Mine is similar to this. It sounds like a car idling in my head. I can actually feel it. But only in silence, like when trying to sleep, of course.

It's so strange that more and more people talk about this weird tinnitus. I had it in 2016, 2017, 2019, each time around 1-3 weeks. Low, buzzing, humming, idle motor like sound, only in my left ear, awfully low in frequency, but awfully loud in volume. And it felt like that it was actually...

Hi Shasta, I don't really hear it much when outside or in a car. I haven't put an earplug in as don't want to make anything worse. External noise does seem to mask it.

@Ben Winders, it’s OK. I know this is a possibility. When this happened to you, was it caused by any loud sound or new damage? Did it just happen randomly? I’m wondering if steroids would be helpful. Definitely not something I want to take unless absolutely necessary. I had a Tele consult with...

@DaveO High-pitched tinnitus is "easy" to diagnose because it's almost invariably tied, to some extent, to high frequency hearing loss -- which typically occurs before low-frequency loss. However, low-frequency "humming" T can certainly be a symptom of low frequency loss (I think this is what...

If you live in a nation with socialized medicine and you must wait a year for a simple hearing test, then that is a warning to Americans. Here you may have to pay for it, but you can schedule a hearing test for the same day with an audiologist. Wait a year? OMG. I have the humming all the...

I guess this could be true. I am a little skeptical that the solution is so easy but it’s possible. The TMJ could impact the Eustachian tubes and that one cause but in reality it much more complicated than this. My low drone had gone away and now it’s back along with hyperacusis after a chiro...

It's natural to pay attention to these things if you already pay a lot of attention to your ears and their health because of tinnitus or hyperacusis. After developing a new terrifying humming sound, I am now hyper aware of other low bass freq sounds that were always there but that I had no...

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...

Yea I think so too. I just don't remember how high pitched it was in the beginning. At times it's hissing/humming sound then at times it'll be a low ring.. and lately idk y but I get these small headaches .. but I think it has something to do with my neck maybe I'm just thinking too much into it

@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...

So sorry to hear this. Maybe is TTTs??? Myself and others in the group have this form of t. Can you mask it?? I hope and pray it goes away for you.

No real side effects that I have noticed. I think I have more energy when I take it. Things were really quiet for a while but I got my first shot of Pfizer on Friday and don’t know if it was that or a new medication I started that has ramped up the noise a bit. Without a doubt though the last...

Yeah donno, think I might have it in both the ears now... :( Mita

Hey, thanks for responding. But I had no tinnitus before the sinus infection, and no humming before the Cefalexin. It quite literally overnight caused the humming in my ear 4 months ago and it's still there. Just a constant hmmmm sound. It's really beginning to bother me. I don't have any...

Dear members - I wonder if I could ask if anyone had the same experience. I started to have humming tinnitus that I notice in September this year. That first time it was in one ear and pulsatile and disappeared in a few hours after I had some Ibuprofen, it was just as I felt I was getting a...

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...

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...

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.

This is the reason I created a new thread to get an idea of peoples pitch types. It'll be interesting to know how many people have bass sounds and thunder type rumbling without further issues. Many people will say they have low frequency tinnitus and then describe it as being like a...

...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...

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...

Can hearing aids help with this kind of low frequency tinnitus? @Haylee So sorry you are not feeling well. What antidepressant are you taking now? Do you hear the humming everywhere? If you can mask it with the sound of your refrigerator that's good. Then by placing other devices/machines like...

Hi. I have an update to share. As you know, I developed a new noise in October. Low-level humming that has been there ever since. It varies in intensity and just appeared randomly. I am so frightened because yesterday another noise was added to the cacophony of noises I already had. My tinnitus...

It looks like yours is not piercing. Even a hiss can be piercing...

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...

...my head. It stayed like that until 24th of October. During this time, sound stopped or was not hearable for 2x1 day. 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...

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...

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.

...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...

...necessary. Someone spoke, and I damn blew my ear off. It was seriously the loudest thing I have ever heard. At home, I kept hearing a low humming in my left ear, like a refrigerator or A.C. At first I thought it was my new ceiling fan, but I kept hearing the humming after turning the fan...

Hi! My tinnitus is a humming sound at 60-65 hz. Some sounds aggrivate it. Sometimes the tinnitus is low and sometimes it is gone. A couple of weeks ago I was exposed to a loud buzzing from a motor. Only for a few minutes. Soon after I as in a quiet room and I noticed that my tinnitus had reduced...

...more reduced in that ear, especially in the mid to high frequency range. I now hear my regular tinnitus sound and this new, very low humming sound (mostly at night). Hopefully the humming will go away soon. For the past two days I have had more frequent fleeting tinnitus episodes, where it...

@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...

Mine started like that a year ago. First time I had ever had it. It would come and go. When I talked it would disappear completely and come back when I stopped. Drove me nuts. It started coming more regularly. It would cycle. 2 days no humming 3rd day humming. It was a low frequency hum too. I...

I've had a very loud humming sound in my head, off and on, for over 20 years. Has nothing to do with colds as I rarely get sick. (See my other posts about this in detail). Hopefully, your hum will go back to normal when your cold is over. Please keep us posted.

In early December (the 8th) we got a Samsung freezer and a Samsung fridge here in the house. A week later (the 15th) I distinctly start hearing a low-pitched humming noise reverberating throughout the entire house. I try to walk it off, it gets worse the following week, and I tell my father...

Well I have to disagree here. Even though I haven't been tested I can say that my T is really low in the morning if I've gotten a good sleep. Humming of my fridge can cover my T in the good mornings. I can't hear it even if I try. But when I come out from work I can hear my T easily over the...

Do you feel any increase in heart rate or dizziness by taking the Tru Niagen? What side effects do you feel from it, if any? This sounds really interesting. I'm still waiting for my new Ayurvedic meds to show up. Hopefully they will in the next few days. I'm very interested to hear about...

You're the first person I've seen post this - EXACT same description I give my humming/buzzing feeling, even down to the "almost physical feeling". Have you ever attempted to diagnose what the humming actually is? Is it part of T? I also have Hyperacusis. Weird thing is - If I plug my ears...

I'm new here too. I also have the low frequency, humming type of ringing in my left ear. I had it in 2016 for about 2 weeks than in 2017 for some days and now for a week. What makes me really scared that back then when the noise stopped it stayed that way, but now, these week it started on...

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...

That's great to hear. May I ask what is your age, or age range? Are you in your 20's, 30's, 40's? I ask because according to the doctor, age is a contributing factor for success and it will be helpful data when you share you final results in few months.

Where did you get this information from?? Have you tried muscle relaxers?? I have this too and noticed that taking a small dose of muscle relaxers ( prescribed for neck pain) helps a little...wondering if I should take more? hmmm @Joeymeatballs how are you doing these days?? Did the low...

I've posted my story in other threads, but this thread is specific to our common enemy. In April 1996, I started hearing a high-pitched hissing in my head. After countless medical and hearing tests and MRIs, no cause or abnormalities were found, and I had no hearing loss. Eventually, I...

1.) What ear(s) is your T in? Both ears with an emphasis on my right. 2.) Would you describe the sound as coming from the ear or do you find it is coming from inside your head (and where in the head- middle, side, back. etc.)? Inside my head, but occasionally both ears...

I've read some older threads here, but it seems to me that the answers were all very different. I thought, let's give it another try in 2021. So I'm 21 years old, and thanks to homeopathy I "manage" my tinnitus quite well (I do have spikes sometimes, but on an everyday basis I hear a...

@Greg Sacramento, do you think my issue sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, given the symptoms: for instance, when an airplane flies over my house or I’m around some other low frequency sound, even the refrigerator, it completely seems to suppress the “tinnitus noises” — it doesn’t seem to be...

I've had tinnitus of 8,000Hz for 9 months now. However, 2 weeks ago I developed low frequency tinnitus in my left ear. It feels like something is actually vibrating in my ear but I'm not sure. Could be stapedial myoclonus but it's hard to tell. At first I only noticed it at night where it...

That "amp" sound you have is exactly how I'd describe mine.

...1. Progressive muscle relaxation, focusing especially on your jaw, neck, and shoulders? 2. Vagus nerve activation techniques like slow humming or deep breathing? 3. Low-dose Magnesium, preferably glycinate or citrate? Some people find it helps with muscle spasm issues like MEM. - Consider an...

Hello.. I can't believe what you've just described.. your T is identical to mine. Read my welcome post. I only came here last week because after 7 years of high pitched ringing in both ears I've started with a low rumble. I can only hear it at home and its constantly being interrupted by the...

I've had a low-pitched buzzing/humming in my head since 1996, although it has been known to go away for periods of up to three years. I've been on the antidepressant Escitalopram (generic Lexapro) for 15 years which I stared taking for depression, anxiety, and OCD. The buzzing in my head stayed...

Hi everyone! I introduced myself a while ago, and explained that I developed a low pitched humming in my right ear after an upper respitory virus that clogged my ears. It's been about a month with ear fullness and humming. Based on Google searches and reading lots of posts here, I suspect I...

Please let us know which antidepressant you switch to. I would highly advise against Celexa. If you're going to take an SSRI, Sertraline has been the one better tolerated for tinnitus from what I've read. I'm on a low dose of Nortriptyline (10 mg) but that has not helped the head buzzing...

I've had a low-pitched buzzing/humming in my head since 1996, although it has been known to go away for periods of up to three years. I've been on the antidepressant Escitalopram (generic Lexapro) for 15 years which I stared taking for depression, anxiety, and OCD. The buzzing in my head stayed...

...air pressure imbalance. After trying various tips, tricks, and hacks on YouTube, nothing helped. A few days later, I started hearing a low humming sound around 50-80 Hz in that same ear. At first, I thought it was generator at a nearby construction site until I was in a quiet spot and the...

...MY OTHER EAR TOO!!!! lol...So both ears are affected by it....but get this....I can only hear the right side all the time everyday in a low humming.....in the left side I can only hear it with my earplugs in and only when I look down....when I'm in a neutral position it goes away the left...

Nothing particularly stressful happened the day it returned. In fact, I had gone to the gym, had a good workout, came home, and ate a healthy dinner. Just another boring day. It was a few hours later that I started hearing the hum again. At first it was faint, but then it got louder. It's been...

I did have fleeting low frequency T. It would sound like an engine or thunder. Mostly felt like humming on the back of my neck. It would stop went I spoke then come back. It did this for several months off and on. It would come stay for a few days then leave. One time it stayed 15 days. About...
