...of going out, the sound sensitivity increases very much and my ear rings more in reaction to speech. My doctor says I have intermittent tinnitus and hyperacusis but that it should 'resolve' itself given time. Strange thing is the ringing is not continuous like so many describe here. From...

Hi Andrea, I’m sorry you’re suffering with this but happy you’ve at least managed to establish a diagnosis. I have a question. Is your pulsatile tinnitus and autophony constant 24/7, or situational/intermittent? I can also hear myself blink but weirdly not all the time, and have moments of...

Hi Jenny, So sorry you're dealing with this. I also developed tinnitus following the COVID-19 shot. Mine started the day I received the J&J vaccine but was intermittent at first. It later became 24/7 - loud and intrusive. It is maddening! I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you to...

I know there are a decent amount of posts regarding Septoplasty, and I’ll keep reading them, but I couldn’t necessarily find an answer from people who had a Septoplasty after tinnitus. I had tinnitus onset a little over two months ago, the same time I had a sinus infection, then mono and loud...

I have no side effects from Sertraline. I guess it's just "my" drug. Maybe other drugs would do you better. I remember feeling better only after three years, and only after four years did my life start to seem somewhat normal again. Basically, I spent the first three years at home. Sad fact.

Haha. No, I actually want to tak to him. I have this new low intermittent thumping that I had before but went away. What is reactive tinnitus?

Yeah agreed. Even the little static I get, I cherish some nights because it's hella better than thumps, hums and rings.

Hi all, I have had intermittent pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear and regular tinnitus in the right ear since December 2019. Last months it has been very easy to live with. Two weeks ago I had a sinus infection. Terrible headache and pressure on the head and both ears. But I didn't have...

I was hoping he'd test his sensorineural tinnitus patients against patients with confirmed muscular tinnitus, which is also capable of being continuous in nature and could be extremely underdiagnosed.

Wow so this contradicts the limbic system theory then? Can someone explain if it’s a piece of the puzzle or a different theory? What about intermittent tinnitus? Please let this be true please.

So I’ve been suffering from tinnitus for almost half a year. Things aren’t getting better. Apart from the fact that I have reactive tinnitus, I recently acquired a new tone out of nowhere in my right ear that sounds like a loud car engine when I’m in silence and intermittent bass in semi...

Have your symptoms resolved? I just joined the forum and posted today. My symptoms sound identical to your symptoms: Loud click when swallowing Pulsatile tinnitus in right ear that gets worse with movement (crescendo) Intermittent non-pulsatile ringing in left ear Occasional neck stiffness and...

- why can tinnitus be intermittent - why can one have a completely different sound in each ear - is the level of “safe sound exposure” different for people with tinnitus. Do they have to wear extra hearing protection to prevent worsening?

Hey @Erik.Swe - Just wondering, would you classify this as intermittent/fluctuating instead of occasional, since it keeps reoccurring. I have good/bad days too in my right ear and considered it fluctuating.

You list your tinnitus as intermittent, meaning it is not constant? I could see that being much easier to simply accept.

Hi all - I got my second Moderna shot in May. I had ear fullness and things sounded a little muffled for a while but that seemed to resolve. Then a couple weeks later, the tinnitus began. I had never had any issue with tinnitus prior. It sounds like constant static with intermittent high pitched...

Thanks, and I sure will do that. To answer your questions: My hyperacusis is spiking a bit during this period, but in the past I haven't found any noticeable effect on my hyperacusis during a period. Sometimes a very slight negative effect, but only intermittent and not 24/7 all through my...

I’ve read @kelpiemsp posts from the beginning - it seems to me his tinnitus was intermittent. He referred to bouts of tinnitus a lot and tinnitus coming back. Am I missing something? That leads me to be more skeptical about the abating of his tinnitus as it could be from natural causes.

...be good, only experienced a drop in hearing with very high sounds which the ENT said is normal as we age. He said I probably would never need hearing aids. Funniest thing to me was going in to see the ENT with intermittent tinnitus and coming out with a constant loud roar. Any thoughts anyone?

Did you have any visual symptoms like tunnel vision etc? I’m really struggling with bad visual symptoms (no depth perception, not being able to focus etc) but my head pressure isn’t too bad (no severe headaches). Pulsatile tinnitus is intermittent. I’ve been told that empty sella on my MRI and...

Back to silence? Hey guys a quick update, something weird happend this morning. i woke up and my tinnitus changed. it became a very intermittent hissing (sounds like the light sabers of starwars) very faint, i covers my ears and the constant "eeeeee" was/is gone thats whats more shocking to me...

...clear for a bit, then it returns - sometimes worse, or at least it's perceived that way, then another cycle begins. After a while, over time, you just don't care and are able to ignore it. The therapist that I went to a few years ago confirmed that Intermittent tinnitus was harder to...

Wow that are great news. Hope they will find a way to defeat tinnitus by this medication. I only know carbamazepine which was working for my intermittent tinnitus pretty good. Unfortunately after 6 months it was losing its efficiency... and the tinnitus came back much worse.

Hi @TeslaGuy -- Interesting conversation. I've been researching optimal health and longevity for quite some time, and find it interesting that you've not mentioned anything Sinclair has had to say about nutrition and environmental pollutants, both of which I feel are critical factors. Perhaps he...

Please keep us in the loop. I had the same thought process as you, that I'll just ask my doctor for Etanercept. Then I had a discussion with him and found out that it's insanely expensive. By the way, I also take Curcumin. I am interested in intermittent fasting.

Really ? Never heard of that

I intermittently fast multiple days a week and recently did a 48 hour fast and it did nothing for my tinnitus.

The CEO of Neuromod said in the interview "[...] the tonality, atonality, pitch of tinnitus is not relevant to the therapy“ (question 12)

My tinnitus has changed for the worse(-ish) since late December last year, so my ears don't seem to have the morse code sound anymore. It is very difficult to hear my quieter sounds over the new constant pitches. The only one I can describe if I pay attention: a quiet shimmering, intermittent...

...If you like, we can share notes on how our tinnitus behaves to see if we can learn more. There are others on the forum with intermittent tinnitus, but I've found that the more common situation for people here is a constant noise-induced or medicine-induced tinnitus. By the way, nice use...

No. Loudness matters at any phase of tinnitus in terms of ability to cope. Those with very mild and intermittent tinnitus statistically cope easier because they have closer to normal hearing. Yes, those with moderate tinnitus can acclimate with time as discussed on this forum.

Hi Marin - Would you be willing to describe what your musical tinnitus was like? Was it constant or intermittent? Glad it went away for you!

Hello, I’m sorry you are going through this. I have just developed what I believe to be intermittent pulsatile tinnitus with a horrible ‘fullness’ sensation. I don’t have any advice, just saw you had not had any reply’s. If you look about you will see people who are well educated on pulsatile...

Yes - that was just as much of a problem for me as the actual tinnitus. The steroids helped get rid of that and the tinnitus followed. It felt like I was underwater all the time, and I had intermittent ear pain as well.

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...

Yes. It’s been 5 months since it started. It started out gradual and intermittent and increased.

This is my tinnitus now. It was intermittent but is now constant. 50% of the time it goes in sync with my heartbeat and I feel it in the back of my head. I was getting a lot of headaches in the back left skull neck area before this crap started. It squeaks, then flatlines to a sharp noise.

It would be like a short tune played over and over and over. It was constant, too. Sometimes it was a happy tune, or sometimes it sounded dark like something that belonged in the soundtrack of a horror movie. I can't remember much more detail at this time, but I do remember that it drove me nuts!

So it's been over three months for me. No improvement. The only conclusion seems to be that we're 99% sure my tinnitus is pulsatile. I've had intermittent whirring in my right ear only for over a year now. It's starting to happen more often. I occasionally get the classic regular tinnitus...

Some people report Sertraline causing tinnitus. I had hoped Sertraline would help me. I could only stand to take it for a week as I experienced stomach aches from the first dose that continued, along with an additional intermittent chirping ring in my left ear days after starting. I immediately...

I have COVID-19 induced tinnitus. It started after I had COVID-19 last July. I got the Pfizer vaccine two weeks ago and my tinnitus got noticeably worse within hours of the shot. It went from being intermittent to 24/7 and much louder. It has not gotten better up to this point. I have...

It’s intermittent and bothers me the least out of all of the other things.

Yes Lane that is true, I had touched on that one a while ago in a different post, so I will recap just briefly, but the phantom limb pain is mostly intermittent and in most cases it eventually goes away. If Tinnitus was also intermittent, it would be much easier to deal with, since you get a...

So they are trialing this for intermittent relief. That's good news.

Hello everyone, Last 28th June I had an EBP (Epidural Blood Patch) to treat a spontaneous CSF (Cerobrospinal Fluid) leak. My symptoms were stiff neck and tinnitus. After the patch, the stiff neck resolved quickly, and one week later the tinnitus was on and off and it even resolved for 3 days...

Mine tends to change a lot too. I have a lot of fleeting tinnitus, at least once a week on average. And sometimes random new sounds that come and go, like a soft rumbling noise in my right ear, a hiss in my left ear, that sometimes becomes a small ring, then its a recorder noise thats very soft...

Hi guys, I've got some intermittent typewriter tinnitus, this bothers me the most during the day. It's never constant, but clicking/beeping. Sometimes it stays away for minutes, sometimes it happens more often. During the night it is almost always completely gone. Waking up I'll get a very loud...

Hi Jan. An acquaintance of mine has intermittent Tinnitus due to TMJ - diagnosed by the way. That's all I can offer in the way of help though. Have you seen an ENT doctor yet?

What kind of ear spasms do you get? Ear drum spasms or inner ear spasms at the same frequency as your tinnitus?

Melina, I have ETD (bilateral). It started with a very mild virus infection a year ago. I noticed that I couldn't 'pop' my ears without doing the Valsalva quite hard (sometimes several times) associated with a feeling of intense pressure which eased on popping the ears and intermittent ear pain...

I have been doing intermittent fasting (IF) for a couple months. My tinnitus and hyperacusis (sound elevates ringing and pain) has definitely not been impacted by IF or anything related to my diet. Nothing. Just one data point of course.

Why do I constantly get a tone in one ear, but then sometimes also in the other ear? Could it mean my tinnitus may be going away, especially if it was worse in my intermittent ear, but now it’s static?

Hey Joe! Can you describe your tinnitus please? I read it's intermittent. One ear only? High-pitched? I haven't checked for a neuroma but since nobody can tell me why I have T I'm wondering if I might have it

I suffer from this low frequency tinnitus sh*t but I was able to suppress it for 3 consecutive days after flying for about 7 hours. I always have my ceiling fan on since the low frequency tinnitus disappears as soon as I turn it on. Sadly, however, my reactive tinnitus flares up instantly with...

I forgot about this thread. Shame the OP seems to have vanished as I wanted to ask what were his symptoms. I started intermittent fasting 2 or 3 weeks ago - 20 hours per day fast. The brownish iodine like colour in my semen is now very faint and looks like it is clearing. I would have to...

I don't know if it will go away for you completely, but I can swap notes with you. I have intermittent unilateral non-reactive tinnitus and bilateral reactive tinnitus. The reactive component manifested about a month after my non-reactive component onset. Both components are daily...

That's a good question! I have both regular tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus, and I think overall that the pulsatile tinnitus affects concentration more. For some people, it may not, because theirs is intermittent. My pulsating, however, is constant, and it's harder to tune it out during the day.

Also I’m curious, are there any agreed upon telltale signs that ears / tinnitus is improving or healing? I’ve heard noises getting softer, more intermittent, silent days, things like that. But does anyone know why sometimes when people heal it goes from ringing to buzzing and then to tv static...

Hello! Do you also have this problem (morse code tinnitus)?
