    1 second of silence

    Well, as car reviews will tell you, Hondas in general tend to be road noisy. That says to me that the frequency of auto road noise is one that masks your particular T. Is the same for me. Do you have the same effect when you ride in someone else's car?

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    Hey locoyeti. I don't have objective tinnitus. Just pulsatile tinnitus. Pulsatile tinnitus is not necessarily objective, it can be subjective as well (I am the only one who hears it). I know for sure that it is pulsatile since I can understand that it is synchronous to my heartbeat (I actually...

    Tinnitus Increase for No Reason: What Can I Do?

    2 weeks ago i begun to have some low frequency strange tinnitus in my left ear, with sound amplification/resonnance and vibration like feeling. Even after prednislone treatments it keeps coming back sometimes, and i feel like it increased my original T in right ear. ENT do not know what it is...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Recovery After 2 Years (Not Habituation)

    @Flamingo It was louder in the beginning but has lessened in volume up to now. It's at a point now where it really doesn't bother me too much. The high frequency hissing seems to be becoming more high frequency. I'll have days with average volume hissing - maybe a 3 or 4, then other days when...

    I do qi gong every day in a park pretty close to a highway. Good mix of noise enrichment and nature. I can't really enjoy just walking or sitting in nature anymore, unless I have a day with low tinnitus. My T doesn't even begin to be covered up with natural sounds, only crickets are in that...

    Any Concert Lovers?

    My doctor told me foam are better. I wear the 33 db ones, and I still enjoy it, and I wear the muffs over it. I think it is so loud you really can't kill the sound. If you wear the muffs over them, you muffle the sound a lot, because I think it blocks the lows a lot more, but I don't find it...

    Very Difficult to Mask Many of My Tinnitus Tones Now

    sound at the specific T frequency and I have a program that does it in pulses two second on two seconds off it usually causes restitution inhibition but at certain times it can spike T even if the volume is low

    Does Everyone REALLY Get Used to This?

    probably, probably not, maybe, probably not, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, probably not, maybe, maybe, almost certainly not, probably, unlikely because most people over 25 have some fleeting T and barely think of it so I wouldn't even call it a condition. The only people who even...

    Screwed Up at a Concert — Recommendations for My Early Stage of Tinnitus?

    thank for your post. It helps me to understand that your and my T is appear the same. The human body have alike (same) reaction for loud sound in identical conditions? Today is 84 days for my T. Now it like (not loud like on video but looks the same)

    Do You Still Listen to Music?

    Absolutely I still listen to music. I mix on a daily basis as well. The key is safe listening levels. You can get a dB meter on Amazon for like $20. Absolutely worth it. I was lucky enough to learn the proper safe way to mix when I was just starting out. Low -moderate listening levels (72-75dB...

    Spike from MRI

    @Natalie Roberts MRIs are usually provided for asymmetric hearing losses or T in only one ear. The logic is that acoustic neuromas are usually located in just one side. The chances are very low (<0.5%). It is more useful to get DPOAS or high frequency audiograms to 16KHz...

    Decibel Readings I Took While Flying This Past Month

    You're right, they are better in the low frequencies : 3m 1100 : Frequency (Hz) 63 / 125 / 250 / 500 / 1000 / 2000 / 4000 / 8000 Mean Att. (dB) 30 / 33.1 / 36.3 / 38.4 / 38.7 / 39.7 / 48.3 / 44.4 Howard Leight Max : Frequency (Hz) 63 / 125 / 250 / 500 / 1000 / 2000 / 4000 / 8000 Mean Att...

    Silence Versus Noise

    The silence and hyperacusis that is required to cure my own low frequency rumbling tinnitus is such that swallowing sounds like a waterfall. This I induce by complete silence for a couple of days where I use hearing protectors to flush the toilet and otherwise read a book (though turn the pages...

    Screwed Up at a Concert — Recommendations for My Early Stage of Tinnitus?

    Thanks for the update, and glad it is improving. It really does not sound psychogenic, but more noise induced. Most important thing is to continue to protect from loud noises, and not push the limits as it will screw up the healing process.

    Katy Perry Concert and Earplugs

    I'm sorry but if you were unsafe with earplugs I think the entire young music industry would be getting T. They aren't because we now have awareness about how important protection is. And moreover, the elder music industry, who has T, is all still playing, just with the plugs. In fact, I've...

    It Wasn't TMJ, It Was Just a Misaligned Jaw!

    ...I have a bit of a dodgy jaw alignment I'm wearing a mouth piece for and developed noise in my left ear two months ago. It's a sort of low frequency T that fluctuates in volume and can be alleviated or gone completely if I suck my eardrum in. It returns to what it was before when I release the...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — General Discussion

    No major side effects, just a bit of tiredness and sleepiness. Yes got my pills from a pharmacy, all legit. I'm just worried it may not work on low frequency noise. Maybe it's more for tonal T?!

    The Positivity Thread

    I had mild tinnitus for 2 weeks. It felt like I almost habituated. It was there but I was able to sleep and do all the stuff. It was still high frequency but low volume until yesterday. Out of nowhere its volume went up and 2 nights with no sleep or bad sleep. Thx god for those two positive...

    Notched Music Therapy (DIY, AudioNotch, etc.)

    I have had T since April 2014, which came on suddenly. Not sure if it's because of too much loud music in my youth, genetic (my dad had hearing issues), or all the ear infections I got as a kid. However, I have been trying all sorts of supplements (90 days at a time) with no real effect...

    Continuous Ear Ringing After Stapedectomy

    ...was a link with eyelids. It is not uncommon for T to be "worse when I wake up". It depends what the root cause is. When are you doing your post op hearing test? Try to ask for a high frequency test (ie above 8 kHz). Ok so it's mostly a low frequency T then, rather than a high pitch, correct?

    Can One Still Listen to Music (Headphones) with Tinnitus?

    A late addition to this thread however Ive enjoyed the discussion and wanted to contribute. I suspect that the tendency to increase the volume in headphones and ear buds is owing to the perceived volume possibly being lower owing to the difficulty that these tiny speakers have in creating low...

    How Low Is Your Low Frequency Tinnitus? Is It Like Mine? See This Web Page

    I've had tinnitus of 8,000Hz for 9 months now. However, 2 weeks ago I developed low frequency tinnitus in my left ear. It feels like something is actually vibrating in my ear but I'm not sure. Could be stapedial myoclonus but it's hard to tell. At first I only noticed it at night where it...

    Helped by a Hearing Aid

    Welcome to the forum. Glad that your hearing aids have helped you immensely. I have tried some hearing aids from my audiologist when I first got tinnitus but it didn't help reduce my T. Are there any differences between ordinary hearing aids and this Starkey one specifically for tinnitus and...

    Hearing Aids

    Cheers bud. Will try Keppra. But yeah essentially as soon as frequencies go above 4000 it bombs. So Im guessing hearing aid will help, over time. But expense... so any tips people let me know. (And prefer a hidden one). Note Danny - how can you not have hearing loss with T? and it is a question...

    I've been on lipo-flavinoid for 2 months now (that and 3 l of water a day) and the results are very encouraging. The T is mostly unnoticeable except in quiet surroundings, and even band practices no longer bring on an attack. My low-frequency hearing has fluctuated a lot, but the overall trend...

    Salicylic Acid Cream — Permanent Damage?

    Last night my neck muscles were so tight and this cream was the only thing I found that could have relieved some of my suffering-it was 40% methyl salicylate. I placed this cream all over the back of my neck, but not in huge globs. In the morning my low frequency hearing was down again, with...

    Can Popping the Ears Cause New Tinnitus Tones?

    ...a day, by yawning mostly. Been doing it forever, even before I got T. It feels much like an "unsticking" feeling, and now makes my low frequency tinnitus louder for the time I have my jaw open. Anyway, I was lying in bed (my ears always feel full in the morning), I yawned and felt a proper...

    Sensorion's New Drug: SENS-401

    Yes the sensorineural loss is not expected to be recovered with surgery, but the conductive loss recovery has a really good success rate. There are some treatments for the sensorineural part, but they have limited success. At the very least you can try and prevent further deterioration.

    This morning I had a spike as I woke up during the wrong sleep stage at around 5am. Later when I got up and attempted a shower reset, it seemed to take but not completely. Later in the morning it unravelled and I sat and listened to the T gradually increase to an intrusive volume at an...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Your T stops with steroids (cortisone) ? I have similar results with cortisone my hearing change at all. H and HF T stop. Remains only low volume medium/low frequency T. I can modulate this T with middle ear air pressure changes. If i more than 30mg methylprednisolone my T stops completely.

    Is Age-Related Hearing Loss (Losing Uppermost 20 kHz and Going Downward) Preventable?

    Telis, You know a lot about this disorder and will simply give you my opinion. I believe the answer is because the frequency range of your T and the frequency range of the aircraft (much lower Hz) are dramatically different and why you can hear both simultaneously. It is like a chord on a...

    Very Severe Tinnitus

    Has Anybody Experienced This Specific Type of Tinnitus?

    I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Thanks for the explanation, it is scary for a few moments but it passes quite quickly. Strange how the frequencies change so much. I think I have some ETD issues too, my ears click whenever I talk or make certain sounds.

    Almost Six Months and Struggling Again

    Hi @Jenni8619, in the beginning clanking dishes would get me every time. Even the ventilation pipe that runs over my desk at work was unbearably loud.

    Low-Pitch Tone in Right Ear When I talk, Hear Any Sound, Bend Over, BUT Goes Away When I Plug My Ear

    it sounds like what I generally categorize under hearing distortion, i have several of them. frequencies in sound which show up as T like tones instead of the actual sounds. very upsetting. I theorize that it's caused by partial haircell/synaptic damage, and that with further degrading, these...

    Earplugs Advice

    Who Here Has Habituated to High Frequency Tonal Tinnitus?

    I would characterize myself as habituated. I have an 11.5 kHz tone in my left ear. There is a hiss in my left ear as well, but the 11.5 kHz tone is prevalent over the hiss. The tone is not exactly constant, it fades in and out quickly, as if in a beat frequency pattern. Very strange. I...

    Sound Meter to Trace Sources of Noise?

    what you'd want to do is get a relatively high-quality microphone, record the audio, and then use a program like Spek (http://spek.cc/) to analyze the sound file and see if there's any crazy high-frequency harmonics going on. I have personally noticed that my T can get sort of reactive to...

    Tinnitus in ONE Ear: Should I Be Concerned About a Tumor or Cancer?

    The odds of it being a tumor are pretty low. Still, it may be a good idea to rule it out with imaging tech. That is a good lead. Otosclerosis can definitely cause the feeling of fullness (it did for me), but I don't think the fullness would go after a while: the conductive losses aren't likely...
