    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    I have forward head posture and straightened lordosis. Very, very rarely my ears are slightly clogged without any apparent reason, but I'm not sure I would even notice if I wasn't focusing all the time on my ears. On the other hand, before the penultimate bout of the low drone (mine is not...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    ...I did the MRI of neck, TMJ and brain. Neck MRI showed early spondylosis due to bad posture. Not sure if that is the cause. Before this low humming started, I had muffled hearing for couple of weeks. Based on the symptoms doctor suspected the ETD but my eardrum and all the reports were normal...

    Can Coughing Cause Barotrauma/Tinnitus?

    Yes, unfortunately this is how I developed a low humming Tinnitus on my right ear. I'd recommend seeing a ENT and possibly asking for some oral steroids and or steroid injection. Try your best to avoid coughing! Eat some garlic and take magnesium.

    My Posting Place

    I didn't know there was such a thing as low frequency tinnitus until reading this forum. I've been hearing this oscillating humming noise and thought it was a/c compressors or mechanical noise. I was hearing it this morning as I went from room to room expecting it to change but it didn't. Then...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Hello @Ben Winders, I have been reading your posts and I think I have something similar. I was exposed to multiple gunshots 10 days ago while wearing ear protection (that apparently wasn't sufficient). My hearing was muffled also with hyperacusis for several days, and hearing loss in my left ear...

    Can One Have Both Low and High Frequency Tinnitus?

    I have 3 or 4 tones, one at 15khz, one at about 10khz, a wooshing noise and a low humming which vibrates my head - I only hear that in silence.

    Otosclerosis and Tinnitus

    No. I planned to get a HRCT, then postponed due to COVID-19. I went to quite some ENTs and they told me that it might be otosclerosis, but my hearing loss is too little to benefit from a surgery. Also, I think my low hum can be atypical MEM or middle ear related. I don't think that otosclerosis...

    Hi @HootOwl , thanks for your response on the low frequency humming post. My doctor said that I need to stop ginko as it may be having an affect on kidneys. Not sure if that's true but I'm gonna listen. I found that if I put my ear plugs in the humming goes away. I also did a kettlebell home...

    After 6 Years of Coping with Tinnitus, I Developed a Low-Pitched Humming — Caused by Stress?

    @VickiD, I find the work of Laurence McKenna very useful. Anxiety, fear and reactivity create a vicious circle. Learning to pay less attention to the tinnitus, treating it as just another experience all help in creating a more benign mental/emotional environment. One needs to decouple the...
