I have had both low-pitch and high-pitch tinnitus for quite some time. Recently, I developed a cricket-like noise that only appears with external sound. The louder the external sound, the louder the crickets become. It basically sounds like a thousand crickets. In silence, I hear my other...

I have the exact same distortions. Basically, I hear crickets layered over all external sounds. It is really confusing because it feels like I am out in the country in summer, listening to crickets. Unfortunately, that is not the case—I am in the city in winter. Have you been able to learn to...

Still the same. From what I’ve read, it’s a pretty rare thing, but it may help some people.

Are you still working and able to maintain a relatively normal life, or are you avoiding many things? Is your condition also reactive to driving?

I still have the whistling sound, but to be honest it’s the least of my worries compared to my low-pitched subwoofer tinnitus. Do you also have the whistling?

Hey, I’m just wondering how you’re doing and if it has gone away, or if you’ve gotten used to it. I’m still really struggling and would love to chat with you further if you have the time. I’d really appreciate it.

Are you able to live a normal life with this sound, or are you depressed and just barely getting by?

Sorry to hear about your struggles. They sound very similar to mine. I’m only eight months in, and I’m really battling some dark thoughts that keep growing stronger each day. I’m wondering, with all your experience, have you been able to live a normal and happy life despite the low-pitched...

Hi @Bill_, I’ve read some of your earlier posts. I have the same terrible humming you described and was just wondering how long it took for yours to settle down, and whether you did anything differently that seemed to help? For me, it’s reactive and gets worse for a short while after driving...

Hi all, I’m still here and struggling terribly with the hum. If anyone else still has it and has managed to overcome it and return to their normal life, I would really love to hear from you. This hum is slowly taking away everything I love and everything that is important to me. I just need some...

@Benjaminbb, is there any way you could contact me by message? I’m really struggling with the hum you described and would really appreciate the chance to talk. I’m at my wits’ end.

I think we have similar tinnitus. Mine sounds like a subwoofer in the distance, pulsing. It also worsens after driving short distances, but it disappears after long drives. It has been really tough. I am still in the acute phase and hoping to manage it. I just wanted to let you know that you are...

What does your low-pitched tinnitus sound like? Does it react to noise, such as when you are driving?

Hi @daniel12345, I am just wondering, you said your hum is constant. Mine is constantly present as well, but it basically comes and goes every few seconds. It is not in time with my heartbeat. Would you say yours sounds like a subwoofer in the distance? Also, are you sure it worsens due to...

Sorry to hear you are experiencing something similar. It is a tough situation, but I have read some stories from people who have managed to adapt to it. That gives me hope. I would be kind to yourself regarding how it started. Mine likely began after a long drive. Many others report noise...
