Do you still have the low hum in both ears? You said your pulsatile tinnitus was eliminated by Tenotomy, correct?

I have has tinnitus now for nearly a year. It started out of the blue one morning (no load noises or anything) in my right ear. Doctors all said it was infection, usuall round of antibiotics with no change. I eventually saw an ENT doctor who did steriod injections in the ear drum. It got...

What's it sound like? Especially in the morning is a big question of mine. Ringing? Seashellish? Low humming? Can't they offer you endolymphatic shunts if nothing else is working to at least keep you from going deaf? Do you have vertigo or just unsteady? Is the tinnitus in both ears?

I don't know too much about residual inhibition but I didn't think it would explain tinnitus suppression over a period of days (I thought it was more temporary). A lot of people on this forum with low frequency tinnitus seem to have this feature where their humming noise can be suppressed after...

...approaches: Progressive muscle relaxation, especially focusing on the jaw, neck, and shoulders. Vagus nerve activation techniques, like slow humming or deep breathing. Low-dose Magnesium, preferably glycinate or citrate, which some people find helpful for muscle spasms like MEM. I'm...

I’m in the U.K. I feel so flat. I’ve gone back to square one. The low-frequency humming is low but then gets louder; it’s hideous and it is intrusive. It stresses me out to a point I feel sick. I didn’t sleep last night. Lay awake nervous and the noise louder to a point my head was...

@Aaron44126 : hello aaron did your T go away? Mine is just a low humming sound on my right ear from clogged ear 4 weeks ago.

I have this noise too, and I’m a mum. Actually I have two low humming sounds together with my high pitch noises. It’s making me worried. I just hope they will go away :(

I don't know how exactly others' sound like, mine sounds like a mix of a washing machine, a foghorn and a timpani drum with a humming/buzzing quality to it, hard to explain. Mine is situated in the left ear clearly, but it wandered for a couple of days to my right ear last fall. I don't hear it...

So I noticed my pulsating humming in my ear goes away for a bit when I apply heat to the painful area of my jaw.....when the heat is not applied anymore the sound comes back....why why why???? Why or how is the sound going away from this?? I sound i hear is a very very low tone, humming sound...

I had acoustic incident in April - 4 weeks later I woke up with the low humming tinnitus that you describe in my right ear. First 3 weeks were dreadful. After a while I started noticing how this beast behaves and indeed: it stops when people were talking to me, took a long car ride to hospital...

i had low humming come and go for years. No answers as to why. Possible hydrops, They don't know for sure. Good luck, I hope it clears.

Interesting. The low hum is very loud and disturbing to me. It engulfs my whole head like if I'm inside a wind tunnel and I can hear it all day not just at bed time. :(

...a couple days ago I got extremely angry about T again and was really grinding my teeth and jaws super hard (stupidly) What does this low humming mean if anything? Any ideas? I have been diagnosed with TMJ, my jaws hurt and my ears itch a lot lately but Dr says no infection. I appreciate...

Just something I'm doing at night that may help other people. Sleep on your arm (see image below for illustration). I'll explain (bear with me as it is a bit hard to explain and it sounds a bit loco but it works). Most people with low frequency tinnitus can stop the humming by putting a...

@Rachel78 I had a low humming noise on and off for a week only. It has not returned. So yes, there is definitely hope. Stay strong. X

Thanks for this. Did you get a diagnosis of tensor tympani syndrome? I've not heard of it before. Am I right in saying it eventually subsided for you? I can see why the anxiety would exacerbate it for sure. I'm trying to keep calm as much as possible for the short term. That is bizarre. I can...

I have 3 or 4 tones, one at 15khz, one at about 10khz, a wooshing noise and a low humming which vibrates my head - I only hear that in silence.

...damage that is causing our other tinnitus and hyperacusis. Dr. De Ridder and all the other specialists have no clue what is causing the low humming tinnitus, but congestion and inflammation probably is not it (unless you are very, very lucky). Search for "low frequency tinnitus" on this...

Hey, a few questions for you regarding your low hum! What kind of level of hearing loss do you have and at what frequency? Is you hum around the same frequency or below 100 Hz? Does it cut in and out with other low sounds or is it constant no matter what?

I didn't know there was such a thing as low frequency tinnitus until reading this forum. I've been hearing this oscillating humming noise and thought it was a/c compressors or mechanical noise. I was hearing it this morning as I went from room to room expecting it to change but it didn't. Then...

If it's any consolation, I too have the low end that comes and goes, and goes away when shaking my head or the right noise frequency cuts it out. Humming or talking stops it but it returns instantly when I sstop. Frustrating but comforting that we all have this exact same thing. Clearly there's...

I feel that prolonged exposure at those levels could be harmful. But it really depends on the individual.

Yes, unfortunately this is how I developed a low humming Tinnitus on my right ear. I'd recommend seeing a ENT and possibly asking for some oral steroids and or steroid injection. Try your best to avoid coughing! Eat some garlic and take magnesium.

No idea, sorry. It sucks that it’s so under researched / no one has a clue or cares about it as a condition.

In terms of coming and going, yes. The bizarre thing is that I only noticed it post-stapedotomy. It could have been there pre-stapedotomy too, just covered by the pre-op tinnitus (it used to cover a wider range of frequencies) and thus, not as noticeable. Now, there aren't that many tests that...

I think the Morse code sound you are hearing over other noises is dysacusis. I have just developed this as well. I am four months into tinnitus caused by fluid in my ears. My regular tinnitus has subsided by about 99 percent, but over the last three weeks I have developed dysacusis. I now get a...

@nills @Mark Griffin How are you guys doing these days?? Is the hum still there or did you find something to relief it? Hope you are well. :)

@Mike34 Yesterday the humming was sooo low. It was beautiful. Today is back...with a headache...sigh. When will this stop?? (Dear Lord have mercy. ) Hope you continue to improve.

I had humming in my head and I was lucky it went away when put on a low dose Antidepressant Nortriptyline 50mg. I found a utube video Tinnitus masking by Easyjet helpful too ! Love glynis

I have also been suffering from tinnitus, which I believe is due to Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by acid reflux. Although I’ve had tinnitus for a few years now, it has gotten moderately worse since the reflux started several months ago. I caught pneumonia back in October/November last...

I sympathize with you, as this is where I've been as well for the past eight years. My reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis dictate my life. My high-frequency, multi-tonal, discordant tinnitus is a nightmare that is only getting worse the older I get. I've accepted that this is my tinnitus and am...

@Agrajag364 : hello i was wondering how is your T? Mine T was always a low humming not that high pitch.... what are the stages of tinnitus before it start to fade away?

@Travis Henry was right when he said tinnitus has no limits. My high-frequency variable tinnitus has gotten worse in recent weeks; I suspect it is due to occasional Benzo use after the medication leaves the system. I have more bad days and fewer bad days. Time has not given me any benefit over...

Hi @Sugarpuddle. I understand that your experience was different from mine in the fact that you didn't have tinnitus before, I just wanted to be clear what my experience of taking Cefalexin was. I can't definitively say it was the antibiotic but there was a quick jump in the level of tinnitus...

@alleycat : does your T spike up after u eat or chew? I was recently dx with TMJ my ringing is more of a low humming. 5 weeks now. Do you still have T?

In addition to the ringing which affects both ears, I have a low but fairly prominent humming noise thats only present in my right ear, sort of like an engine. Is this common or...what?

If you get spikes/full ear sensation after driving this car, then listen to your body - it is too loud. Otherwise, enjoy driving this car.

I have forward head posture and straightened lordosis. Very, very rarely my ears are slightly clogged without any apparent reason, but I'm not sure I would even notice if I wasn't focusing all the time on my ears. On the other hand, before the penultimate bout of the low drone (mine is not...

I have regular s****y tinnitus but I do have experience of temporary low level humming tinnitus too. For me vibration in my body causes it so it starts if I walk excessively or drive for a few hours, it gets worse and worse (over time) until I stop doing these activities as much and then the...

Low hum can disappear for a day after a long bus ride, too.

it's confirmed that the humming is not in my head but external. i spent a sunny week on a carribean vaca and NO HUM. came back home last night and hmmmmmmmmm all around. very low but it's there.

What’s this seashell you talking about? Got a noise clip?

Tinnitus is unpredictable. It can improve, worsen, change pitch, etc. For some people even what they eat, the exercise they do, etc can have an impact on tinnitus.

...neurons in the DCN where somatosensory input occurs too. I can intensify my tinnitus by any jaw movement or lip movement or by pressing on my face. I also developed bilateral low humming after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. On top of that I have a pulsatile hiss. Not pleasant. Hope yours...

I'm not even sure this counts as "tinnitus", but I figured the term is just used for hearing distortions in general. I just woke up with this last Monday. I'm not remotely sick. I breathe easily through my nose. No sign of sinus anything. Anyway, it's as I described in the title. What's weird...

I'm sorry. Hoping for the best for you (and all of us).

@Frayact, sorry to hear that the humming is bothering you so much. That’s good it goes away for years at a time and let’s hope it does again soon. Ya, it’s the feeling aspects that make my tinnitus so bad. If the high frequency stuff was just sounds and not physical feelings, too, I’d be okay...

...hum, and I would like to know if maybe you have observed something similar in regards to your low tinnitus noise. First of all, my low humming or buzzing noise is there all the time. However, I have noticed that over the course of the day it infrequently seems to get some kind of an extra...

Whenever I have a flu or even a slightly soar throat/running nose I get this weird low humming in my ears that has left once my health gets better. It could be that the effect is temporary.

...I did the MRI of neck, TMJ and brain. Neck MRI showed early spondylosis due to bad posture. Not sure if that is the cause. Before this low humming started, I had muffled hearing for couple of weeks. Based on the symptoms doctor suspected the ETD but my eardrum and all the reports were normal...

When you press your palm against your ear, you don’t hear a low roar? Like the ocean? That’s what I mean by vibration.

Several years ago I started to experience a low level hum, like a lorry engine idling outside somewhere. Anyho, I figured it was just another new noise but I'm convinced it's related to blood pressure. I hear it predominantly in my right ear. It's been known to come and go. Recently it's...

I've endured a journey through hell since making the above post. Although I'm not fully healed, I can confidently say that I'm no longer plagued by suicidal thoughts or confined to my restroom. I'm gradually reintegrating myself into the world, stepping out once more. The intensity of the tones...

I have it too in my right ear. It’ll get louder if I tap on the affected ear.

Hi @HootOwl , thanks for your response on the low frequency humming post. My doctor said that I need to stop ginko as it may be having an affect on kidneys. Not sure if that's true but I'm gonna listen. I found that if I put my ear plugs in the humming goes away. I also did a kettlebell home...

Yes, I can 100% relate to this. You have been through an "acoustic trauma", due to your previous fragile ears. This has happened to me as well - pretty much feeling exactly the same way you described it in the quote. There is also a great component of stress and anxiety mixed into this, which...

My tinnitus is louder in bed and dependent on position too. Any ideas why this happens?

Thank you for your thoughts! I'm definitely moving soon. It's 24/7 humming, well not exact. It usually dies down around 12 am.

I drive a 392 hemi dodge challenger, its a LOUD car, but i love it and enjoy it...
