Hello! I just signed up for this forum and I just want to begin by thanking everyone for their comments or advices. Back in November 2018 I started hearing this intermittent vibrating sound in my right ear. However I have noticed that whenever I plug my ears the sound would go away. This made...

The electric drill, do you hear it almost everywhere? What kind of areas provide relief? Thanx.

Loudness is a huge factor. My tinnitus is intermittent. I usually get 2 days in a row where it is is 1/10 then it can literally spike to a 10/10 for a day or 2 then it returns to a 1 or 2/10. I have much less stress on the quiet days than on the loud ones. If it would stay quiet I wouldn't even...

Thank you for your informative responses. I really appreciate it.

Friends, I have multiple tones and hissing that I hear during the day and I'm somehow able to cope with them. However, my sleep continues to be a disaster damaging my health. Besides the stress and anxiety, it is also due to the fact that there is one particular intermittent beeping that only...

Hi guys, I have two type of tinnitus, an hissing on my left (previously high pinch), and an intermittent one on my right. When I try to "pop" the ears, my right one do the same as before the onset, meanwhile the left one "pop" when it wants. It can be after 10 seconds, 1 minutes, 5 minutes. All...

What kind of morse code do you have now?

You might want to take a look at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16514262 "Typewriter Tinnitus" seems to respond to carbamazepine. If you are going to see a doctor tomorrow, you might want to read up on carbamazepine and discuss it with him or her. There are also apparently surgical...

Isn't it ironic that loud sound is used in most tests to assess a healthy hearing? Evoked potential, accoustic reflex.. let alone the dreadful MRI.

Thanks, Nancy Fortunately it's been something over the years that will come and go; I've been able to function, because the tinnitus/vertigo are intermittent and only sideline me for a few hours. But this latest spike is the worst ... loud, persistent, and in both ears. The last five weeks...

Do you plan any trials with whatever kind of medication in the next future? In TEDx you said help is on the way. What’s the actual status of it, any new findings? When you think will be a real treatment which lowers the tinnitus loudness (not a cure) available? What do you think about...

...to activate in the discerning of pleasant or unpleasant noise. I did ask Josef if there was any comparison to patients with intermittent tinnitus (he has intermittent tinnitus himself) but there isn't any work unfortunately. Will be interesting to see it though, maybe the gating mechanism...

Intermittent use probably the safest but like you I got good results and took it more frequently. They are nasty drugs if they get a hold of you, knowing what I do now I would never take them. There are many people who have tinnitus because of this class of drug, you have to work out the risk...

...as it was in the beginning. Or maybe I'm just less panicked by it. :-) I think there's a paper on tinnitus that suggests that intermittent tinnitus is caused by some inhibitory feedback loop in the brain. I'm thrilled to hear that your loud days are getting further apart! It gives me hope...

Can you describe your ear pain? Is it a constant ache or an intermittent stabbing pain?

Hello, I am a single woman in my mid-50s with very little history of noise exposure. Life was great, but things changed last August 6. I took a lesson at an indoor firing range while wearing earmuff hearing protection, but I did not know I should double up with earplugs. During the lesson...

Found this on You tube just now. I will give you her videos and the site link. http://www.theharwoodgroupny.com/tinnitus-treatment/ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHarwoodGroup Published on Sep 13, 2012 by TheHarwoodGroup Tinnitus treatment for you or someone you love is available. You don't...

...- always curious how the limbic system theory and Will Sedley's “once you see it you can’t unsee it” worked with people with intermittent tinnitus or those for whom it fades. I am sure they have an explanation although Dr Rauschecker’s one left me scratching my head as it seemed too...

Alxtan, I'm glad to hear that you are adjusting well to your tinnitus. It's good that yours is a mild case. Keep those ears protected when you're around loud sounds, and you should be able to avoid having it get worse! Also, I would say that nearly every person experiences tinnitus to some...

Sorry for asking, it's not quite clear for me. Do you have constant tinnitus as well? Or "only" the fleeting episodes?

Hello everyone, You might recognize my username from other posts here. This year, I have experienced several noise-related incidents that have affected my noxacusis (trigeminal nerve pain, particularly in my left ear). In January, my neighbor played very loud music for 15 to 30 seconds, which...

...I've been prescribed over 20 different antidepressants for my OCD/agoraphobia, social anxiety, and none of them worked. Sertraline caused my intermittent tinnitus, which I'm sure is the thing that started the change in my brain so now I have constant tinnitus and visual snow.

Typewriter tinnitus is a series of clicking sounds in a staccato pattern, much like the sounds a typewriter makes.

Sorry you’re going through this but hoping your tinnitus baselines sooner than later. As for how I deal with the chirp, it’s intermittent. I get it when my tinnitus ramps up from my hyperacusis but it lasts hours maybe every other day. It sucks and I think it’s just very high frequency zapping...

I would say you might have to use Tinnitus Mix once in a while to keep the tinnitus gone, but hey you did not spend thousands of dollars at the E.N.T. and get experimental surgeries or any of that... and it was free, win win.

@Erik.Swe - I can't rightly explain why it gets quiet when you put your finger in your ear. Is your tinnitus objective by chance? I wish I knew why it comes and goes. Mine flips when I'm asleep. An osteopath I spoke with wonders if it has to do with poor cerebrospinal fluid or blood flow during...

I think it’s safe to say that your spike is more than likely noise induced. It would appear it’s not uncommon for spikes of this nature to take many months to gradually fade, and at such a slow rate that it’s not even noticeable. I only took Prednisone for two weeks and probably tapered down a...

...--- That is great news! We have really enjoyed having you here, but glad you are able to move on. I think that may show that intermittent tinnitus could be a precursor to calmer tinnitus. What do you think? I'm glad you're one of the lucky ones, and hope it continues to be calm for you...

It is in the same region as a shift, but if the tone was pulsed I wouldn't have the same issues in perceiving it. I've tested myself with a tone at constant volume and when it pulses on and off it's easier to hear it as a distinct tone at a lower volume. Not by a huge way, but enough that it...

I’ve had this. It’s a bit scary, yeah. I first started having TTTS a year ago when my tinnitus also began. Several months ago I had several episodes of both of my ears fluttering like butterfly wings for a full 10 seconds or so. It has happened only 3 times in total, though. I also had an...

Hi everyone, I've had tinnitus for 10 weeks now. It has gone down in volume but still there in quiet rooms. Does anyone with TMJ induced tinnitus find they have spikes after going to loud venues or drinking coffee/alcohol etc? I'm seeing a neuromuscular dentist in a couple weeks time to...

I keep track by assessing how the day went. I have intermittent tinnitus; another words some days it is louder than others. And some days it is soft part of the day, and the other part louder. So the days it hardly bothers me, I call good, the days it is loud I call moderate; and the days it is...

Hey Markku, Hope all is well! Continuing to fight the good fight of Faith! Tinnitus is still here; however I think I have habituated quite a bit. About 2/3 of the time it does not bother me; and 1/3 of the time it still is somewhat afflictive. With my tinnitus being intermittent I do not know if...

Good morning Markku. I hope life has been good for you lately. Things are still up and down for me. My tinnitus has continued to be intermittent; 2/3 of the time it does not bother me, and 1/3 of the time it does somewhat. I am continuing to be bi-vocational at the moment; but I am preaching all...

I would describe my tinnitus as fluctuating (AKA intermittent), annoying and similar to Michael Leigh's case in some ways, but thankfully not as high or severe, as his gets.

I notice when i have fleeting tinnitus that most of the time everytime it happens its a different noise and level.. Sometimes im like oh well this noise isnt so bad then ill get one thats really annoying and be like oh god go away! How much do you experience the intermittent T like for 4 hours a...

Regarding the pulsating part, have you taken your blood pressure? I have pulsating and my blood pressure was quite high 150 up/110 down. I now take heart pills 5 mg a day. The pulsating part has calmed down for me, it's still there but not like before, also it's only been 10 days since I started...

Sulodexide has been used clinically for the prophylaxis and treatment of vascular diseases with increased risk of thrombosis, including intermittent claudication, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and post-myocardial infarction. Also investigated in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease...

Interesting. When I yawn it makes my tinnitus worse not better. What about deep breathing - does that make your tinnitus better or worse? It calms my intermittent tones. Are you subjected to loud noise through your work or socially. or have you been using headphones a lot?

Hi @ShellyW Are you taking any analgesics for the pain?

Thank you. Yes I know of a few members who have it intermittently (lucky them) and only one who has it non-stop like me. That’s why I wonder if anyone undergoing trial has it, it would be good to get some feedback if Lenire works for this type of tinnitus.

Does anyone think that crackling/clicking when swallowing/yawning may be an indication of eustachian tube problems? I've also had a stuffy nose since this started and ear felt plugged when tinnitus started in November. My t is intermittent (one day quiet, next day louder, etc.) and has remained...

Yes it’s so frightening!! I actually felt something crawling on my neck at first but I thought it was my hair or something but then it went into my ear and nope definitely a bug! I flipped out of course lol because the fluttering felt exactly like TTTS - same ear too! Happy to hear it all...

I just want to briefly mention that sometimes drug "seem" to work. But that doesn't mean they're not doing damage that's cumulative and long-term, and may not show up for months or years. IMHO, it's always better to seek out super safe non-drug alternatives. There's plenty of them out there...

Not really. I had mild tinnitus in 2016, but now I suffer from a severe version of tinnitus. I've an electric drill sound of around 70/80 dB, and two other sounds that I can hear almost everywhere; an intermittent engine noise (40 dB) and constant white noise (50/60 dB). The shower is ok, but...

QUOTE="Luman, post: 438175, member: 26153"]Sorry about your bad dental experience. I've had many dental procedures... Luman, thank you for your reply and words of wisdom. I will probably habituate over time (eventually) to the new level of tinnitus, but that new level is the result of more...

...I might not entirely follow, but I'm wondering if you think such a model could explain why some folks such as myself experience intermittent tinnitus, where tinnitus is either switched on for the day or switched off. In my case in particular, I'll have one loud volume day, followed by 2-5...

Interesting, thanks. Do you know the cause of yours?

I know it is very frustrating. I do not remember where I read it, but it was something to the effect that scientists think they have identified a gene that may be responsible for tinnitus. There are people like my 80-year-old father with hearing loss who has intermittent mild tinnitus and then...

My tinnitus also spikes when I drink water too fast. It's intermittent, though, so usually I don't hear it at all but occasionally do (once every few weeks or months) when I drink water quickly or sometimes just randomly. I can also sometimes trigger it by doing the valsalva maneuver. My...

...the melatonin supplementation, I would wake up approximately every 45 minutes all night long. Golly, you are so lucky to have intermittent tinnitus!:) Mine fluctuates, which is better than loud 24/7, but I wish it would disappear for weeks at a time. Sleep no longer affects my tinnitus; but...

For a long time I had to battle to convince G.P's my Daughter then 7 should not have a clicking noise in her ear that I could hear up to 6 inches away ! , we had both been reduced to tears that she was hearing things ! and I her Mother was making her anxiety of hearing things worse by being...

65vwbus, I don't know what else to say, except that I'm so sorry you have the three different tones to your tinnitus, plus the pain. Is your pain constant, or intermittent? Are you staying in touch with your doctor? Lots of hugs to you, and I hope that one day, your tinnitus will begin to...

I can say, with some assurance, that not caring about mild to moderate tinnitus isn't something unique to any individual, virtually all of us have the ability to do this, and most will , sooner or later. As this begins to happen, the brain calms down, and focuses on other things. I have...

For me the tones started to become intermittent and then the volume started to decrease after five nights... head tinnitus didn't come back in three weeks. Had a short episode again two days ago but still doing better as before the Tinnitus Mix.

Intermittent, gone for most of the day. Very manageable. It's not a soul crushing burden that makes me want to die anymore. I think the PRP treatment has a lot to do with that but sadly I have no evidence. I'm sure he will even tell you that there are no guarantees so if you do approach this, do...

@dfw, couldn't agree more! -- I've recently been experimenting with modified intermittent fasting, and the preliminary results have given me my first real sense of hope since my severe tinnitus/hyperacusis odyssey started over six months ago. -- Best!

I developed sudden tinnitus after surgery a week ago. I was told that the prednisilone needs to be taken within 2-4 weeks to be effective. Took it for one day and all symptoms vanished. Came back the next day so am back on it and hoping for a miracle. I can hear fine, just have horrid...

I’m not so sure. She and what sounds like fairly mild intermittent beeping tinnitus for 18 months. It could easily be coincidence I’m afraid.

I know this post is from awhile ago but I could not resist responding because I had no clue any medicine would quiet tinnitus. How well does it work?
