Coping with frequent spikes

$

I have had tinnitus for roughly five years after excessive noise exposure at a night club. I have seen an ENT and audiologist and they have concluded that there is nothing physically wrong with me, and that I have no NIHL. I have been told that I need to learn to live with the tinnitus and up until a few months ago I was largely habituated to it.

Roughly three months ago, I started experiencing frequent spikes, for no apparent reason. I have had a few spikes in the past, but they would come and go quickly, and I wouldn't have another one for several months. Now I'm having spikes way more frequently, and they're lasting significantly longer. I'm having a tough time dealing with it and I'm not sure what to do.

Are these spikes something that I will eventually habituate to, the same way I did with the original tone? Or is this something I ought to consider seeking treatment for? Do you have any advice on coping with these spiked in the interim?

Thanks in advance for you input, Dr. Nagler. And thanks for creating this forum.
