Of all the stories I have heard and from my own experience, if tinnitus does disappear, it tends to happen when they wake up from sleep and find that it is gone. In my case it tends to be quieter after i wake up even if during the day it does not change no matter what I do.
Why does it tend to happen after waking up?
Is this just an illusion or a false alarm?
But also my hyperacusis tends to be worse after waking up. Again why is this?

I couldn't confirm that the tinnitus tends to disappear in the morning. On the contrary, for me (and many others) it usually has been worse in the morning. But it can obviously be different form person to person, depending on the daily cycle of nervous activity (which in turn is controlled by the hormonal cycle).
What I could confirm is that tinnitus often appears to start at night, which is probably either because the absence of other sounds triggers the tinnitus, or maybe even because people just notice it first at quieter times.

My Tinnitus is better in the morning, too. Sometimes i think it is away but before i get up it returns, thats very disappointing. I am gonna try a Paracetamol today, i will post my results.

Hi!
My tinnitus is very high in the morning.
First I think it depends of no concurrence from other sounds. Next is probably the fact that I have burn out syndrom with hormone unbalance. My cortisol hormone is very low in the morning, and it should be at high levels.
Kind regards

Hello!
When I wake up I get this lovely impression that the tinnitus is gone. But... well... false alarm.
What a disappointment every morning.
The absence of sound seems to calm down my tinnitus.
After more than 10 months I have not yet been able to pinpoint what influences the level of hissing in my ear but I think it is mostly noise that influences it.

I have had tinnitus for 3 weeks now. For me, noise seems to be the worst exacerbator. Now as I type at the computer, the T is quieter, though not absent (but 90 percent quieter than earlier today). For me, it often seems quieter upon awakening, but flares up with showering, working, etc., then quieter as the kids go off to bed in the evening quiet.

Hi slumd,
Welcome to the forum.
The tinnitus being largely a nervous condition, it is simply the variability of the nervous activity that causes the changes of the tinnitus level. This is also why it is advisable to avoid substances which artificially stimulate your nervous system (like caffeine and alcohol), and why one should avoid stress if possible.

Suffered severe tin-ear for 40+ years. It does not diminish. Hearing is more sensitive and you can cause further damage easily if you are exposed to loud sounds. I was warned by medical community. Irregardless, Christmas '05 I 'pushed' Bing and the Andrews Sisters to the limit. Booze! "Oh come all ye faithful'. Stayed in my head for weeks, then changed to Mormon Tabernacle Choir, or some such. It then changed to, what I would guess to be a Polonesian(?)-type chant. Beer, suicide, or more disatrous, sleeping pills. C'est la vie! Take care.

You cannot avoid stress if you suffer 'tin-ear'. The 'screaming' is stress! Tolerate to 17:00, maybe 18:00, then beer. Does not reduce ' screaming', 'whooshing', 'singing' etc., however, after four beer, who cares, let her 'scream'. Rest in peace.
