Hi @Steph1710 I have something similar to you in that when I go to bed at night if I lie on my front with my head positioned to the left then my tinnitus disappears and also if I lie on my right with my head straight and my shoulders down it either disappears or reduces phenomenally any other...

If you had hearing protection in when the alarm went off, then you are not going to have done any harm to your ears.

Hi, @Stocktrader86, I have a couple of thoughts about your condition. First of all, it is possible that, since your pulsating is intermittent, it could be tensor tympani syndrome. http://www.hyperacusis.net/other-factors/tensor-tympani-syndrome/ Tensor tympani may be associated with...

Interesting. For me exercised used to make me hear more balanced but lower, quieter (I had severe hyperacusis). However, lately exercise spikes my tinnitus a bit. It is strange...

Thanks for the kind words. The list of causes for the intermittent sensation of aural fullness is long and best left to folks who know more than I, but the fact that your ENTs "have found nothing abnormal" means that whatever is causing the fullness is of no clinical consequence. The reason...

Hello and welcome to the forum. There is a Pulsatile Tinnitus subsection here. I would recommend to check out this thread, it is really informative: If You Have Pulsatile Tinnitus, Here's the First Thing You Need to Do to Get Answers and a Diagnosis I also have tinnitus which can be stopped...

Plenty of people with tinnitus have complete silence, and sometimes for an extended period (e.g. 1-2 days). They have intermittent tinnitus, which is quite common.

I’m new with reactive tinnitus so I’m still trying to figure it out. Mine is instantly reactive to most sounds which I believe is manifesting as a super high frequency electrical sound. The original sound I hear doesn’t cause pain, but the sound my ears produce in response DOES hurt. It’s always...

Bastard indeed. I may have to go on a AD myself to break out of my noise loop. I hate the side effects though. I have hearing loss and tinnitus similar to you. Good luck to you with the black seed oil and keep us updated.

So for a number of years have always had a very low level of tinnitus. I lost a dear friend in December and the month before and during December my tinnitus has gotten worse which is now basically pulsating in my right ear. I have had an MRI and CT scan and both came back normal. I will say...

When my tinnitus first began, I would hear a distortion eerily similar to what you described. It was like a soft morse code that would steadily get louder and compete with any constant noise I would hear. Pretty much any nonstop sound would set it off. Music, running water, fans, tea kettle...

Before I had the DAVF repaired, I did have narrowing visual field when my heart rate/blood pressure was raised, like with exercise. If you're willing to travel to NYC, I could recommend to you specialists whom are some of the best in the world for your issue, and also who treated me.

Yeah, I have this problem. The intermittent fullness that feels like sinus issues but isn't really. It may be due to muscle contractions around the ear. It happened the other day after wearing Peltor muffs to use a loud blender. They were on tight, and then I felt the ear fullness for a few...

I have had tinnitus from acoustic trauma for 5 1/2 months, caused by a single gunshot after my rifle stock dislodged my earplug without me noticing. I’m worried about how stable my tinnitus will be in the future due to the damage. Currently, it’s a very mild tone that I don’t hear during the...

Sorry to hear that, Mine doesnt stop by plugging ears, but I have another intermittent low frequency (brown noise) buzzing tone that does. That tone can be both heard and felt, and putting a finger in my left ear (where the tone is at) stops it... the same happens if I listen to a brown noise...

@SillyMama your mentions of jerking eyes and tinnitus better/ or worse with different head/neck positions may start with cervical spondylosis – neck arthritis where bony growths may compress the vertebral arteries. Together or with very little age progression spondylosis - the vertebral...

Who here experiences tinnitus that reacts to the noises around them? I have had very mild tinnitus in both ears for a couple of months (high pitch, low volume, which I had mostly habituated to), but in the past few days my left ear is reacting to certain frequencies (especially electronic ones)...

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone hear the same tinnitus sound It is similar to ocean sound with beating (pulsing) When it first started with me, i was hearing heartbeat only on my right ear and rarely with the left one As time goes by, it changed to ocean sound and it pulses. It is On...

Hi, @sonicboom2000, No, I'm afraid I don't know of any other blood pressure drugs that we can be sure don't cause tinnitus. However, in your case, since yours is intermittent it may not get any worse. That's something only time will tell. In the meantime, it sounds like you've made some...

Thanks for posting the suggestions. I have intermittent tinnitus that I think is muscle-related, and relaxation exercises are helping some. My ENT was completely disinterested, but my TMJ doc cares. He recently suggested a magnesium supplement to help calm over-tense muscles. I'm becoming...

What makes you think that? As far as I know @kelpiemsp had had tinnitus for a very long time, since childhood. During the treatment his tinnitus fluctuated between being better and coming back. Regarding the timing question: I think Neuromod is very aware that individualised timings work...

Hi @gorzakus -- I didn't watch the video, but I don't think 2-3 weeks of fasting is necessary, and may even be dangerous if not conducted under pretty strict conditions. Given the environment we live in these days, I think it's more advantageous to think in terms of intermittent fasting, which...

...I make a call,or the phone ringing can bring it on. I've been busy since posting my introduction and have just stopped for a cup of tea. My noise was fine until I made a phone call. I'm wondering if there are any other intermittent tinnitus sufferers who find this happens after using the phone.

@JudyM Thank you for your kind comments Judy it is much appreciated. It took many months to write this article as I was going through a very difficult time with my tinnitus. I threw the towel in many times but support from some close friends enabled me to finish it. I am working on another...

I recently developed an intermittent low-pitched hum. This is in addition to the bilateral high-pitched tinnitus I’ve had for 13 years, which I have habituated to. The low-pitched hum fluctuates in volume and is worst at night, both when trying to sleep and in the morning when waking up. It’s...

Can you describe what exactly typewriter tinnitus is like? I had an ear surgery to remove an osteoma. After surgery I developed intermittent clicking in my ear. Dr said it would likely go away and I’ve seen others mention ear clicking being temporary after surgery. However, it’s be a year since...

The whoosh is intermittent but at times it can be heard when sitting still, particularly in the evening. The pulsing drives me crazy though because unlike the normal tinnitus, it comes with a sensation. I would say the water draining through a pipe is the worst of it, even though it happens...

I have persistent, intermittent tinnitus. Some days, it's there for a few hours, and stops. Others, it's on all day with no breaks. I would say that it's about 90% middle-head, sometimes a bit more on one side, because I sleep on my side with one earplug partially in whatever ear I'm not...

Thank you for your reply Greg. I realise that the problem could be arterial but so far have not found much information on pulsatile tinnitus with pain. Hadn't considered high blood pressure as I am actually a long-term user of beta blockers as a migraine preventative. Apart from the pulse and...

Hi @Natalie Roberts. Lovely to hear from you and I bet your girls have grown up loads. I hope it's my meds but with many years with tinnitus and Meniere's Disease I know the nature of the beast so one day at a time. love Glynis xx

This is interesting to me because I’m in a very similar category to you. I wake up with loud spikes that eventually go. I also have intermittent stuff that comes and goes and I can’t figure out any the connection. Yours sounds very similar. I would love to know more. You immediately get a...

Thank you for your response. Did you do anything to improve it? Medication etc.? Do you have any idea of the cause? Stress?

I see people speculating if FX-322 will help hyperacusis/noxacusis. Any speculation on if regeneration via FX-322 or another drug will help with TTTS at all? Also, my tinnitus is very reactive. When people speak of improvement, I wonder about reactivity. Of course it’s great to see these...

Does anyone else have low-frequency tinnitus that is not extremely low-pitched like a vibrating motor, but is in the 150 Hz to 350 Hz range, like the sound of a vacuum cleaner for example? In my left ear, where I have mild ETD (random popping and crackling since 8 months), I hear a low-pitched...

Hey again Tinnitus Talk! I have my first appointment tomorrow to try and discover where my tinnitus comes from (it's intermittent and unilateral tinnitus, some hours its a 9/10 on the tinnitus scale and some hours it's a 0/10, my root cause diagnosis is muscular/neck tension/TMJ related since...

Hello everyone! I've had tinnitus for years, almost 24/7, of varying pitches. It has always been louder in my right ear, and the same ear sometimes has what my ENT called pulsatile tinnitus, but it actually *feels* like thudding/rumbling. The PT started after a plane flight with a cold...

Four years ago I started noticing an odd sound in my house - sounded like a very low frequency hum, sort of like a foghorn, it was intermittent and no one else could hear it. I had heard of tinnitus of course, but associated that with ringing or buzzing not this very low humming noise. I scoured...

I know of one tinnitus "faker" who used to work with my mother in the public sector. Initially he used the excuse to get out of conscripted military service, eventually he used it as a way to shirk job responsibilities and eventually retired early. He confided in my mother that it was...

@shasta0863 -- She has relatively mild antibiotic induced tinnitus from many years ago. She's never had a problem with normal air-powered drills, but she could hardly believe how much quieter the electric one was. Since you're so nervous about this, I would try making a separate visit to a...

Thank you for your kind note. Yes, I feel fortunate to have the diagnosis. Knowing why can definitely help someone cope with such rattling symptoms. To answer your questions, my pulsatile tinnitus and autophony are intermittent but frequent. Generally, day-to-day noise and goings-on often...

More like a year. 9.5 kHz. Occasionally (seldom) 4-5 kHz. I realize tinnitus actually means there has to be sound. But there is so much more to damaged inner ears. Sometimes I get the feeling that a very sharp scalpel is cutting through my brains. I hate this condition:mad:

I’m near Chicago. I never Google. I don’t spend any time researching tinnitus. I don’t chase doctors, clinical trials, products, or solutions. I believe time, patience, and protection are the only real healers for sound-induced tinnitus. This board and ChatGPT are the only two places I go...

Hi there, I have posted before a long time ago now. My name is Lorna and I am a 47-year-old woman who works a a teaching assistant. Three years ago I had tinnitus in left ear, it was intermittent and like beeping that would eventually become one long tone. It would stop but always start...

Hi @WCJohn, happy to elaborate. One thing you should know about my tinnitus is that it's daily intermittent, so some days it's loud (shower loud), some days it's mild, and some days it's quiet (like whisper quiet to silent). I've learned that the switching trigger is deep sleep when I dream. Not...

Hi all, I underwent what I thought is an acoustic shock with headphones back in March. While I have largely habituated to my tinnitus, I have some TTTS in my right ear and some sensitivity to higher frequency sounds. My right ear is the one with a more significant hearing loss as well...

Very interesting post. If all was accurate you would be a world authority on tinnitus!, as it's certainly more than my ENT seemed to know. In all seriousness, I think there is some good points here, but again we don't know completely if all of this is right. It's certainly plausible. Based on...

Hmm, I wonder if it's the same, the thing is, mine is quite high pitched and intermittent, b,bbbbb,bb,bbbb,bb,bb. Doesn't seem to have any pattern. Is this what people call typewrite tinnitus? I need somebody who has this, or has had this variation to let me know. Would be very useful as...

Firstly, I probably should say that I'm one of the "lucky" ones whose tinnitus has been intermittent, pretty much from the start -- well, after the first 2 or 3 days. I'd like to give people hope, but not false hope, but anyway, these days, the frequency ("often-ness", not the pitch :D)...

I had the dentist use intermittent pulsing of the drill - one second on, one second off. that seems to have done the job. then dentist was very well aware of the issue, and so he did not subject me to any continuous drilling, which with tinnitus it has to do with both time X intensity, and you...

6th month mark. So. To keep this not too long... I wish I had good news to report, but I do not have any. My tinnitus appears to be steadily the same as 6 months ago when it began. I really hoped to see some improvement by now, but apart from few minor random moments of low tinnitus nothing...

For the longest time I asked myself "why me", it was tough to accept that I'm not getting rid of the constant swishing and intermittent ringing. Years later I've come to accept it but it still bothers me especially under situations I need to perform tasks that require max concentration. Maz...

Mine is also very tough on me just now Tracy. Thinking of you, and just wishing things could get better for both of us. Dave xxx

Hey @Jupiterman - I have to agree, it seems like we have similar experiences, and @DeanD also seems to experience daily fluctuation. Mine did start at the end of March 2022, and it was immediately daily intermittent. It was far more chaotic in the beginning, probably because my sleep was a...

Hi all, I’ve had a horrible cough and that and my tinnitus have made it hard to sleep. I ask the ENT what to take and she said Mucinex. I need a cough suppressant mainly so I took Mucinex DM. I asked the pharmacist if it was safe with my tinnitus. I didn’t want to aggravate it. He looked and...

@linearb -- You may find THIS STORY interesting (on a different forum). It's bu a man got rid of his tinnitus after starting a ketogenic diet--after having suffered with tinnitus for 5 1/2 years.

I have begun to notice that when I get a spike of t, there is intermittent pain deep in my ear on that side. So, for instance in March I had a few days where the t in my right ear was louder than usual, and I got moments of pain in that ear. Now I've been having a spike in the left ear for a few...

Not sure if they can be habituated to honestly. I just deal with them, very annoying. I distract and keep busy. I would like to see if someone habituated to something similar. Visual snow? That’s just awful and I’m sorry.

I was in rock 'n roll bands in my youth and have had intermittent tinnitus for 50 years or so. I'm now a performing arts photographer and sometimes am exposed to loud music. Wear earplugs which help but sometimes it's so loud, even they don't help. In recent months it has gotten worse - louder...

I started Nortriptyline in early August 2021 and I’ve gained 10 pounds since then. My diet has been shit the last month or so and I haven’t exercised well enough, but I believe I’ve mitigated the weight gain through 18/6 intermittent fasting. 12:30 pm-6:30 pm is my eating window. On May 15th...

I'm hoping someone can give me a little insight...my above post explains a lot of my current symptoms. It's going from bad to worse... I have EXTREME fullness in both ears, a dull ache as well as intermittent sharp pains, high pitched tinnitus both continuous and pulsatile, and I now also a low...
