    Hearing Problems Around Tinnitus Frequencies

    Hi, my T is arround 11khz, alternating from right to left or left to right side. It's not a pure tone, it's hissing noise. I have also hearing loss at 1-2 khz (-30db) and a notch at 8 khz (-40db) The audiogram didn't change notably since my last hearing impact. It seems that the T makes...

    Feedbacking on Top of Everyday Sounds

    Hey guys. Just been getting some more new unwelcome T joining the orchestra in my head, this time a low humming noise in my head that came out of the blue. Since then although the T itself is quiet, I hear it noticeably humming over certain low frequency noises, such as road noise when I'm...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Long-Lasting Everyday Home-Practiced Experiences

    @Anima I'm using Wilden's Lucy laser and I've been getting a new tone which is a very low frequency. It comes on as a low freq. fleeting tinnitus and then sticks around for a couple hours or so. I remember this happening when I was using the laser several months ago then stopped and I remember...

    Is There a Correlation Between Tinnitus Cause and Type of Sound/Pitch?

    I'm wondering if people with a certain causes of T tend to have a certain kinds of sound (and pitch). For example, I believe that people with T due to Meniere's disease tend to have lower-frequency pitch? (no idea what type of sound they experience, whether it's a "eeeeee" or a "sshhhh" or...

    Low Frequency Added to My Orchestra

    I was also wondering if someone could answer the next question. My new T sounds like a buzz, it wobbles a bit (no specific rhythm) but it does not pulsate up and down. It is in such a frequency or db that I can't hear it outside. I also can't hear it when I plug my fingers in my ears which...

    Does Different Tinnitus Have Different Sounds? For Example, Hearing Loss vs Acoustic Trauma

    As far as I am aware tinnitus is in general just different in everyone. If two individuals were in the same room and someone fired a gun and this induced tinntitus in both, it's likely that their T would sound completely different. Cause of T does not decide what the T will will sound like...

    Reactive Tinnitus or Something Else?

    I'm exactly the same. When it was really hot this summer we had a fan on in the bedroom; my t screamed when it was on and afterwards for a short while, had to stop using it and bathe in sweat instead. Mine was the tone around 5500Hz that roared up.

    Spontaneous Recovery Stats: Many Recover (3 Studies)

    Hey @Christokp, I'm assuming you mean 9kHz, because I don't think humans can hear as low as 9Hz (the generally accepted range is 20Hz - 20kHz). I've seen people mention that the frequency of your T often matches the frequency of your hearing loss, so it's possible that your hearing loss is at...

    Reactive Tinnitus or What is it exactly?

    I don't understand, if your t is low frequency motorized and you say in a later message it only reacts to sounds of similar frequency, why is it reacting to higher pitches like white noise and unmaskable? And how is your rumble so loud and yet not felt, as opposed to heard, and felt in the sense...

    University of Minnesota Tinnitus Research with Acoustic and Body Stimulation

    Be careful by just saying it takes xx db of sound pressure to mask your T. It really depends on the spectral content of the noise. If you have 13khz T it is a lot harder to mask than 1khz because of the frequency spectrum of the noise sources. Download an app like Decible X and look at the...

    My Tinnitus Is Completely Gone

    I can't identify my frequency at all... I even tried to have it professionally matched at a place that specializes in T, and the audiologist got frustrated with me because no single pitch was anywhere near my T, and also, the T in my right ear changes 5 times a second between a low and high...

    High or Low Frequencies, Which Causes Most Damage?

    Thanks for the response, I'm happy you're doing so well. I read some of your previous posts after the am101 trial where you also mentioned that your t was very low. How much do you attribute to your t being so low now to either Am101 or Trobalt? Or combination of both?

    Hi @Voirrey, and welcome! So sorry your T recently got worse.

They include a low rumble/drone/motor sound (that I...

    Scam? Phase-Out Mobile App

    ...The problem is that my T is a pretty high hiss and you can't just switch between frequencies. The app will play a sine tone from low frequency to high and you just have to press stop when you think it's the right frequency. So if you're T is within a high frequency range you'll have to wait...

    The static steam hiss is the only T noise I hear most of the time. Occasionally I'll get a low frequency rumble, but that's more a sensation than a noise (although I do hear the rumble.)

    Acoustic CR® Neuromodulation: Do It Yourself Guide

So after hearing it, instead of hearing a pure tone, you will hear more like a white noise. That is...

    btw I have about two distinct t sounds i can make out. In my left ear I have a pronounce low frequency and reappearing buzz while at the same time I have a very high pitched buzzing sound in both of my ears… the latter is the one, to my best understanding, which wakes me from my sleep.

    Why is tinnitus louder in the middle of night?

    One other theory in my case is the change in background noise I have used. In the beginning I put a fan on but then later changed the sound to rainfall (http://rain.simplynoise.com). The fan noise was probably too low in frequency for my high pitched T. Rainfall is MUCH better. I actually enjoy...

    Hearing Aids and Tinnitus?

    @Georgia Hearing aids make sense if you have hearing loss in lower frequencies AND your T is in low frequencies.
