Does Your Tinnitus Change While Sleeping?

Agree, except when you're in loud environments and it keeps increasing to be the loudest thing you hear. I'm working at home today so it's settling down nicely. Now a few beers in the evening should settle me nicely

Beer helps somatic tinnitus? I really need to start drinking

Mine does, it becomes more noticeable when I lie down. I got mine after a silent reflux episode that stemmed from taking PPIs + antibitotics combo to get rid of H Pylori which had caused ulcers. I got mine only when sleeping and also now my T increases when my reflux does and both mostly while sleeping as well.

I had some weird gut problems and then _extreme_ acid in my mouth to the point of it eroding the roof of my mouth overnight at the onset of my tinnitus.. Really unusual for me to get any kind of reflux. I had a constant tone in my left ear for most of the time since I got tinnitus.. But the Somatic part is by far the loudest. however the last few days the tone is turning into typewriter/morse code tinnitus and that is getting louder by the day. I couldn't hear it without blocking my ears yesterday but now I can hear it out of my ear.. It's probably louder on the peaks the the original tone I had but it's not a constant tone.. I don't know it this is a good or bad thing.. The constant tone is gone though, it's been replaced with this morse code.

I've been thinking about a Guinness for a few weeks already :0. I don't drink.. but when I do that's what I want

Since experiencing another acoustic trauma at the end of July (long story, but there was nothing I could have done to prevent it), sleep has either calmed my tinnitus or made it worse. At the moment, my tinnitus seems very unstable, but I hope it will eventually settle down.
