Does overstimulation has any effects on the loudness of tinnitus? Since day one of my injury, I suspect that whenever I walk a bit more or have more screen time, my tinnitus is not immediately affected but is louder when I wake up in the middle of night and somewhat louder the next day. I am not too sure this is happening though and it may just be another bad tinnitus day and not because of over stimulation. Any similar experiences? Has it gotten any better for anyone?

Driving used to make mine worse, but these days it doesn't appear to have any effect. Sometimes I wake up in the morning with loud tinnitus other days it's soft, I can't really pin it down to anything. Yesterday I went to lay down after lunch and nearly fell asleep, that caused my tinnitus to spike, not what I expected. Mine's not so loud in the night any more and not as loud as it was generally. I'm still of the opinion that when my sleep gets better my tinnitus will get better too. PS I'm just over 6 months with PCS.

And about tinnitus, I try to avoid those power naps in the afternoon because they almost always for some reason make my tinnitus louder, even after a 10 minute nap it gets louder. |

I wonder if you also have problems with your adrenals because this can also cause tinnitus. I have it myself and whenever they get weaker it gets louder.

Yes, I'm going to avoid power naps too! Do you do neck exercises or massage I wonder if that might help you. To get my tinnitus down I relax in a chair use my MP3 player and headphones gradually reducing the volume, seems to help.
@adrenalfatigue81 I've heard that raised cortisol levels can cause tinnitus so there could be a link, that might explain sleep issues too. Do you think it could be exhausted adrenals? I was living in a heightened state of anxiety for a few months. |

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

Thanks Mark, its from a song called Hear Me Now from Hollywood Undead. Excellent band, I miss listening to them.
So this past week Ive been extremely sick. Kidney issues from my prolonged over use of OTC meds because my neuro is a tard. Anywho this has been the worst week for tinnitus ive had. No matter what its there. Today im feeling slightly better (midsection swelling has gone down slighlty, no vomitting, no cough, no fluid buildup in lungs, still a slight fever but at least I can hold down food n water) and the tinittus has eased up a bit.
