Dear Dr. Nangler, I live in a country where hearing therapists - namely those who treat tinnitus and hyperacusis patients - do not exist. So please allow me to ask a question, which keeps nagging me - and thank you at the same time for the enormous help that you offer to all of us who suffer...

I think you shoud reduce activity as much as you can for a couple of weeks. Do not bend over, do not lift anything heavy, avoid coffee and salt, and take a mild diuretic like Dandellion root tea 2-3 times a day to reduce head pressure. I am not saying you have intracranial hypertension (if you...

Haha I didn't even think of that when I created it! I just liked the character. But it fits!

Tinnitus is a phantom sound that comes from the brain due to many reasons. Hearing loss, ear trauma, medication and the list goes on.

Mine is the same. Try not to do what I did and become obsessed about changing your T by clenching your jaw or pushing on your head. I do this all the time to try and get my T to stop and have become a bit OCD about it

@skoupidis To answer your questions: My tinnitus was sudden onset, unilateral, pulsitile tinnitus with no acoustic trauma. It sounded like a high-pitched car alarm going off in my head. I also developed severe H in that ear. Best to you!

Thank you for getting back to us,....... healing is what I need and others who have had a head/ ear trauma. Your experience is encouraging. I shall do this when i have the funds. I too have tension headaches. Thanks again for the valuable information. Wishing you well

When I first experienced acoustic trauma, for a couple of days afterward, whenever I spoke, I heard what I could only describe as a "cloud of frequency" blooming around my voice, as well as the voices of other people. After a those initial days, it subsided, and I only catch a glimpse of it if...

...(Piracetam) Does anyone else have experience with them and was there any result? Can they make my symptoms worse in some way? By the way I have dizziness periods from a head trauma and the doctor said this should be addressed with the pills as well. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice.

...something, what happens in short time. Gradually induced hearing loss (by age, or some kind of slow genetic degeneration), may induce T too, but with less probability. And hissing (age induced T) is more acceptable and habituable than pure low or high pitched tones (acustic or head trauma...

...not have any hearing loss. I can hear a leaf drop in a quite room.. lol My T is most likely due to elevated intracranial pressure after head trauma and or related to head Trauma. I got a Lumbar Puncture to bring pressure down to 13. But it goes up so I'm thinking of getting another later...

Yea hopefully there will be a cure in the next decade or two. T is very complicated, even if they find a cure, it may not work for all T patients as T is caused by many disfunctions such as ear infection, head or ear trauma, brain fluid, stress, hair cell damage I think? and who knows what else...

@Contrast "It is my own personal hypothesis that noise induced trauma alone can lead to trigeminal neuralgia type symptoms. Any thoughts on this?" For example when the pain first appears in the ear, then continues to spread in other parts of the head because of it?

I’m sure it could though I don’t know for certain. Tinnitus is such a garbage thing, I believe it can be caused by almost anything. Low or high minerals in the body. Poor diet. Stress. Head injury. Noise trauma. Chemical exposure, mold exposure. Colds. Sinus infections. Spinal/skull/jaw...

Head trauma tinnitus i think is unique compared to noise induced tinnitus. my tinnitus was much worse initially than it is today. still annoying, very annoying to say the least. with the amount of concussions in hockey and football i wonder how many pro athletes get tinnitus?

I’m so sorry. I can understand why you are feeling suicidal and unable to enjoy life after this. Has your tinnitus level stayed there same since the acoustic trauma? My tinnitus has become so much louder from preventable things too, and I also have gone over the incidents over and over and...

Why did butthead impale beavis with his 10ft wang

If it is dead/damaged hair cells, it will probably help. An OAE test can show the health of your hair cells.

...Every single episode the characters have gunshots going off next to their ears, massive explosions blowing around them, car crashes, head trauma etc... Sometimes when they get blown up they play a tinnitus ringing sound but it always goes away... if only. It would be so easy to just have a...

Dear all, I would like to share my whole story, in the hope to get some support, that maybe someone can relate and to warn others in their early days of noise induced tinnitus, if they might read it. I am 32 years old, male, from Germany, I have always loved loud music, was going to concerts...

I’m sorry to find you going through this. I’ve been a long-term sufferer myself since 1992. I got some relief in 1996 from TRT, which helped with the tinnitus but not much with the hyperacusis. In 2016 and 2017, the tinnitus seemed to worsen again, and now it is back to the disturbing level it...

...bite structure will lead to my teeth inevitably breaking. I'm not sure if I grind my teeth in my sleep. - In terms of cervical issues/head trauma, I can't think of any recent problems with either (other than the back of the head pain I mentioned earlier). But that pain, as far as I can tell...

@Greg Sacramento

...which have gradually reduced, but still there with the tinnitus. Just reading through the forum, I might up some supplements, especially magnesium, in case it's the healing process needing extra minerals. Anyone know how long it takes the head trauma after a minor concussion to settle down?

Hey everyone. I had tinnitus for a year and then suddenly 3 months ago I developed reactive tinnitus, hyperacusis, brain zaps, exploding head syndrome, eye floaters, visual snow, seeing flashing white lights while waking up, among other symptoms. I thought I was the only one and it turns out...

...fluid travel to the ears. All common with tinnitus, although this sort of stuff could be cause. You wrote this in another post: "It seems that the jarring motion of driving on an uneven surface shook up my tinnitus. It happens if I bang my head accidentally as well or other such head trauma..."

...fluid build-up feeling pressured, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma, head trauma & injury, neck problems, hearing loss, Meniere's, barotrauma from rapid change of atmospheric pressure, ear or head slapping, grief for the loss...

...been ruled out, then the only thing that matters is how your tinnitus affects your life. And in that regard whether your tinnitus was caused by head trauma or by noise is totally irrelevant. Well, I'm not sure how "expert" it is, but you are most welcome nonetheless. Dr. Stephen Nagler

Hi Martin, my T did not come from a head trauma, but a good friend got very bad T after an auto accident, it lasted about 4-5 months for her. Today she is tinnitus free. I think there's a good chance you will fall into this category..

Hi I'm new here was told 4 weeks ago I have Tinnitus,.it started after my recent car accident with a Deer(buck) 10/31/2014. had some whiplash,mild head trauma and now the ringing in my ears 24/7 won't stop.....YIKES.....Im a total mess

Update at nearly 10 months post acoustic trauma. It's still up and down. Currently I'm on what seems to be a spike, though I wonder how much the variability of my tinnitus intrusiveness is real vs. in my head. Whether I am continuing to improve or not at this point, I really can't tell. I...

@luka that is so odd. How did your trauma occur? Do you also have other health issues related to the head area? For instance, for me, I have had slight inflammatory issues beforehand, and it felt a bit like inflammation and fluid in my head. This has been getting so much better with the right...

Hello, I am new to this site. I have had high-pitched tinnitus in my left ear for 28 years following an ear trauma caused by a diving accident. In that time I have adapted to it to the point that it never bothered me at all. At times the tone of my tinnitus drops from the high pitch to a low...

Was there any head trauma? Did the airbag deploy?

Let's see what happens this year and hope for the best. :pompous: At the moment I have a hiss and static morse code sound that seems to blare out from just my left ear or just right ear or just my head o_O I had hyperacusis for a few weeks but that's nearly gone now... Sometimes I notice some...

...the start of tinnitus I’ve had a weird metallic / bitter taste but not in my tongue, it was on my skin everywhere. Which seems to have disappeared just today. I thought it was from cortisone so I never mentioned it, however online it seems to be tied to ear infections and CNS / head trauma, lol.

Congrats man. I wish I had very mild tinnitus. I'm at 5 months and it's still severe at about 8/10. Today it seems much worse for some reason. Mine wasn't even acoustical trauma. Just started one day while watching TV. No hearing loss either. I don't use headphones or go to concerts or clubs. I...

...to be treatable by sound therapy, it may go away but no guarantees. It certainly does have to do with hearing damage. Probably genetic hearing loss, unless you had a head trauma. Stress alone will not cause tinnitus and hyperacusis. Did your hyperacusis come back when your tinnitus got worse?

Thank you for such kind words. Yes, early trauma and compressed feelings are very much a part of my trauma with tinnitus.

Well it happened they used a towel touched my ear even the inside the edge of the ear I believe that's why it came back

Well, i would say that trauma is, a force that pushed the jaw, or an opening of the jaws too much, during a visit to the dentist, or while yawning. As for the culprit for a neck that causes tinnitus, i would also say trauma, but, bad position of the neck over a long period of time may also lead...

More likely it will get worse with time, any additional acoustic trauma will make it worse. After 9 years my tinnitus transformed from being able to hear it only in silence to severe blasting sound that's even hurting my brain physically (headache + head burning sensation) Enjoy the time when...

Or by the fact that they suffered a concussion. With memory and other concerns, obviously the accident caused some head trauma. Maybe swelling near the auditory nerve? Phil, have you had an MRI?

I completely agree with this. I have hunted with massive ear protection--wearing both foam earplugs an the highest-level earmuffs available. I shoot the gun and hear hardly any sound, but half an hour later the tinnitus ramps up for weeks. I will not do this again. I've had several incidents of...

So, my tinnitus is absolutely and definitely noise induced - acoustic trauma, hearing loss. But, I find that when I scratch my head about an inch behind my ear (more so right ear), it elevates the tinnitus volume for the duration of the scratching. @Greg Sacramento may I get your opinion on...

Sounds not unlike the effects of a barotrauma.

...build-up feeling pressured, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure, acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as flights, slapping of the...

No neck, jaw problems or head trauma... I had my hearing checked and they said I have good hearing, in fact it is the exact same as tested in 2006... This happened a few days after I contracted the flu and had an MRI... It's been constant for 7 weeks... Before the loud tinnitus I did notice a...

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/somatic-tinnitus.812/page-3#post-253485 It's a good introduction: Many get this form of T, from nerve damage. Nerve and Jaw dental trauma will cause this type of T quite often. Then come the neck pain, jaw pain head ache, face pain and you name it. Some back...

I was reading this website - and came across the same thing. I have left ear tinnitus that is like an electrical noise. More recently tho - I’ve got “head noise” like hissing in the head somewhere - no recent noise trauma however. Ears full of wax 2 colds in 2 months with blocked nose etc...

Just picking up on when you can be sure the washer was on/off next door, I can relate to that - when my hyperacusis was shall I say through the roof, and ears plugged up, before I started my self healing, and being kind to Ed work - I could have heard a pin drop in that next house you are...

This is good news to get out of the house @Hardwell. In addition to this, taking up a new hobby or interest will help to take your mind off the tinnitus. The habituation process takes time, especially after a second noise trauma. Be patient and stay resilient. The tinnitus will fluctuate and...

Hi @TomLo5 Have you had an audiogram? You have listed noise and a head trauma as the source of your tinnitus, which is it predominately? Sounds like you have had physical traumas to your Inner ears, clapping your hands hurt you. Sorry... .for being a kill joy. You should tell friends...

@ItsNate101 Last night while I was in my bed I heard something very similar to a distant female choir in my head. One of the interesting things is that during that sound electrical hiss tinnitus (in the head) stopped. I didn't even notice that until sound of choir stopped. I thought I was...

If it's somatic physical tinnitus - yes as in link above, Somatic physical tinnitus start with forceful or strained movement of head, neck and/or jaw. Small acoustic signals are generated. The immune system can also be weak with infection which can react to many many parts of the ear...

...it's common knowledge in tinnitus communities that audiologist are wrong about hearing loss (they do not keep up to date with hearing loss research) http://hyperacusisfocus.org/innerear/#hiddenloss Because your tinnitus was caused by head trauma you may be a exception and not have hearing loss.

SSHL can be caused by almost everything. An acoustic trauma is a cause of SSHL. As soon as there is damage or irritation you have a hearing loss. For instance, malformation of the inner ear head injury or trauma loud-noise exposure neurologic conditions immune system diseases Ménière’s...

Yep, I had minor hearing loss, but never tinnitus. The tinnitus started immediately after a concussion in a car accident. Hearing tests before & after the accident showed no change in hearing. My tinnitus is static and all over my head. It often feels like it is coming from the top of my...

I'm sure I've read this information on a study about HIFU but I don't remember where...regarding my story,I had an acoustic trauma nine months ago (while listening to loud music) with first tinnitus onset in the right ear and a slight hearing loss at 4k hertz. They disappeared with some steroid...
