I’m so sorry to hear that. This is such a difficult condition. This likely isn’t new damage, though. Your system is still hypersensitive and will be for a while. Seventy decibels is still a safe sound level, but your ears are re-learning how to process sound and will tend to overreact. It can...

my right ear has been getting tinnitus occasionally for 2more than a year. But now its getting worse like every other day. It will clear itself somedays, then next day it will come back. I can only suspect that the middle ear has wax build up, that wont come out. Im pretty sure its not the outer...

My tinnitus also began in May, 2019. Sounds like yours may be intermittent, is that correct? In May mine was intermittent, but come July it is a high pitched constant roar.

Tinnitus has become intermittent in my left ear. My left ear is silent sometimes. I have obnoxious tinnitus on the left side of my head.

@JohnAdams Is your tinnitus still at a intermittent low hiss?

Does your tinnitus make it hard to hear television or people speaking in other rooms? Does the sound of a fan or a forced-air heating system make it worse? I can't be near air conditioners or heating systems, and I must have loud Violet Noise or Water running at all times during the day to...

@IntotheBlue03 - I can't comment too much on most of the above. I hope you get to the bottom of it and that you fully recover. Just a quick question - your tinnitus is now intermittent and pulsatile, whereas it was neither previously?

It wasn't intermittent (as in coming and going) it was there all the time. Mild compared to others here yes.

This happened to me. 2.5 years ago I began getting intermittent tinnitus in the left ear only. 6 months later the right ear started (much quieter, kind of echoy, and constant rather than intermittent). It almost feels like it's resonating sympathetically with the left.

As someone with intermittent tinnitus, I can say its definitely both.

Yes, I have intermittent clicking in my right ear over the tinnitus.

I have intermittent tinnitus as well. My tinnitus fluctuates wildly. I often wonder why and how this is possible? Maybe investigating the brains of people with cycling tinnitus could lead to further discoveries? The limbic system may certainly come into play at onset, but how does it account for...

Hi all, In March I was suffering from frequent urination which for me is normally a sign of a UTI so while I was on holiday in Portugal in April I was given some antibiotics I had never had before, to take 2 sachets in water over 2 days. Short term relief (no impact on my tinnitus). By end of...

I have relatively mild tinnitus and intermittent hyperacusis and ear spasms. If it can cut my tinnitus down, that would be one hurdle overcome.

Is there a connection between the nature of the tone and the cause of one's tinnitus? Like if you have hearing loss, you get a constant pure tone, because the hair cells are dead and are not working anymore in any way. Maybe you get a nervous, intermittent tone when the hair cells are not...

I remember now it's called intermittent Tinnitus how could I not remember that. lol

Same here.

Karen, is your pulsing tinnitus there constantly? Did it start off intermittent then become constant?

Hello! Thanks to everyone for this wonderful forum. The discussion and information here are invaluable. I am sharing my story in case it helps anyone or if others have had a similar experience. Apologies in advance for the long introduction. I am a 51 year old male with no unusual sound...

I don't know, maybe I was just one of the lucky few, but I used earplugs a lot, even during the night and I heard silence. Aside from the intermittent low hum and fleeting tinnitus, I never heard hissing or pure tones, not even after concerts, never.

@SillyMama, @DoggoneT, I came across this article by a doctor with cervical related tinnitus. It makes sense also in relation to the Alexander Technique, where neck awareness is central. That is, allowing the neck to be free and unconstricted. Chronic Cervicogenic Tinnitus Rapidly Resolved by...

If I could go back to the onset of my acoustic trauma, I would try intratympanic Dexamethasone injections & a keto diet combined with intermittent fasting & some longer periods of fasting! You want to do everything you can to decrease the inflammation. Best of luck to you.

I am not so sure that intermittent tinnitus is that rare. In a 2010 paper by Rauschecker et al., the authors state, "A sizeable portion of tinnitus patients suffer from what is known as “intermittent” tinnitus, in which the ringing sensation disappears completely for days or weeks, only to...

...year, 2019. I knew it wasn't normal so I made an appointment with an ENT. The appt was mid July. I was still experiencing intermittent tinnitus symptoms, only occasionally. The ENT told me it was usually due to hearing loss and sent me to anothe room to have a hearing test. After...

Rapid thumping in right ear. Most apparent when surroundings are quiet. Tinnitus changes in rythum and is intermittent.

Ah, me too. My tinnitus started after my COVID-19 booster last fall. It had improved somewhat until I got COVID-19 for the first time in May. It definitely worsened in the month after I had recovered from COVID-19; I think I must have had some auto-immune reaction to the COVID-19 virus proteins...

I'm mostly a professional software engineer (and now engineering manager) but I dabble in a lot of other pursuits on the side (including audio/video). I first noticed that I had tinnitus when I was about 30, although it's probably been there longer. It seems to be intermittent, or perhaps I just...

Which is strange. My tinnitus is intermittent and I only get hyperacusis when I have tinnitus active.

Well to be honest it was intermittent first, then steady, then intermittent again, then gone. Description of T here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/is-my-tinnitus-unusual-please-help-identify-it.1604/ Details on how I cured it here...

Me neither... until severe hyperacusis started. And later on, tinnitus started.

Mine is intermittent, and is bearable.

I agree. Seems like the most likely cause. It can’t be just coincidental that I had both start at like the same time. As for noise from the concert I was in nose bleeds so it didn’t seem loud, but who knows! Thank you for your reply.

Tones maskable, no longer "as" reactive, still ramp in volume but not as badly. Intermittent morse code tinnitus (all the 5 different ones) are extremely reactive and distort any attempts of masking / volume match.

...a period of quiet, but in the long run it could drive me crazy thinking when it's next going to come back. Still, I think I'd choose intermittent rather than constant. Intermittent tinnitus somehow gives much more hope of it someday going permanently away than constant - never-pausing -...

No. But I got several new tones about 9-10 months ago, which started intermittent, but are now chronic.

It seems like a positive sign that you are having intermittent good days.

For those that may find it interesting, below I have created the progression of my tinnitus thus far. HL indicates Hearing loss. Quiet pure tone --> (HL) Severe pure tone --> Severe hiss- -> (HL) Loud hiss --> Moderate hiss --> Intermittent moderate hiss

During yesterday afternoon's Lenire session, I started hearing a new sound in my right ear only. In addition to my usual high-pitched ringing, I started to hear very brief high-pitched "ticks" or "dings". At first I thought Lenire was malfunctioning, but the sounds persisted after the end of my...

Hi, I have intermittent pulsatile tinnitus in left ear. I have scalp paresthesia on the left side of head occurring all through the day. I see your message was posted in 2019 - have you got anywhere with a diagnoses?

Can someone who has "chirping" tinnitus tell me what their experience is like? This is the one word that seems different from all the other forms of tinnitus that I see described. Ringing, buzzing, hissing, roaring...these all seem like steady tones. But "chirping" seems like an intermittent...

Since my tinnitus naturally dropped from severe to slightly intermittent after a couple of years following my noise trauma, I tend to have 1 or 2 "annoying" tinnitus days a week and without fail a few craft beers/some red wine nullifies it for me. After 6 days of quiet-room-only tinnitus, and...

No, I cannot agree with this. I have also experienced the sudden realization that there is no humming sound, like the noise of a diesel engine. This has happened to me twice—once for a three-day period and another time for a single evening. I have been hearing this hum since the mid-1980s...

They have mentioned several times that their treatment doesn't care about of the character of the tinnitus signal. It doesn't matter if it's tonal, Morse code, hissing, screaming, beeping etc. It also doesn't matter if you have one tone or more. It also doesn't matter if it's one-sided or...

Well, sometimes you stumble upon strange things. This is definitely one of 'em... ;) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4803736/ Basically they are currently trying to help people with cervical pain syndrome using cervical collars. A larger paper is in preparation. The article reports...

...row. I've heard others say their tinnitus has longer cycles, like 5-day cycles. There's a good thread started by @Luman called Intermittent Tinnitus that has some describing their variability. I find it hard to habituate to it since it comes and goes and also changes in quality and pitch...

For me it's specific noise frequencies, usually resulting in intermittent very similar beeps of that noise, especially as a sound distortion. Not constant, intermittent and only in loud environments. Calms down in quiet and goes away where normal tinnitus garbage remains.

This is spot on in Britain. GPs tend to prescribe them and, unless you have severe mental illness, you will not get to see a psychiatrist. I was referred to psychiatry by an ENT, who wrote to my GP. The GP requested a psychiatrist who refused the referral because an "underlying condition is the...

My tinnitus went from intermittent non issue to 24/7 shriek after doxycycline. If the literature doesn't show this, maybe we need more literature...

Do you feel your low hum was related to wearing earplugs? Or you experienced this tinnitus for some other reason?

I’m just about done with the 72-hour water fast (in 3 more hours). I needed the detox. My tinnitus didn’t budge an inch however. In fact, I’m more bothered by my tinnitus today. It may be spiked, but not due to the water fast itself. I had trouble sleeping on an empty stomach throughout the fast...

I don’t have a specific cause to point to unfortunately. I think the direct causes are cervical injuries and possibly autoimmune. I awoke from a nap and chronic tinnitus was just there. I did however have intermittent tinnitus (a few times a month for 30 seconds at a time) for the past 2 years.

That's good if it is intermittent. You do experience periods of silence.

I've had intermittent somatic tinnitus prior to to my hearing loss. I would sometimes hear it at night in complete silence and when I wore ear protection for shooting. After my hearing loss, it seems like my somatic T is way louder. Could it be after my hearing loss that my system turned up...

In my case I live at 4100 feet above sea level. When I stay at the beach my intermittent tinnitus disappears. But when I drive back home my tinnitus problems come right back.

@Rafahyperacusis has it. Intermittent. For a good number of years now.

Hey there @VitaminBike, just wanted to welcome you to the forum. I'm not familiar with Nitroglycerin, but I hope you're able to piece together a theory well enough. What I've learned is that there are so many factors that could cause a sudden onset. I suppose you've done the usual--sought out...

It has been around a year with pulsatile tinnitus. Today is my first spike... I didn't know that you could have spikes too Today tinnitus noise is continuous... usually it is intermittent Also, it caused sleep interruption I haven't done anything unusual the day before. I only had blood...
