    Waxing and Waning of TMJ Tinnitus

    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...

    Introducing Myself and Losing All Hope

    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...

    Introducing Myself and Losing All Hope

    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.

    Is It Severe Tinnitus When You Hear the Tinnitus Very Clearly Over Most Noises?

    I'd say it depends upon the individual. I have 24/7 low frequency T that 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 ...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus After Cold

    Mine started during a cold and 5 years later it's still here. In the past I had periods of silence but not anymore. I hope it goes away for you.

    Tinnitus From Low to Loud in a Day

    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...

    Best Earplugs for a Concert?

    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...

    Does Hearing Loss Keep Getting Worse?

    @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...

    On & Off Loud Humming

    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 low frequency hum (somewhere at 100...200 Hz, so very deep) in my...

    Is the Thought of Tinnitus Getting Worse Scarier Than Your Actual Tinnitus Level Right Now?

    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...

    Tinnitus Tamer

    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...

    Frequency Therapeutics — Hearing Loss Regeneration

    New to Tinnitus, Ultra-High and Finding It Unbearable

    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...

    Does Anyone Have Low-Frequency Hearing Loss and NOT Have Meniere's Disease?

    @Redhen Did your low frequency tinnitus/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...

    Hearing Loss and Ear Pain/Nausea from Earplug Removal and Suction?

    Living with Loud Tinnitus

    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...

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    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-frequency tone - a tone that is not pure, but a static - a quieter "residue" that often remains for...

    How Did Your Tinnitus Start?

    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...

Also, I've had anxiety issues for over a decade and recently had a major anxiety flare up due to a short course...

    Fire Alarm 2/21

    And in my case something in addition to spiking. Some kind of swelling or inflammation that causes temporary low frequency 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.

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Went Away Completely in 2010 (No Habituation)

    @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...

    Does Using a Mobile Phone Affect Your Tinnitus?

    Advances in the Neurobiology of Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

But the weird thing is that I can hear pretty well between those frequencies. After...

    I Give Up

    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...
