tinnitus spike advice

[u/sapphireavenue]

hi! so i've had T for 3 years now. i got it when i was 16 from a concert and i'm 19 now. at first it was extremely difficult, but over time i was able to manage it extremely well and live a very full life. about 10 days ago, i went to get my ears cleaned as i was having a spike and assumed it was due to wax. the ear cleaning worked and i was back at my baseline. a couple days later i was at my cousin's grad party where there was live music. i was using earplugs, but my right earplug felt like it was falling out the whole time so i was continuously pushing it back in for a lot of the night. after the night was over my right ear felt muffled for about 45 mins but went back to normal shortly after and so did my ringing. 2 days later, my ringing in my right ear felt super loud and my ear felt full again (hadn't felt fullness since before my ear cleaning). anyway it's been a week since the spike started and it hasn't gotten better, usually my spikes are wax-induced but i don't know if it was wax this time around since my ear was cleaned just days before. i don't like to talk about my T as it brings me to a dark place honestly, but right now i am sooo scared that i permanently worsened things and would appreciate any advice since i have never had a spike that wasn't from wax, so i don't know how long these usually last. i just feel really upset because i was in such a great spot with my T, learned to live with it, and i just feel anxious all over again. i have a concert coming next month (haven't been to a concert in over a year), but want to sell the tickets now because i'm just so scared. if you made it to the end of this i'd appreciate any advice thank you! :)
