I experience SBUTT (Sudden Brief Unilateral Tapering Tinnitus) triggered by tiny noises, along with reactive tinnitus.
This happens in many situations. It is a daily occurrence. Here are three examples:
This happens in many situations. It is a daily occurrence. Here are three examples:
- Nighttime Sounds: If I am sleeping in my room with the window open, a distant dog barking, possibly a mile away and under 30 dB, or an ambulance siren far off can trigger an SBUTT.
- Motorcycle Rides: While wearing 32 dB earplugs on my motorcycle, the roar of a very loud Harley passing by can also trigger an SBUTT.
- Post Gym Routine: At the gym, I use 20 dB Etymotic earplugs. After my workout, if I step outside, remove the plugs, and turn on the tap water to wash my hands, the sudden sound often causes an SBUTT.
