Need Help ASAP — Tinnitus Got Worse After All-Night Graduation Party

[Abe]

I am 17 and have had very mild tinnitus for a while.

On Friday was my graduation and we had my all night grad party and it was pretty noisy for the past 4 days or so.

My tinnitus has gotten real bad at night when I try to put my head on my pillow it's really loud and prevents me from sleeping when I'm walking around or outside it seems to not be there but at night like right now its just driving me insane I'm not sure if it's related to the party or not...

Is my tinnitus going to be like this forever now? Or will it get better?

Hi Abe,
Congratulations on your graduation and welcome to Tinnitus Talk.
It should calm down over the next few days.
Make sure you wear noise reduction plugs from now on when around extra loud music as your ears are letting you know that are not happy around loud music as left un protected could lead to permanant ringing.....lots of love glynis

So would this just be called a T spike?

 

[glynis]

Hi Abe,
Yes it's called a T spike.
They can last hours or minutes or days and should settle back to your base sound..lots of love glynis

Can earwax cause a spike? After my ears got blocked by wax (doctor said it was impacted wax) my T has gotten louder. There's a good chance the wax is the cause, but can it be serious enough for a spike to happen?

Hi @Hariz Nonis
Wax is a common problem for a tinnitus spike.
Keep putting olive oil drops in your ears from the chemist once or twice a week to keep wax away.
If you get your ears cleaned out make sure you use drops for at least a week to ten days before having the procedure done.....lots of love glynis

My T didnt come from hearing loss so that must mean theres a better chance of it getting better right?

 

[Hariz Nonis]

@Abe yes it should. Just protect your hearing. But don't overdo it. I heard overprotecting your ears can cause H.

@glynis how do I let the olive oil drain out? Or will it drain out on its own?

 

[glynis]

It will drain out on its own .....lots of love glynis

Unfortunately you have no way of knowing for sure at this time.
