@Bill Bauer Try not to worry over this. Your auditory system has suffered a noise trauma and it will take time to recover, trust me. I went through a similar thing and much more. For many months my head was completely numb and everything sounded like my head was under water. Very frightening as...

Hi Sen: Some have somatosensory tinnitus which isn't always about their ears. Somatosensory T is often from head or neck trauma, manipulation of the teeth, jaw or cervical spine. Often they pain in their head, neck, face or shoulders and may have bruxism. This type of tinnitus sometimes can...

Neurons don't die like that, usually they can die from an oxygen deprivation in the case of a stroke, a head trauma or aging so I wouldn’t worry about this. And I agree with @Contrast in regards to the hidden hearing loss which is also the case for me, I would then have to wait for the drug to...

So it's been 17 days since my first injection. At this point in time I can still hear the high pitched whistle in my right ear. However, now there seems to be a very loud low pitched hum constantly which seems to come from my head rather than my right ear, which was affected by the acoustic...

I think this is me too

...biased. There are many etiologies to tinnitus and the co-morbidities, and they can be combined to muddy it further up. Your profile says "head trauma," which is very different from noise-induced tinnitus, especially when combined with benzo withdrawal. I'd prefer that further personal...

If the head pain is very bad I take paracetamol, which I believe is the safest pain killer if we have Tinnitus. But @Greg Sacramento is an expert on pain meds.

I only say this because I cant think of anything else that could have caused it. I diddnt go anywhere loud or change my diet or have any head trauma. I did read somewhere that codeine was ototoxic, but I dont remember where I read it

Maybe because people start clenching / grinding their teeth because of stress which is caused by T.

...individuals and not others, the one ways tinnitus might consistently fade if there was a way to restore lost hearing or some experimental epilepsy drugs. All that I mentioned is clinical and pre-clinical research about a decade away. Alternative causes are TMD, cervical problems and head trauma.

I know where you're coming from. I've just come off two days of misery and it's semi reasonable today. I know during the night tonight it's going to ramp up for another 2 days of torture. And the cycle goes on and on.

@bolive, Your tinnitus from the noise trauma will be your base sound. Tinnitus can change sound and add sounds and change strength for a reason and for no reason and have it in one or both ears or head. Stress and anxiety feed tinnitus and tinnitus feeds stress so it is important to learn to...

Could those neck/muscle problem cause 24/7 tinnitus? Otherwise I'm still convinced it's acoustic trauma (I realize I put "noise-induced" in my original thread title, which I believe is incorrect). I'm just still wrapping my head around 1) the fact that headphones and/or car speakers could have...

Since Ketamine is an NMDA antagonist, is there a possibility it could provide some level of protection against acoustic trauma or ototoxicity?

Interesting. My H started/escalated not long after I had hit my head really hard in a shelf. I don't think I had a concussion but it was a hard blow.

@Robster, yes but it's a gradual thing, and needs to be assisted with lifestyle changes to help the nerve heal. If you're thinking about fasting, I'd join a group on Facebook because it does carry a few risks - well worth it IMO. I'm part of "Fasting and Autophagy". I see your cause of...

In plain English or non biological terms: Your joints are normal size and shape. TMJs are smooth and rounded without defects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUT: Your mandibular plane and vault is a little deep and narrow. This is...

My noise changed to my head so an injection probably wouldn't work. This person talks about diet and certain things to take that are anti-inflammatory. https://drjockers.com/tinnitus/

What do you mean by saying I don't have physical tinnitus? I have head and ear tinnitus, and my head tinnitus is somatic. It doesn't change with jaw movements, but if I press on my zygomatic process it zings. I've always wondered why that is. That's an interesting comment. Maybe the...

@Major Tinnitus There are many thing that can cause tinnitus such as billie48 pointed listed. The problems could be head trauma, but I would consider x-rays of neck and spine. Muscle spasm form anyplace can cause your problems. Numbness in hands, wrists and arms are often related to your spine...

That's exactly me .... Just.some slight hearing loss at 4k MHz and I don't believe my T its from hearing loss ....hope you are doing better ...

I do not think it had to do with any pure tone audiometry hearing loss. My hearing is normal in the standard range. I have UHF loss, but had it before surgery. I didn’t lose any hearing from the surgery, as my before and after audiometry were almost identical.

I have the reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis. My tinnitus has started due to the head and neck trauma. It's so reactive to the point that even the softest pink noise spikes my tinnitus. I have tried to listen to the pink noise for my hyperacusis. But after 30 minutes of pink noise, I feel...

Nevermind: I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. My T has really spiked today. All I know is that I was rear-ended by another driver, and right after impact, I started hearing this static in my head. I'm confident that it is related to my head or neck. Other than that -- I don't know what...

Thank you for sharing your story. I suffered acoustic trauma from an MRI that reached 130 dB, even with my earplugs in. I’ve noticed all the same symptoms you have. However, my hyperacusis seems to be even more severe—restaurants with clattering dishes are unbearable for me. Two months in, I’m...

...TRT can help in some case for some situations... "BUT hyperacusis is a symptom from a disease (like tinnitus)...it could be from noise injury, SCDC, fistulas, autism, head trauma, TMJD, etc etc...it's a non sense to believe sound therapy can cure fistulas...it's like believing in Santa Claus"

Do you feel that the reason medications have such a heavy hand in your hyperacusis is because the origins of your disorder is from chemo and not acoustic trauma? Just a thought, the amitriptyline just screwed you over too. I'm just saying it's possible you could be very sensitive to meds - not...

Just if anyone is reading or following this - I got it checked out at the hospital today. My right ear had become inflamed due to the trauma of microsuction. They said it can happen sometimes and should settle within a couple days - got an anti-inflammatory ear spray and took a couple of...

...from low b12 symptoms, also get your thyroid levels checked too, low b12 and low or too high thyroid can cause Tinnitus, if you've have a head trauma you should also go to a NUCCA chiropractor to see if you have any upper cervical problems, as Tinnitus can also be caused by problems in the neck.

Hi, I have had tinnitus in my left ear for 10 years. I habituated after some time and the tinnitus didn't bother me much after that. Almost two months ago I had an impact sound trauma at work that resulted in a new very high-pitched sound after about 3 or 4 days witch persists today. I am...

...No effect. @Samantha R - tinnitus of unknown origin, got treatment at Unique Access in Thailand, no effect (source). @friend - head trauma induced tinnitus. No effect. @whiskeykonteq - noise trauma induced tinnitus. I was able to contact him outside of Tinnitus Talk. His tinnitus is not...

Hi David, welcome my friend. When this awful noise started in my head I too had the horrific hyperacusis but after about 3 months the hyperacusis went away completely and now I only deal with the noise. Please keep your head up and be positive because there is a good possibility that the...

...at night and my T was loud. However when I woke up this morning T is down and back to original level again. Even though my T is due to head Trauma, loud noise does cause temporary spikes so I avoid bars, clubs.. except few times a year. I took 2 NAC pills this morning and will take them...

The real fix is an ENT taking you seriously and either surgery or a blood patch... because that shit is fixable.

u must of had another reason - meds, stress, noise exposure, ear syringing, barotrauma,whiplash, head trauma, tmj, reading about T, chemical exposure, mercury fillings, high blood pressure, alcoholism, excessive masturbation, panic/gad disorder, thyroid dysfunction, kidney problems, AIDS...

...There are stone deaf people with ZERO T, and people with little loss with bad T. It depends on the circumstances of how the T started - stress, meds, noise, head trauma, etc. My T is so loud I can hear it clearly 24/7 It is so horrible that you might get a panick attack if I describe it to you.

Hear hear! (pun intended) I find this sad as well, since my T started during a long headphone listening session with my new audiophile grade headphones and 'head-fi'er' hobby. I can't be 100% sure if that triggered my T, because I also got a blocked + full ear at the same moment, which is not a...

It wuld be dilation of blood vessels which involves a change in blood vessel diameter. This is most always rapidly followed by a return to normal - 10 seconds or less. Turning or tilting head in a certain angle and pressing finger against one specific artery on side of neck, pulsatile tinnitus...

Ok, I'm not very smart, so I need to state that first. If you have access to a decent ENT, do it. 2nd, your tinnitus may be related to your TMJ, it's physiological and can be treated with massage and other therapies, it's different than noise trauma, which I have. 3rd, a bunch of...

I have a noisy job. I work at a ship yard with lots of loud bangs and noisy work. I have tinnitus and some hyperacusis due to noise trauma. Because of this I always wear both helmet mounted earmuffs and and earplugs to be safe. This works well and the earplugs alone have been tested to attenuate...

I should check into this, as I know everything around my head and neck is tight.

Melatonin for sleeping? Also, keep in mind: As my ENT says "Prognosen är god". One month after my latest noise trauma I could not do anything. I could not use the water faucet unless I had double protection, I could not be in by home since if my neighbour opened her warddrobe or something I...

Hello All, I am posting this as at the moment I am feeling totally desperate and to make it worse I have no one to blame but myself. I have had tinnitus for a very long time since my early 20s from going to pubs / clubs (am now 42). About 7 years ago was the first time I got tinnitus which was...

Often without noise exposure, a sudden neck injury is cause of hearing loss/tinnitus and more so if neck problems already exist. Cervical muscle spasms from lifting or turning neck often to the left can cause C spine straightening, upper ligament damage, atlas imbalance, suboccipital nerve and...

Hello everybody, I have had tinnitus since 2018. It was caused by acoustic trauma, as my ENT indicated back then. I have high-frequency hearing loss. I used to work in aviation for several years and had to be around operating helicopters, but I made sure I regularly wore ear protection...

Sure, according to the experts, when a metal shower head falls in the bathtub, the level of noise is so extreme that your eardrums can blow out immediately, and all the people in the whole neighbourhood risk an acoustic trauma. This is actually the second most common accident leading to hearing...

Hey my lovely! Yes, I've experienced very loud events which spiked my tinnitus. However, my tinnitus came down to it's original volume/sounds after a few days of the sound trauma. One time was the car stereo being left up on full volume by my partner using the car before me. I turned the car...

I think it's from both acoustic trauma and medications. I was in music for many of years, and blasted music in my ears throughout having chemo too, using headphones. My plan is to taper the medications I am on now, and go onto Cannabis for pain. Hopefully the tapering will make a difference. I...

...is listed in many professional articles. A bend forward neck from improper posture lifting, bending, dental procedure, accident with head trauma, muscle spasms and being under stress are all reasons for getting somatic tinnitus. Next on the somatic list is the jaw and problems in the mouth...

I had it mild since a child. Got bad I believe through noise exposure at work over the years. Sudden worsening in late thirties. But I do also have tmj and some facial nerve pain at times which could contribute to it.

@Mila9828 We treated hundreds over the years with labyrinthine concussion which is a condition which occurs following trauma to the head and/or inner ear. It can also be present without a well-defined radiological injury and is characterized by inner ear symptoms such as tinnitus, dizziness, and...

@InDespair Agree. Posture and forward head bending can lead to many conditions and diseases where multiple physical reactions happen and any trauma with that can cause tinnitus. Your mention of scapular is discussed in this link. There are also other articles by the authors that are worth...

Yes it will go down, when I got my second acoustic trauma while doing that ovemp test. My T went from a 2 to a 10, literally I had a huge engine sound in my head and I felt like my head will burst open. That reduced from 10 to a 7/8 where I am currently, so give it time. You also have a second...

When I asked my ENT for a prognosis for my T (due to acoustic trauma), he said that the outcome of a concussion is impossible to forecast. He went on to explain that both conditions have to do with brain neurons, so recovery from T is also difficult to forecast. The reason I am bringing this...

Just a follow up question. Did you have an acoustic trauma or took any ototoxic medications shortly before these tests? Or has it been like this for a while?

Fluctuation is a good sign, especially if it fully disappears sometimes. I'd say your chances are pretty good. This part intrigues me, as this was the first discovery I had with my T (3.300 Hz). My T originates from the neck muscles though, and is not sound induced. Did you recently experience...

Hi Blane, Any exposure to loud sounds? Have you had any trauma recently to the head, face, or neck? TMJ? Have you been on an airplane recently? Any recent dental work? Have you been sick recently? If you go to the ENT, he/she will check your ears for wax build-up and you can also ask them...
