My tinnitus started back in 2017 after months of clearing my ears with water and listening to loud music. It sounded like a car driving past in the distance, like a buzzing, humming sound, but it went away after a while. Since then I have had many forms of tinnitus, beeping, high pitched...

My regular drone sits at 80 Hz. On some days it drops lower for a few seconds and then it suddenly sits around 65 Hz. In the mornings it is a bit higher and is more in the head than in the ear. The byproduct theory is based on a couple things: 1) All the specialists I saw said it was in fact...

Near perfect hearing on those simple audiograms, yes (not a single frequency goes below 20 dB) - I guess my drone is lower than 125 Hz (that's the lowest they are testing here on audiograms), -20 dB in left ear at 125 Hz - still my drone is in the right ear, -20 dB in both ears at 4000 Hz too...

...What I don't get, and don't know how to categorize, is when reactivity happens nowhere near the actual pitch of the sound. Any low humming in the real world agitates my ultra-high hissing/squealing. I don't think it's mechanical (eardrum/middle ear) because the hissing is all over the...

I started hearing a typical high-pitched hissing in my head back in 1996. A few months later, a low-frequency hum was added to the mix. I eventually habituated to the higher frequency, but the humming completely changed my life for the worst. I could only sleep a few hours a night as it sounded...

Anything docs can't explain is caused by stress.:) Try to follow the diagnosis flowchart. It may lead you somewhere. Did you do a hearing test? Do you have an audiogram?

Hey @Juha, I would describe mine exactly the way you have described yours. 100%. Welcome! In terms of inhibition mine fluctuates but almost always after I go out to bars(with ear plugs) or drive for hours it is inhibited for a few days. Yours might react that way if you experience longer bass...

Hi... I feel what you are going through... but as hard as it is to believe... you will learn to live with it. You won't feel this way forever. Yes it will be annoying and some days will be worse than others... but that feeling of dred and anxiety will go away.. I've just started with a humming...

Blood pressure change of the carotid artery - pre hypertension moments that usually only last a few minutes. Constant worry and anxiety about loud noises can also cause the tensor tympani muscle to become overly active. This is supported in almost all newer studies...

@Kimberley8 Read your postings. Your tone is key. Doubtful that your C spine is placing pressure to your vertebral artery causing this sound, but this is is on a short list of possibilities. Possible that sound is pre development of pulsatile tinnitus caused from hypertension as...

Hi, @kelsey, Yes, I think a CTA would be a good idea, to see if anything can be found. I'm not sure what could be causing the low humming along with the pulsating. Did it start suddenly, or come on gradually? Have you been to a neurotologist, or only to an ENT? You might want to try going to...

It 3 weeks since the tubes where take out. I still have the echo and pressure difference...it is better..but still there. I developed an atrocious low frequency humming / vibration sounds in my right ear. The only things I can attempt to compare it to would be the sound when you are inside a...

Reading through this thread again. It’s insane how specific some of these symptoms are, like it stopping and starting rapidly when talking or when other sounds of moderate level are heard. Exactly like mine to an eerie degree. Mine came in these insanely loud attacks though, like someone pushed...

I can also stop my hum temporarily by shaking the head in a "no" pattern. I got my hum (and elevated "broken up tone" tinnitus that hasn't bothered me since my since teenage years – will turn 43 this year) in conjunction with drinking six beers one night in December last year. Never never heard...

...the neck tightness. I am surprised that you got a diagnosis so quickly. I think mine is a little different in that I hear that rumbling low humming too and doctors just kept calling it tinnnitus when it could be either pulsatile, myoclonus, or objective. I wonder if myoclonus, or these...

...now since a week i notice i am falling back again. I really don't know why. I began to listen to it again. My head feels full, hear a low humming sound (not all the time) but it realy freaks me out. Start crying. 8.5 Months T right now. Started with a high pitch. The morning are the worst...

I am a 54 fairly fit female. I have had a high pitched hissing in both ears since 1999. At first I thought it was something in my wiring at home but well you know. Nov. 8th this year I attended my daughters bday party. They had an inexperienced dj. I sat fairly close to the speakers(where I was...

Sorry to hear this Val. I hope your ears start feeling better soon. I had that incident I mentioned to you back in September, it is now January) that I am starting to feel a tiny little better. Hang in there. Big Hug. Once PS. Some people here will never understand what it is to have low...

...be masked. The first few days I actually thought „ok this is considerably louder but even if it stays this way I think I can manage“. But with this low humming thing - I‘m not so sure. It’s everywhere in my head. A bit like when you’re dizzy (without the feeling of dizziness). I hope this stops

Hello! Please keep reading! I’m a 33-year-old female that developed a low humming/drumming sound in my left ear last week. Please read and help me with the overall things to know about tinnitus. Here are things that may have contributed to mine: -The week before I had sinus congestion and...

Yes i was taking claritin at the same time (allergy) .. And i got the same low humming noise too, it's my vacuum or phone dialing sound, like fluttering sound in the background, very low but noticeable most of the time. Hope it will subside like yours. Thx for your advice. My theory is when...

I would say that the fact you are losing the "higher" pitched rings/hiss is a very good sign. Your T is fading. My lower tone also comes and goes, sometimes totally unnoticeable, and sometimes very noticeable. My lower tone has improved in the last week, I have a theory as to why. My ears have...

This low pitched machinery rumble tinnitus you have, did you get it from the tympanostomy tubes or from the beginning of the injury?

I have the same thing. It's awful. Right now it's really bad. I also have a Morse code thing going on top of it. I noticed that if I get upset about something this low sound really cranks up.

Unfortunately, this may be a new sound. They are often similar to real ambient sounds.

...hear it constantly over everything I do - what is worse is that it is now accompanied by a pulsating feeling at the back of my neck and a low humming/rumbling noise. Sometimes the pulses feel so strong my vision goes a bit funny. I also never used to get dizziness but recently I've been...

Hi all. I would be going to a doctor to get this properly checked, but since I'm not in a really great living environment (won't go into detail so don't ask) plus because of what's going on in the world right now... I figured it'd be best to ask on this forum. (I don't live in the US or UK, but...

...in Japan. Sorry if I have bad english. I got my T in nov 2017.It first started on the left with a high pitched sound and a week later a low humming sound started on the right . I went to a lot of ents, did CT and MRI and etc..They have no explanation for my T. They all have the same answer...

I'm going to an ENT on Monday. My primary care physician says he's great. I'm not getting my hopes up, though. After 18 years of enduring this, no answers have ever come to light (except for when I thought it was related to depression). My doctor also recommended a trial of the drug Meclizine -...

Possible barotrauma from giving a birth?

I know how difficult and limited your life is, I know exactly what you are going through. But it's not the end. I have/had catastrophic >60 dB multiple tones, reactive, permanently spiking from <40 dB (now it's only from significant noise events or artificial noise - avoid this like the plague)...

I woke up in the middle of the night a few years back with a humming sound in my ears. I noticed that regular sounds were too loud and distorted, and accompanied by vibrations. No drugs. No alcohol. No cause I could see. Thus started panic attacks, anxiety and depression. I made the rounds...

Muscle spasms from can do exactly what you describe. Lots of study about this and of complaints on other talk boards. https://www.justanswer.com/neurology/7rotp-deep-humming-left-side-head-comes. The external carotid artery begins at the bifurcation of the common carotid at the level of the...

...my putting a resonator in the muffler . It's still loud ( around 67-73 dB) and 85 dB on iPhone app ( I think that's incorrect ) .it has low humming sound like a Lamborghini but on a hand held meter it only shows max 75 dB. Do you think these type of noise can worsen T ? It seems I never had...

There is another long thread of people talking about their low frequency tinnitus. It real, but not very common. If you need the link for that, if you can't find it, let me know. Unfortunately, there are no real fixes, but there are ways to cope. I did have ear surgery done a year ago...

HI @Phildnb You have recognised the original cause of your tinnitus was a combination of headphone use and exposure to loud music. Both are common causes of tinnitus and a lot of people in this forum have this condition resulting from headphone use and exposure to loud noise. Although you have...

No mine sounds like a loud semi engine, Its not a hissing or buzzing or anything close to that........And its positional....It goes away slightly when I lay down, and when I sit I hear it very loud.....

Have you done a CT-Scan?

Your choices, but with considerations: A decision should be made quickly for oral steroids. An emergency room doctor can pad a script for you. I would file an accident report and disability. "Currently, in addition to therapeutic approaches such as oral steroids and/or intratympanic...

Hello, I’ve been reading that circa 15% of the population has tinnitus. That got me wondering where were they hiding... And here I finally found you. So glad to meet you all. I first noticed my tinnitus nearly a year ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with this really low “morse code”...

Can you also stop it by covering your ear tightly with your palm or plugging it with your finger? Do talking/being talked to, yawning, swallowing also make it stop?

I have something quite similar. A low frequency tone that sounds like a mix of an idling motor/foghorn/washing machine. Mine is only in my left ear and it's on/off. Can you make it stop by covering your ear with your hand, plugging it with your finger, swallowing, talking, yawning? I have had...

Hello, I'm HZO, just turned 30 and I'm from Portugal. I always had great ears. Still, to this day, I never had otitis, no ear pain, nothing, zero, nada, niente... A few months ago I bought some Bluetooth running in-ear headphones to use while jogging. Never got to use them much, and when I...

...ear softening drops for a week prior though since my ear had felt full for a week. But yeah after that irrigation I keep hearing a low humming sound (like a fridge running) in my ear since then. It's been over 17 hours now and I'm still hearing this noise. Panicking now. Is this normal...

Hi everybody. I have been researching why there is humming noise in my ear from time to time and i got an answer for us all finally. When your middle ear ventilation tube is narrowed by allergy or cold, it will accumulate moist and condensate fluid, overtime it submerge part of your eardrum and...

It'll be very personal. For me, masking was more running away than facing and start dealing / getting used to my new reality... If I allowed my hum for a longer time, I got less scared of it (still scared, 160 blood pressure, still to this day) as opposed to masking and hearing it occasionally...

I have had very severe hyperacusis and mild tinnitus (not very bothersome so far, although sometimes spikes) and all I can say is that there is no medication that really helped more than fruit, tea, and anti oxidants. When I have a pill or a certain medication is just to stop worrying to think...

Chelles I can't take medicines very well either becasue they have the opposite effect too. I am on clonopin and it does help tremendously but I have been on ot for many years. Since you and I have a similar thumping low sound I can relate to not being able to sleep or deal with it. Last...

Here is a description of what I am going through. I believe It all started when I was too close to a speaker at a rock concert. Shortly after that evening I had a low hum in my left ear and 9 years later, It is still there. My right ear is not affected. It is constant wherever I go but when I...

Hi.

...not have it. Ah the sweet memory of silence. Anyway there is a very high pitched, piercing one, a myriad of middle pitched tones and a low humming, maybe like a motor. I have TMJ, allergies, chronic migraines, depression and anxiety. Geez when i type it out it seems like i am a mess but i...
