Please try not to use headphones. I think there is a chance you can heal at least some, with time. Or you can habituate at least to some level, if not fully. i'm rooting for you.

Listen to @TheDanishGirl. Headphones will only make it worse. And from my own experience, I can tell you that tinnitus can reduce in intensity after some time. FWIW, I also have a hum (since 2016) and two other tinnitus sounds.

thank you for reaching out.. did your low frequency tone also hat a physical sensation? It is a vibration in my whole head, 24/7..

and also thank you for reaching out @TheDanishGirl I know, how hard do you have it.. it is just so unfair, that this exists..

@Aschenherz Yep, I can literally 'feel' the hum sound in the back of my head, if you know what I mean. It only appears when I'm in a silent room.

I'm sure your T will become a minor nuisance after a while. It took me three months in 2016 to find peace with it. After a worsening in 2020, it went to a 10/10 but thankfully the hum went back to its previous level after 1 year or so. I'm quite positive that time could also be a healer in your case.

did you took any anti-depressents? I have the feeling, it made it worse for me. I have this hum for 2 months and it is driving me insane. thank you for all the messages.

Hi there @Aschenherz , I hope you're still here with us. Please don't do anything hasty! Tinnitus can change for the better after some time. So please hold on

But in regards to your question: yes, I do use an antidepressant, which is mirtazapine. I only use it in the evening before I go to sleep.
