I know for a fact. The T I got was caused by paracetamol. I got it 2 days after my last dose. I have never had ringing in my ears until 10 days ago. I am so stressed. Spent so much on ent and audiologist and they wouldnt help me. Do you recommend prednisone?

Well, before I got T I never heard this! Or maybe I did and didn't realise. It is certainly freaking me out!!!

I had what I think is Cochlear Hydrops which killed my low frequency hearing by about 30% in my left ear. It also caused other hearing issues and of course ringing and also a slight hissing sound. The ringing wasn't all that bad but it was there at about 3/10. I thought the tinnitus would be...

I'll answer as many questions as you want, it's no problem. I can usually suppress the pulsating sound completely by pushing on the right side of my jaw. If my T is aggravated then it's more likely to make it go steady instead of going away. There are also certain maneuvers I can do where...

Hi, I'd like to report some (non existent) results because I bet that some people like to know if this works. I've been listening to ACRN for over a month now by using generallfuzzes website. Can't really tell any difference even tho my tinnitus is still in somewhat acute stage (It started in...

yeah, i got the same t-shirt. it's like everything's affected. a good mate on this forum has encouraged me to watch tv, walk, etc, wont tell you how long i was housebound. tell me, does the frequency kind of hurt, do you feel it's quality, as i type mine is searing, sort of sharp, and that...

It was triggered by ear wax solution when I had ear wax build up. In terms of loudness it was very very low for the first 6 months then as a result of unrelated surgery complications I had a kind of nervous breakdown of sorts and it became unhinged. I’ve experienced it at 10/10 all the way down...

I don't recommend using that chart to compare your T to, because the measurements related to the chart are based on a a particular distribution of the sound energy across the frequency bands, providing a softer, more pleasant aural stimulus. For example, a floor fan is listed at 50 dB, and I...

Here's what he has said: For people with slight hearing loss, he will offer $6,000 for both ears with no additional cost. That is what he told me by email, saying that the level of damage is too low to need a full dose in one ear. There is also a Sales Festa thing that he did in October, where...

My experience with Clonazepam is very similar to yours. Five years later I still use it as need it (roughly once a week). I never had any of the habit/withdrawal problems that populate the internet. I discussed with health professionals and they say that is very unlikely at low dose and...

The success stories you linked were very reassuring. I'm beginning to understand that T is extremely unique, so even most fellow sufferers will not really understand your personal feelings. My T is relatively new, about 4 months; both ears and head, various frequencies. A few days ago, a new low...

I agree with RoeTaKa, might be some kind of hyperacusis towards low frequency sounds. And possibly some kind of vascular cause. Like I said, I also hear a basslike thumping, and am not sure if it's caused by my patulous eustachian tubes or ear spasms, can't really pinpoint the source.. I do...

That's great to hear Alex,funny enough I was talking to one of the doctors involved in the trial and even though I've had T on and off for the last few years he asked the trial sponsors about screening me also.They accepted to screen me and I'm highly considering doing it too!They probably won't...

recruitment is honestly a lose term it can be reffered to loudness hyperacusis or severe low frequency hearing loss. For example some people can't hear thunder or loud booms (because they are totally low frequency deaf) but can still hear high pitches just fine like whistles, birds chirping...

I've had tinnitus for about 9 years less than you or something if you have had it since 2007... And I held onto hope for this past year, and despite not exposing myself to any excessive sound, despite taking nearly every supplement mentioned on this board, still it worsened all by itself...

@Contrast, this is such a positive post, I am happy for you. Sleep is so important to our well-being, with or without T. A mild improvement is wonderful news. I hope you have another peaceful nights sleep in a quiet room.

Yeah I agree but I wasn't making reference to normal audiograms, I was talking hearing loss in general. The poster stated that he can hear all the way up to 18khz, sounds pretty amazing to me. I don't have much of any hearing beyond about 8khz, this is obviously where my tinnitus presents...

You probably have huperacusis then. Mine were sensitive but that went away, still sensitive but not to normal 60db sounds.

I fitted it well. The problem is it does not block low frequency sound very well. I actually did a write up on this issue if you look at my past posts. a foam earplug will attenuate 20dB at best for a 60hz sound. And a typical concert peaks around 110 dB. So even with the perfect fit you are...

Frequency and wavelength are essentially the same parameter - the values have an inverse relationship. Wavelength is usually quoted in nanometres (nm). You need to know wavelength and power. The power is usually quoted in mW. The MLS/Lux Spa laser is 30mW which is quite weak, but I think the...

Exactly like my situation was before the first violent vertigo attack. Took me some two years with that on/off -clogged ear -thing + distorted sounds, hearing loss, helluva T and then Meniere´s hit with a vengeance and changed all my life. Some of us have been writing here about MD. This is...

For me it is not tht much the loudnes than the frequency that gives me spikes. It can be very loud and no difference. But it can be very low and still make my hed explode(like my monitor spekers, which i use at lowest volume). So i don't know what to think of it either. And it is constantly...

Earplugs and earmuffs don't protect as well against low frequency sounds. And custom plugs have lower NRR than foam earplugs.

You should be able to get it off internet if you google it..CBD oil should be legal to buy in most places since it has almost no THC and you do not get high from it. Technically it does have some trace amount of THC, but very, very low. CBD is great for killing anxiety...look up Dr Axe on CBD...

I suggest you wait before you reach a positive conclusion. 5 days are really really small amount of time and it is very possibly your H had just a good day. When I was trying keppra I had similar observations, I also had T reduction and reactive T reduction in the first days. But they came back...

I have now the same situation that you had. The low hum tinnitus behaves exactly like you described. I have had this other times but this time is significantly louder than others. Went today to ENT, he says he sees nothing abnormal. I wish it settles down on time, and that I can continue living...

just had my first 3 T MRI - 20 minutes of scanning time total about an hour inside the machine Although it wasn't really quiet it also was okay with good earplugs. Maybe loud like riding an old subway train..not exactly quiet but again not acoustic-trauma loud like shooting ranges/nightclubs...

@Greg Sacramento Devastating news for my morale from the so-called neuro-otologists who are best of the best in my part of the state. She said it's just "tinnitus", and brain sourced in nature. She said irregardless of cause, noise or medicine, it's a central brain issue. What!?And that the...

I will listen to the sound of rain or pink noise while at work. I find it can help in times when I am not busy or thinking about much. I've thought about listening to some jazz music in the background at a low volume as well. When my T first began, I started to wear protective headphones...

Tinnitus or no tinnitus, I cannot understand why an audiologist would recommend a unilateral hearing aid to a person with bilateral symmetrical hearing loss. Seems like that's just asking for trouble! Stephen Nagler

@Littlebailey thanks for your interesting description. Has anybody dabbled in potassium modulating chemicals, is there any data on them affecting tinnitus in any way? I know autifony is different, cleaner targetting, but existing potassium drugs must have some effects you'd think. Also...

@daedalus, Do you know how hearing tests can help audiologists in finding the right white noise for hyperacusis treatment? When I talked to the audiologist on the phone (my assessment will take place in medio Oct.) She told me that she would start treating my H before anything is done in...

That is interesting. We have heard that the brain fibers are even more fragile than the hair cells and can be just as easily damaged without hearing loss. If that's the case, then you would think that AM-101 wouldn't do much for it, because it's really designed to deal with glutamate...

The random sudden pop/ringing is common for T sufferers. The best theory I have on this is that your brain realizes an issue and does some sort of "reset frequency sweep". Sometimes when I have bad days where the T is loud, I get one of these episodes and actually stops my T for a while which is...

13.8.2. Stimulation The use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment in several disorders was recently reviewed (Kringelbach et al. 2007b). DBS has proven to be a successful treatment in some types of pain (Kumar et al. 1997;Nandi et al. 2003;Bittar et al. 2005a,2005b;Rasche et al...

Right before I came to work my nephew gave me a blue tooth speaker that is loud enough to mask my T, I listen to music videos at a lowest level that mixes in with my T, I constantly hear or listen to low frequency music and video music I like before going to bed, talk to my wife on the phone and...

...world. Some AC's can have a rumble for example around 40hz, which can be quite heavy if one is for example sensitive to sound or has low frequency T/hearing damage. A-weighted decibel scale derates the sound pressure level in this range around 30-35dB because our hearing sensitivity is not...

I'll go first 1) How long have you had tinnitus? 7.5 Months, inside head electrical noise, right ear hiss 2) Has it always fluctuated? Yes, but now I have more low days than the other way around. Usually 4 low days (1-2/10) and 3 higher days 4-7/10. It used to be my low days were a 5/10 and...

That seems to be the same case with what I presume I have, "cochlear hydrops" My hearing was good for 10 days, low frequency really came back but not 100%. Then it just got worse again. This seems to be the same cycle that keeps happening since I got this 3 months ago. I don't think it will...

Thanks for the replies. My T was caused by extreme adrenaline surges from a reaction to Escitalopram. It was (and sometimes still is) horrendous. I've seen an ENT, had my hearing tested, had a CT scan and an MRI, ALL normal, no hearing loss. I haven't slept properly for 7 months and the...

I bet they'd find a link between low frequency tinnitus and a form of hyperacusis, if they tried a little hard. On tinnitustalk it's come up quite often, and astrid mentioned it back in the day over at chat-h. Unfortunately we have real pests that have infiltrated the system and project their...

You'll get there @Mcylra I'm also 3 months in and have had ear pressure (high pitched an low pitched T and PT). The ear pressure is so much better now than it was. However it is set off by specific frequency noise. We went out for a meal on Saturday and the telephone in the restaurant that...

One has to throw caution here. Audiometers are calibrated to dB HL (hearing level) which is a different scale to dB SPL and I'm guessing cell phone tone generator apps are calibrated to dB SPL. Our ears do not have a flat frequency response which means they are more sensitive at certain...

Even a high frequency hearing test won't necessarily find anything. Plus, there is no real standard for ultra high frequency hearing, people generally do lose it as they age, but unless you have had a ultra high frequency hearing test done before and after your acoustic trauma, there is no...

High frequency sounds will cut through anything - and can therefore be heard over anything (even if the volume of tinnitus is low...). There are official ways to objectively diagnose tinnitus severity using MML standards, I think. Information on this can (probably) easily be found on the...

I just started another round of Keppra yesterday (500mg per day), and the only side effects I've noticed is fatigue and cotton mouth. It does make sleeping great for me. I'm going to go against my better judgment and provide you guys with some personal results, but know, I'm really not...

Oomph, that's a tricky question @Shelly75. It depends for the most part of what the cause is of your tinnitus. For those with somatic tinnitus, pulsatile tinnitus or sensorineural tinnitus, their issues correspond mostly to neck dysfunction, blood vessel disorders and damage in the inner...

Telis I would think long and hard before I gave up sports; it does so much for you (and your T). The ONLY reason I would discontinue with a sport/activity is if it became abundantly clear it was having a verifiable adverse effect on the auditory system (and T). I cannot speak for your...

Yes I am sure it will work once you change the AD... :) Do you receive lots of hugs from the cats ? :)

My T worsened 1,5 week ago, and i've tried to identify what's new. I've had the T since late 2012. It was a 2/10 high pitch tune on both my ears, i quickly got use to it. Then while studying for an exam i noticed that i could hear the T even when listening to some music (only on my left ear). I...

What does it mean if your T lowers and comes back up. I think my T is fluctuating now.

I'm not sure what to make of this because my T is so different, pretty much daily. Sometimes 1 tone, sometimes multiple which can include any of the following: ultra high, high, medium, low frequencies and an ultra low pulsatile one, plus some gentle hiss. Right now it's not good - a louder...

These last few days have been the absolute worst days for my ears that I can think of. I have burned through more hearing than I ever have before (most of it being low frequency), and am simultaneously being punished by a nauseating waterfall rumbling in my ears that I can practically feel...

Fernando I had 2 audiogram done but up to 8khz with no loss more than 10db in both times Initially I thought my T was at 8khz but it is very difficult to pinpoint. now i think it is at a higher frequency maybe 14khz I got my T 6 weeks ago couple of days after a strong cold that I had I had...

I don't have any tricks but I think I am in the same boat as you on some level, both in terms of when my T started and how it started (infection) and having some residual ETD issues. My left ear still feels a little full like you say--in particular I can hear my own voice a little bit (mostly...

Hi Alxtan, All I've done as far as tests goes is a hearing test. I was given a button to push whenever I heard a high or low pitched tone. The result of this test was normal. In other words I had no severe hearing loss according to the ENT. I will pursuit more tests when I move back to my own...

I also hear it when I think about it. I wish that was the only time. It was with me for most of the day today. Now the low tones have taken over. It sounds like there is a tug boat outside waiting for me. I also hear the higher ones they are just in the background. My T seems to be much...

@humptydumpty69 This is an excerpt from “The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins on Blinkist.” Do we see any relation to the colour of light and the frequency of T it can reach? The scandinavian doctor Anna used both red and white light, appearently for different wavelengths (konftec offers...

I actually almost said 6MML reduction of 14dB vs. 6MML reduction of 44dB. But I thought the verbiage didn’t make sense. I may be confused about MML but it is (apparently) possible to have +20dB tinnitus, ala Krolo: Regarding this... I think MML is relevant but I’m with you on the problems with...

thanks for the reply, you have a Mac? I have tried so many times but it will not paste the file to the plug-ins folder, you have also tried the treatment Notch? how do I put the file in the folder of the plug-ins? I am currently following the site from ACRN generalfuzz.net, but you have to use...
