When I think back, I used to get this intermittent ringing in my ear but thought not too much of it as it would only be for a few minutes and would then disappear. This was obviously a warning sign and I basically ignored it, because it never really bothered me. T doesn’t become a problem until...

...If you like, we can share notes on how our tinnitus behaves to see if we can learn more. There are others on the forum with intermittent tinnitus, but I've found that the more common situation for people here is a constant noise-induced or medicine-induced tinnitus. By the way, nice use...

I used to have 3 tones a high tone, medium oscillating tone, and a intermittent low tone. Since increasing my Prednisone, the tone has become more high pitched. I don't hear any low tones anymore. It is also becoming reactive. What does this mean? I don't know what to do.

I suffer from this low frequency tinnitus sh*t but I was able to suppress it for 3 consecutive days after flying for about 7 hours. I always have my ceiling fan on since the low frequency tinnitus disappears as soon as I turn it on. Sadly, however, my reactive tinnitus flares up instantly with...

I got morse code type tinnitus 6 months ago and still have some problems to adjust... Is it possible to adjust to it with time? Like habituation? Because it's not my regular hissing that is constant, it's intermittent and so far really hard to ignore it. Is there people around who have get used...

I have been experiencing intermittent, unilateral Tinnitus for 4-6 weeks and visited my PCP, yesterday. He decided to do Complete Blood Chemistry and ordered an MRI. I thought this was a little aggressive on the diagnosis side and I thought he would refer me to an ENT. He said if the blood...

Hello! Do you also have this problem (morse code tinnitus)?

I forgot about this thread. Shame the OP seems to have vanished as I wanted to ask what were his symptoms. I started intermittent fasting 2 or 3 weeks ago - 20 hours per day fast. The brownish iodine like colour in my semen is now very faint and looks like it is clearing. I would have to...

Also I’m curious, are there any agreed upon telltale signs that ears / tinnitus is improving or healing? I’ve heard noises getting softer, more intermittent, silent days, things like that. But does anyone know why sometimes when people heal it goes from ringing to buzzing and then to tv static...

Feels bad. Yeah, I have 10+ sounds, including clicking in both ears (could be TTTS maybe?), 4 tones of Morse code in one ear that get worse if I lie down on the other ear (and I can provoke them by doing Valsalva or yawning - maybe middle ear damage?), 16-18 kHz wavering sound in both ears, 12...

Isn’t Dr. Shore’s study closed for new patients now? I got a reply from a local ENT... “Thank you for contacting re the OTO-313 study. Can you tell me something about your tinnitus. Start date, severity, one-sided or bilateral, any associated hearing loss, intermittent or constant, etc.”

I don't know if it will go away for you completely, but I can swap notes with you. I have intermittent unilateral non-reactive tinnitus and bilateral reactive tinnitus. The reactive component manifested about a month after my non-reactive component onset. Both components are daily...

Hello, I just wanted to share how I got much much better from my noise induced tinnitus. The one thing that has helped me a lot is fasting. It turns out that many great things happen to your body when you fast. I recommend you watch the following video about the effects of fasting and give it a...

I received two lower dental implants and now I have intermittent tinnitus in my right ear. It's worse in the morning and nighttime. If I clench my lower jaw, I can block out the tinnitus and replace it with the high-pitched tinnitus I had every few days my entire life prior to this full-blown...

Not exactly sure where to post this but it seems that whenever I "pop" my ears by opening my mouth/moving my jaw around my tinnitus disappears for a good couple of seconds. I can also bring it back by doing the same thing, if I am not currently experiencing it. My T sounds like a high pitched...

There's no such thing as normal tinnitus. Some have high pitched, some low pitched, some loud, some quiet; some constant, some reactive, some intermittent, some hissing, some screeching and some people's come and go, some peoples changes every five minutes. My point is. Everyone's is different...

Some people report Sertraline causing tinnitus. I had hoped Sertraline would help me. I could only stand to take it for a week as I experienced stomach aches from the first dose that continued, along with an additional intermittent chirping ring in my left ear days after starting. I immediately...

i feel your pain. it was already fairly bad in my mid 30's - i had occasional rare tinnitus in my 20's which gradually changed from intermittent to constant - had to drop out of symphony orchestra violinist which was really devastating -

@Ozwel has inspired me to declare war on tinnitus. I've decided to start Etanercept on prescription in a month or so. I will combine this with an anti-inflammatory gluten free, organic vegan diet + natural TNF inhibitors (curcumin, spirulina, etc.) + intermittent fasting. Will get in touch with...

I don't really understand this phenomenon. If it's possible to have silence intermittently, why can't the brain filter tinnitus out permanently? I had one of my sounds silent for about an hour this morning, but it's back.

Hi @Luman I have intermittent tinnitus but call it another name: fluctuating tinnitus. My tinnitus can be: completely silent like today. Mild, moderate or severe. It no longer reaches extremely severe levels that would last for many days then slowly subside. When my tinnitus is severe I...

...pathology in the brain? I think I read many times that hissing is created in a different way than a pure tone tinnitus or intermittent tinnitus. There shall be different brain mechanism for all these. So how Neuromod can claim that the quality / type of the tinnitus sound itself doesn’t...

Judging by my experience the chances of tinnitus actually going and staying away 100% after being there for more than a year is virtually zero.

Hello Everyone! My name is Kriszti, I'm 31 and I'm from Eastern Europe. Here is my tinnitus (?) story an I have some questions at the end. In 2016, my left ear rang for 2 weeks, went to audiology, ended up with an Eustach tube problem, but the ringing stopped. At the beginning of 2017, it made...

Hi Glynis To be honest I don't hear it at all when I exercise, which confuses me. So it's not there when I'm standing, sitting or exercising. I am very confused which is what greats most of my anxiety. Can Pulsatile Tinnitus be intermittent ? Ryan

Well, I guess the members of this board have nothing to worry about then.

I think it was around 1985 when I first started having intermittent tinnitus and it was around 2000 when it became persistent (24/7). It has ebbs and flows where it is more intense, but never goes away. It is exacerbated by arthritis in that every NSAID seems to make it worse. I have had...

No, it's actually on the louder side today. I was doing really good starting 3 weeks ago until about yesterday. Case said 30 days so I'm going to try and stick it out.

There is hearing loss without tinnitus. Fact. That leads me to believe we can be healed without growing hair cells.

What do you guys think about this being good for middle ear myoclonus issues? I have involuntarily rumbling of middle ear muscles from sounds, some internal sound autophony (not SCDS), TMJ nerve pain, single-sided facial nerve twitches around my ear and temple, and ear fullness. It's as if the...

Well I don't have tinnitus anymore but I'm still aggravated by intermittent ear pain and pain across my cheek, which leads me to wonder whether my initial incident caused something like TMJ syndrome. Is it possible for a loud gong noise to do that? Does TMJ resolve eventually?

...really frustrating. I also did a high impact Zumba Strong class which made the tinnitus much worse for several days. I’m going to stick to fast walking and Latin dance class. I have endolymphatic hydrops tinnitus which means I have intermittent tinnitus and I cope ok with a white noise...

Yeah but what is it? Is it when it gets twice as loud? When you can hear it over masking? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm asking because I have some intermittent symptoms. Do I have mild tinnitus and these are spikes? Or do I just have days with tinnitus and days without?

Hello. I have intermittent tinnitus in my left ear of 9 month's standing, following an accident. I hear fine - then static/vibration and pain. I am being treated for possible Middle Ear Myoclonus. Does anyone else have pain with their sound? what are you being treated for? With thanks.

Hi all. Before I go into the details of my changing T, I want to give a brief background of myself for those who have not read my other posts. I developed bilateral T towards the end of April. I was diagnosed with mild bilateral high frequency hearing loss. It eventually settled to a multi-tone...

...and as she ages her hearing worsens: she has mild tinnitus. My father has some hearing problems too: mild to moderate but intermittent tinnitus. Some people have good hearing profiles, their tinnitus is not noise induced but it's loud. It's bugging me, I'm trying to figure out what may...

...8/10 it has more to do with the intensity or volume. I hear my tinnitus all day non-stop 24/7 but that means it’s constant, not intermittent tinnitus. I can hear it at work right now when I’m busy or preoccupied and it’s like a 4/10 but when I get home and I’m in a more quiet environment or...

I think the Morse code sound you are hearing over other noises is dysacusis. I have just developed this as well. I am four months into tinnitus caused by fluid in my ears. My regular tinnitus has subsided by about 99 percent, but over the last three weeks I have developed dysacusis. I now get a...

I'm surprised you're on Tinnitus Talk then. Did you have it worse before?

Hi, Morgan, I also have intermittent tinnitus that chirps like crickets, (and lately more like Morse code - I like that description). The louder the tinnitus the higher the pitch. Mine disappeared for 10 months, but both onsets were associated with an intense season at work. I'm still dealing...

I did keto and intermittent fasting for months when I first got tinnitus (not for tinnitus but because I couldn’t lift weights or run). No effect now that I’m back to exercise and eating carbohydrates.

Do you think there's a chance that once I'm fully off of the Prednisone that my tinnitus might calm down and become bearable? This is my only hope right now.

Please help. I’ve had tinnitus for 26 years and I was habituated. However, I had a total hysterectomy and 4 weeks post op my tinnitus spiked in my right ear. The spike has lasted for a month now. So I went to TJ Maxx today and an intermittent alarm went off while in the store. I had my...

Well after 4 months of been almost tinnitus free, it's back, with a vengeance. I really had forgot how wholly consuming it is & how unless you've suffered it, no one truly understands. I'm reluctant to socialise, and I am withdrawing, and I'm doing all of this knowing it's not what to do! My...

No, I don't need to. My tinnitus is very very mild and intermittent and my hyperacusis only comes and goes. The hardest part about my tinnitus is focusing at work when it flares up, and the emotional hit from losing my ability to play electric guitar and drums.

May I ask how loud? Mine is barely perceptible but just loud enough to get me particularly in bed. I am a side sleeper. Haven't identified it getting better or worse based on the side I sleep but I am still investigating.

@Julian87: Of course my French brother, there are all kinds of tinnitus. Intermittent t is one of them. These numbers are estimates at best. Mine went away after a week, only to return. I’ve had static or ringing ever since. Some t goes away for some people completely, with no explanation.

6 weeks to the day with tinnitus. Am still having intermittent pain in ears and feel the need to constantly pop them - which always helps. I’m supposed to fly for 6 hours on Weds and then 6 hours back on Monday and don’t know if I can do it. Any advice?

An update on my intermittent fasting experiment. Frankly it has had no impact on my tinnitus but I have made some progress with some other issues I have connected to inflammation. I have some swollen lymph nodes in my neck which have reduced in size by 50% - I also have another issue which I...

It could be any kind of sound at all - constant or fluctuating or intermittent. There is no one type of T specifically suggesting TMJ relation.

I did a hearing test with an app and spoke to a tinnitus consultant. They said I had mild hearing loss but didn't think it was significant enough to cause the tinnitus. I've always figured that the intermittent nature of it meant that it wasn't hearing loss either. I can have days of complete...

Liam is the worst type of scammer the one who uses people suffering and desperation for its own profit and selfishness. People are literally committing suicide over severe tinnitus and this clown is preaching that dry fasting,intermittent fasting or keto can fix it that is just so scientifically...

My name is Laurie and I have had tinnitus for several years, starting around 2010 or 2011. At first it was intermittent, but starting early this year it has become a constant hissing in both ears. I also have multiple sclerosis since 1981, and I am wondering if there is a connection between MS...

Hmm I realize you might be talking to the OP but how do I get the doctors to check me out for this? Well I am getting an MRI so hopefully something shows. This could be my issue too although my very reactive tinnitus came a few days after a cold a year ago. I get these almost fleeting...

Hello, update on my tinnitus. Since 4/16 I still have severe intrusive tinnitus. It's 17 months now and back in 5/17 I was diagnosed with Ménière's disease. That would explain my fluctuating hearing loss. The illness has really disrupted my life, I am vert slowly adapting to the constant noise...

Hello all, Just signed up today and thought I would introduce myself. I'm 49 and I can remember intermittent tinnitus 5 years ago where it would come on for a couple minutes and then go away. At the time I thought it was some type of radio frequency which I could hear. In 2018 it was very...

For the past month, I’ve been doing the Keto WOE along with intermittent fasting - 18/6. I’ve lost some weight, have less joint pain, more energy and feel better in general, but the Tinnitus is as loud and obnoxious as ever. I’m staying on it, but have no expectations that the T will improve.
