Hi all.
I have been struggling with an increase in Transient Ear Noise, or Sudden Brief Unilateral Tapering Tinnitus (SBUTT) on top of my existing tinnitus. I have had chronic 24/7 tinnitus for nearly 3.5 months, and my understanding is that chronic tinnitus individuals tend to have more instances of this phenomenon (basically all noise disappears and is slowly drowned out by a shrill high-pitched ringing, akin to a flashbang, then recovers within 10-20 seconds.)
Everything I read online says SBUTT is benign. That even those without chronic tinnitus get them.
However, they get them maybe once a month. One resource said chronic tinnitus sufferers get them "twice as often." I've experienced it roughly 11-12 x in each ear (separately) this week so far. Has anyone experienced a sudden increase in this phenomenon, and has it led to a worsening of other tinnitus/health symptoms?
Scared,
Mike
