I the only reason I ask is that you may very well have tinnitus caused by or complicated by your TMJ, however even if you are able to treat and alleviate the issues that TMJ causes you, your tinnitus may remain in some form because it could also be related to your hearing loss.
The fact that...
Your hearing looks pretty good. It's the first time I see an audiogram that shows better hearing on high frequencies than low frequencies.
Her audiogram goes way past 8 kHz (perhaps into the 16+ kHz). Hidden Hearing Loss (HHL) is orthogonal to the frequency domain : you can have HHL anywhere...
Thank you, I just had my doubts thats all. Yes, I would hope that her audiologist had the proper equipment calibrated to the relevant standards etc
I'm glad everything turned out well for Hania and hope she can find some peace from her T.
I'd say it depends upon the individual.
I have 24/7 lowfrequencyTthat I hear over everything, and I do mean everything. Last week, I heard it clearly over an aeroplane engine for three hours. Right now I'm watching the t.v and it's blaring away. Would I say this is severe? No. It's just ...
Well, then there is the reactive part. This is where I really get lost. When my T is below about a 5/10 I can mask it and it often will receded slightly. If its above 5/10 then it will get louder and compete with the masking sound, so I have to not mask at all. It's always a game of chance. But...
I know what you mean. It's nice you've find something that helps you relax. Does it help a little @HeavyMantra ?
I'm also in that transition period to accept intrusive sounds (One of my T sounds fluctuates a lot). Reading was my gateway to relaxation, but nowadays I need something like classic...
Take it from someome that went to a outdoor festival 3 weeks ago (with 30db Earplugs) and regretted it ever since. In fact it is my single biggest regret right next to catching T in the first place. my baseline T has spiked after a few days and been hovering at 50% higher than what it was before...
Hi @sunmoon. Just a suggestion going forward on the forums - if you use tagging (e.g. @earflappin, etc.) when asking a member a question it will be flagged so we see it on the login bar making it easier and faster for us to respond.
earflappin what do you think it's better ACRN or Notch for...
@Relic Hunter,
When you say high.frez. hearing loss, do you know what frequency? Normal, young, healthy human ears can hear frequencies as low as 20Hz and as high as 20,000Hz. However conventional hearing tests cover only in the range of 250Hz to 8,000Hz, as most sounds of speech occur in this...
Glad that I found this thread.
I am experiencing the same issue. I have had tinnitus for about 10 months now, and until last week, it had been in the high frequency range. Last Sunday, however, when I woke up, I noticed this lowfrequency hum (somewhere at 100...200 Hz, so very deep) in my...
9 days into tapering Venlafaxin and I am down to 75 mg a day now.
I am beginning to have a reaction to tapering. I am more depressed, my T seems more intrusive and I dont know if it is due to tapering, but my ears have begun to buzz more, the very lowfrequency buzzing that can be both heard...
Yes. Big part of my mental health problems related to tinnitus is the overwhelming fear of it worsening. I'm 31, I know it's embarrassing, but I just started to live my life, and bamm, tinnitus pulled the rug out from under my feet. I don't see any future for myself. As I guess, acute said in...
take pill now and than on such powerful drug will lead that you will get epilepsy and that your t may worse buy imprinting itself deeper in brain. I just say so you know, this medicine is made to gave maximal oscillation 150/day in a week.
Karl -- Thanks for posting this information! This really does sound similar to the Dichonics program, which I'm still thinking about trying when it's available online. It's all about matching your tinnitus tone and habituating to it, so it will eventually cancel the T.
I'll be interested to...
SPECULATION AHEAD:
I noticed in FrequencyTherapeutics' new video, they're using this technique to "blur" syllables that are typically harder to hear by those with high-frequency hearing loss.
In the recent past, they have indicated that fricatives are the first "batch" of English consonants...
@Blair14 @rtwombly @bedouin
I went to see Hector Wells in Banbury, UK.
May work for some. But made my t worse.
My constant lowfrequencyt is louder and more reactive, even a week later. My intermittent high frequencyt is now constant and more defined as a kettle whistle.
I had asked him to...
Hi all, new here but I've been reading through the forums since my T started almost 2 months ago. It started as a loud noise, which went away, only to replaced by several other (lower volume) noises. Now I have two tones in both ears but the worst is this ultra-high pitched T which floats from...
Hi @Michael Leigh,
Ad 1. No vitamins then :)
I had super intense hyperacusis at the beginning but I feel like it's going away. T is still there.
I'm not a club person. I used headphone almost every day but at low volumes (I mean, really low volumes. 10%, max 30% of my phone's volume bar...
@Redhen
Did your lowfrequencytinnitus/hearing loss start from loud noise exposure, or is it just aggravated by noise?
I have a similar problem going on, but mine seemed to start from a migraine and then noise exposures, which frankly were not supposed to be dangerous in terms of loudness...
...really find a pattern describing which particular tones are set off and why. I also do not believe that Meniere's need manifest as lowfrequencytones exclusively.
@Jkph75
What has your hearing and T been doing recently?
Also, I had posted this on the tinnitus board for general readers...
My Father's partner recently developed T & H from a kiss on the ear. Sounds crazy but I've seen it referenced here before. Its the negative pressure and I think you've hit the nail on the head with this cause. I stopped using silicone plugs because I realized that, being a bit harder than...
I agree, it depends on the frequeny of your tinnitus.
The highest frequeny of an orchestra is the Picollo which tops out at 4000Hz (4khz). So TV is way less than that, but tinnitus usually only STARTS at 4khz (acoustic trauma dip). So anything over 4khz would easily be heard over the TV.
If...
Hi Greg; I hope also my T change after stapedotomy ; Have sensorineural loss that is not curable; but also transmissive loss -70db on lowfrequencythat i hope to recovery. Byee
Glad it's working for you! Perhaps you had some type of mineral deficiency causing the pulsatile t or maybe an inflammation that was reduced by one or more of these ingredients. Did you ever take any of the ingredients separately Which are found in this product or is this the first time you are...
I got retigabine for first time 100mg.
Yes it works to relief symptom.
But is works by depression of CNS i have the same feeling like taking low dose benzo.
Works best for HF T especially for very high frequencytinnitus.
I measured i little bit lower hearing maybe 5db at high frequencies.
I...
@Vegas Robb I think of that everyday! If it changes, it means one day it can simply vanish, right? I live with that hope!
Mine is ototoxic too (thanks to @ampumpkin for explaining me the correct name) but I have both variations, high pitch (ringing/whistle) and lowfrequency (car motor / engine...
Fleeting tinnitus is entirely normal, even people without chronic T get it.
Usually it is described as a high, pure tone.
However the following occurrences are also normal and temporary:
- a low-frequencytone
- a tone that is not pure, but a static
- a quieter "residue" that often remains for...
I do get it with music too at certain frequencies but speech seems to be ok. I was addicted to an ototoxic drug also noise exposure and it runs in my family
I did not write that volume is all that matters. I wrote that my T is extreme. And beside that I wrote that I have deep, low sounds, which have rotating/alternating nature. Like a washing machine or some kind of wind storm.
And I say I cant habituate to that because I have also 3 high frequency...
Mostly changed the sound during this last 9 months. The sound is getting thinner and lower. After 4 last days were it was lowereing, and yesterday was really low, during big part of the day, sometimes didn´t notice it, at night went up, and today is high again. But I never had a sound so high...
Nice suggestions I do not have those on hand at the moment. I tried a benadryl and a multi vitamin and didn't get to sleep.
I don't get why I can't sense my T when I stand up and walk around but in bed it will be obvious from either ear. I feel like I'm going through a cycle of getting up and...
Overall it's better yes. I didn't have days of silence before the injections and even when I got T overall its lower than before. But it was best my first month after the injections. But even now, yes it's better than before the injections. I'd still rather have 1-2 days of silence a week and...
Your English is fine. :)
My tinnitus is also "noise," not tonal. I have hissing, cicadas, tea kettle whistle, scraping sounds, etc., sometimes just one sound at a time and sometimes a combination of sounds. I went to the generalfuzz.net/acrn site and found the frequencythat most closely...
Tinnitus started in October 2014 at age 52. At first it was pulsatile whooshing in left ear only. Think it started with severe ear infection causing punctured eardrum twice. This phase lasted for 8 months or so with very low ordinary tinnitus that I could only hear sometimes at night. had a...
yeah also got that, kind of spike before settle down, it always goes away after 5 minutes and after the settle down is for sure better than before the dose, you are not the only one and i dont think there is a reason to worry. I see it as a first brain reaction like T fighting to RTG and finally...
Hello everyone. Hope your T issues are minimal to zero today!
I've had some really low level T for years, but only noticed it if I was in a quiet room and even then I had to search. Also, I've had anxiety issues for over a decade and recently had a major anxiety flare up due to a short course...
And in my case something in addition to spiking. Some kind of swelling or inflammation that causes temporary lowfrequency conductive (I think) hearing loss, that only returns to normal once the inflammation has subsided. Plus return of worse H.
Be grateful if it is just a spike.
I reeeeally need an answer to this question. I only need a wearable sound generator for my T. My audiologist with Kaiser says she will program it for me and conduct the TRT, but Kaiser has some kind of exclusive contract with Starkey and that's 1,800$ (w bluetooth). Their devices only offer...
Hi, @Blodorn!
About two weeks ago, I noticed this some sort of distortion over some environmental sounds:
Running water - lowtone
Fan - low siren-like tone
AC - low siren-like tone
Car Engine - whistling
Some music/TV - distorted tone at times
Computers - lowtone and some rumbling noise
Loud...
@Vinnitus , my father really doesn't have a clear recollection of his T symptoms. His T adventure occurred over 50 years ago, he's currently 75. From reading your collection of symptoms, have you thought that maybe your T might not be from acoustic trauma? Maybe your first bout with T left...
Interestingly I was asking myself the same question and stumbled upon your post.
My T seems to be intensified by travelling. Car/Train/Airplane they all have a similar low-frequency noise which spikes my high-pitched T.
Listening to white Noise, equalized music or ACRN around my T frequencies...
As an update i am feeling fine. No change in t and the soreness is no longer there. I would like to clarify that i have worn my plugs daily for over 5 months commuting to and from the city through the subway system. I was exposed to volumes of 100 dbs every time. Not once did i experience what i...
In the meantime I know so many people having T.
The big problem is that T is not like T. As we know one could suffer with mild T, others cope perfectly with loud T.
The thing is that many people I know have no issues with their T. So I sometimes feel weak when I suffer so much.
I was just out...
I'm kind of the same; mine feels like my brain is humming sometimes, like I couldn't say where it's coming from, it's just "my head". I'm sitting in my audiologist waiting room so I'll mention it!
Hey Martin hope you're doing ok ....I get periods of all I hear is the low hum and I'd take that any time over the high pitch eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Oh well our battle continues.
Sounds like you need some time. I try not to focus on it, but then, like today I drop a 2 x 8 on the driveway and the noise spiked my T. The modulation you have, I have the same. Sometimes it just changes frequency for a little while, maybe for several minutes, or maybe hours. Clenching the...
Before I contracted tinnitus in April 1996, I had a history of depression and panic attacks. This is not uncommon. Many folks who got tinnitus from out of the blue have reported the same experiences. I finally got on antidepressants in 1999 and have tried different ones. I've been on Lexapro for...
Shouldn't this mean that everyone should have 2 tinnitus frequencies? Well in my case this might be true because I have on frequency at 14300Hz (more in right ear) and another around 9300Hz (more in left ear). But the weird thing is that I can hear pretty well between those frequencies. After...
That sounds similar to myself then. I’m going to just carry on but only listen at weekends, low volume, and for no more than 40-60 mins at a time. There’s nothing more I can do now I don’tthink. I could get a more in-depth streamer that allows me to EQ to remove certain frequencies but I’d...
I think my T was worsened by caloric test (ear irrigation), VEMP (100-110decibels), Fire Alarm two times, and a plane flying low. But my bet is on the first two. I like you have experienced mild, moderate, severe, and extreme tinnitus.
Neuromodulation is very interesting. I don't hear my T when I wear my WNG, just a pleasant distant white noise. But when I take them off to go to sleep it's very present and loud, hard for me to fall asleep. Wondering if it's because my ears are getting used not to hear the T so it sounds more...
Hello to all,
What a strange year it's been so far! Noticed aural fullness in my left ear around Christmas 2016 and went through the usual stuff - ear wax drops, visits to GP, etc. Was informed of the possibility of ETD and that I should pop my ears, etc.
Then...... the tinnitus started and...
This is all pretty cool, I'm sure that we can try a few different methods of auditory stimulation too.
As well as notching music I can make files that play tones all up and down the frequency spectrum in different ways. I have a few that I'm working on at the moment that quieten my T so paired...
Keep in mind bass goes through skull so it wont save you from lowfrequency hearing loss from what I understand.
I have slipknot gig in next 3 weeks in Poland and have tickets already (before T intensified) not sure what the hell to do. I said to my GF I might go but I definitely will wear 25db...
...is what creates the spasming in the tensor or stapedius muscles.
I would think that the vibration of my ear might be related to the lowfrequencytinnitus I have. I remember back before I had noticeable H, and I only had T, that this lowfrequencytinnitus would turn off in silence and that...
