Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2006Sudden increase in noise
I've had tinnitus for more years than I can remember. It never bothered me. I am a pretty relaxed guy. Today, I came home and as I was getting out of the car I felt a sudden noise and then my tinnitus became ten times louder in my left ear. Now I can hear it over house noises like the frig, tv, etc. Before, I could only hear it when the house was totally quiet. It sounds the same like before (a tone) but much louder. My wife had a bout with tinnitus recently where her tinnitus (she never had any before) abruptly appeared one day. The docs were kind of useless with her so I won't even bother going in for mine. How common is this "sudden" increase in noise with no external stimuli? Neither she nor I had any encounters with a "loud" source of noise.

It went away within a couple hours. This is reported here fairly often. You'd think, from the seeming randomness of these events that there must be an environmental trigger. Was there a sudden air pressure change? Humidity change? What kind of physiological change can account for it? Were you listening to Rush Limbaugh on your car radio? Al Franken? Heavy metal? Cant count out anything. Next time i'm gonna log everything I can remember leading up to it. Gotta be some clues there somewhere. Absolutely no noise ( I rarely listen to music in the car ). The weather was in the process of getting worse, in fact, it's been steadily raining since yesterday. I was definitely stressed out with family issues. One of the threads mentioned moving my jaw forward to see if it made it louder and it did, so it's probably tension related. It has since subsided but I can't tell if it got better or if I got used to the new noise level (like I said I am a pretty lax guy). CZ > > I've had tinnitus for more years than I can remember.

I wonder if changes in air pressure can make things worse. >> I've had tinnitus for more years than I can remember. It never bothered >> me. I am a pretty relaxed guy.

I wonder if > changes in air pressure can make things worse. Changes in air pressure make my tinnitus worse. It's gotten to where I can predict rain now, as long as it hasn't rained in a long time. Eva Perhaps you are suffering from SADS. This is quite common and depression is quite commonly related to tinnitus. > My T just got worse yesterday.

Could this be related to medication or any difference in diet / drink etc ? might be chemicals in foodstuffs that you're not used to or something Hope it gets better soon Gus Thanks, I am not on any meds. I drink about 24 ounces of Diet Coke/day and about 2 cups of coffee. I've been doing this for 20 years now..... CZ > > I've had tinnitus for more years than I can remember. It never bothered > > me.

I've been trying to figure out a complicated crossword puzzle. As I concentrate on it, I can't hear the T as much -- but the stingy sensation doesn't go away no matter what. Our weather is supposed to change from sunny to cloudy. Maybe that's it. Eva it can be something you eat or drink. that makes mine louder sweets coffee or to much salt . did you have wine that day ? hug your loved ones > I've had tinnitus for more years than I can remember.

How common > is this "sudden" increase in noise with no external stimuli? .......... Common ! You've already had the stimulus and either didn't notice, or forgotten. Could be seconds/minutes/or eternity...who knows. Usually it is only temporary but I have had this happen numerous times in my 20 + years of T. Try Xanax, it helped for me. > I've had tinnitus for more years than I can remember. It never bothered > me. I am a pretty relaxed guy.

Also try drinking distilled water - has no salt. |
