Trying to Stay Calm — Tinnitus Got Louder an Hour Ago — Possibly Because of Using a Stethoscope?

[Kain]

My tinnitus seem to have gotten louder than normal an hour ago in my left ear and I'm trying my best to stay calm, as I know anxiety can worsen it.

My only pointer at this cause is using a stethoscope yesterday at the pulmonologist.

He wanted me to use it so I can hear my lung expanding. I was hesitant to use it but did anyways.

I've taken NAC yesterday as well as today and magnesium. I just honestly don't know what to do.

Welcome to the retarded dark age of medicine.

A stethoscope is hardly loud enough to cause a spike, maybe you ate something?

Yes this can happen with things like that. But it is temporary @Kain. Give it a few days to calm down.

Sometimes salty foods or even caffeine can cause a spike. Hope you get better.

You have been awfully bored the last few days.

Stethoscope is not even close to sounds of traffic. You are going to be good my man.

Yeah. Try last few months.

thought i'd give an update: can't really go back to sleep at the moment, it seems to have calmed down a bit and there's a tone that fluctuates. i'm sure some will say it should improve and that i'm worrying too much over it, which is correct, but honestly the fear lingers i still have a lifetime to go and i don't want to suffer too much

Hope are you feeling today? Hopefully better

I'm okay i guess, my T's a bit more noticeable than usual. I still feel a bit anxious and I'm still pretty tired.

i'm not doing so well emotionally

Join the crusade. I'm trying to convince this forum to wise up and push for accelerated development of advanced regenerative medice.
