    What Is Your Tinnitus?

    High pitch EEE, along with a vibrational/low base humming sound pounding in my head/ears. It's strange though, cause when I cup my ears, the vibration kind of goes away and I'm left with the high pitch EEE. Not sure what it means though.

    Tinnitus Disappeared After an MRI for a While, It's Now Back — Is This Normal?

    Hello all, I have tinnitus that came from an epidural which made a leak in the spine. Normally this symptom disappears, but for me it has stayed. I have a very deep low frequency hum/vibration feeling in one ear. And then some high pitch tones. It has been here for 2 months. Two days ago...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Hello @Ben Winders, I have been reading your posts and I think I have something similar. I was exposed to multiple gunshots 10 days ago while wearing ear protection (that apparently wasn't sufficient). My hearing was muffled also with hyperacusis for several days, and hearing loss in my left ear...

    Gin, there is another thread about this low hum affliction that you might want to read. In it, I describe the hell I've been through, off and on, for the last 20 years: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/humming-sound-in-left-ear.6437/

    Challenging the Current Terminology of Hyperacusis

    This happens in particular with low frequencies specifically? I wonder if extra stimulation is happening at the "formants" of the low frequency sounds. Is it both ears? Do the low frequency sounds sound otherwise normal?

    Ginger for Noxacusis

    I had the same problem with my computer fans spiking my humming tinnitus (as it is connected with my high frequency tinnitus/hearing loss). I bought an M1 MacBook. Problem solved. No more fans. And I play games on it, I connect a huge monitor to it, watch 4K videos on it, and the fans never...

    Loud Low Pitch Humming Tinnitus Noise, Sometimes Feels Like the Eardrum Is Vibrating

    The Hum

    Hi I hear a low humming when my house is quiet which I thought was an electric motor noise from neighbours. I use an Android frequency generator app and a Bose speaker to generate a background noise of about 52-56 hertz at a low level which I find masks the tinnitus. I also have an app which...

    Hi Lana. Yes I get a low humming as well. My main tinnitus started a couple of months ago and it's a loud high pitched whistle. Over the last few weeks though I've started to get a low hum on and off. It's a bit like having a beehive in my head. Unlike my other sound, I only really notice the...

    Humming Tinnitus and Pregnant

    @Mumtobe I had a low humming noise exactly one month after my twins were born. Fortunately, it went on and off for a week, and it hasn't been back since. Unfortunately, it was replaced by a higher pitched sound that has taken up residence in my head. I think this humming was more mechanical -...

    Reactive/Unmaskable Tinnitus — Positivity Needed

    My high-pitched hissing is not reactive; it's consistent but ironically it doesn't bother me. I habituated to it 25 years ago. On the other hand, the low-pitched hum I also have IS reactive. Even something as simple as talking on the phone will set it off. Listening to music and even brushing...

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

    Humming Sound in Left Ear

    Possible Sudden Hearing Loss

    Humming, rushing sounds, distorted hearing and hearing loss. Meniere's doesn't always start out with dizziness. I guess you would call it Hydrops at this point if there is a hearing loss, especially a low frequency one.

    In Need of Help/Advice in Relation to Low-Frequency Tinnitus

    Low frequency is not always sensorineural and can be due to middle ear muscles vibrating/being lame, like the tensor tympani. Your ear fullness indicates it could be this, because middle ear muscles can affect ear pressure as they can interfere with the correct functioning of the eustacian...

    Oh man, that's awesome! Hope things continue to improve! What sort of humming did you have by the way? For most of my life I had a low/deep hum in my head, didn't bother me at all either because I was so habituated to it, it went away when I got my tinnitus though.

    I'm sorry to hear it and a bit in the same boat. I got a low humming sound 2 weeks ago and it is really unpleasant to hear. It also increases intensity randomly and nobody has answers. Do you hear the hum when you plug your ears? I can't. I hope it'll all work out for us eventually.
