- No clue - too many causes.
All this is redundant and I know there are new members here. Since I'm legally
deaf and wear a cochlear implant (CI) 99% of the time during the day, it's a loud
bother most of the time. I thought my rare ride on my motorcycle(s) yesterday
would be better - has been in the past - I will not wear the implant on it, so buzzing increases.
At night, I tend to try to ignore the fact that the Titanic (robinbird coined that one) is
going to make my head feel like ciadas and T noise fireworks. It doesn't scare me. It does carve out its
usual hellhole and it is a sinking ship in many ways.
Now, I wish I could be optimistic but this is my reality.

My T is loud when I awake but then goes down during the day it's always at its worse in the evening and first thing in the morning.

mine is unpredictable. I might wake up with no problem after even a good night sleep, or wake up because Mr. T is literally screaming.

it's always there, but often (and it's the worst case scenario for me) I wake up in the middle of night with a really bad spike. It never happens during the day. During the day the T is the 'usual' or if I get 'spikes' they are much different and lighter, more like the occasional T i have experienced in past years, the occasional ringing, which only lasted for a few seconds. The nocturnal spike feels much different and violent

Louder but I am still able to go back to sleep. It's also louder in the morning for a few hours before it calms down to baseline.
Not only is it louder, but sometimes the physical sensation of a buzz saw whirring in my head is very strong. One night a few weeks ago it really felt like my brain was being sawed in half. Absolutely freaked me out.
As I wake up, I have the metallic hissing static, and then the tea kettle whistle joins in as soon as I'm completely awake. Idiotic neurons.

T is usually distant from the focal point of my consciousness while I'm laying in quiet. Once in a while I wake up with a severe tone blast on one side or the other, but that only seems to happen when my stress and anxiety levels are not well managed.

I get the loudest spikes when I am asleep. Sometimes I get no spikes, but often I do (while asleep). I started checking my blood pressure when I have these spikes and it's always higher. I never get these same spikes when I am awake
Also, I noticed that the T gets worse (but not the above mentioned spikes) when I go somewhere, suggesting again that the blood pressure increases and the T gets worse.

Well I guess we can look forward to those few minutes a day where we are not totally awake yet. Lol. To be honest, it's kind of what keeps me going, I lay there and feel a bit normal for about 2-5 min before my T gets to unbearable levels again. It's about 20 percent quieter and way less shrill, I could function properly if it changed to that. It would still be loud and shity as hell but at least livable. Everyday I wake up and have this hope that it will stay lower, two years straight of daily let downs now
maybe one day though!noisebox

Mine is always quieter in the morning.
Some nights if I wake gently I find it is silent, so I end up lying listening to the silence. On others if I wake in a vivid dream it's louder, but I know if I go back to sleep it resets it again, I realise I need to complete my sleep to bring it down to its normal morning quiet.

I have variable tinnitus. For me, this means that no two days are the same. It can be: silent, mild, moderate, severe or extremely severe.
