Sudden bursts of Tinnitus

[RVP]

My tinnitus started with a sudden loud burst of ringing for about 5 seconds in either ear, then one day it happened and didn't stop :P nearly 2 months on and it's still going.
I still get burts of loud tinnitus in my ears, is that meaning my tinnitus is getting worse? or is it going to get louder? not sure :(
if anyone has tinnitus could they explain how it works please.

Tinnitus is common after cold is what iv been told x

Years ago I had tinnitus, but it was like the sound of a lorry with the engine on.
I had it mainly at night when trying to get to sleep. I was very stressed at that time.I went to see GP and he gave me some tablets. It went.
I think maybe they treat it differently now. i don't know!!

Hi there, I get the exact same symptoms as you often accompanied by slight dizziness. I have found the cause to be a slight dip in blood pressure. Very common in females. Ringing ears are common with low bp. It won't do you any harm and I think an MRI is unnecessary. Just a sign of slightly reduced blood flow to ears. Good luck!

Hiya,

I was worried about the EXACT same thing for a while. I was constantly thinking "wtf? this ringing isn't normal" I know that googling isn't the best thing to do but in this situation it actually helped me. I learnt that anxiety is one of the main causes of tinnitus. It's a vicious cycle. My anxiety would cause the tinnitus and then I'd get more anxious because I had tinnitus :/

I have tinnitus too. It started a month ago or more. It has got less now but I can have different tones and frequencies, and I do get the high pitched burst too, and got less as well. I got worried about this and I found out that I have hard wax deep inside my ears. I was fine before all of this happened and the vibrations started as well with the tinnitus... not nice feeling.

I get like a flatline noise in my ear, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet but I can still hear? Anybody else?

I've suffered with tinnitus for years...it never completely goes and i've had it for about 10 years!! Some days i can hardly hear it. Some days its loud n i have to distract myself or it would drive me mad. Usually its a low-level buzzing but now and again i'll get a high pitched whining for a few minutes.

Over the years i've noticed it is worse with stress and also if i have a cold
