    Alternating Low-Frequency Tones in My Left Ear — Is This Tinnitus?

    Gfturner, I have the same thing! I have what started as a low humming that changes to a sound like a lawnmower and then sometimes like multiple car alarms or someone playing random notes on an organ. I haven't read nearly anything about tones like these, it seems like most people have a steady...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Recovery After 2 Years (Not Habituation)

    Humming Sound in Left Ear

    @MariaH you just described what I had two weeks ago! Low humming, strong feeling in the whole head, I think I got it from medication. I had it for a 1.5 week, but it went away! I hope yours goes away too. I know how it is, the sound was so different, so low, like some one drilling on the other...

    16 kHz Hearing Loss — Intratympanic Steroids or Stem Cells?

    After the noise trauma I’ve got really sensitive to noise. I was at my worst when this audiogram was made, back in July 2019. I was literally house bound at that time. Even if my audiogram looks good I have multiple tinnitus sounds. When I was at my worst I had 10 different tones, high...

    Does Masking Tinnitus Make It Worse?

    I've had a gas heater on lately with the cold weather here and it seems to help mask my tinnitus pretty good. It has a low humming sound, do you think this could possibly make T worse? I've had a spike recently and I just wanna make sure it isn't from this, I doubt it is but you never know. But...

    How to Cope with the Unknown — Never Knowing How Your Tinnitus Is Tomorrow

    Forever Hopeful, As someone who has had tinnitus since 1996, I can tell you that it doesn't always get worse as you age. I'm 61, and my hearing is "perfectly normal" (according to my ENT) for someone my age. I started hearing a high-pitched hissing 26 years ago this month for reasons that were...

    Psychologists

    Yeah, our T may be minor, it's hard to tell because it's a subjective ailment, but it's still scary because we aren't as acclimatized to it like most people on this site who have been living with T for decades. Right now, my T is a calm humming with a high-pitched but quiet undercurrent.

    Worried About Rumbling Sound

    CPAP Machine Making Tinnitus Worse?

    ...I've always had tinnitus. No known cause. It seems to run in my family. It has never really bothered me much, it's always been pretty low humming. However, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and they gave me a CPAP machine. I started using it and within a week my tinnitus got incredibly loud...

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

    With heat, massage, and most importantly the mouth guard, I’d say within a week to ten days it was completely gone. Have not heard it since. And I had it bad. I am so grateful this fixed it.

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    For some reason I didn't read this post. I certainly have forward head posture, static hissing and sporadically clogged ears. Also - I work on a MacBook 8 hours per day. I should probably connect an external screen so I look a bit "higher" than just down at my MacBook the whole time. Usual...

    New 'Rumbling' Like Tinnitus

    Recently I've noticed that I have a 'new' type of tinnitus. It is an extremely low pitched sound. Volume is pretty low but audible at night. It sounds like there is a machine or helicopter making noise, but very far away. At the same time, I'm sure it comes from within my head. Really in the...

After the 24th, the low humming went into remission or at least I couldn't hear it much in a quiet room. Now if I plug my ears, I can hear my heartbeat thumping loudly in my...

    I Feel My Tinnitus Often Aligns with My Heartbeat — Possibly Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    @Jerad, thinking in agreement from your introduction post, including residual inhibition, that your problem is ear related. This is what I found from more study research. Downward deflection from using an inversion table could cause the elastic basilar membrane to move down and also increase...

    Is it harder to habituate to very high pitched tinnitus?

    ...tune out the tinnitus sound. I have a quite high ringing sound too, even though I'm not sure about the frequency. I'm not sure if a low humming sound would be easier to stand than a high sound. Of course a low sound might be more easily masked by other sounds. That said I feel people can feel...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Low Rumble Hum Sound (Like a Car Engine)/Low Frequency Tinnitus?

    For me, the low frequency noise has been the noise hardest to get used to because the moment you think it's less noticeable the neighbour's subwoofer sets it off once again, or one of those horribly oversized agricultural machines drives by, as, unfortunately, they do here like 50 times a day at...

    My Tinnitus Has Changed ...

    Electrical Head Buzzing Tinnitus — What Has Helped YOU?
