I'm writing here in the hope that I can find some answers and hopefully some support/shared experiences of what appears to be a rare and strange hearing condition. It started 2 months ago at a festival when I experienced an acoustic trauma. I already had tinnitus (caused by an acoustic trauma 4...

Hello people, Please let's make an excuse for my bad English in the first place. Im from The Netherlands, looking for support. 24 years old. 26-9-2017 i've got my tinnitus. I can't relate it to an loud noise or something. Maybe from working, but it didn't start immediately after it. At first i...

Dear all, first of all, I will tell my story "in short": I got tinnitus from a loud concert 3 months ago. The tinnitus I got from that was a 24/7 constant, very high pitched ringing in the middle of my head. I was traumatised and depressed first but somehow, I habituated very quick within 2...

A brief update: The feeling in my hearing, including the dynamics, seems to be gradually stabilizing. The tinnitus is less noticeable as a tension and more like a high-pitched ringing, which now sounds more like a hissing noise. The pressure and constant tension have largely subsided, but...

Hi! I've had tinnitus for 6 months now. Hearing test detected permanent hearing loss in both ears at certain frequencies above 3,000 Hz. In my right ear, I get a whooshing sound resembling what I can only deduce as an ear pressure issue. It occurs when outdoors during windy conditions. It also...

Hey everyone, I've had tinnitus for about eight years due to an acoustic trauma. Along with that, I've experienced intermittent dizziness, headaches, and eye pain. For the past year or so, these symptoms have become a daily occurrence and don't seem to be improving. Has anyone else experienced...

I may have caused this myself. Last August, I experienced firearm acoustic trauma, resulting in mild hearing loss at 500–1000 Hz. To check if my right ear had improved, I played 750 Hz tone videos on YouTube at low volumes using my phone. I did this about eight times over a week. Since then, I...

Hi everyone. I've frequently lurked Tinnitus Talk since I've developed tinnitus about four months ago hoping to find a good success story from someone with the same symptoms that I do. Unfortunately, it seems that my type of tinnitus is rare and information about it is very restricted for both...

Sertraline caused my intermittent tinnitus. I did not have it before I took Sertraline. Medications can definitely cause tinnitus and other ear issues. Just because a medication hasn't caused or increased your tinnitus, it doesn't mean everyone will be as lucky.

Previously had intermittent tinnitus prior to concussion, now constant, bilateral.

I wish I could go back in time and skip that appointment for a hearing check. I’m still trying to accept what happened and move on, but it’s not easy. It’s been two years, and the thought of it still gives me shudders.

Hello, I have the same type of Tinnitus; Sleep Intermittent Tinnitus for the past 4 months with 1 or 2 rarely 3 no tinnitus days a week. A no tinnitus day always gets followed by a loud tinnitus day that gets milder over the next 2 to 3 days down to a no tinnitus day. It gets triggered during...

Hello Everyone, I have been reading a few of the threads regarding all of the things in the thread title lately and thought I would post my recent experience putting them all together. I usually smoke cannabis every day and usually find it easy to obtain, however, I've been travelling for...

Hi - I am wondering if I have a tinnitus, or an inner ear muscle spasm problem. I have a damaged left ear (inner bone dislodged) ,that has had a constant high frequency tone for decades. About 5 years ago, I started having an intermittent, low frequency vibrating noise, in that ear. It...

I had intermittent tinnitus from 2018 till almost 14 months ago when it became very loud, high-pitched and constant.

Sorry to hear about your struggles. You should see a specialist as soon as possible. You mentioned that it all started after a head injury. I assume you’ve had an MRI of your head and possibly your neck? What other symptoms have you experienced since then?

...aging. The subjects were divided into 3 groups: control (no tinnitus), those who experienced at least one episode of temporary/intermittent tinnitus less than 6 months duration, and those who reported a continuous percept of tinnitus for more than 6 months. The 3 tests used it the study were...

Hi, New to T. Had it for about 3 weeks post loud concert. No hearing loss. Had a good day. Did not notice it all today. Even in quiet environments. Thought it might be going away as two ENTs told me they thought it was likely temporary. Now, sitting here watching TV, I just noticed it. Can...

Well, I'm pretty quiet to begin with -- no loud music, etc... I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to protect my ears, but I haven't done anything unusually loud, either. Sigh. Just sad. I was hoping I'd be one of the people whose intermittent tinnitus stayed that way for years.

That is awful. I’m so sorry that happened to you. If I had read some of these stories about hearing tests making tinnitus worse, I don’t think I ever would have gone through with one. The same goes for ear irrigation. Now I find myself wondering if I delayed my own healing by having both of...

Hello everyone, This thread is for those who have completed, are currently participating in, or are considering the NeuroMed Tinnitus Program. The NeuroMed Tinnitus Program is based on Dr. Hamid Djalilian’s research, which involves using specific migraine medications along with a combination...

After this kind of trauma, can the tinnitus be worse for weeks before returning back to baseline?

Hello everyone, My name's Oscar and I live in Spain. I'm 31 years old and I, like most people, was unaware of the existence of this demonic condition up until two months after contracting COVID-19. This beast showed its face without any previous warning and now I'm stuck with a constant high...

I get floaters occasionally, it's definitely a physiological thing and usually intermittent. Mine are just now and then and not always that noticeable. At first it was a little scary because I depend on my eyes in art and photography work. But as long as something weird goes away (unlike my...

You're moving in the right direction, and I recognize parts of what you describe. I hope you're rid of the spike within a few weeks.

Update: I have a date for my ENT appointment, but it won’t be until February 19. I couldn’t get any sleep last night, so I decided to switch up my cardio on the treadmill today. Instead of a long walk, I gradually increased my speed to jogging to tire myself out more for tonight. When I...

Mine is a very similar case. It comes on almost exclusively during sleep, and then almost always, whatever I have stays for the day. The pattern is every other day, though lately I sometimes get two bad days in a row or even two good days in a row. When it’s a good day, it’s either barely there...

The model definitely outlines a description for intermittent tinnitus. Up until now though I've only really considered activation of the upstream filter in the binary sense, i.e. on or off. If the filter behaved in a more analogue way, like a fader, then this could account for quiet days/loud...

I recently sustained a blow to my left cheekbone while on a train in NYC. I was with a friend, and as the train lurched erratically, we both reached for our cases to prevent them from flying. In the process, she accidentally struck me with her elbow. The impact was so hard that I felt woozy and...

Hello everyone. I have a surgery next week for a coccyx (tailbone) cyst removal through laser. My doctor told me the procedure runs an hour and the laser will be used from the 20th minute onward intermittently, for 5-6 seconds at a time with a 15-20 second break in between, possibly with even...

...inadequate blinding in previous studies. He also mentioned that Dr. Djalilian's protocol could potentially be beneficial for intermittent tinnitus, which was at least a refreshing moment of honesty. Regarding hyperacusis, he occasionally prescribes Clomipramine, with some success...

...pandemic. My doctor prescribed me 10 mg of Escitalopram but didn't explain much about the medication. I developed mild, intermittent tinnitus in my right ear a few days after starting it. I thought it was due to anxiety and continued taking the medication for two years. Eventually, the...

Hi Spencer, I can really relate to a lot of your story. I too got my tinnitus actually the day after my second Covid vax and it is intermittent as well. However, mine is like 3 days on and 3 days off. I have found some relief from Gabapantin. Anyways, wanted to say hi and that our stories are...

So it seems it doesn’t work if you have intermittent tinnitus. That’s what I have in my right ear. Two different tones (1560 Hz and 955 Hz). I don’t even know the cause of those tones.

Hello everyone! I've had tinnitus since spring last year. I'm not sure what caused it, the only thing that comes to mind is the flu I had shortly before, because my ears and nose were really stuffed for several days. I've been to different ENTs several times since then, and my hearing and my...

I have been slowly withdrawing from benzodiazepines. I'm not sure if I am doing it right but sometimes I will go a day without taking them. I was originally on .5 mg but now average around .25 mg or less. The Klonopin used to lower my tinnitus but stopped doing that years ago and I think it...

I am worried that my condition is getting worse. I suffered an acoustic shock four months ago and have been experiencing a constant, strange sensation in my ear—sometimes a wet, cold feeling, along with intermittent aching in my jaw and ear. I also have loudness hyperacusis and distorted voices...

Hi Everyone: My tinnitus comes and goes. Interestingly, it is sleep that both turns it on and turns it off. That is, if I have a long, deep sleep, I may wake up noise free (and stay that way all day). However, after a noise-free day, I will likely wake up to tinnitus the following morning and...

But it was for trial eligibility. Obviously you can try the device for intermittent tinnitus when it's out in the market...

I first experienced this about a month after developing tinnitus in my right ear. At the time, it was mostly intermittent, occurring after car rides, loud events, or at night. It felt like an 80 kHz drone moving back and forth in my head, eventually fading out like the idle of a distant car...

Hi! I am very happy to have stumbled upon this group as when I speak to my friends and colleagues at work (all doctors), people look at me like I'm nuts and say that they too hear a heart beat if they exert themselves or lie on their ear a certain way. I get frustrated trying to explain that it...

...and worsening with loud, high-pitched, or nearby noises. I also have some hearing loss. It keeps me awake. Before this, I had intermittent tinnitus—sometimes sharply painful, but always very brief. Then, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and a surge in professional anxiety, things...

...willing to chime in here about the peculiar intermittent pattern I've been experiencing (I wrote about it above). You mentioned intermittent tinnitus briefly in your posts, and, given your broad experience, I was hoping you could speak about the types of intermittent experiences you've heard...

I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember (around elementary school). It's a constant high pitch that I hear in both ears. Just last weekend, I started hearing a louder higher pitch sound ONLY in my right ear, probably 2 octaves higher than my current tinnitus. This new one however is not...

I do know what you mean @JimmyR. My tinnitus is also intermittent. I don't know exactly what my loud days get up to, but I would say a 6. My quiet days are 0 though. I've noticed my tinnitus is cyclical. Is yours cyclical too?

April Update (Slightly Late): My use of sound therapy this month was inconsistent because I went paintballing early in the month, and someone fired their gun too close to my right ear. I did not notice any effects on the day itself, but starting the next day and continuing for a few weeks, I...

My right ear fluctuates constantly. I don't have the same volume or tone for more than a week or two.

Where has that been stated?

This sounds like vestibular/ocular migraine. I have had the same issue since an acoustic trauma in February 2023, as well as floaters and light sensitivity in my vision. Nortriptyline and Gabapentin are helping, as well as magnesium, riboflavin, CoQ10, and vitamin D.

I've had a high-pitched ringing in my head since childhood. I suspect it started after a series of severe ear infections. It's worst in quiet rooms and when trying to sleep, but I've had bigger fish to fry and haven't dedicated much time to resolving it. For the last 3 days, after a month of...

Just curious if anyone else has this. Now on month 4, and still no signs of stopping. Back in September, I developed a new noise in my right ear; a lower pitched almost beeping like sound that runs 24/7 and is the first "intrusive" noise I've developed since coming down with a bilateral...

I'm sorry to hear about this setback since your previous post. I feel like I'm in one also with multiple issues, over 2 years since my tinnitus worsened. Tinnitus has only gotten worse; anxiety is as high as ever. Maybe the Clomipramine you mentioned would make it easier to deal with, along...

Hello all. I'm Kevin, and I've had tinnitus since late March 2018. It has been an emotional rollercoaster ride. I think my tinnitus was caused by a variety of things. I have TMJ on the right side of my jaw this is also my tinnitus ear. My tinnitus increases when I am chewing or when I yawn or...

Hi @MaxT, First, wishing you best health and no tinnitus asap! 🙏 I hear you, when tinnitus changes like this, it's beyond frustrating, especially when you've already got enough to deal with. I've been through similar struggles, and while there's no instant fix, there are things that can help...

Hi everyone, I've had low-frequency unilateral tinnitus in my right ear for five years, and I believe I'm narrowing down the possible culprit to two main possibilities: either vascular or cardiovascular in origin, or somatic. I hope this post helps me get closer to solving my tinnitus and that...
