    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    before 1 hour took 100mg and changed to better my T removed a mid frequency discrete T and made high frequency hissing T in lot of high frequencies but very very low. Something changes. Yesterday with 2 does of 250mg was a very bad worsening from 2/10 to 10/10. Today with 100mg from 2/10 to...

    Sudden Low Frequency Hearing Loss??

    but to clarify, the low pitched rumbling terrifying low frequency T that came with the SSNHL went away. I am thankful for that. I'm telling you that kind of T I don't think anybody could last long with. I'm basically back to how I was before the SSNHL now, except the distortions or whatever...

    Weird Response to Frequency Test

    bwspot, My guess is that the T on your left ear is at 15000hz and the T on your right is not. When your ear hears external sounds that matches your T frequency it seems 'like the hair cells shut off or protect themselves', but it is not permanent. After a while (couple of mintues?) the T comes...

    Did I Make Another Mistake? :( Fireworks

    The ear protection you buy should have an attenuation data chart that shows protection at specific frequency levels. Here is one from my Howard Leight 33db Max. "In terms of estimating the amount of protection while wearing earplugs and earmuffs concurrently, OSHA recommends simply adding 5...

    Very Difficult to Mask Many of My Tinnitus Tones Now

    Ok. Well thanks for the clarification. "Restitution inhibition" is something I haven't heard before but by looking at the definition of each word I guess it means it is preventing your hearing from being restored.

    New York Post Article on Hyperacusis

    Preop when you had conductive hearing loss and H, did you also have a low frequency T? Or only the high-pitched T that remained postop? And just to be clear, no echoing, no thumping. The H was just popping?

    From Steady to Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Please let us know how your MRI goes. I have the same pulsating T and this is after having a low level of t all my life.

    New York Post Article on Hyperacusis

    ...is one of the big culprits, but there are others. When you "fix" the middle ear problem (with a stapedotomy), you often get rid of T. I can't find the research paper that explains the physics behind it, but there's a very nice explanation for the otosclerosis-induced low frequency tinnitus.

    Poll: Which Is Worse — High-Pitched Tones or Low Humming Tones

    Well said, loudness is all that matters. "Child's play" that I've suffered for nearly 7 years will very soon be the end of me. So unless you've experienced severe low frequency please don't jump into making dismisive conclusions like that.

    Drive in Car on Freeway — Tinnitus Spike

    @MrBonk I am a little confused over what you are trying to say. I understand that your ears have experienced T when driving. Do you mean to say that wearing earplugs didn't necessarily help you when you were driving in a car? And was this due to the loud low frequencies? I am asking because...

    Anyone Experiencing Changing Reactivity & Distortions?

    Thanks for your reply. The intensity of the tinnitus creates no pressure for me. I don’t get headache often. When the tinnitus is loud and intense, my internal self-talk needs to get louder and potentially erratic (stressed!) to drown the tinnitus raging. This can be especially true after a...

    My Tinnitus Can Be Completely Masked W/ Even Lowest Cricket Sound?!

    If crickets at a very low volume masks your T, why not listen to it all the time and try to forget about tinnitus? At that low of a volume I can't see it doing any harm. I wish crickets worked on me. That's an interesting theory. I do not experience residual inhibition at all, likewise, I...

    Second "tone" added?... after 13 years!

    The low frequency tone has gone away! Took like 5 days. The spike of the high pitch is still going on though.. in it's fourth week now, but it's been getting better... Hopefully it will subside too back to the normal baseline...Thanks for the cheer-ups!

    My Worst Fear... Tinnitus Is Moving from One Ear to Both

    It's normal for T to change every which way the first few months. Just ride it out. I tell myself every day, I am blessed. I have T in both ears, multi-tone, ultra-high frequency, low, etc. but I know it could be worse and I am blessed. Imagine if you had even worse T and it went down one...

    Weird Response to Frequency Test

    I Can Hear Things That Many Cannot in Spite of My Tinnitus

    Level Scale of Tinnitus — How Is It Measured?

    Manually Changing Tinnitus By Tapping Ear

    How do you not listen to 75db of 10k? Is your T lower frequency or not that loud? With all respect, if it's so low I get it, easy to not listen to, like mine was before it exploded. But at this very loud volume it's another story, as best I hear it.

    Tinnitus Over Tinnitus: Could You Have Ringing or Humming Over your Regular Tinnitus?

    Are YouTube Hearing Tests Reliable?

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

    Glynis, your information in confusing to me. I thought that a Meniere's disease type of T has low frequency (that's how I ruled it out, although I had fluctuating hearing and vertigo) I read that in many medical articles. So that is not true, Meniere type of T can also be a high piercing/hiss?

    High Pitched Hyperacusis/Distortion
