Hey Guys, have you might notice.
i've been around this forum for 6 months already...
since my Onset (February)
i Must admit that my tinnitus has been mostly Mild all this time. ( i had t only in my left ear)
with a few spikes, ive been able to see that sugar, salt and MSG spike my T.
so ive been able to avoid them and have days with almost non existence tinnitus.
best days have been when i have a 0.5 out of ten in volumen.
and those days when it has spike have been a solid 6 (at its worst)
Sound is mostly a pure tone i can perceive when covering my ears, and sometimes a hissing.
those day where from some reasons its louder have been no longer a problem since i have habituated.
and sleeping have not been a problem.
this week marks my 6 months in.
and im afraid things might get worse (just when i thought they were getting better)
for the past week... t has been very present, like a hissing but louder lets say a solid 5.
there is no apparent trigger for the spike, the only i can think of is that might be i have wake up during my sleep for a few days, (due to possible sleep apnea)
yesterday my good ear suddenly behave very weird, suddenly i lost some audition or got block... and then a low pitched sound appeared, then after a few seconds it went away and audition came back.
but i think i can perceive tinnitus now in my good ear too (wich doesnt make any sense since i have taken care of my ears since onset and i have avoid loud places) i even avoid going out much and when i do, i only go to the mall, to the park or quiet restaurants.
also have some degree of sensitivity to sounds, and i didnt have this a few days ago.
So... i dont know why it feels like after 6 months of improvement...things are getting difficult this week.
inn your experience...
is this normal? is just tinnitus acting up? is it getting worse just because?
i know its hard to answer but it would be lovely if someone had a similar experience and now is doing better.
thanks
