Hi! You can call me Max. That is my online moniker of sorts. I am not sure when it first started. Probably around ten years ago. It used to be intermittent, always on my right side. I would get it for a few days at a time, then it would go away for months before coming back again. Then about...

I’ve been struggling with non-restorative sleep for nine months. I was getting better, but six weeks ago I developed tinnitus. I wasn’t doing anything in particular, just working on my computer when I suddenly noticed a buzzing in my head. When it didn’t go away after 30 minutes or so, I started...

Hi all -- I've posted on here before a few times, but I've never really introduced myself. I developed tinnitus suddenly last fall, five days after my COVID-19 vax. I can't be sure that's what caused it, but it's my best guess. No obvious hearing loss, just tinnitus in both ears, left much worse...

Hey all, In addition to my chronic head hissing, I've developed intermittent fullness, blockage, or muffled hearing on my left side. It's accompanied by a metallic-sounding echo when I speak, especially with frequencies near my hearing loss range. Could this be autophony? I've also noticed...

Ah, mine weren’t loud—just intermittent sounds. But I’m certain they gave me this new electrical generator tinnitus. I’ll never be able to go back in time and undo this, and they’ll never admit that they’ve ruined my life.

I have only recently realized that my type of tinnitus actually has a name, intermittent tinnitus which, as the term implies, is not constant. Most days, I have symptoms to some degree, which vary in volume from mild to upper medium, but I do get days where there's no symptoms, although I still...

Hi all. This is my first post in this board. I've had intermittent PT I think from about early 2015. It doesn't really bother me that much (unlike my other tinnitus that I've had since mid-2016). I can go for days and weeks without noticing it and will only notice it generally when I'm in a...

Does anyone else have an intermittent banging form of tinnitus? I have experienced ringing on and off for many years and have managed to basically deal with it/tune it out. This past month has produced several types of intermittent banging or methodical tapping noise that are literally driving...

@kgolive, yes, I am still experiencing everything I mentioned before. I think it is likely permanent in my case since it has been over a year, although it does seem a bit better compared to the initial noise and fullness. Do you experience tinnitus all the time, or is it intermittent? When you...

I've suffered from tinnitus for several years. It was miserable for the first six months or so but has improved quite a bit. I've been fortunate in that it's only in my right ear and that after ~ 6 months of continuous tinnitus, it became intermittent and less intense. I have days off where it's...

Unfortunately, no. My TTTS is still the same—some days are worse, and some are a bit better. A few months after that message, I also developed MEM, which involves hours-long episodes of spontaneous spasms, flutters, or vibrations, usually triggered by yawning, burping, and similar actions. I...

Is your pulsatile tinnitus intermittent or constant?

Just to preface, I have regular constant high pitch tinnitus. It took time but I habituated no problem. About a month ago, in my right ear only, I have developed a low hum/buzz that is intermittent but very constant. I can almost “feel” it. As you can imagine it’s very depressing. I went to...

Myself and others with tinnitus have seen huge benefits with intermittent fasting. T fading and almost gone in some cases. There is science behind this that shows detox and the brain/gut connection can relax the central nervous system, as well as improve brain chemistry itself. The 5:2 diet is...

...and if so, have you made any progress: Dizziness, that started alongside tinnitus (has resolved 95% after first month) Intermittent tinnitus (i.e. from onset: one day high volume, one day low, one day unnoticeable, repeat - resets next morning) now with more 2 days of near silence, six...

Hi all, New to the forum. My onset of tinnitus came about exactly two months ago. All I can remember is that I irrigated my ears with an over-the-counter product, self-adjusted my neck and ran off to the gym. A day later, I started hearing a high-pitched ring which has now morphed into...

...throat last week that made me cough but the sore throat and cough only lasted a day. Anyway, today I have been experiencing intermittent tinnitus. The tinnitus lasts for about 10 seconds then disappears only to reappear about an hour later for another 10 second then again and again and so on...

Hi guys, kind of new here. Recently exposed myself to acoustic trauma on dec. 28th when I went out with some friends partying. Ever since then my ear ringing has gotten better with time. However, recently I’ve been having this electric hiss in my ears (mostly right), and it comes and goes...

Looking for advice on intermittent pulsatile tinnitus on one side, seems to be triggered by sound, speaking and eating. It presents as a thumping, not as a whooshing, and it varies considerably in intensity. My ENT is trying to work up my symptoms, I had an MRI yesterday and and my follow up...

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can give advice on habituating to intermittent tinnitus. I have a ticking noise off and on in my left ear and a tinkling noise off and on in my right ear. Every day I hear the noises short-lived but many times but it makes me jumpy not knowing when they're coming...

She said they didn’t test Meniere’s patients because they have intermittent tinnitus. She never said it wouldn’t work for intermittent tinnitus.

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...

I recently (about four weeks ago) developed sudden Pulsatile Tinnitus in my left ear and since then, I've been suffering from serious health anxiety about it. The pulsatile tinnitus is relatively rare and intermittent, but it happens and can be triggered by burping sometimes. After the first...

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 been having intermittent "static/electrical" noise that comes and goes all day.. Seems to be really bad when I first wake up and progressively get a little better throughout the day. Then I go to bed it it restarts again the next morning. It seems to be triggered by noises like bottle...

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...

Hi all, I am just wondering if anybody has had similar symptoms to me, and if so what their outcome was. At the beginning of April, during a period of intense anxiety – which I do believe is significant, I began having pretty bad nightmares. I had cleaned both my ears with a cotton bud (I know...

Hi Everyone, I need some help. I tapered off of Clonazepam a few months ago. Recently my anxiety got so bad, so I have been taking Benzos (Xanax and Ativan) intermittently for about 3 weeks. First week about 5 times, the last 2 weeks about 3 times. I’ve also been taking Ambien 10mg to sleep...

...people who have intermittent sleep-activated tinnitus. It describes mine to a "T" (so to speak). Can't remember -- does your intermittent tinnitus change with sleep as well? Looks like folks with this have reduced non-REM3 (deep sleep) and REM sleep cycles, which I completely believe, given...

Hi everyone, I'm a bit nervous to write this as I know most comments here suggest habituation, which is great, but I am just not at the point where I can consider that at the moment, but I'm desperate and am looking to share my story to hear your thoughts. So, I had completely normal hearing...

Hi, can anyone tell me is an intermittent whooshing in one ear only with head movement pulsatile tinnitus? I also have a continuous high pitched ring in left ear. Thank you for any advise, everyone on here who has whooshing seems to have it constantly.

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...

Hi all! I’ve had tinnitus for 30 years as a constant high-pitched static. I’ve long ignored it. But in the last several months, the tinnitus in my left ear has gotten louder and has taken on a pulsing quality for much of the day. I’d like your thoughts on whether this could be pulsatile. (1)...

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.

I have had tinnitus for years but I started taking a medication that has changed my tinnitus some and once in a while I will hear some intermittent crackling sound going on but it is very short in duration. I never experienced this before this drug. Sometimes the tinnitus does not seem as...

Hi everyone. I am 32 years old. I started having tinnitus a couple of months ago, but only some nights. Basically I wake up during the night or in the morning with tinnitus that fades away after one hour. It doesn’t happen every night but frequently (this past week it happened on four nights)...

Hi All, Just wanted to connect with some folks here who might be able to offer some advice or support for a new unwanted thing in my life. I'm 40, work in IT and have recently moved to Germany for work. Born in Australia. A bit about my concerns then.... I've always had some kind of blockage...

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.

Hello everyone, I have suffered with a whooshing in my ear for about 4 years now. It is intermittent and only ever lasts for 3-8 seconds and if I am honest it has no real impact on my life (I realise I am lucky for this to be the case). I have always assumed it was some sort of tinnitus but...

Hello, I'm in my 20s. My hearing was tested and it is very good in both ears. But sometimes (a few times per day or only one time per day) I have a high pitch squeaking or whistling sound in my right ear. It has either a very short duration (< 1 sec), which occurs a few times, or it stays...

Hi Dr. Nagler, I hope I am posting this to the right place. This is my 1st post here ever. Anyways, I developed intermittent PT in my left ear in Nov. 2019. By intermittent I mean I hear whooshing daily, it's just not 24/7 non-stop. I've had my hearing checked, all normal. Had an MRI, all...

Hello,this is my first time writing. I have had tinnitus in my left ear since feb.and noticed that sleep always triggers my tinnitus. This can happen at anytime during the night, I will get up with a shrill in my left ear( usually followed by a dream) . Distressing to say the least.this high...

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...

Hello Everyone !! In February of this year I developed unilateral PT (right side). I am thankful that at this stage my PT is intermittent and sometime I don't have it at all. My PT is most presesnt at night.I don't believe that Its present during the day when standing or sitting. My PT is...

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...

Hi there. I would be very grateful for any advice on my tinnitus which started about 2 weeks ago. I have had it before about 2 years ago but it did go away after about a week. Both this and the time before in my left ear only. It is intermittent comprising about a 5 second burst of loud...

Hi all, First introductory post here! I am an amateur music producer and DJ and have been going to clubs for the last 10 years (stupidly without hearing protection). About 1 month ago I had some new headphones which I played stupidly loud and it aggravated my tinnitus. While the tinnitus levels...

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

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...

...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...

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...

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.

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.

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

...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...

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

For the past two days, in addition to the constant white noise sound (which I've had for years), I've had this intermittent pulsing in my right ear. It kind of sounds like a muffled woodpecker tapping away or a very speedy heartbeat. It's really only brought on by me burping, yawning, or...
