    Low-Pitched Tinnitus from Olanzapine (Zyprexa) — Plus Vibrating/Fluttering Feeling in Eardrum

    ...The tinnitus itself started on the 6th day, but my doctor and I weren't sure it was because of olanzapine. The sound was a VERY LOW humming tone, like a car engine outside the house (though it wasn't a very loud tone, from my research other people have it much worse volume wise)...

    Low Frequency Hearing Loss, Now Pulsating Tinnitus

    ...to sound. I had low frequency deafness in the right ear (why not the left I don't know). The right ear would occasionally get the low humming tinnitus which lasted for a few seconds (at most 30 seconds). Both ears suffer the sound of the ocean, constantly but it is the low hum that is...

    Hearing Deep Humming After Ski Crash

    @ATownsend75, are you still here? Any updates? I have the exact same: Low hum that stops when I'm spoken to or when I shake my head left to right. It stops for a second and then it picks back up. Very strange, to say the least. Not sure if this is "typical" tinnitus (if there is such a thing)...

    Low Pitched Light Sabre/PVC Pipe Effect — This Tinnitus Noise Seems to Imitate Real-World Tones

    In addition to my ultra-high reactive tinnitus, I've recently discovered some kind of reaction to certain low frequencies, e.g. the loud radiator in my new apartment. When the fan kicks on, it hums at E flat (approx 155 Hz), plus a bit of an octave-down undertone (half that), and after too much...

    Meg, I think we have the same thing. Mine is in the left ear as well. I had a systemic infection that spread to both ears. In my left ear, I have a baseline hum. In quiet environments, it stays as a steady tone. In noisier environments—such as with road traffic, the dryer, or street noise—it...

    On & Off Loud Humming

    I HATE humming and low thumps more than any other sound. I'll take the ee or a hiss anyday. I literally remember when I was better hearing static in both ears in silence thinking... you know... this is just static... it's peaceful actually. The low bass crap is bs.

    Can Tinnitus Sufferers Do Noisy-ish Things with Earplugs?

    Flying is a non-issue - I strongly believe. Just try to get a seat in front of the engines and keep earplugs handy if you need them. Unless it's a very old plane, it's not so loud in there. I did not fly for about 2 years after my onset (I have low-humming tinnitus, so I was especially scared...

    Oticon More™ Hearing Aids Silenced My Friend's Tinnitus

    Tinnitus Stops If I Cover My Opposite Eear

    Well, my low humming vibrating noise is back from hell after being in remission for almost a year. Only in left ear.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I agree: this type of tinnitus is the worst. High-pitched ringing is not fun, but for me the low booming, rumbling, and pounding was harder to deal with. The high ringing is generally above other things in my environment that I'm trying to listen to, but the mid-range and low sounds could easily...

    In-Cabin Noise Level of Wide-Body Aircraft — Airbus A380 the Quietest

    That sounds like residual inhibition (google it). In my non-scientific opinion it shows your tinnitus can be suppressed with sounds. This might help with any future sound treatments in the pipeline but I'm just speculating.

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    Tormented in Texas: Tinnitus for 20+ Years, Meniere's Disease for 15 Years

    What's it sound like? Especially in the morning is a big question of mine. Ringing? Seashellish? Low humming? Can't they offer you endolymphatic shunts if nothing else is working to at least keep you from going deaf? Do you have vertigo or just unsteady? Is the tinnitus in both ears?

    Is It Tinnitus? Low Hum — I'm Very Worried

    I have two low frequency hums that I hear when it's quiet, loud high frequency ringing/hissing that I hear 98% of the time, and middle tones that multiply when I turn over in bed. Trust me when I say the low humming is the least of my worries.

    Will this device work for people who have mild/moderate low frequency hearing loss?
