    Tinnitus Spike After Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Jab

    I turn 60 this year, myself. I have three weddings to attend (including my own) and all I can think about is tinnitus. I had two Pfizer jabs in February and March with no issues. I had a Moderna booster in November, the same time I was testing Paxil for my panic disorder. Three days after the...

    Vibrating / Humming Feeling

    Im glad it went away for you Carlos1 :) So one day you noticed the humming, went to the doctor and get prednizone and it went away just like that? Since im not feeling too well either i guess i should take a trip to my doctor. But i doubt i will get prednizone just like that. Most of the...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Yeah, basically it can be immediately inhibited by certain level of low sound, it requires different amount depending on how strong it is that day. You may not notice it on holiday at all for example due to outside sound or hotel A/C. Or people who live in NY definitely wouldn't even know if...

    Bass Tinnitus Noise That Does Not Correlate with Heartbeat or Breathing

    Hello Doc, New here! My first post, but did some reading. If I could get your expertise on this condition that has been bothering me for a while now: The low "humming" bass noise that is new for me (I had the usual high pitch tinnitus with a high frequency hearing loss, and I learned how to...

    Low Bass-Like Hum, As If Something Was Vibrating Inside My Ear: Is This Tinnitus or Something Worse?

    Thank you, Billie. I think if it stays constant (Went into kind of a remission again a couple of days ago, fingers crossed it's gonna stay this way for a while at least), I'll consider severing the muscles first, then anything available. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with SSHL. Are you...

    Amplified/Distorted Background Noises/Phantom Sounds

    This sounds similar to what I've developed. It started with a high pitched sound, but over the last few days I have started hearing a more low frequency tone that only accompanies certain other sounds, e.g. fridge noise, a car engine, a hand dryer etc. Even when I hear music, when certain tones...

    Hello

    I'm 48 years old, and about two weeks ago a low humming sound started in my right ear. I kept asking my husband if he could hear it. He said no, I thought it was coming from a neighbor's house, since I live in an apartment. I only thought I heard it in the bedroom, but today when I woke , and...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    OK, thanks. Bloody hydrops is a new thing to me. Will try to look into it. I didn't really find any direct correlation between good or drink and a hum volume increase. Maybe coffee, but not sure. I did try to drink a lot of water and eat healthy. The hum did vary a little in intensity from time...

    Is It Tinnitus? Low Hum — I'm Very Worried

    Does yours sound like a low rumble, like at 50-60 Hz in tone? Does it pulsate at times, and when aggravated gets intense with a more continuous sound and more feeling it physically in the ear? Does coming back from driving make it worse, or putting an earplug in the ear and taking it out...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Your symptoms and experiences are almost identical to mine. (I go into more detail in my post above). I just got home from work, and I can barely hear the humming. But as the night progresses, it will get louder and louder with or without noise exposure. Last night it wasn't that loud when I...

    Pressure and Suction from Earplugs... Damage to Cochlea?

    Throughout the day I have been losing more low frequency hearing, and I really don't know why whatsoever (possibly road noise?), but it could be the earplugs I am wearing. I wear deep fitting foam earplugs which are great for external sounds. They also seem to minimize the occlusion effect...

    Electrical Head Buzzing Tinnitus — What Has Helped YOU?

    I am so sorry to hear that your head noise has returned. I am experiencing a relapse since October last year, with what I think may be more intrusive head noise (like a far away gas leak/hissing). At times, it sounds electrical and it really bothers me a lot. It followed a year of a LOT of...

    The Hum from Hell

    I know what you mean about waiting for everything. Most of my appointments I have had to wait at least 4 months. At this point I would rather just pay someone to tell me they can't do anything for me instead of waiting 4 months and having them tell me the same... Have you had any developments...

    I Feel My Tinnitus Often Aligns with My Heartbeat — Possibly Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    Thanks @Greg Sacramento. Do you think a CT scan would detect something that could be causing these humming, turbulent, engine idling noises? Something that maybe a surgery could correct? Honestly I would love to find something and get it fixed because these sounds are very intrusive. Is...

    Getting Worried — I Was Wearing Gaming Headphones When My Tinnitus Started

    I have low humming/buzzing/vibrating tinnitus, something resembling yours, I hear a motor type sound with a hint of a foghorn. It stops when I cover my ears, or plug it with my finger (earplugs sadly don't have the same effect). For me it's recurring, not always present, normally I have it every...

    Post Tympanometry — Low Humming Sound

    Poll: Which Is Worse — High-Pitched Tones or Low Humming Tones

    I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering. I hope it improves for you soon. I have a hum in my left ear that vibrates pretty bad at times. Sometimes it’s mild. It’s maskable by a lot of sounds. I’m okay with it because it’s just annoying—not really painful. My high frequency tinnitus is ugly, though...

    Machine/Motor Tinnitus Sound Which Disappears When I Plug My Ears

    Mine is machine like as well, but maybe a bit more nasally, or bass-like, or I don't know how to define it. It vibrates, sometimes all over my head. It really, really annoys me. I first realized that if I cover my ears thoroughly, or put my finger in it, it stops. Now I just put earplugs in it...

    Anyone ever have the low humming reactive tinnitus as "super reactive" as in balls to the wall loud? It isn't always constant, it comes and goes in a wavering way, as if I have a freaking lightsaber being waved around my right ear. Is this a symptom of cochlear hydrops if it's generally low...

    Tinnitus (Low Hum) That Alternates with Ear Fullness

    Oh wow, exact same here as Keylime. It's this annoying low hum, about 50-60Hz, right ear only. When it's bad, it's constant, but most of the time it seems to come in and out, unrelated to pulse. It sounds like a slow vroom vroom vroom, modulated about 1-2Hz. I've had it about 2 weeks now. I saw...
