I have both a high-pitched hissing and a low-frequency hum. I habituated to the hissing 25 years ago, but the humming still makes me miserable. Unlike the hissing, which is constant and has never stopped since it started on 4/28/96, the humming will sometimes disappear for up to four years (the...

Hey don't worry or be fearful. I have a low hum myself and so does mother. I went to ENT and everything is perfect. ENT specialist said it is my nerves causing the humming. Look at Julian Cowan Hill videos they are very helpful and inspiring. Hope you are well and we can get through this T and...

I've had the low humming in my right ear for 3 months now. It is annoying like a ships engine in the head. Had a spinal and head MRI. Nothing spotted but something is causing this. We just have to live with it unfortunately until such time as it goes away or we die. It is completely out of our...

Hi all, found this site whilst Googling hum in ears. I am new here and well, it's more about support as nobody not even docs seem to be able to help let alone know anything. Firstly, in 2007 my left ear all of a sudden went deaf totally, it felt like a vacuum effect whilst losing hearing the...

I also have that humming noise and your experience sounds like mine. Does your hum get loud from time to time or is it stable?

I read that low ringing (this is not normal high ringing or normal humming that I know some people have!)can be caused by tight muscles or something?? I noticed also that my left hand has been numb for a little while nowadays, it started like four days ago? I'm not sure if those have anything...

Karl, that sounds wonderful. there is hope. we can't give up hope. i wish that low humming at night would stop for me though. but it sounds good for you. i just emailed the Dichonics facility in Amarillo and they said that they are thinking about training people nationwide but don't...

So happy you started this thread Nills as I experience this also,its weird but first thing in the morning its the usual hissing sound but the more noise im around it always morphs into an electrical current sound.It could be a hissing sound and a bit of a humming sound but the second im near...

I find other low end noise masks it. Silence seems to bring it on.

hi all, I will try to introduce myself but English is not my first language so I hope my writing makes sense :-). My name is Ann, 40 years old and mother of 2. Last januari I was very ill, got pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital for 5 days on iv antibiotics. During that time I also had a...

Sorry to hear. I have the same hum, as I mentioned above. I have been thinking about trying a medication to get rid of it, I wonder if I should try Effexor. I think I can habituate to the tinnitus and my hyperacusis is improving, but the humming is impossible to ignore most of the time.

I would need an active one, but it would only need to be very low activity. Basically it would be enough if something mechanical would be moving inside the earplug, brushing lightly against my ear canal, just like my finger would. @Christiaan, I'm afraid I have to backpedal on the fact that...

Keep us updated! I'll most likely make a trip sometime this coming November or February next year.

Shaking my head doesn't make a difference but like a lot of other people have said here, having noise constantly on in the background stops the low pitched noise completely. I only have it in my left ear. Only my right ear showed hearing loss on the audiogram but my high pitched tinnitus is...

...left ear is the worst. It also makes valsalva by itself multiple times a day when I belch or something. My right ear recently developed a low humming sound, which is really annoying too. I’m worried that this will increase my tinnitus and destroy things further in my ears. Anyone else with...

...TTTS. I don't know if the symptoms are similar to yours but perhaps you can search the forum and there will be more advice on those threads. My heart goes out to you. It's awful. I too have something odd (low humming bass tones day and night) that also hurt my eardrum. Klonopin helps me at...

So what's your theory/mechanism whereby steroids cause dysacusis? An autoimmune disorder? I do have a defective adrenal gland, and my hearing got worse with each (2) courses of Prednisone I did. I'm never touching that shit again. It gave me a bunch of low tones too. And now I've got white...

Anything disturbing cochlear blood supply in theory should hit your lowest frequencies first (they are most vulnerable as they are fed with the smallest capillaries). High frequencies whilst more metabolic get plenty of oxygen, so that damage is usually metabolic (ROS). Similar thing happens...

I see, hope it will get better with time for you! :) If there is anything that can mask it that would do me wonders in the day, do any of you use hearing aid maskers to mask over the humming? Regarding sleep, the other night I was able to sleep with no sound enrichment but last night the...

I have noticd the same! A low hum, like an engine or two in the far distance, sometimes humming with interference, at night when everything is quiet. And it stops when I put my fingers in my ears for a couple of seconds. Then it starts again after a few seconds.

Well said, loudness is all that matters. "Child's play" that I've suffered for nearly 7 years will very soon be the end of me. So unless you've experienced severe low frequency please don't jump into making dismisive conclusions like that.

No offense but low pitched tinnitus is a different beast than the more common high pitched 'eee' (I have both). There is a chance it will not settle down, like Michael Leigh above says. For me, at least, it has been fluctuating since the start and it still is (as @Joe Cuber mentioned, and this...

I'm sorry that you're having ear issues. I have something similar and some of us on the forum do so. If you search for low frequency tinnitus or low frequency hum, you can find some experience. Mine can be stopped by covering the ear with my palm, putting my finger in it, humming, talking...

I mentioned this before, but since we are discussing cause again, I think it's still mindblowing to read that: When I wake up in the morning I have two "settings" my low hum puts itself in. After an entire night of not having too much input, it seems my ears need to start up and by the...

Yes I am still suffering from it, but I'm a minority: most people don't have a severe version of it. You will probably be fine whether it completely disappears (which is likely) or if it stays but slowly fades out of your consciousness.

Hi Rob, I have this same hum. Unfortunately, it started low like you describe yours...but two years after it got much louder and now I can hear it everywhere. Masking is possible when air conditioning is on, near fridge, when in the car, when airplanes go by, with fan on and such. Below is a...

Thanks for taking the time to write such a clear response. I did not experience any side effects from Deanxit. It did not take long to have effect on my anxious reaction towards my humming tinnitus. Maybe 1 - 1.5 days. I just have these periods in my life where I lack the energy or the mindset...

I also have low frequency humming sound (like a motor) in my head, and it disappears when I make a humming sound with my own voice. The humming in my head re-appears about half a second or a second after I stop making sound with my voice. My tinnitus (humming sound) is probably a side-effect of...

Like I said, most everybody disagrees. And most everybody is stunned to find out that they are wrong. So let's talk about it after you have actually done the experiment. stephen nagler

Day 19 of ringing, first week High pitch ringing cried every night, couldn't sleep. Last week I can sleep and it's now several different tones, low pitch ringing on and off and like a humming/ chainsaw/ static. Every now and then ( knock on wood) my right ear will ring sometimes high sometimes...

I know it is highly individual, but trust me, there are types of low frequency tinnitus which is awfully hard to cope with. Mine is lower and more hollow than the refrigerator, sounds like thumping, rumbling, foghorn, idling motor, and so loud and vibrating, that it makes me suicidal. It also...

Yep, you can. My T changes almost everyday. Sometimes one sound at higher frequency, sometimes many across multiple frequencies from low to high. Usually acoustic incidences cause a temporary hum or whoosh over the top which almost feels like a physical sensation as opposed to just sound - like...

Many people (with low hum tinnitus) have this effect of LONG residual inhibition. I even emailed about this effect to one of the people that researched residual inhibition with tinnitus sufferers but he said he found it very peculiar that my inhibition could last for a couple hours (after being...

I've had a loud, low-pitched hum since 1996 that I can feel. It's mainly in my right ear, but I can also feel the humming sensation going down my throat. On most days, the humming will envelop my entire head. It's a living hell. I've been to a ton of doctors and had every medical test in the...

@Ben Winders, it’s OK. I know this is a possibility. When this happened to you, was it caused by any loud sound or new damage? Did it just happen randomly? I’m wondering if steroids would be helpful. Definitely not something I want to take unless absolutely necessary. I had a Tele consult with...

...my neck. I felt a stabbing pain from my neck straight up to my head. Two days later I had terrible neck pain, the worst headaches I've ever had, and the low humming became really loud. I did physical therapy for about 3 months. I got better about 6 months later. Hope you feel better soon. Once

@Phendran, it sounds as if your tinnitus might be somatic-sensory. How is it these days? By the way, I lived in Stockholm for a year. It's a beautiful city.

@glennr Glenn I had a low hum that seem to vibrate the side of my head too and I went to my Doc he gave me prednizone and in 3 days it was gone Hang in there

I do and some of us here do to, there are threads for low frequency tinnitus or low hum tinnitus or drone noise tinnitus. Mine is intermittent in a sense that I have it for a period of time during what I also have half days/days off then it goes into remission. The "active" periods are...

Hey, thanks for responding. But I had no tinnitus before the sinus infection, and no humming before the Cefalexin. It quite literally overnight caused the humming in my ear 4 months ago and it's still there. Just a constant hmmmm sound. It's really beginning to bother me. I don't have any...

Yeah - being talked to and shaking my head in a "no" manner stops my hum. Having a very low volume ventilation on during the day keeps my hum completely away. At night I keep a laptop on with VERY low volume humming noise and it keeps my hum away. Last time I heard my hum being REALLY loud was...

One of the few books by Rousseau that I have not read, so I did not know this. Thanks.

After 1-2 weeks of 200 mg of Tegretol or 300 mg of Trileptal I noticed the effect. The low humming was nearly gone unless I "awake" it by car ride, pressing the bad ear, expose to vibrations etc... When I stopped taking the drugs, it returned. Now I am trying Ambroxol as experimented by some...

No parties? That's worse than T ;) Seriously, glad you are having a low T day. I woke up to 3/10 and about a 2 or so now....a livable level. Be well Sam.

Mine is similar to this. It sounds like a car idling in my head. I can actually feel it. But only in silence, like when trying to sleep, of course.

T for almost 2 years and it did get well but now i hate my live. Have a new sound, a low humming sound en it is al over my head and nothing can cover it up. Dont now what to do. I have a nasty cold and i pray that when my cold gets better the sound settle down. And on top of that i have a...

Hi Makrohn I’m constantly on this forum looking for support . My right ear has a sort of hurst girdy(it’s a fair ground) which I’ve had for a long time. It’s now joined by a low screech, tinkling and a hum. The other ear has now joined in with humming, a low wind blowing noise and the tinkling...

...is going by the ear? I have had regular tinnitus tones on and off for years, but they were never 24/7 without a break and they were never low humming bass tones. If someone has a story similar and has any advice on dealing with the fast irregular, deep scary tones, please let me know and thanks.

A loud very low frequency humming, some mid frequency noise and then a loud classic high pitch eeee tone. That is what I can distinguish. Anyhow this is off-topic.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Influential eighteenth century political philosopher. From "Confessions" (1780) "...a great noise started up in my ears, a noise that was triple or rather quadruple, compounded of a low and muffled humming, a softer murmuring as though of running water, a piercing...

About 5 different sounds. A constant low hiss which seems to be at the back of my head and somtimes sounds like it shifts from ear to ear now and again. A sound like a pc humming. A sound like a low ratteling which is similer to listening into a sea shell. A low buzzing like a bug is flying...

It's so strange that more and more people talk about this weird tinnitus. I had it in 2016, 2017, 2019, each time around 1-3 weeks. Low, buzzing, humming, idle motor like sound, only in my left ear, awfully low in frequency, but awfully loud in volume. And it felt like that it was actually...

I guess this could be true. I am a little skeptical that the solution is so easy but it’s possible. The TMJ could impact the Eustachian tubes and that one cause but in reality it much more complicated than this. My low drone had gone away and now it’s back along with hyperacusis after a chiro...

Hi Shasta, I don't really hear it much when outside or in a car. I haven't put an earplug in as don't want to make anything worse. External noise does seem to mask it.

Hi. I have an update to share. As you know, I developed a new noise in October. Low-level humming that has been there ever since. It varies in intensity and just appeared randomly. I am so frightened because yesterday another noise was added to the cacophony of noises I already had. My tinnitus...

It's natural to pay attention to these things if you already pay a lot of attention to your ears and their health because of tinnitus or hyperacusis. After developing a new terrifying humming sound, I am now hyper aware of other low bass freq sounds that were always there but that I had no...

Dear members - I wonder if I could ask if anyone had the same experience. I started to have humming tinnitus that I notice in September this year. That first time it was in one ear and pulsatile and disappeared in a few hours after I had some Ibuprofen, it was just as I felt I was getting a...

No real side effects that I have noticed. I think I have more energy when I take it. Things were really quiet for a while but I got my first shot of Pfizer on Friday and don’t know if it was that or a new medication I started that has ramped up the noise a bit. Without a doubt though the last...

@DaveO High-pitched tinnitus is "easy" to diagnose because it's almost invariably tied, to some extent, to high frequency hearing loss -- which typically occurs before low-frequency loss. However, low-frequency "humming" T can certainly be a symptom of low frequency loss (I think this is what...

If you live in a nation with socialized medicine and you must wait a year for a simple hearing test, then that is a warning to Americans. Here you may have to pay for it, but you can schedule a hearing test for the same day with an audiologist. Wait a year? OMG. I have the humming all the...
