    I Got Low Hum Tinnitus for Christmas...

    Hello everyone! In the middle of December, I came down with an upper respiratory infection. My ears got all clogged. On the 23rd, a low humming sound started. I went to an urgent care center to confirm see if I had an infection. As t turned out my ears were not infected, but just filled...

    Is My Experience with Amplified and Doubled Noises from Dysacusis, Hyperacusis, or Something Else?

    Sure. This sounds a lot like how I was for a long time. I can still have bad periods where this may show up in some form, even six years down the road, but most of the time I’m good. Even in those periods, when I get those “Morse code” sounds or whatever you may call them on top of other...

    Low Hum and Plugged Ear

    ...only ear that had tinnitus. I started to feel better until I got a head cold around memorial day. Now my right ear is plugged and has a low humming sound. I'm scared because this was my good ear. The ENT said it could just be ETD because of the cold. He said he doesn't know if it's going to...

    Raging Tinnitus to Tolerable Humming After Using Diclofenac Sodium (Voltaren) 1% Topical Gel

    I have been applying a finger tip amount of Diclofenac Sodium 1% gel to the condylar process just below both ears and rubbing it in twice daily. I have only been doing this for a few days but I have found that my episodic raging tinnitus has been reduced to a tolerable humming. I’ll follow up...

    Hello, New Here! First I Had Humming, and Now High-Pitched Static and Ringing

    Hello, I'm new here and new to tinnitus. 6 weeks ago my left ear felt blocked and earache, I also felt a bit flu like, taking paracetamol made me feel better so went to GP who said my ears were completely compacted with wax. Had them syringed and all symptoms went away. A week later I had a...

    Hi Canyonmom, Just wondering if you currently still have the low-frequency hum? I'm nearing 3 months of it being here pretty much 24/7, unilaterally (left ear). Also dealing with aural fullness and hyperacusis but it's the humming tinnitus that worries me most. I pray every day that it will...

    Hmm, we have similar symptoms. I can also feel the tensor tympani muscle twitch when typing on a keyboard (generally, on any sharp sound), but only in one ear. And I also get a low humming sound after driving for a longer time. It always disappears the next morning.

    Tinnitus (Low Hum) That Alternates with Ear Fullness

    Hi everyone! My low hum tinnitus after an upper respitory virus continues. Quick background: mid December, I started waking with plugged ears, but it would always get better as the day went on. Then, it got bad right before Christmas, the urgent care dr diagnosed fluid in ears, but no...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I also find that lying down always brings back the low-frequency tinnitus. Even though my hum-free days unfortunately occur less and less frequently, I always notice that the quiet phases occur during the day and the humming then returns overnight. As soon as I get up, it gradually disappears...

    Very Low Pitched Tinnitus

    Hi Guys, I have had some high pitched tinnitus for years which I habituated too. Recently on the day of the birth of my first child I went to bed and woke up the next day with my head humming a very low bass noise. Like 75 HZ - 100 HZ low. My hearing has changed although still shows as ok...

    New Horrible Tinnitus Sound That Disappears When I Plug My Ears

    I got the same kind of low-frequency humming last weekend. Actually, I have had quite loud tinnitus at 10-12 kHz for almost 3 years, but this humming is something new. When I plug my ears - it disappears. It also becomes less loud when I wear my headphones with cushions. I even feel vibration...

    hello all. I'm new here but recently started suffering from a low pitched form of tinnitus that my ENT thinks is related to eustacian tube dysfunction. It all started after I had been feeling dizzy and nauseous (as well as super stressed with work and a little sad about some unrelated things...

    Has Anyone with Low Frequency Tinnitus Tried IV Circulation Enhancers and Steroids?

    I have low frequency, low humming, buzzing tinnitus for a week and it's very loud. I got prescribed Nootropil (Piracetam) and Betarevin (Betahistine) for circulation. The doctors told me that the protocol contains IV infusions of blood enhancers, but they would not suggest it for me, because my...

    Suicidal

    It's funny that my stupid ears are trying very hard to make me commit suicide. Every time I habituate to a sound, a new sound appears in my ears. Recently a motor sound with a physical vibration sensation was added to the mix in my left ear, again for no apparent reason. I already had...

    Musical Tinnitus, Deep Pressure and Ear Pain Following Sinusitis

    This is to add 'a beginning' to my tinnitus story. It was 16 years ago this week that my tinnitus began suddenly. One week before my onset, I had gotten sick. After a day, I felt better overall but then I started to experience sound distortion, dizziness and fullness in my right ear. I saw my...

    Acoustic Trauma Induced Low Hum Almost Completely Gone by Lowering Chin to Chest

    New Humming Sound Added to the Collection of My Tinnitus Sounds

    I had high pitch tinnitus in both ears for more than 5 years, probably for a hearing trauma (playing bass at high volumes). After this much time, I was kind of used to it, and it didn't really bother me that much. I kept using hear protections on noisy places and always used headphones at low...

    Cyclical Low-Frequency Tinnitus + Hyperacusis After Viral Infections — Anyone Else?

    Same here! It would go away when I was around noise or when I plugged my ears. Slowly I noticed the humming getting lighter and lighter till eventually it was a low hum then gone. It comes back still but for like 3 or 4 days.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Shaking Head Quickly Stops My Low-Frequency Tinnitus Hum — Is It from Anxiety?

    I have 2 tinnitus noises in the same ear, a hiss that turns in to a intense buzz in a quiet room, and a low frequency hum around 100 Hz or less that can be stopped when I shake my head (as though saying "no") rapidly or if a airplane flies overhead FAR in the distance, so far it is barely even...

    How Can You Study with Tinnitus?

    Can My Buzzing/Humming/Vibrating Tinnitus Still Stop? I Feel Like I'm Going Crazy

    I have the low buzzing-humming-vibrating kind of tinnitus "just" for a week.

I think that I will give up...

    Possible Acoustic Trauma After a "Quiet Suite" MRI Scan?

    Low-Pitched Humming / Droning / Rumbling Tinnitus — Mostly Triggered by Low-Pitched Sounds

    Hi @GoatSheep, That sounds somewhat similar. Good thing is that you are able to use residual inhibition. If I find some noise that masks the humming (dish washer is pretty good) I will be back to humming as soon as the masking sound disappears. I have understood that many people find hard to...

    Hello, can you please get in touch with me. Really curious on your info on TTTS. Does hearing bass or any low frequency type of vibration set it off? Does wearing an earplug? Does talking/humming stop it? Where did you hear TTTS could cause low humming, vibrating sound?

    After 6 Years of Coping with Tinnitus, I Developed a Low-Pitched Humming — Caused by Stress?

    No, that's not how it works. None of us "low-hummers" are saved by earplugs. You really need to go check our low hum thread, lots of good information in it. Most of us can stop the hum by putting our fingers in our ears, this is (probably) because of the noise the finger makes against the ear...
