Thank you very much for all this information! :) That's a lot of information to digest all at once, ahah. My "normal" tinnitus is due to a sound trauma, but it is somatic. When I said I hit my head, it was when I was a kid, like everyone else hits their head, I never went to the hospital for...

Your trauma wasn't that severe as mine, I was in a loud concert. Already went to more than 4 ENTs. MRI, CT Scan normal. No infection.

My guess is that fleeting tinnitus is early trauma. Modern life is very noisy and it's very likely that everybody gets damages. Now that everybody has it they call it normal. I have had tinnitus for a long time and I got at least 3 times more fleeting tinnitus on my 'worst ear' regarding...

@Grete, how did you have your earwax removed? I have tinnitus with hyperacusis from over a week now. It was caused by caloric test (blowing hot air in both ears for a minute). Since then I had my ears a bit deafened for two days but this subsided. However, the noise in the head , the sensitivity...

It's appears that neck muscle spasms straighten your C spine and all your problems mentioned in MRI is a result from this. Progression of your straighten neck and association to your MRI notes, may indicate that a single event is responsible, but you may had back, shoulder and neck spasms...

SSHL can be caused by almost everything. An acoustic trauma is a cause of SSHL. As soon as there is damage or irritation you have a hearing loss. For instance, malformation of the inner ear head injury or trauma loud-noise exposure neurologic conditions immune system diseases Ménière’s...

I'm sure I've read this information on a study about HIFU but I don't remember where...regarding my story,I had an acoustic trauma nine months ago (while listening to loud music) with first tinnitus onset in the right ear and a slight hearing loss at 4k hertz. They disappeared with some steroid...

Head and ear are similar. Same area and I can still have had a concussion and not know it. Either way if my ringing is now 30-40 DB is that a good sign it will for sure fade to something quieter?

Yeah, they all say hearing loss caused it seems. You wonder if it's compressed nerves in upper neck or possibly muscle spasms?

...tinnitus in both ears for 20+ years. I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease 15 years ago. Hypothesis is the disease was brought on by head trauma, specifically multiple concussions from years of riding bulls. While it is not completely definitive that's what various doctors and specialists...

Is somatic tinnitus something we should be worrying about? I mean, we chew our food with our jaw, tighten our neck muscles when we look left or right etc. Are the tinnitus noises caused by the somatic aspect going to make our overall tinnitus problem worse? As in, push our baselines forward if...

I'm saying hearing loss causes tinnitus based on this research. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208401/

Do you have a history of loud noise, headphones, loud cars? Any medications recently before tinnitus? Any head trauma, TMD, trigeminal nerve issues, cervical issues? Genetic hearing loss in the family?

Please , can you describe at how many ATAs where your sessions ?

My instinct regarding sound exposure is to take reasonable precautions, which will vary depending on one’s personal situation. For those with hyperacusis, more rigorous protection is necessary. Similarly, for those with reactive tinnitus, additional precautions are also important. For me...

@binsonica What you describe is the same with me. I had loss of normal lordosis from muscle trapezius spasm trauma and jaw pressure - whiplash. Bones are normal without fracture and soft tissues are within normal limits. This is often the case. My noted arthritis could be a secondary factor...

At this point I would settle for not waking up everyday like I was in a car crash and am waking for from massive head trauma. I seriously would be ok with a tone running constantly if it was somewhat localized to my ears and not piercing my brain, so in essence I would gladly pay for an...

Is your notch bilateral or unilateral? I saw in your introductory thread that you think an impact to your head/ear could have contributed to your issues. If the hearing loss is only on the side of impact, my hunch is that it could hint towards physical damage. I'm not a doctor nor a health...

I’ve been reading posts online for a few months. And I’d like to thank you for all your postings and stories. I think that it’s finally time for me to write. It’s been almost three months. I’m an academic, I’m used to silence. I sit, I read, I write and I occasionally lecture. That’s pretty...

I am right there with you, except in your case I really don't think that there is any cause for concern. You are so young. Most people don't get Meniere's until they are much older. Plus, what you have described sounds like Labyrintitis. Have you had any head or neck trauma that might make...

Prednisone can cause headache but it's also used to treat elevated intracranial pressure. Like the others said, it will probably fade over time. What was the trauma exactly? Some are worse than others.

Damn. After my acoustic trauma, I got ear fullness. I did Valsalva maneuver numerous times. 11 days after my acoustic trauma, I got T. Reading the above, makes me suspect that I might have given myself the gift of T by doing that Valsalva maneuver......................

Hello Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to go through my old posts to help me. I really appreciate it. I believe my first experience with tinnitus was due to cervical problems (I have a protrusion), which would explain all the symptoms I had at the time. My ENT...

...hairs in ears were working fine too. My jaw clicks sometimes but no pain so my physiotherapist and dentist ruled TMJ dysfunction out. No head trauma (I mean I fell sometimes as a child but I think that's normal lol). As far as cervical issues, my c1 and c2 are rotated (c2 by 14 degrees) but...

The last few days, I've been in severe pain from just previous moderate pain on left side - both top and bottom of oral cavity that is also causing ear pain, fullness and some hyperacusis. I do have oral infection that antibiotics have not solved. Discussion reasons: Infection - crestal...

...high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma/shock (other sounds not necessarily from music), head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's Decease, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as during landing...

It is all over the place and fluctuates by the minute and seems to be extremely responsive to body posture. For example, sitting down with head forward it will slowly increase over time, but does not do the same with standing. During cardio it whooshes/pounds/screeches with my cadence and ground...

...for a walk everyday. My question is can you give me any advice to complete six week 'bed rest' successfully and should I even be going for a walk everyday or should I remain completely sedentary? Also, have I left bed rest too late given it's nearly three months since my head trauma? Thanks.

@Steve G Hi Steve: I have somatic electrical noise with a pulse. Sometimes it will be focused on my left side around the temple. Many with somatic tinnitus will have symptomatic tension signals from toughened muscles in the innervation area of the sensory trigeminal nerve related to the acoustic...

...the jarring motion of driving on an uneven surface shook up my tinnitus. It happens if I bang my head accidentally as well or other such head trauma... I researched the side effects of Pepsi and aspercreme, and both have tinnitus as a side effect over long term use. I believe these...

...up, followed by neck pain, dental procedures, jaw/pain, sciatica pain and self cleaning of ears. Data about the use of drug medication, head trauma, genetics, blood vessels, bones in ears is unknown. Age factors differ according to cause. It's interesting that neck and jaw pain often...

...and I really wish things turn out better for you soon. Was there anything that could have triggered this? Acoustic trauma, medication, head trauma or something? The worst feeling is not knowing what's happening and hopefully a doctor will be able to diagnose and treat this sudden condition...

Maybe you're developing musical tinnitus? It's a weird story, but I've heard that some people hear songs all day long after noise trauma. Come on Eileen sounds more pleasant to have than the sound of an airplane or a train that is consistently hitting the breaks o_O .

...to stay. How much hearing loss did the audiogram show? Was there a change in tone? Assuming that there was no medication, infections, head trauma, acoustic trauma, blood clots, TMJD, etc, my best guess is that you had much louder tinnitus to begin with but the thalamic reticular nucleus...

Hello Bill, It started in November last year just 2 weeks before my 30 birthday... What a gift... No trauma or hearing loss, and I didn't take any medication at that time... But I am a very nervous and anxious person so I think it is because of that ! Nowadays I am suicidal, besides I take...

Oh, I know I have tinnitus, that was diagnosed. I said the cause of it is unknown. I have health issues which may have caused it, but I never had head trauma or prolonged exposure to loud noise.

I will admit that I laughed aloud at the visual of a sound wave traveling through an entire neighborhood all from a dropped shower head. Seems almost like a tinnitus comic: no one knew my pain, so I dropped my shower head and now everyone knows my pain. Honestly, sometimes I also have to laugh...

Any medications that were possibly ototoxic? Neck, jaw problems? Head trauma? Genetic hearing loss in the family? Those are the major components.

Yes I am progressively worsening, it could be due to all sorts of things, meds, noise, stress, head trauma, anything that affects the brain, because it's a brain thing and the brain latches on to every hearing loss, that's why new tones keep popping up. It's brain damage, but in the auditory...

Thank you for sharing your story. I suffered acoustic trauma from an MRI that reached 130 dB, even with my earplugs in. I’ve noticed all the same symptoms you have. However, my hyperacusis seems to be even more severe—restaurants with clattering dishes are unbearable for me. Two months in, I’m...

Interesting. About 15 or so years ago I got the low rumbling truck engine ticking over on idle sound when I used a foam earplug to block out a neighbour's dog barking at 6 am every day. That noise then used to only come out for a month or so when I was sick with a cold. I would do everything to...

I had this the other night on a particularly chilly evening. I breathed in through my mouth, but I could instantly feel the breeze from my mouth to my ear, which has been symptomatic from an acoustic trauma in June. I dunno, maybe that incident shook up my eustachian tube like crazy. Who knows...

The only thing consistent with tinnitus is inconsistency. I think going to a restaurant is too uncontrolled to be safe for someone with relatively new tinnitus, but you will find your limits by experience. The hard thing for me was linking the experience to my tinnitus level, as there was...

@PatrickG , Karma decided a blunt forced trauma to my skull with a metal rod was due. Two months later, T suddenly started when I lay down in bed and never stopped. I've severe hearing loss in one ear plus multiple reactive noises. Still, I try to do some martial arts. Though, no direct blows...

...part in any research or you get any other news from Professor Rauschecker. My Tinnitus was also probably caused by a virus/cold or a head trauma, nontheless i would absolutely advice you to wear earplugs to any loud events (to at least prevent your hearing from getting any worse). Wish you...

@Nick Pyzik Thanks for your post but you lost me in some of your thoughts.Stop the ringing,but the problem will still be there?. We lost our younger self?. I could be wrong,but are you saying that our emotions are a cause of T ?. What about the stories of loud music,head trauma etc.. causing T?.

Indeed. But maybe it is about gradual vs. sudden onset, i.e. the theory that gradual hearing loss allows the brain to adjust. It's the sudden (due to noise trauma) loss that makes the brain go haywire. And people's tolerances may vary here. I had a fair amount of noise exposure in my youth -...

@Screamin Ears Screamin Ears My neuro believes that I have occipital neuralgia which resulted from dental trauma. Occipital neuralgia can also be caused by whiplash such as with a car accident or by lifting. It's caused by a pinched nerve in the neck or by tight muscles at the back of the...

Could I get in if I am from New Zealand with SNHL?

We only suspect he did. Hopefully they do a good job screening.

...left ear drum vibrates sometimes and I can hear and feel it. It's so random tho.. like few times a week only. I have T in both ears from head trauma. However I'm not concerned about ear drum random vibration.. it's the least of my worries.. My ENT has checked everything and got inner ear...

Mike.. sorry to hear about your 2nd accident. That's what I'm afraid of.. another head trauma and my T will spike. That's why I stay mostly home on weekends. My T has gone down especially after lumbar puncture. I only hear T at night when trying to sleep and in quite rooms... but that could...

Weirdly, I actually find relief in louder environments. My T is idiopathic (not noise or trauma induced), so I have no pain or actual ear damage. The noise is all coming from my brain. So louder environments, like the market, actually help me to forget about the ringing. It drowns out the noise...

Good day everyone, I've had acoustic trauma induced tinnitus since November 21st, 2020. These last two weeks my dizziness and eye pain has taken a toll. I went to the eye doctor, and she confirmed my eye health looks good. However, recently I've felt dizziness and a ton of head pressure...

60 mg is standard dosage for sudden hearing loss. Vitamin A, C, E, Magnesium, + NAC may be helpful. Free radical scavengers, vitamins A, C, and E, plus magnesium reduces noise trauma Vitamins A, C, and E and selenium in the treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss Vitamin E...

...biased. There are many etiologies to tinnitus and the co-morbidities, and they can be combined to muddy it further up. Your profile says "head trauma," which is very different from noise-induced tinnitus, especially when combined with benzo withdrawal. I'd prefer that further personal...

This I think shows more than anything that tinnitus is more of a brain problem than ear problem. It may start with the ear, like an injury for example, but the noise is generated and sustained by the brain. I see that you have indicated that your tinnitus was caused by head injury and acoustic...
