Good day everyone, I've had acoustic trauma induced tinnitus since November 21st, 2020. These last two weeks my dizziness and eye pain has taken a toll. I went to the eye doctor, and she confirmed my eye health looks good. However, recently I've felt dizziness and a ton of head pressure...

Have you heard of hidden hearing loss or central hearing loss from head trauma?

I don’t mean to diminish your problems but I wish mine had waited until my late 40’s I’m so sorry you are struggling as well though, none of us deserve this no matter how old we are.

Definitely like the concussion simile. I know a guy locally who is a rugby player. He had loads of concussions. Went to see him fight a Thai boxing exhibition fight. One kick to the head and he was OUUUUUUUUT. Suffered massive memory loss after, kept re-introducing himself to people. There's no...

There will be never be one cure for all types of T. So many different reasons people get T. Head,neck trauma, noise induced,anxiety etc. All you socalled experts saying no about this and that treatment. Some of you think you know so much..but you dont know jack shit. What works for one...

Things may improve. My first year with hyperacusis and tinnitus was absolute hell. I cried a lot and even once sat on the floor, banging my head against the wall. Life was miserable. Thankfully, the hyperacusis eventually resolved. I still have some sensitivity and avoid power equipment, loud...

Hi all, I've had t for 7 weeks now caused by noise trauma, really hit me hard, appears to be in my right ear, although the noise has changed a lot from head buzzing and a high pitched noise to just high pitch noise, as of today this has increased significantly in volume and am back to panic...

Here are the links: This article talks about the symptoms of somatic tinnitus http://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/somatic-tinnitus/#.VMroctX3-ix Somatic tinnitus usually occurs in one ear only. There are a number of tinnitus properties that suggest a somatic component: 1 – Intermittency, 2...

I'm currently taking Topamax to control intracranial pressure and headaces due to head Trauma almost year ago.. I hate taking meds. All meds come with some long term side effects. No one knows if you take a particular med Trobalt etc..for 2 years what effect if will have on your kidneys...

I avoid going to bars and especially clubs where music is very loud and dumb girls grinding with any loser that walks by. My T is due to head trauma but since getting T if I go to a bar, club with out plugs my T spikes up the entire night. Fk T... before I would go to bars, clubs and never...

...reply to private messages for some reason? But look at my second post, I answer some of your questions there. I have no ear pain, sounds don't seem loud to me at all. No history of neck or head trauma or brain issues. Only thing is that my jaw makes a clicky noise sometimes when I yawn or eat.

...the brain also has neuroplasticity, so under certain conditions it can compenstate. That's my take on it. Edit, well I shouldn't say brain damage unless head trauma, but maybe it goes into a hyperactive state which is very hard to reverse. Also I really doubt tinnitus is a government conspiracy.

No, mine has not. :( To answer your question. That is probably because it is more of a neurological problem for you than an ear problem. (it can be both) My acoustic trauma hit my left ear the hardest, and the left side is where the baseline tone that never goes away is the worst. That...

I thought that too, yet it started after a head MRI and has been growing louder since then. I suspect noise trauma. That 250 Hz is the worst. Even benzos barely allow me to function.

60 mg is standard dosage for sudden hearing loss. Vitamin A, C, E, Magnesium, + NAC may be helpful. Free radical scavengers, vitamins A, C, and E, plus magnesium reduces noise trauma Vitamins A, C, and E and selenium in the treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss Vitamin E...

One of the most common causes of hyperacusis is exposure to loud noise/acoustic trauma. Other things can cause it too. Head Injury Adverse reaction to medication or surgeries Chronic ear infections Auto immune disorders The side effects of drugs Lyme disease TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint...

...Before my tinnitus i had terrible health anxiety for a few months so maybe that had also something to do with my onset ( together with my head trauma/cold or long time noise). I‘m sure you will improve, is your nose still full? Maybe also your ETs are a bit full so maybe steam inhalation...

@pinklights98 You may want to go see a TMJ specialist and get fitted for a nightguard. Recently I talked to a neuroscientist through Facebook who had just developed tinnitus from acoustic trauma himself (loud concert). He said that his t got so much better after he was fitted for nightguard...

@Mathew Gould Was there neck soreness before the jaw problem or the opposite? Jaw problems can cause neck problems, but way more often the neck causes jaw problems. If the neck soreness started first, was it caused by muscle trauma, lifting, bending head forward within some activity - head...

After my onset of high-frequency reactive tinnitus in January, I stopped trying different supplements and treatments to fix it. The only things I currently take are 4 g of Omega-3, 400 mg of Magnesium Biglycinate, and 1000 IU of Vitamin D3. I’m no longer trying to find my frequency, as it’s...

I read your original post, and I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like your case is exceptionally severe. Can I gently suggest that you still have time to improve, and that your condition isn’t necessarily permanent? It seems you’ve had tinnitus for about the same amount of time as...

I'm reading this with great interest. Myself, I suffered a head injury back in January. My T is not pulsatile however, it is a constant tone, high pitched, primarily in my right ear (or right side of the head). Applying pressure to my temple region, moving my jaw a certain way, and...

A typical feature if head trauma T is delayed onset. Infact closed head injury patients have a wide variety of other neurological deficits that appear in days and weeks and not immediately. This is due to cell death in the brain and this process takes some time. My T started after about 24 hours...

@Simon Czt With displacement of the articular disk of the jaw as you describe would involve compressive force to your retrodiskal tissues. This could associate to pulling of the lateral pterygoid muscle. Trauma from this associates to cervical hyperextension or/and from hitting head. Retrodiskal...

Not screaming. Discharging a very large high pressure air tank with my head on the other side of it in a small 8'x6' room. There was no reason to discharge it at all and he happened to have hearing plugs in at the time for whatever reason.

Interesting. About 15 or so years ago I got the low rumbling truck engine ticking over on idle sound when I used a foam earplug to block out a neighbour's dog barking at 6 am every day. That noise then used to only come out for a month or so when I was sick with a cold. I would do everything to...

Most football players have T. Google it. Especially if they had a few concussions while playing. I too have T from head trauma.. but I think mine is due to high intracranial pressure. Normal icp is usually 5 to 15. Mine was 33.. my head felt like it was going to explode until I got a...

i got T due to a hard slap on my left side of the head = ear -> perforated ear drum etc. So in my case left ear. Of course they ask you where the T sounds is most present in my case left and center of head. This means that ear projects (how they call it) the sound from left to center..

Almost never, changed a little after I got injections into the eardrum, but I think that was just the procedure. After a couple weeks it was back to the same damn high pitched buzzing in my head that can't be masked. Does that mean it's more chronic if it never changes? It seems like...

The only thing consistent with tinnitus is inconsistency. I think going to a restaurant is too uncontrolled to be safe for someone with relatively new tinnitus, but you will find your limits by experience. The hard thing for me was linking the experience to my tinnitus level, as there was...

I think he means even across the frequencies, not between the ears. My hearing loss is fairly equally bilateral too, and I have a freakin’ orchestra of different tones and hisses in my head/ears. I think what mostly matters is how quickly and/or severe the trauma on your cells/synapses are. A...

Steve, I appreciate your positive energy and dedication to this site and cause. I'm 2.5 weeks having T, (acoustic trauma , TMJ) On a Prednisone steroid, preparing to deal long term & have many side effects I've had good days just accepting my sounds and using the advice on this site. My one...

I would doubt it. CTE is usually caused by bruising to the lining of the brain be it from repeated blows to the head such as a boxer or rugby player. It’s this bruising that is thought to release proteins which cause the degenerative brain disorder. Acoustic trauma can however cause tinnitus...

Thanks for your message @undecided , From your mouth to god's ears My T was definitely brought on @ the onset of my head trauma, the aspect that makes it more complex is the preexisting high-frequency hearing loss on the side of trauma. Praying that that doesn't preclude me from the likelihood...

Did your doctor not recommend vestibular physical therapy? Surprised they would immediately choose meds over physical therapy if not, or at least a combination of both.

All acoustic trauma or very loud prolonged noise exposure guarantees some hearing loss even if it does not show up on a 250-8000hz audiogram. Protect your hearing and hope for the best recovery. No guarantee's but get a steroid to be safe. If you had tinnitus mildly before did you suspect...

Because your T was caused by direct head trauma which probably damaged your audiotory brain, perhaps in the future signal timing and epilepsy drugs will help. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/new-university-of-michigan-tinnitus-discovery-%E2%80%94-signal-timing.2805/page-2 Please keep in...

I had tmjd.... Years before the trauma...but I wasn't exposed at higher until it happened....now I feel more myofacial pain.... Forward head bending...That's me :( I'm always like that... Mouth open too long.... I do that too... Clenching...yes Neck pain....yes before and after. Oh...

My instinct regarding sound exposure is to take reasonable precautions, which will vary depending on one’s personal situation. For those with hyperacusis, more rigorous protection is necessary. Similarly, for those with reactive tinnitus, additional precautions are also important. For me...

I'm sorry to hear that. Well as you know, surgeries like this (hifu, dbs) are done only as a last resort.

Hello Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to go through my old posts to help me. I really appreciate it. I believe my first experience with tinnitus was due to cervical problems (I have a protrusion), which would explain all the symptoms I had at the time. My ENT...

This is my first post, and I got my tinnitus from an ototoxic med (glipizide), which resulted in a bi-lateral inner ear infection. A few months later, the doctor gave me a prescription for Remeron, for sleep, and just 2 mg of this med resulted in partial deafness in my left ear, and damage in...

So then what is different about pusatile tinnitus?

Indeed. But maybe it is about gradual vs. sudden onset, i.e. the theory that gradual hearing loss allows the brain to adjust. It's the sudden (due to noise trauma) loss that makes the brain go haywire. And people's tolerances may vary here. I had a fair amount of noise exposure in my youth -...

Damn thats so harsh. If it makes you feel a bit better, i had the same experience with my ent. I told him i got t from a concussion. He said thats impossible, its stress...

Had an acoustic trauma on a nightclub the same time as you. The first two weeks it was loud!! 10/10!! Now its 7/10 some days better than others, But mostly loud! Still hoping it will fade over time because its only been two months. My sound Also changes all the time from left to right ear to...

Well damn, I have a bit of them now.

I apologize I missed this comment, yeah hidden hearing loss to the moon. lol

Sorry Freeatlast - I’m pretty hopeless at navigating this site. The acoustic trauma happened on my left side; that’s where the noise came in, as I stand to the right of the band. Sometimes I hear ‘T’ in my left ear, but sometimes in my head. I still play traditional jazz trombone, but use an ear...

...can happen easier under these conditions if mouth is open and pressure to the jaw is happening. A dental procedure, falling down, head trauma or whiplash. Or clenching teeth with lifting and being off balance. Some hearing loss will take place 50%-70% of the time depending on issues...

My saffron arrived from India Tinnitus: Acoustic trauma (2 years 3 months) Day 2: It is my second day and I notice that my tinnitus is not centered in my head as usual. Just a little to the left which is unusual. The noise level a little lower than usual. Slightly noticeable but it catches...

Hi @Taylorslay The symptoms you are experiencing are associated with noise trauma and in time they will fade. Remember, many people that have noise trauma have not made the improvement you have in such a short period of time. Just take it easy and carry on taking each day as it comes. Try not...

Hi... I can still hear some stuff of the outside world, so it’s not just my head noise... a week in and this hasn’t been getting better... I’m just not sure which way to go. Last night scared me, I’ve never heard my tinnitus that loud, to the point I almost couldn’t drive. I think I will try...

@Pwndex I think that very soft touch finger movement on the neck may be fine, but I haven't figure out from reading if it's ready advisable for TMD. There's several debated subjective causes for TMD. Then there's actual causes that includes dental trauma and having mouth extended in an open...

...but you didn't say whether you had these tests done. I assume you had them done as they're routine. Tinnitus could also arise from head trauma, and I'm not sure whether that's due to the impact damaging the cochlea or the nerve, or trauma to the brain itself where tinnitus is said to...

Most of the symptoms have disappeared in 12 months after starting medication, incl. dysacusis. I had no previous ear problems; it all started with the accident. I believe the accident is not connected to any Eustachian tube issue (I have had many ear tests), but rather to the nervous system. I...
