

I really hope its just the late reaction to the stomacheflu because i am all better in that area. I just hope that i did not damage my ear by doing the valsalva to often... i stop doing it and went to be last night and then suddenly it go so extremely loud :( now i dont know what to so and how...

Thx guys :) I have not been sick for so long i have forgotten what kind of impact this can have on a person’s body.

Hey there, I have had tinnitus for over 4 years now. Last week I got sick with the stomach flu and my tinnitus went through the roof. I am still battling with being sick and I have the bad habit that when tinnitus is so loud I do the valsalva maneuver a couple of times per hour because it...

Hey everyone, I have a question, I am trying out this new Diet ‘’How Not To Die’’ This Diet includes a lot of vegetables and spices and all of them are high in Salicylates. I have had tinnitus now for 4 years and I noticed that if I do not eat certain foods my tinnitus becomes so low that it...

Sorry for the late update. I went really well for months only a low hiss in the background. I decided to go Whole Food Pland Based and after only eating like this for a week its back screaming. I do have some stress but I sure of its that with me its not only stress but the food I consume. I...

Thx guys for your input:) I will try salt first and then dairy! My tinnitus on the left was caused by barotrauma and the one in the left by a slap on the ear.

I fasted for 5 days, only water nothing else, I have done this before and this time I had the same result. First my tinnitus increases a bit but then on the 5 day or so it decreased and stayed that way. This was amazing! Today was the first day that I wanted to stop fasting and continue with...

Well not super hard it's just that if you press hard and you let go you can hear some suction and a plop noise I was just wondering if this pressure difference can cause any damage :D

Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you ever spoke to an doctor about pressing on the Tragus? Do you think that if you press firmly on the Tragus to block out sound and then release quickly the pressure difference can cause damage to the ear ? I was just wondering because I feel a...

Yeah fabrikat I guess you are right I think I must have had a nightmare mare or something because I did not intend to do so, it was also the first time very strange. Yes I guess you are right too its just when you get these spikes you get so scared that they are permanent. Did any of you ever...

Hey guys, Last night in my sleep I punched myself on the ear while I was sleeping... Don't ask me how I managed to do that... That made me very anxious and I started testing if the punch was hard enough to cause damage, after a while I managed to go back to sleep. When I woke up my tinnitus...

I was one of the test subjects, first they gave me the test version where they did not know if it was the real medicine or placebo. Later on after the trial I received the real drug, sadly it did not work on me... but maybe it will work on one of you.

I don’t know if some of you can relate to this. But my tinnitus was really manageable over the last couple of months. Last weekend I had a Panic Attack and it felt like it was never going to end. But then it did pewww :) During the 2 Panic Days I thought this is going to send my tinnitus...

Yeah i guess so XD but i am a big Guy and they only come in 5 mg here so i started taking 2 but i read somewhere that Melantonin is good for T so way not :)

I took part in the doubleid trials here in Germany. First I did not know if i was getting the real medication or the placebo. After the trials ended my ENT could not tell me if what I got the medication or not but she did offen me to get another injection with the medication. Just to sahre my...

Hey there, I was just wondering if any of you gave Strattera another chance ? And how it affected your T? I just started at 10mg. T seems a bit louder but i guess that is becausei pay extra attention now ;) Cheers, Chris

Are you sure i am really trying i did 12.000 kcal in the gym every week for 3 weeks and eat 2000 a day but still i only lose 200 g. :(

Hey guys, I have a problem! I have been on Mirt for 1 year now and it really helped me! Feel great T lower but the weight gain is really a problem for me. Now the doc wants me to try Amitriptyline. I tried it for one night and it made me fell panic and i could not sleep. Thus i guess resulting...

Well the first time i took it it made my T louder too. But then again that question is did the medication make your T louder or was it your fear that the medication could make your T louder. I my case it was fear after a couple of good nights it improved. Start with 7.5 mg and then see what...

yeah had the same problem for me it reduced T back on it now but lower doses I hope it goes back to the way it was before stopping :)

Well for me its the same my Tinnitus was getting better right around the time I started Mirt. I have been taking it for 1 year now and decided to stop 2 weeks ago the see if i could lose weight more easily without them. I went from 15 mg to 0 mg and the next 3 days where horrible and my T got...

Hey everyone, I am always searching through the whole forum to find information about ADs or other medications that helped people or not. Seeing that it's a drag searching throug all the posts, I would like to invite everyone that wants to share their experiences to write a little segment...

Yeah maybe its seems louder because of the low mood.. because thing turd to a good side around the same time i started the drug makes me think.

Hmm I'm just curious because the same time I started Mirtazapine it got better to the point I would sometimes not hear it. Now on day 3 off Mirtazapine and my T is way up. Not sure if it's that or the bad food here at the hospital :)

Hey guys, I have a question to those of you who have been or currently are on this drug. 1. Did anyone get a feeling it made their tinnitus better? 2. Is here anyone who stopped taking the drug and if so did you notice an increase in tinnitus or did it stay the same? I am currently stopping...

Yeah I am on 15 mg for sleep wich is fine went to 30 mg to test but that did not suit me. So I am back on 15 mg.

I think this is really something. I will try and asked to try this medication when I go to the Clinic for 6 weeks. I did do TRT but in the end everything I learned there I read beforehand on TT it was just explained to me a little better. What helped me in the end was to quit my job relaxed...

Thank you for all your replies. It's good to see that most people have some sort of positive effect. I have a big headache and my tinnitus is way up after being on 30 mg for 6 days. I hope it goes down again after sometime. I still feel weird in my head. I guess ADs are just not for me. I had...

Hey everyone, I have a questions to those of you who tried Mirtazapine (Remeron) or is currently on it. I started using 15 mg almost a year ago. After a while alongside with healthy diet and exercise my tinnitus drastically reduced to a start where I sometime where standing in the kitchen and...

Just wondering is Retigabine something that should be tried in the first few months or does it also work if you are 2 years in ?

Thank you for your tips and replys :) The -15 db are specialy made by an doctor so if i understand is that apps mesure less then the actual db or more ? @Ferret By NAC you mean the amino acid suplament ? Yeah i will just put in 32db next time for the rest i just need to do my diet again last...

Hey guys, I am a bit worried about my trip to a party last night. I got my musician ear plugs last week and I thought i give them a try. I went to the party and mesured the db with my phone its was 106 db. My plugs are - 15db so i should come down to 91 db. Afterwards my T spiked and i looked...

Hey yeah this is my question aswell how does someone say this is a sike and i like to know in what shapes and sizes they come. For me it has been only volume based but now its seems that the noise itsself chages and i dont know if this is somethings that happen with people who consider...

Hey guys, I have a question about spikes. I have had Tinnitus for over 2 years now and i have to say that after taking good care of myself it got much better and i think you can call this the road to getting habituated. But right now i did not take such good care of myself and i have what...

Thank you for you replys! I try to relaxe as much as possible. I did start remeron last night lets see if that will help. Cheers and have a good weekend! Chris
