I have sought tinnitus resources since I have recently experienced an onset of persistent medium and high frequency tones, mainly it seems in my left ear, since my COVID-19 vaccination in December 2020. It is not audibly painful or distracting, yet. However, I have never had this in the past...

My name is Laurie and I have had tinnitus for several years, starting around 2010 or 2011. At first it was intermittent, but starting early this year it has become a constant hissing in both ears. I also have multiple sclerosis since 1981, and I am wondering if there is a connection between MS...

Hello, update on my tinnitus. Since 4/16 I still have severe intrusive tinnitus. It's 17 months now and back in 5/17 I was diagnosed with Ménière's disease. That would explain my fluctuating hearing loss. The illness has really disrupted my life, I am vert slowly adapting to the constant noise...

Thanks for the info! Will try the intermittent fasting first

I’m sorry to hear that. Mine is still the same. It’s like a vibration that stops with any incoming sound. But as soon as the sound stops and there is silence, my ear drum starts vibrating. It’s very uncomfortable because it’s very intermittent. Monday I’m going to see my neurologist again for...

For the past month, I’ve been doing the Keto WOE along with intermittent fasting - 18/6. I’ve lost some weight, have less joint pain, more energy and feel better in general, but the Tinnitus is as loud and obnoxious as ever. I’m staying on it, but have no expectations that the T will improve.

Hi there, yep! 3 main tinnitus sounds for me. -1 in left ear modulating between 3 kHz & 4 kHz. -1 high pitched (around 10 kHz) in the center of the head. -1 at 3.5 kHz (intermittent) in the right ear. I had 3 or 4 more sounds in the first 3 months... (buzz, cricket, paper sound)... I...

The results are ambiguous though, so I don't blame you. According to them, before treatment, persistent tinnitus was found in 100 ears, and after treatment, persistent tinnitus was only found in 50 ears. This to me reads like the treatment eliminated tinnitus in 50% of patients. But then they go...

As if my tinnitus were not bad enough already, now I'm getting an intermittent "cricket" sound in my right ear. It happens for a second and then stops. Up until now it's been just an extremely high pitch tone in both ears. I sure hope it doesn't start continuously because .. I don't know if can...

...go away. I ordered a new bottle and after a few days, the buzzing softened and eventually went almost completely away. Enough to tolerate it. With that said, my friend’s soft intermittent tinnitus got louder! I guess like everything else we’ve tried, not everything helps everyone. Good luck!

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02040194 I was accepted for the study but I'm cancelling my participation because my tinnitus has improved dramatically over the last two weeks as my inner ear infection is on the mend. The main requirement is that you must have gotten your tinnitus...

Hey Harold, I hope all is well with you and your family. I am still painting and preaching. The tinnitus is still intermittent for me. Still praying for a miracle of healing! You are going on 50 years now with tinnitus; you are quite a tribute to perseverance! Drop me a line, and let me know how...

I've used ear plugs to sleep for years now. Last year, I started hearing this intermittent sound. At first I believed it was a construction site somewhere. I only heard it with the ear plugs on, which was weird. A few days later I realized it was synchronized with my heart beat and inside my...

hey Strife, I am in Connecticut, (USA). I am doing pretty well! With "T" there are good days and not so good ones. Today was a good one. My tinnitus is intermittent; so it is low at times and louder other times. When it is low, it does not trouble me at all after seven years now!

these tests were the exact reason I got this loud pitch hyperacusis/tinnitus which has never stopped since I left the ENT's office mid July 2019...it is now October 11, 2019. I went into the ent's office that day with intermittent ringing that I had first noticed in May 2019. At that point it...

Well I took Clonazepam with little issue for a year or so after tinnitus onset. Withdrawal was largely uneventful. Since a recent worsening in my noxacusis that has caused me great stress I was taking 2-3 1 mg doses of Clonazepam a month for about the past four months. The last dose was...

My intermittent right side P.T. stops if I compress the left side of my neck, tried it after I read this article below. I'm hoping I don't have a dural fistula. MRI nothing, ice, meditation, breathing exercises and massage of trigger points on neck helps, low stress keeps mine intermittent...

My tinnitus high-pitched and very unstable. It is not masked by anything but the shower. Sometimes not even that. My audiogram is fine up to 6000 Hz so it doesn't typically interfere with my hearing. In my early days I could not stand anything like frying pans, vacuums, fans, etc. My tinnitus...

I wonder if this could regenerate middle ear and eustachian tube cilia that have been damaged due to a viral or bacterial infection. Ear infection was the cause of my tinnitus and to this day, I still have trouble clearing mucosal secretions despite normal middle ear pressure and tube function...

I have had a steady tone tinnitus in my left ear for many years. Just recently it has been joined by an intermittent crackling sound. The old sound is still there, same as ever, and since it is continuous it is much easier to ignore than this new one which is off and on.

I have intermittent tinnitus as well, I go long stretches of the day where I can't hear it, I've even laid down in bed and gone, "whoa, where's the ringing?!" even when thinking about it, it's gone, but once I start thinking about it, I usually start to hear it in about 30-40 seconds.

I have had fluttering in one ear since June 2022. It was intermittent and eased off gradually, I barely noticed the changes. At its worst, it would rage for up to an hour, perhaps upto four times a day. Gradually over the months, the length of time it fluttered has reduced. Now it occurs...

This happens to me with sounds around 1500 Hz, piano notes are especially bad for enciting reactive whailing directly inside my ear (not coming from the source, the tinnitus ramps up hard in a distorted, intermittent, rapidly pulsating chaotic tone, close to the piano note, always one tone...

You already asked me in a different thread. I answered there. It’s in both ears. But really only get the actual vibration sensation in left ear so far. Both are intermittent. Today has been a good day. Last night was bad. Woke up and had vibrations in my body too. Honestly not sure what is...

My interpretation of this was that the effects of the treatment wore off. It would be nice if he came back to participate in the thread.

Hello. My tinnitus began 9 months ago (Nov 2017). My neck was pushed while my neck and face were hard-turned left. I began hearing static my left ear. When it began it was only when I leaned down and to the left. It is now frequent and intermittent. SYMPTOMS - intermittent - left ear only -...

@Liam Boehm should ideally end up quadriplegic being fed by a tube. He's got no conscience.

@Contrast what relationship is posited between hearing loss and ear pain? (Between hearing loss and tinnitus I well know.) I am interested because I have intermittent ear pain + constant aural fullness besides T, H and HL.

I'm new here. So glad I found this sight. My question is I hear the sound of someone tapping on symbols its intermittent have had for 15 years thought it went away 1 ago no such luck does any out there hear other sounds ?? Even after all these years it still causes anxiety and depression there...

I'm not sure what to name that either, but I'm sorry to hear about all you've been through. I can't really comment on all your hearing issues, but the fact that your tinnitus is intermittent instead of constant might not be a bad thing. Are you sure that constantly popping your ears isn't...

Hi, Annie, There seems to be a small subset of us with intermittent tinnitus. Several of us describe our tinnitus as "high-pitched cricket" sounds. I think I've identified about 5 of us with this so far. Since you said yours was intermittent, I wondered if this (cricket sounds) description...

@BrysonKingMe - I have the same type of intermittent/variable/fluctuating tinnitus. Some days it's low and some days it's loud. Very often, it occurs on the day boundary--whatever I wake up to is what I get for the day, as if my tinnitus flips a coin in the night. When it's low, it's primarily...

That's why I'd really like to know if anyone has something similar. The members of this forum tend to be fatalistic in the sense that if you have a sound in your ear, it is almost certainly cochlear damage that can't be cured and will continue forever. But the folks here also acknowledge that...

Greetings! Is this actual pulsatile tinnitus? I've had bilateral, multi-tonal tinnitus for about 3 years now with very intermittent pulsatile tinnitus like symptoms. I also have somatic tinnitus, but I only hear it walking (left leg forward) and and turning my head and opening my jaw to...

Search for my posts in the Pulsatile Tinnitus category and you will find lots of information on my MEM experience.

No problem about the length, mate. It definitely sounds like you’re dealing with something that nobody seems to fully understand. It seems to go beyond just hyperacusis and resembles a kind of sensitivity or intermittent chronic pain centered in your ears. I believe some writers, like Dr. Howard...

I've had it happen with an MRI scan, but I can't speak for a hearing test. No idea how loud they are.

Hi Blodorn, I have intermittent tinnitus like you. Mine tends to stay reasonably the same throughout a day though, but varies from day to day (sleep seems to be the thing that changes it). Sometimes I go for 2 days hardly hearing it at all. I've had it for about 3 years and hasn't really faded...

How does one even habituate to these intermittent pausing sounds/tones? They have no predictability which in my experience makes it impossible for the brain to habituate to. What is even up with this beeping and pausing. Like the f***!!! Why!!!!! Why are you doing this?! At least give me...

From my experience on this board Tinnitus is more likely to go away if: -You're young (check) -It wasn't caused by hearing damage (check) -It's intermittent (?) It DOES go away in many people. Mine did after four years. You just rarely hear about success stories because people move on with...

Hello Everyone, It has been a long time since I posted here as my tinnitus got to a point where it stabilized and I was habituated to it. To the point where even when I did notice it or had a brief spike, I wasn't bothered. My current spike has only been going since two nights ago, and may be...

My journey into the underworld started with waking up one night to Pulsatile Tinnitus. I had never really thought such a thing could exist. Lasted 8 months then went away gradually. I had intermittent ordinary T but it never bothered me much until Feb 16 this year when it appeared during the...

Hi folks So I think I might have uncovered the mystery of the new tone - I think it might be street lamps! They make a bizarre intermittent humming noise...at least I hope that's what it is... However, thanks to the anxiety and constant monitoring, my old tinnitus has kicked up a whole bunch...

One ENT guy I saw said that he thought it was a type of pre-consciousness habituation that everyone does not have PT (the huge carotid arteries being so close to the inner and middle ear mechanisms). I have intermittent PT for which no definite cause has been found (I also have hissing tinnitus...

I have been wondering the same. Personally I have 0 hopes of healing. Distortions for more than 2 years, which now have gotten much much worse along with sound sensitivity and intermittent ear pain. The latter two are my big problems atm. I deal better with tinnitus but the ear spasms and...

I have loud fluctuating, AKA intermittent, tinnitus, much like Rick Beato, but my periods of silence are not very long. I have habituated to the point that when it is ringing, my mind ignores it most of the time. I had a spike a few days ago due to accidental exposure to a loud noise, which has...

I'm having a hearing test on Thursday before an ENT appointment. This is the first time my tinnitus and possible hearing problems will be addressed by a professional. I'm definitely going to ask for the pulsing sounds because my T is constant and high-pitched with intermittent stand-out sounds...

Hi, @Adrianfox , Just wanted to share that I have intermittent tinnitus that I first described as the sound of "soprano crickets on steroids." I'm certain mine is somatic, and I asked the dentist/specialist that treats my TMJ issues if he had heard of this. He said he certainly had, and he...

Thank you Golly and Jazz, I appreciate your advise and will consider your recommendations. I wonder if it is possible to habituate intermittent tinnitus .ie a shrill brain rattling ,tinny noise. I am considering buying the TRT book from amazon, as there is no TRT centres where I live. Nothing...

I've had this swishing tinnitus for years (I wrote an intro post of myself in the intro forum) and I get intermittent ringing.. The swishing keeps time with my heartbeat but the ringing not. Do other "whooshers" get this? I've never really looked into treatment options... I only recently found...

Interesting. After what time period did your aural fullness start to become intermittent? weeks, months? Also, do you experience a Tinnitus tone you would classify as 4kHz? Or do you only have higher tones (>8kHz)? I also experience a weird sensation in the ear indicating the presence of...

Never thought I'd say this, but there ARE some advantages of having tinnitus. So, high pitched hissing tinnitus for 3 years and intermittent pulsatile tinnitus both ears over the same period. Severe depression and 'utter failure to cope' initially....eventually habituated. Over the last couple...

Hi there, I've had some intermittent tinnitus for the past few years - nothing big. A recent month long virus/cold triggered a major tinnitus attack. I went to the ENT and to my surprise, I have moderate to severe hearing loss. He gave me prednisone, but left me with little confidence there...

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I got tinnitus after a a bad flu like head cold that lasted about a month (in November). I got intermittent tinnitus during the end of the virus. My dr had me go on Flonase and Claritin. I tried that for a week or so. The tinnitus then didn't bother me since it was on and off and...

Yes arm pain in upper left arm and just under left clavicle but intermittent in that it comes and goes week to week. Usually I take some an painkillers and it settles down and is fine for a few weeks but always comes back. I guess my big questions is could this be linked to my Tinnitus and the...

I don't understand... how can this help tinnitus, when by fasting you are depriving yourself from nutrients... won't there be a chance of suffering slow hearing loss from the hair cells dying from not having what they need?

so you had temporary tinnitus? So what exactly is your point for us with chronic tinnitus?

Hi all, I would like to confirm this. I started an intermittent diet a couple weeks ago and I have noticed my tinnitus which I have had for seventeen years has decreased dramatically. In fact I was completely shocked and ecstatic when I found this blog. I thought my military background was...

If it is fading compared to how it was a month ago, it ought to continue to fade.
