Tinnitus Getting Worse for No Reason

[Luke Witter]

i have had it since i was 15, i think it was due too loud music but that has not yet been confirmed, but these past few months it has gotten alot worse for no reason at all and it's starting too get too much, does anyone know why it gets worse all by it's self?

have you exposed your ears carelessly to a lot of loud noise over the past 5 years, taken any ototoxic medications or suffered from huge amounts of stress?
These mostly fire up one's T unfortunately.

Sebastian hit the nail on the head with all those , I found that stress caused me major tinnitus spikes.

I have to sadly deal with hyperacusis from a siren that went off 2 months back... So even if it has gotten worse always remember we are all in the same boat here , u are not on ur own dealing with this crap..

and who knows one day it will get better when you get used to it , that's only if it won't get better to which I'm sure it will

Welcome to the forum. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate T. Drug side effect and stress/anxiety are to common reasons. There are others like acoustic trauma, TMJ, sinus blockage, having cold, neck problem, muscle tension, ear infection, meniere's, barotrauma, eating the wrong stuffs, such as too much salt, sugar, caffeine, MSG, etc.Even too much grief can cause T. Hope you feel better. Take care. God bless.
