    Acid Reflux Leading to ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction)?

    I have also been suffering from tinnitus, which I believe is due to Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by acid reflux. Although I’ve had tinnitus for a few years now, it has gotten moderately worse since the reflux started several months ago. I caught pneumonia back in October/November last...

    A Year of Reactive Tinnitus and Severe Hyperacusis

    I sympathize with you, as this is where I've been as well for the past eight years. My reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis dictate my life. My high-frequency, multi-tonal, discordant tinnitus is a nightmare that is only getting worse the older I get. I've accepted that this is my tinnitus and am...

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

    Interesting. The low hum is very loud and disturbing to me. It engulfs my whole head like if I'm inside a wind tunnel and I can hear it all day not just at bed time. :(

    A Year of Reactive Tinnitus and Severe Hyperacusis

    @Travis Henry was right when he said tinnitus has no limits. My high-frequency variable tinnitus has gotten worse in recent weeks; I suspect it is due to occasional Benzo use after the medication leaves the system. I have more bad days and fewer bad days. Time has not given me any benefit over...

    New Noise? Is There a Correlation Between the Noise(s) We Hear and Its Onset?

    Low-Frequency Tinnitus After Listening to Headphones for 3 Hours

    Hey, a few questions for you regarding your low hum! What kind of level of hearing loss do you have and at what frequency? Is you hum around the same frequency or below 100 Hz? Does it cut in and out with other low sounds or is it constant no matter what?

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    If it's any consolation, I too have the low end that comes and goes, and goes away when shaking my head or the right noise frequency cuts it out. Humming or talking stops it but it returns instantly when I sstop. Frustrating but comforting that we all have this exact same thing. Clearly there's...

    New Sound in My "Good Ear"

    ...a couple days ago I got extremely angry about T again and was really grinding my teeth and jaws super hard (stupidly) What does this low humming mean if anything? Any ideas? I have been diagnosed with TMJ, my jaws hurt and my ears itch a lot lately but Dr says no infection. I appreciate...

    Hum in Ear Only One Day After Taking Cefalexin (Keflex)

    Hi @Sugarpuddle. I understand that your experience was different from mine in the fact that you didn't have tinnitus before, I just wanted to be clear what my experience of taking Cefalexin was. I can't definitively say it was the antibiotic but there was a quick jump in the level of tinnitus...

    Can One Have Both Low and High Frequency Tinnitus?

    I have 3 or 4 tones, one at 15khz, one at about 10khz, a wooshing noise and a low humming which vibrates my head - I only hear that in silence.

    I didn't know there was such a thing as low frequency tinnitus until reading this forum. I've been hearing this oscillating humming noise and thought it was a/c compressors or mechanical noise. I was hearing it this morning as I went from room to room expecting it to change but it didn't. Then...

    Otosclerosis and Tinnitus

    In terms of coming and going, yes. The bizarre thing is that I only noticed it post-stapedotomy. It could have been there pre-stapedotomy too, just covered by the pre-op tinnitus (it used to cover a wider range of frequencies) and thus, not as noticeable. Now, there aren't that many tests that...

    Can Coughing Cause Barotrauma/Tinnitus?

    Yes, unfortunately this is how I developed a low humming Tinnitus on my right ear. I'd recommend seeing a ENT and possibly asking for some oral steroids and or steroid injection. Try your best to avoid coughing! Eat some garlic and take magnesium.

    Weird Low-Pitched Tinnitus Nightmare: It Sounds Like Bassy Music or Car Idling

    Yes, I can 100% relate to this. You have been through an "acoustic trauma", due to your previous fragile ears. This has happened to me as well - pretty much feeling exactly the same way you described it in the quote. There is also a great component of stress and anxiety mixed into this, which...

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    I have forward head posture and straightened lordosis. Very, very rarely my ears are slightly clogged without any apparent reason, but I'm not sure I would even notice if I wasn't focusing all the time on my ears. On the other hand, before the penultimate bout of the low drone (mine is not...

    @Frayact, sorry to hear that the humming is bothering you so much. That’s good it goes away for years at a time and let’s hope it does again soon.

    Tinnitus for Almost a Year — Why Does It Keep Getting Worse?

    Tinnitus is unpredictable. It can improve, worsen, change pitch, etc. For some people even what they eat, the exercise they do, etc can have an impact on tinnitus.

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Voice Vibrating/Too Loud in Left Ear. Low/Bass Sounds Make It Go Crazy.

    I'm not even sure this counts as "tinnitus", but I figured the term is just used for hearing distortions in general. I just woke up with this last Monday. I'm not remotely sick. I breathe easily through my nose. No sign of sinus anything. Anyway, it's as I described in the title. What's weird...

    High Blood Pressure, Humming, Sensation of Eardrum Being About to Burst Open

    Several years ago I started to experience a low level hum, like a lorry engine idling outside somewhere. Anyho, I figured it was just another new noise but I'm convinced it's related to blood pressure. I hear it predominantly in my right ear. It's been known to come and go. Recently it's...

    Is This Low-Pitched, Like a Slow Fan/Low Rumble, Pulsatile Tinnitus?

Also, I think my low hum can be atypical MEM or middle ear related. I don't think that otosclerosis...
