Hello Bob1234, how are you doing? Did you ever got T spikes before? I had mine two days ago and I did not know what caused the spike as I stopped listening to any loud noises. Wondering, if you had any spikes and how long it took to subsidies

You can learn not to hear the ringing in your ears at all. I went from stage 3 to silence. Although formally the noise remained the same. I just don't notice it. Coming soon in "Success Stories"

I never got the point where I wouldn't hear, only to where I didn't care about it. But since it's been variable for the past couple of years, I haven't been able to get back to that previous point. It demands attention when it's all over the place.

Dude, I didn't understand how it happened. I just had other health problems and I didn't think (or hardly thought) about tinnitus for a few days. When I decided to listen to it again, I realized that I can only hear it if I specifically concentrate on it. How it works, I don't know. My brain completely filters it out.
kingsfan
When my other health issues flair up, they also distract me from the tinnitus. I hope I can find the right trigger to unlock the potential for my brain to permanently not concentrate on it.
Head Tone
Day 15 of Lenire treatments. 8 kHz T levels mostly unchanged 2L and 5R. Was told this can take 12 weeks to hear improvement.

This is not advice, just my personal experience: going part-time at work was the best decision. With tinnitus, there is no "Powering through". Not possible. Full time no longer an option. Not a loss I grieve, I have to obey my limitations. This feels right for me. Not saying it's right for anyone else but my personal story.

I'm glad you are taking control of what you can control. Its tough working a full time job while juggling this nasty problem. Kinda wish I had that option. Best of luck.

I'm sure you've read all my posts. I am unsure how to move forward.

Should I open up all my vents even if my reactivity is crazy?I tried opening my window a little bit to let ambient noise in, it helped but then my tinnitus went weird. I feel scared because I cannot even open my window in my condition. Is there still hope for me?
MindOverMatter
There is always hope @teayom , even when everything feels hopeless. New neural pathways can and will appear in your brain with time, and things will start to ease up.

Does your tinnitus worsen with autumn and cold dark season? Mine seems to do
kingsfan
I think mine tends to do better, because in the midwest, cold season means no mowers and motorcycles, less sportscars and less people tend to be out in general it seems.

But, damn, I miss the desert, beach, and mountains 😢
SharonBell
Juliane yes my tinnitus gets worse with this cooler weather and will get even worse when's it gets cold here.

Still experiencing a gradual reduction of tinnitus spikes after using oral minoxidil for almost 5 months. They now happen less often than before and they are never severe like they used to be. The spikes usually go away by the end of the day as well which used to rarely to happen. I think this is actually working.
kingsfan
I'm about to start finasteride. Been too nervous about side effects, both tinnitus and other, so have been staring at the bottle for about 3 months.

6mo update: Same as last month
Katarinacl
Just adding on—I haven't had any noticeable spikes over the last month. It may be more accurate to say 2/10 - 5/10 volume hissing now.

I was using my headphones on a 3% volume for the last 11 months, hearing 92% is very weird and scary lmao. I hope no perma damage was done
_Shoto_
I accidentally turned on my headphones to 92% when I was gaming. To my surprise it wasn't painful at all, but I know that even 1 sec is enough to cause permanent damage :(
orenge01
Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. I was making music, accidentally put my headphones on as they were at 100% volume, it caused a spike as it was right on a build up of the song with white noise building up in volume with a lot of high frequencies. Not fun. I think it caused perma damage for me as some songs sound different than before to me. I hope no damage happened to you though :/ I wish you the best!
orenge01
no pain anymore it was probably something else causing that, but the ringing still persists in my left ear. Very loud. :/

So here we go again. Looks like my lows dropped again. Waiting on my ENT. Why can't life stay consistent. Obstacle after obstacle! It really does stink getting older!

Has anyone with Hyperacusis undergone Ultrasound tests ? Did it make your H worse ?
kingsfan
What kind of ultrasound tests? I've had many bladder and kidney ultrasounds. Those were completely silent.
Heal82
It would have been oral ultrasound. However, for now they have requested CTA oral maxillofacial along with CTA of head and neck (with and without contrast)

I gave up digital audio a month ago and started protecting at the first sign of a setback and I've made very minimal progress.
weehiru
I hope you start seeing progress soon mate :)
orenge01
Thats good. Personally I can not live without digital audio. At pretty low volumes though. And mostly speakers only, headphones sometimes... Dunno if that is bad or not but that's what I do.
Kraazy
So I've been registered on TT for almost 7 years and I've had tinnitus and hyperacusis for ten years. I never thought I would come back here because of my new hearing loss (sound distortions/dysacusis)
Almost two months since this phenomenon appeared, it's hard. :(
orenge01
That's completely understandable. It would be nice if it just one day went away and hearing was restored completely back to normal. One can only dream. I think It's just the fact that you have to readapt at every next possible setback, so that gets really tiresome since it's a cumulative condition, and extremely unpredictable too...

I hope we can all get a cure/true permanent relief one day sooner than later.
