Hello Everybody,
I have been reading this forum for a month and I never thought I'd actually post on here but it has gotten so scary for me that I decided I needed to reach out and maybe hear so advice.
Basically, I have spent a lot of years listening to loud music. I basically don't listen to loud music in headphones, But when I drive I blast music. I also sometimes go clubbing. In the last year I went climbing a lot and drove a lot. In October 2018, I went to a club with some friends and two days later maybe three days later I started hearing noise. I told myself I wouldn't go clubbing anymore and I even spoke to some audiologists and they told me it's OK to keep going clubbing if I wear my earplugs which I've been wearing for a while. I stopped going out though since I thought they were stupid. But in the end some events led to me going clubbing and driving with loud music anyway. Very stupid.
I now have a problem that I'm not reading anywhere on the internet or on this site... basically it goes like this...
I'm at a point where soft sounds are raising my baseline. I ended up taking Klonopin and it reduced a lot of the noise, but there was a second set of noise and I had a phone call for an hour and ten minutes and that raised my tinnitus. I'm trying to figure out why soft sounds are raising my baseline. Everyone says that only loud noises raise the baseline but for me that doesn't seem true. Over the last month extended soft sounds have raised my baseline. Even before that, soft sounds like a low tv would make my ears ring, but eventually it came to the point where talking to someone for too long would raise the baseline. Is this noise induced or do I have some other problem? There's more to the story but it's hard for me to type but that is the basics...
Started getting very loud from soft noise. Klonopin helped keep it low. Had a conversation on the phone for too long. Now the second layer that the Klonopin isn't keeping at a low volume is getting louder at the baseline.
Anyone have any idea as to what is going on?
I'm not sure if I have hyperacusis because sounds don't hurt my ears but some sounds annoy my ears. And as the baseline gets louder those sounds start to get more annoying.
I also feel like I'm hearing softer sounds louder. Like people who are far away are starting to sound closer I think.
Anyway, maybe I have another problem that isn't just because of noise induced but I'm really not sure.
I'm very scared because it keeps getting louder and now even the Klonopin can't keep it low...
If I can I'll write more of my story but I can't use my laptop because the trackpad disturbs my ears and makes tinnitus louder so I have to type on my phone and I've hurt my wrists from using the phone so much in the last month.
Thank you so much.
