    Living with Loud Tinnitus

    Well i would just say any medium pitch tinnitus (not the super high pitch 15Khz+T) that can easily be heard outdoors over traffic, I would say starts at around 25dB. 60dB tinnitus would be an extremely loud tinnitus- like you would have difficulty hearing conversation (not sure if that even...

    New 'Rumbling' Like Tinnitus

    From what I know about sound and tinnitus, and as you mentioned, one reason why you're hearing that is some kind of vascular condition you've acquired, maybe from a change in diet or something else. Otherwise, I have a theory on the low rumbling part myself; low frequency noise exposure. My...

    New Humming Sound Added to the Collection of My Tinnitus Sounds

    Yes I posted about hearing a droning sound recently. Oddly enough a couple of other people in my neighborhood said they had started hearing it aswell. I wondered if it was external or not as blocking my ears stopped it. Still don't know but it's not so bad now or I'm just better at ignoring it...

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

    If I may ask, that low tone, when did you gain it? My T has changed a bit lately. I lost some sounds (a ring that went from left to right and a loud car hissing for example) but I gained a low tone. It's not there the entire day but it comes and goes during the day and it cycles between a...

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

    Hey was your fleeting tinnitus lower in frequency? I’ve never had low fleeting around 800 Hz-1 kHz until this last year in which I developed the hum.

    Chirping Tinnitus. Only 14!

    My tinnitus started back in 2017 after months of clearing my ears with water and listening to loud music. It sounded like a car driving past in the distance, like a buzzing, humming sound, but it went away after a while. Since then I have had many forms of tinnitus, beeping, high pitched...

    Anyone with Tinnitus Here DJ/Mix Vinyl at Home?

    I've been a wedding DJ for 27 years. Once I open the dance floor, my earplugs go in. I use the cylindrical type that you roll up and that expand in your ear. I acquired tinnitus in April 1996, but I had no hearing loss. When I had it checked three years ago, my ENT said my hearing was...

    Just Wanted to Say Hi

    Anything docs can't explain is caused by stress.:) Try to follow the diagnosis flowchart. It may lead you somewhere. Did you do a hearing test? Do you have an audiogram?

    Suicidal

    I have no idea what caused the relapse. It's happened before; I'll go several years without any sign of the humming noise, and then it will show up from out of the blue. Like you, I also feel my low tinnitus. It's like a vibration or fluttering somewhere in my head and ears. My high-pitched...

    Fast Onset of Tinnitus and Hyperacusis — Can Anxiety Cause This?

    Welcome to the forum. You have my empathy as new tinnitus is often a shock and struggle. I may not have the same causes of tinnitus as you but I do have a low roaring humming tinnitus on my deaf left ear and a high pitch scream on the right. It is like I have a duet of a bass and a tenor 7/24...

    Oticon More™ Hearing Aids Silenced My Friend's Tinnitus

    My regular drone sits at 80 Hz. On some days it drops lower for a few seconds and then it suddenly sits around 65 Hz. In the mornings it is a bit higher and is more in the head than in the ear. The byproduct theory is based on a couple things: 1) All the specialists I saw said it was in fact...

    Oticon More™ Hearing Aids Silenced My Friend's Tinnitus

    Near perfect hearing on those simple audiograms, yes (not a single frequency goes below 20 dB) - I guess my drone is lower than 125 Hz (that's the lowest they are testing here on audiograms), -20 dB in left ear at 125 Hz - still my drone is in the right ear, -20 dB in both ears at 4000 Hz too...

    Low-Pitched Humming = Meniere's?

    Hey Sorry to hear! I think it’s safe to say it will disappear again and it’s great that it has so many times. So it’s always been both ears from day 1 for you?

    Let's Get to the Bottom of This Humming!

    Wow, interesting story. So it used to be a lot louder and now is mostly non-existent? A lot of people with the hum got it after an acoustic trauma or lots of loud sounds which led me to believe it was some uncommon form of damage, whether that be to the nerve of Tensor Tympani muscle or outer...

    Challenging the Current Terminology of Hyperacusis

    ...What I don't get, and don't know how to categorize, is when reactivity happens nowhere near the actual pitch of the sound. Any low humming in the real world agitates my ultra-high hissing/squealing. I don't think it's mechanical (eardrum/middle ear) because the hissing is all over the...

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

    I also have had a low frequency hum for 2 years now. It sounds exactly like there´s a faint sound of a car engine somewhere outside near my house. The sound stops when I shake my head, and returns in a second when I stop. The hum also goes away or the volume goes down to minimum after a night...

    Neck and Jaw Issues — Would Heat and Muscle Relaxers Be Helpful?

    Blood pressure change of the carotid artery - pre hypertension moments that usually only last a few minutes. Constant worry and anxiety about loud noises can also cause the tensor tympani muscle to become overly active. This is supported in almost all newer studies...

    I Rather Not Be Here Than Hear This Loud Scary Sound :(

    Hi, @kelsey, Yes, I think a CTA would be a good idea, to see if anything can be found. I'm not sure what could be causing the low humming along with the pulsating. Did it start suddenly, or come on gradually? Have you been to a neurotologist, or only to an ENT? You might want to try going to...

    Low-Pitched Humming / Droning / Rumbling Tinnitus — Mostly Triggered by Low-Pitched Sounds

    I started hearing a typical high-pitched hissing in my head back in 1996. A few months later, a low-frequency hum was added to the mix. I eventually habituated to the higher frequency, but the humming completely changed my life for the worst. I could only sleep a few hours a night as it sounded...

    Tinnitus for 3 Weeks from TMJ

    Hey @Juha, I would describe mine exactly the way you have described yours. 100%. Welcome! In terms of inhibition mine fluctuates but almost always after I go out to bars(with ear plugs) or drive for hours it is inhibited for a few days. Yours might react that way if you experience longer bass...

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

    I would say that the fact you are losing the "higher" pitched rings/hiss is a very good sign. Your T is fading. My lower tone also comes and goes, sometimes totally unnoticeable, and sometimes very noticeable. My lower tone has improved in the last week, I have a theory as to why. My ears have...

    Tinnitus (?) in My Right Ear That's Like Constant Low Bass/Treble; Presumably Connected to My Jaw
