Hi @GoatSheep, That sounds somewhat similar. Good thing is that you are able to use residual inhibition. If I find some noise that masks the humming (dish washer is pretty good) I will be back to humming as soon as the masking sound disappears. I have understood that many people find hard to...

I would trade in my high pitched tinnitus for a low humming any time. In fact I already had a form of tinnitus which resembled the noise of an old refrigerator that I didn't even consider tinnitus.

Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling for so long. I’m still struggling too. I’m getting married this year and I’m currently a medical student. I’ve barely gotten through this year, and there have been times when I’ve left home and wanted to call everything off. I’m just wondering how you cope...

I think there’s a (newish,) bilateral low humming sensation that’s almost pressure-like

...The tinnitus itself started on the 6th day, but my doctor and I weren't sure it was because of olanzapine. The sound was a VERY LOW humming tone, like a car engine outside the house (though it wasn't a very loud tone, from my research other people have it much worse volume wise)...

...to sound. I had low frequency deafness in the right ear (why not the left I don't know). The right ear would occasionally get the low humming tinnitus which lasted for a few seconds (at most 30 seconds). Both ears suffer the sound of the ocean, constantly but it is the low hum that is...

Wouldn't that be residual inhibition, same as when you do sound therapy?

No, that's not how it works. None of us "low-hummers" are saved by earplugs. You really need to go check our low hum thread, lots of good information in it. Most of us can stop the hum by putting our fingers in our ears, this is (probably) because of the noise the finger makes against the ear...

Hi everyone, (Sorry in advance for the long post.) I have what I believe is reactive and somatic unilateral tinnitus. It began very suddenly three months ago, on April 13. Some days, it is just a low hum with barely any beeping or buzzing. Last week, I even had five days in a row that were...

No one knows this. Maybe someone has asked that question in the upcoming Q&A.

@ATownsend75, are you still here? Any updates? I have the exact same: Low hum that stops when I'm spoken to or when I shake my head left to right. It stops for a second and then it picks back up. Very strange, to say the least. Not sure if this is "typical" tinnitus (if there is such a thing)...

I've had tinnitus since 1996. It started as a high-pitched hissing, and the a few months later, a low-pitched hum was added to the mix. I habituated to the hissing, but the humming nearly drove me to suicide. I could feel it in my ears as well as hear it. I hear the hissing all the time, but it...

My tinnitus is (or was) also a low humming, but nothing stops it.

In addition to my ultra-high reactive tinnitus, I've recently discovered some kind of reaction to certain low frequencies, e.g. the loud radiator in my new apartment. When the fan kicks on, it hums at E flat (approx 155 Hz), plus a bit of an octave-down undertone (half that), and after too much...

Hello everyone, I'm also a fellow low humming/drone or whatever we call it these days sufferer and I've also been lurking over this forum for a while now. My symptoms are very similar to a lot of people with low frequency tinnitus as in I can somewhat modulate its intensity with jaw and neck...

The pain is gone, but now I have a low humming sound. I'm losing my mind.

Hey felau, did you ever find a cause of fix to your low end humming?

Hi, Those of us with low humming, who has: - static hissing - forward head posture - continuously or sporadically clogged ears? My chiropractic says all my issues are related to forward head posture...

What's up with this low humming sound that comes and goes for many of us? Was gone for like 6 months, now back in bass thump city.

Sorry to hear your humming returned and you are having a hard time. I find your post quite hopeful nevertheless as you were able to find a way to reduce the humming and I believe your situation will improve this time as well. Is this new humming result of some peak of depression or anxiety...

Thanks for these thoughts. Please continue to stay strong as well. How are you managing these days? Do you avoid taking flights because of the noise and concern that it could make the humming worse?

Hey guys. Just been getting some more new unwelcome T joining the orchestra in my head, this time a low humming noise in my head that came out of the blue. Since then although the T itself is quiet, I hear it noticeably humming over certain low frequency noises, such as road noise when I'm...

I HATE humming and low thumps more than any other sound. I'll take the ee or a hiss anyday. I literally remember when I was better hearing static in both ears in silence thinking... you know... this is just static... it's peaceful actually. The low bass crap is bs.

Otosclerosis is a middle ear disease (mainly - there's a "cochlear" variant too). I experienced intermittent humming.

Your muffled hearing came on spontaneously with no noise exposure?

Welcome to the forum. There may not be enough readership in the Introduction to respond to your question about low humming tinnitus. But this has been discussed frequently in the past. You can do a search such as this link below and get much needed info about low humming tinnitus. Good luck. God...

Een goedendag uit het koude Noorden, @Ben Winders :) Low humming as a byproduct of your 4 kHz dip? Wow, that would be a hell of an interesting side effect. I don't think it's that likely :D There's only one particular study (see Sereda et al., 2015) that suggests that the tinnitus frequency...

Some hum causes: Venous hum is humming sound in veins due to blood flow. The blood flows to the brain from heart and or aortic vessels via the internal carotid and arteries of vertebrae. This humming sound is produced due to the vibration of the veins - blood flow in veins. An interventional...

Was reading that low humming can come from a constricted cervical artery near the mastoid.

Well, my low humming vibrating noise is back from hell after being in remission for almost a year. Only in left ear. Yesterday it was not that bad, I could sleep some hours with Clonazepam, didn't hear it in the morning, then it came back and now it sucks. But what I don't understand and maybe...

Flying is a non-issue - I strongly believe. Just try to get a seat in front of the engines and keep earplugs handy if you need them. Unless it's a very old plane, it's not so loud in there. I did not fly for about 2 years after my onset (I have low-humming tinnitus, so I was especially scared...

Can the low humming come from you neck? Somethimes i feel like there is a strap around my neck/head and somewone is pulling hard on it. Still have the low humming, somethimes its loud en when someone is talking to loud or slam the door a feel a vibration in my ear. My ears are clicking when...

I have 2 different high pitched ones, one in each ear, and a low humming in both.

I tried most antidepressants and found that they slowly increased my tinnitus. My life goes on and so does my tinnitus. For me, acceptance is my only means to continue to live.

What do you use to mask the low humming? have you habituated to it?

Not even Dr. De Ridder in Ghent (Belgium) knows what this type of tinnitus is, so I wouldn't dare to speak on anything Dr. Susan Shore is working on in terms of it working or not working. We don't even know if it will work on regular tinnitus. So let's keep our vision open. That said - I'm...

Middle ear myoclonus is clicking tho isnt it? The videos I saw of that are not even close to low humming.

Sounds like you’re about twice as far along as me. I need hope, and this has given me that. Thank you. I’m generally a relaxed guy and working on finding my way back to that. It’s warm and sunny here. I’m off work because of tinnitus, and I have friends rotating to meet up with. I go to the gym...

@GregCA : Thank you for the info. R u still suffering from T? Mine is a low humming...

If you’re still here, did it get progressively louder? Or the same thing on and off over 20 years. Did you have lots of noise exposure in your life?

Yes I had the same since early March that I ended up low humming tinnitus in my good ear after a cold which probably will never go away ☹️

...super loud but I put resonator in the muffle so it has become lot quieter. It's still around 70-75 dB. Do you guys think it's too loud? I avoid ALL loud places but I am really into cars and I can't imagine giving up this car. Again not too loud but it has very low humming noise like...

I'm another one with low humming after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. I told two doctors. They thought I was wrong and it couldn't happen. Looks like they should have been giving me steroids. Ah well. My faith in Doctors is well and truly lost.

Hello, i am in the EXACT same situation with the low humming like you... Did you found any solution yet?? Thank you Antony

Do you mean a passive silicone earplug or an active one (emitting sound)? In the second case I am afraid to irritate continuously my ear nerves. I am convinced both my hissing and low humming come from branches of facial nerve which is irritated.

This is a total rant and I'm disorganized so I'm sorry Hi, I've had the usual high-pitched hear-over-everything scream that a lot of y'all have for 2 years now, along with moderate to severe hyperacusis and EXTREMELY reactive tinnitus to noise, medication, and exercise. Two months ago I took 2...

I agree: this type of tinnitus is the worst. High-pitched ringing is not fun, but for me the low booming, rumbling, and pounding was harder to deal with. The high ringing is generally above other things in my environment that I'm trying to listen to, but the mid-range and low sounds could easily...

There's an interesting thread of people (including myself) that have the exact same thing. I guess, like with all of us, the humming stops when people talk to you or when you put your finger in your ear? I know it sounds crazy right now, but trust me, you WILL be able to cope. It will take a...

That sounds like residual inhibition (google it). In my non-scientific opinion it shows your tinnitus can be suppressed with sounds. This might help with any future sound treatments in the pipeline but I'm just speculating.

Meg, I think we have the same thing. Mine is in the left ear as well. I had a systemic infection that spread to both ears. In my left ear, I have a baseline hum. In quiet environments, it stays as a steady tone. In noisier environments—such as with road traffic, the dryer, or street noise—it...

Hey, Yes definitely with fan sounds. Ie. low humming noises.

Out of curiosity, has your eustachian tube been evaluated?

@Aaron44126 : i am so glad to hear, mine is very low humming. Im hoping it will fade away soon. Keep me updated.

I have two low frequency hums that I hear when it's quiet, loud high frequency ringing/hissing that I hear 98% of the time, and middle tones that multiply when I turn over in bed. Trust me when I say the low humming is the least of my worries.

Will this device work for people who have mild/moderate low frequency hearing loss? I have a hissing/ringing that is caused by noise damage but I also have a very low pitch droning/humming that I think is caused by low frequency loss. At the moment, it bothers me much more than the high pitch noise.

"The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming" "It seems to be possible for hearers to move away from it, with one hearer of the Taos Hum reporting its range was 48 km" @Siskiy Interesting but probably not...

I have has tinnitus now for nearly a year. It started out of the blue one morning (no load noises or anything) in my right ear. Doctors all said it was infection, usuall round of antibiotics with no change. I eventually saw an ENT doctor who did steriod injections in the ear drum. It got...
