Hello, I have tinnitus at my left ear (acoustic trauma, gun shot). But when I turn my head left my tinnitus increases. Not when I turn my head to right, only happens when to left. Why could it be? Does anyone have any idea? Thanks.

Have they ruled out perilymph fistula? Occasionally that can happen with noise trauma. I feel like people with low frequency tinnitus especially should get a full work up.

Thanks, All. I am wondering though how head trauma can effect EXISTING t? Permanent or temporary exacerbation? Any cases out there??

...to whether or not it could possibly make your tinnitus worse though. They are only really just starting to scratch the surface on head trauma in contact sports now, so I'm guessing most doctors wouldn't have a clue in regard to boxing and auditory damage. I actually watched a really...

1) Tinnitus caused by loud noise/destruction of hair cells 2) TMJ 3) Tinnitus caused by ototoxic medication 4) Trauma to the ear/head.

100% stress can be the trigger that causes tinnitus. There are papers on this and in particular to women who endure extreme mental trauma for long period getting tinnitus. I also have reactive tinnitus and constant ear crackles. Stress over long periods raises cortisol. Your brain cells become...

4 years ago I experienced an acoustic trauma while DJing in a club, which triggered a case of hyperacusis and later tinnitus. I am writing this text to encourage all those who may be at the beginning of their symptoms right now. My symptoms have changed within 3 years from unbearable (suicidal)...

@Rafalek73 Tinnitus after head trauma is usually more annoying than coming from other causes. This is a good summary: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3458888/

1a) T caused by a one-time noise exposure (acoustic trauma) 1b) T caused by a lifetime of ear abuse (T due to noise)

Is it head trauma or cochlear damage?

Do you have jaw, neck issues, head trauma, brain issues? Do you experience ear pain, chronic ear fullness, do some sounds sound too loud or abnormally loud?

Hello, I've been lurking the forums since last August when I got tinnitus, but only recently joined to post some suggestions. I thought might as well introduce myself while I'm at it. So first off I want to say that I'm 22 and I have gotten tinnitus only once before this when a firecracker blew...

...(acoustic trauma)(e.g., a kiss on the ear, a slap, being near a loud speaker); ototoxic medication; TMJ; ear being hurt at the dentist, by an ultrasonic teeth cleaning tool, during microsuction, by pouring hydrogen peroxide into an ear that has an eardrum with a small hole in it; a head trauma.

Does anyone have anything like wavering craziness come on post head tapping or am I that special? The following is an accurate re-creation of what I hear. I hear it in one ear only (a tiny bit on the other). Please lower your volume and slowly increase until you can comfortably hear it! It...

How do you know if you have hyperacausis?

Ototoxic medicines and acoustic trauma both kill hair cells/synapses and count as hearing loss. 1 & 3 are in the same category, even aspects of TMD are.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve decided not to go ahead with getting grommets. There’s definitely both an ear-related and psychiatric component to all of this. Fortunately, my best mate is a psychiatrist, and he's helped me with some medication for sleep. On three occasions now, the tinnitus has...

I’m always glad when I see that you’ve replied to my posts. Your insight and wisdom are consistently grounding and encouraging. Your reply came at a good time too, since this week has been especially difficult. I recently found out that I’ll need to have a scheduled delivery three weeks earlier...

Don't worry, you're not alone, eric and few others including myself sometime are having the same buzzing in our head, i believe the neurons are simply lost and have an erratic activity a bit like people having flash in their brains after head trauma...

Bad bike accident in July...landed on my the side of my head/neck and left shoulder. Broken clavicle and cracked ribs. No observed head trauma...helmet did it's job. Came down with the flu after running a marathon in October. ER in December...CT showed a BAD sinus infection. Drugs knocked it...

I had helmet on, I didn't had any head injury as far as I know. Hearing test is fine upto 8KHz. Only thing I suspect is earphones and anesthesia.

When did this all start Christoph?And any clues as to why it happened? Head trauma,loud noise or excessive noise,medications things like that?

Hi Valeri: Hypersensitivity from stress, non hypertension and non physical head/neck/jaw/facial, mouth trauma, can accompany brain fog, headaches, electrical static in head, scalp tenderness, ear muscle vibrations. More so from sudden noise hearing loss/hyperacusis. To keep nutrients working...

Thank you, @Michael Leigh. May I ask why you decided to see an ENT for the first time after your symptoms had cleared up rather than at the onset when you also sought help from an herbalist? By the way, your hyperacusis thread is very informative. I also believe that exposing your ears to...

Sounds quite a bit like my case. Did you happen to have some kind of neck/head trauma before your T set in? There are some situations where noise is not the trigger.

How is your T now?

Too many factors to consider. But in the interest of sharing information, I will attach a research paper on trauma induced tinnitus. A standard and basic starting point is a hearing test: along with tinnitus, head injuries can cause hearing loss. There are specific ways trauma induced hearing...

@Brian meadows Did you have any hearing loss associated to the head trauma from the surfing accident? High frequencies can get affected easily.

...to you getting sick. Don’t think the worst of it. Short term episodes especially when you are sick are probably nothing to worry about. Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are better. Do you think it was acoustic trauma from the sound or something like a head trauma that caused it?

head trauma is a suspect

If your doctor verified that there is head trauma, then it's not just he said she said. Would your doctor be able to testify that it was the trauma that caused all your problems? My tinnitus was caused by someone else too, no legal recourse in my case, but it doesn't sound as severe as yours.

Yes, i have the clicking But it just start, No reaction to sounds. I have no H. Got the clicking from a head trauma. Are you looking into surgery?

@Shera Do you grind your teeth? Have you had any treatment for TMJ and neck from head injury to relieve those problems? I have head trauma from a dental experience where pressure was pressed on my front lower jaw and neck. Since then I grind my teeth.

Of course, I have a tendency to be wrong, but I'm thinking the stomp I did caused some head trauma or something because I did have a headache after... scared:(

Hi! I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this for 15 months. I’m just starting month 8 and I really hope it clears up soon. The first six months were hellish, but the last two months I’ve been making steady progress. Can I ask what you’ve tried in terms of treatment? Are you using sound...

What do you think could be causing this low pitch tinnitus then? I noticed it very soon after the fit of rage. I didn't shout that loud or a long amount of time... but still I have this tinnitus from after that anger outburst? I'm starting to get concerned that I damaged something in my ear...

Thank you for the kind words and advice; there is one thing I keep ruminating about. Before the tinnitus turned into dysacusis, I was using this video by a channel called “Art of Zen” called “Ultra High Pitch Tinnitus Therapy.” DO NOT check it out without setting the volume WAY down, as I...

32 weeks from Acoustic Trauma (May 2021) -Vertigo/Dizziness started 5 days after 1st vaccine & resolved/13 days after 2nd vaccine -12th day at home with vertigo/dizziness, improving slowly -10 days on steroid pack -Head/neck pain -Increased tinnitus back to ringing/static -Hyperacusis is still...

Hello, I am a single woman in my mid-50s with very little history of noise exposure. Life was great, but things changed last August 6. I took a lesson at an indoor firing range while wearing earmuff hearing protection, but I did not know I should double up with earplugs. During the lesson...

Bonjour Pierre, Honestly, I don't know where to draw the line between loudness hyperacusis and pain hyperacusis. After my initial incident, noises in places like restaurants, walking on the street, or even singing birds seemed far too loud for me. If something is too loud, it hurts. Your body...

If your head trauma was 24 years ago, i wouldn't assume it's related (unless you have neck issues since or jaw misalignment in which case it might be). From everything I have read, low tones often don't have the usual causes and it is worth a full work up to rule out things like hydrops...

Hi , Sorry you haven't had a reply yet but head trauma can cause tinnitus . Hope over time it might go away...keep checking for replies.....lots of love glynis

...Listed problems that are known to cause tinnitus 1 :Hearing loss: acoustic trauma, ototoxic drugs, loud music, ear infection, middle ear bone damage, ear drum burst, ear wax 2: Neck/Jaw tinnitus : TMD, TMJ, Neck Jaw spine problems, Cervical issues. 3: Head trauma:, TBI, brain tumor...

I'm not sure about that. I have no history of head trauma and I can't think of anything I've done that could've damaged my cochlea. Yet I have this hellish thing. I'm trying to hold on in hopes of some form of treatment coming soon, but it's hard, to say the least. It does just stop sometimes...

...suicidal), can you please describe your tinnitus - How does it sound like (places you hear it/maskability, # of sounds) and probable cause (noise, drugs, head trauma). Mine: 9+/10 Cause- noise trauma Characteristic - heard everywhere, masked only by shower, multi-tone jet engine type sound.

@Tweaker How did you get your tinnitus, if you do not mind me asking. Acoustic trauma/noise exposure/hearing loss or head/neck/neck/TMJ injury, or another cause?

It could very well be due to allergies. Did you have recently any head or neck trauma (whiplash e.g.) or do you work in a noisy work environment (a hidden hearing loss)?

Thanks Andre, and some interesting info there. I am not sure if my issues are the same as yours as I haven't sustained any head trauma that may cause it.

Stop wearing head-phones if you have suffered from acoustic trauma. I learned the hard way as well, even if set at a low volume headphones can still do more damage.

@object16 Just wanted to add the great potential of T also being a result of mental trauma and stress that doesn't need to have anything to do with exposure to loud noises and/or acoustic shock. Seems like the auditory cortex and the inner ear can be damaged by an overflow of stress hormones...

Noise induced tinnitus Ototoxicity induced tinnitus Head trauma induced tinnitus Age related hearing loss induced tinnitus

As far as you know/what's been reported. Blunt force trauma to the head being regularly used to detain suspects? That has to have had killed someone, statistically speaking.

I did not have head trauma. I don't know why I got tinnitus but it is possibly from over-exposure to noise. Assuming the reason for my tinnitus is repeat over-exposures to noise, but that I don't have much hearing loss even in the higher frequencies, what are the chances of my tinnitus going away?

Almost the same here. First trauma in 2004, second one in 2015 and permanent huge increase. 20dB to 60dB hearing loss. So I'll read your posts about LLLT with interest.

Does anyone know if FX-322 might treat hearing loss caused by a head trauma? I read somewhere that an impact to the head can cause additional damage to the cochlea besides dead/damaged hair cells. A quick intro: I am a 57-year-old male and endured a car driving into the left side of my head...

Many interesting papers. COFRE paper (#2) would help identify where tinnitus is coming from, and perhaps, lead to more scientific breakthroughs in determining origin to address the devastating problem. My tinnitus is trauma-induced, and is constant since my accident with head and neck trauma...

I think the perception of tinnitus possibly can also depend on the original cause eg. noise induced, ototoxicity induced (which can affect both the cochlea and the auditory nerve), head trauma, etc.

Hello everyone, the name is Shaqz and I finally had the balls to post about my tinnitus two month later... My silence vanished on December 10th after a concert where the VIP stage was literally right next to the speakers. The stage was shaped where it was the speakers, the VIP stage, then the...

Hello guys. Something very strange happened to me 4 months ago. I got up and got a hard hurting punch in my head without any head trauma symptoms but I felt a strange noise and my ear got stuck right after this. My doc said I have wax and it must be removed. I got my bloody tinnitus 3 days...
