Hi, Laurie, I have both a high-pitched hissing regular tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus. I did try the masking/hearing aids on a 30 day trial basis, but I had to take them back because they made my pulsating worse. However, each person is different, and they might be very effective for you...

Hi click, Thanks for the reply.when your tinnitus is low for many days ,is it quieter in the mornings on those days as compared to loud days[like mine]? On loud days is the intensity same as when the T started or it is less[ particularly in the morning ]. mine sometimes is silent on waking up...

Actually they did. AFAIK masking was discovered by chance. It's all trial and error. Source, http://www.ata.org/michaels-story So how can any company claim to have a special algorithm for tailering a unique sound modulation for the individual's T frequency that can inhibit the corresponding...

I think you're right. I've re-traced by the text messages to my wife and mother, and my internet search history in the days before I had issues. I went to the show Sunday night and Monday I was googling tinnitus relief. Looks like i'll be investing in some serious custom-molded plugs in the near...

What concerns me more is bone conduction noise as a mountain biker. I have not done this sport since the onset of my T. There is so much hammering around and I have no idea how loud this internal jolting activity actually is. From the front forks up my arms, a ton of noise travels through...

Well I'm not convinced either. But Ive to do something. Today I am pretty good but yesterday was awful. Loudness changes about +- 20% and thats enough to go from bearable to torture for me. I wouldn't mind to spend more money on it. Actually I would pay 100k to get rid of it. But in this case...

Hey @Philip83 ...Sorry, bit of a side track here, but do you know what frequency your T is more or less??? Ummmmmmmmmmm...I played your tinyurl and put my speaker volume slowly up to 100 (max) and just vaguely heard some sound swishing sounds. Then manually turned my speakers' knob way up and...

Not likely to help, in my considered opinion, but I'd follow your ENT's recommendation anyway. A one week course of steroids in an otherwise-healthy adult has a very low risk profile. And the thing of it is, we really don't have good statistics on how many folks with tinnitus it truly does...

How long did it take for your fullness/low frequency hum to go away? For me it's been lasting longer hours throughout the day, now only a 2 hour period in which it is not happening...think it increases when im lying down too which sucks cus i cant sleep sometimes... Its low level hum but also...

Feeling low today. Developed T randomly last month. Not noise induced- I did have a mild head injury but was never diagnosed formally with a concussion (doctor didn't check). Other doctor told me it was ETD a couple of weeks ago, but he checked my ears this morning and said they looked...

Ive been having vertigo since may. My tinnitus is like yours except it grows in intensity daily. It always goes back down though. Medicine lowers it, inflamation seems to make it loud. It goes over my head at its worst. But most of time I can control it. I have a drone with certain...

Hi Mike, I'm new here in Tinnitus talk , I've read most of your posts and I wanna give u thanks, I live in Brighton too btw :) I'm suffering T (high pitch ringing in both ears) and Hyperacusis from 12 years, from playing loud music in a rock band, I've been dealing with this all this time quite...

Can a high frequency noise hurt you? Not necessarily loud. Do you (anyone can answer) wear earplugs in stores or other places and how often? All the time? I ****ed up again. I am too stupid to have this and cope or protect myself. I am thinking about suicide again but seriously...

Since when do you have tinnitus? Since November 2016 How loud is your tinnitus? Can only hear it in a quiet room. What's the frequency of your tinnitus? I don't know. I can't determine the frequency. It's not high pitched at all, more like a low hiss/sometimes whistling. Rate your...

My main objective with LLLT was to improve sound quality overall - so far so good. T is more complicated, it may take more time there is also a brain factor so we will see - the pitch has changed to a higher and more piercing, clear sound that is a fact while the mid/lows sounds have improved a...

My loud, low, vibrating, washing machine type, unilateral sound went away after 3 weeks. Considering, that I had it in 2016, 2017, I expect it to come back later. I don't know what caused it, don't know why it went away. Interestingly, in 2018 when I did not have it, I was on a passive term at...

Massages helped me a lot after I initially got T. My back & neck were in a knot ... especially after the T, and the massages helped me relax. Also, riding my bicycle a lot. I can barely hear the T with all the city noise and wind, so I'd forget about it for a while. I'm also taking vitamin D...

That's what I'm thinking too, maybe time to call it quits. I had some really great days with total silence but now it's worse than ever. And just when I though I may be the lucky one who will be helped. I should have known better when it comes to my luck:(

Thanks. I wen't to a Neuro-otologist this morning. Supposedly real hot shots in this state. Bad news for what she is saying, I don't believe her. She said it's just "tinnitus", and brain sourced in nature. And that the vibrating sensation is in fact possible too. I cannot accept it. I asked her...

Yes a magic wand would be so nice !! About a month in with this bloody T in right ear. Awful days...and some good ones....makes it tough to get used to.. example the last 2 days felt like things were on the mend...controllable....not really noticeable .....even gone.... ...my senses...my...

hi, Gingko does not help unless you have blood clots or circularly problems, basically its a blood thinner, which help blood flow smoother. Avoiding coffee is healthy in general, caffeine is brain stimulant. Avoiding coffee also helps you sleep better. well piracetam is nootropic, makes your...

Is it just a steady humm, or does it feel like a vibrating pulse that's low frequency? Does it change in it's rate, or just continuous? Can it get worse by doing anything like driving and turning car off and hearing it worse, or using earplugs? If it's just a low drone/hum sound, and right after...

The only place I cant hear my T at times is in the shower but when i shower i have a morse code clicking that comes and goes. My T sounds like a 16khz frequency. I can hear it in cars with music loud restaurants filled with people and music, near my old loud AC unit. Thing is I honestly don't...

Hi all, I have had low volume, high frequency T since some dental work over ten years ago, perhaps also previous high noise level damage. I got used to it, and use a noise machine at night. In last few months have had a loud hum appear, only in evenings late, goes away in day (or when standing...

...way to this forum. Chatting with people here was about the only thing that kept me sane through the first year or so of my severe low frequency T. As the others have said (and as you've read) you're in the worst of it now, but the more you can try to habituate the better. It's perfectly...

At the very least, it seems like some people have t that has a much deeper connection to their emotional well being than others. The sort of constant, obsessive rumination that I do over t, is a deeply established set of thought patterns that predates my t by years. I wonder if "simpler" cases...

Hi, I'm 45 y.o registered nurse my T started August 1, 2012, a low hissing soft pitched in the middle of my head...it seems to be fading but I had a setback last Sept 7, I attended Mass with loud volume speakers after that my T changed to a high pitched sound with cicadas/crickets in the...

To be entirely fair. I had great time at concert. It certainly did spike my tinnitus, and it definitely gave me some temporal hearing loss in low frequencies due to bone conduction. I will do audiogram and post results before and after for giggles. Never again anything loud in closed space and...

I have low frequency T. Mine always has the humming and DEFINITELY the vibrating. It used to just be the back of my head neck but at night and with little sleep or when Im really tired it vibrates throughout my whole body. Feels like everything is shaking internally. Steroids worked in the very...

Hi everyone, thank you so much for taking the time to reply and leave your messages of encouragement. It definitely means a lot to hear from people going through the same thing and knowing that you all cope in some way. I actually managed to get a few hours sleep last night which is a start at...

Hi Dave, i have read a lot about neuromodulation but people and italians doc. that study Tinnitus problem tell me that could work only on pure tone Tinnitus like the Phase Out system. For example i have T in my left hear. My audiogram is: 6000hz 15db 7000hz 40db 8000hz 35db (and after i don't...

I got a masker hearing aid combo a few weeks ago. It has four programs. 1. hearing aid/masker with low frequency pink noise. 2. high frequency pink noise (just above my hearing loss) 3. low frequency pink noise (just below my hearing loss) 4. hearing aid only. It can be programed with any...

@Tom Riordan I am sorry you've had to experience this trauma with your ears and hearing, and I HOPE it clears up soon for you. While not an audio engineer (though come to think of it I did editing for 7 years), I do get into the vagaries of the frequencies and my hearing since T. My hearing...

I live near an airport and some highways. We have good sound insulation, but in general a fair amount of low frequency urban noise gets through. I've spent the last few days way out in the sticks, mostly working on my laptop sitting outside, and what you get here is a lot of quiet...

...the gun. I was instantly deaf, hearing only a soft "whoomp!" When I spoke it was as if the high frequency spectrum was gone - flat, low frequency tones only. Withing seconds my hearing started to return, and my ears began to ring. They have continued to ring since. About 6-7kHz in my...

Stress anxiety/depression can work on people so differently it seems. I'm 59 ...prior to this T starting I was actually starting to feel a little better after a couple of life events....have dealt with stress and worries etc for years but have always managed to deal with it and get on with...

Had these forever but only started bothering me recently when my tinnitus got worse. One ear would sound normal til I noticed that hey it was like a low ocean sound, then it would go silent and I'd feel like I was deaf as the other ear would go high pitched then slowly die down over the next...

David, does your sound join these different tones together in like a 'dance' or are they completely separate not joined up? I have an in-ear sound therapy machine an have it on low in the worst ear which never gave me an adverse effect but after a few weeks I started to be able to hear it in...

I don't see problem in going to gigs. Just pick up earplugs with a fitting attenuation profile as I did and just stay nearby mixerstand (bets sound quality without huge speakers nearby you). Usually ear plugs somewhat lack attenuation of low frequencies. Good profile for high protection would...

My otologist/neurotologist told about 10% of people diagnosed with hydrops secondary hydrops will get low frequency hearing loss. I've been with hydrops via eCog but I've had abr, multiple oae test even highest frequencies and about 2 extensive hearing tests a month since oct 2017 no loss even...

Dr. Nagler, Please forgive me if this is a question that was asked or is similar to what was discussed before, but I would love to hear your opinion on my own case. You support on this forum is enormous and your answers gives me hope. As I explained before I started to have tinnitus after...

Im not going to be able to go on for much longer. This a very critical situation.

First time poster and just like everyone else, I'm also desperate to escape this sleep robbing, life destroying nightmare called tinnitus. Its been almost 2 months for me and using process of elimination, the most likely cause of my T is acoustic trauma. I feel that it is important to know the...

They might not be designed to protect one from noises like a fire alarm, or a large metal object falling/slamming. They are designed to eliminate constant low-frequency noise like the noise one would find in an airplane. I tried both Bose Q25 NC headphones (with no music) and Peltor X5A, and...

I've said many times on here that the protection we use, ideally, needs to be appropriate to the noise we're likely to encounter. However, unless your car sounds like a jackhammer, I believe it's unnecessary. Ultimately it's up to you though; if it works for you, then good luck to you. I just...

@DebInAustralia No horror stories? But that is what acoustic trauma is! :LOL: My acoustic trauma symptoms: - middle ear fullness / puffing up with air - bad head hum or whooshing sensation in affected ear which is as much a physical sensation as it is a sound (kind of like blood rushing or...

Nothing funny about my response to you @Michael Leigh, no need for a smarmy ''Funny'' response. 1. TRT have literally backtracked to ''we just help you adapt, we don't decrease your tinnitus'', as shown in this thread. That is, when heaps of evidence were thrown at them that something...

I realy can´t tell. All we know is the low frequencies heal faster that high frequencies. I think as well that if you have a drop on a frequency and the two at side are Ok, that would be faster, than for example you have a drop in the really low or in a really high. The reason I think is...

Fyi i am in sg too... Same thing happened for me too.. they said i would not survive long if i stop plavix.. need to be stented.. 99% block in lad .... i declined to be stented at the aed after having an heart attack.. it took me 4 hrs to decide to go aed.. another 4 hrs for doctors to find...

I wouldn’t worry too much about bone conduction as it takes around 40db off the incoming sound. I would only be concerned about that if I was at a really loud concert exceeding 120db, for example. In which case, I’d be long gone before any bone conduction got me. Try not to overthink it. I know...

Man, it seems our experiences are fairly similar. I've had this nerve-racking phenomenon myself since my tinnitus began. I also have it with other low frequency-type sounds, such as the steady drone of rain and in the shower. Computer fans also make it audible. The louder this noise is, the...

Thanks for the words. I'm trying to believe exactly that, but my right ear actually hurt and felt full (even today its still slight sore), many on the comments of that video even said their ears were sore, so I know I didn't mentally cause it. I do wonder if it would of been a lower freq. would...

So yesterday I went in for a routine MRI to look at my neck for a possible compression of one of the nerves in there. I've always been terrified of loud MRI's, but the previous two I had caused no hearing damage or T spikes whatsoever, and they were done just last spring. This time I wore the...

Hi @Mettafort, my T when it first appeared is about the same volume has now. I did have a few occurrences where my hearing improved (only my low frequency improve never my high frequency) When it happens my T is more manageable. Since Easter my hearing loss has remained severe and my T is again...

A comment because in spite of all the great responses, Michael and glynis cover your best approach beautifully. My comment is...you may have an undercurrent of anxiety that contributes to both your T and H. Sure, your T and H are rooted in reality but you may have heightened anxiety perhaps...

Ok great thank you! I don’t know if I’m just over thinking it but it does definitely feel like it’s changed pitch since using the head pieces, I’ve been balancing them over my ears so they’re not fully covered and had it on a low volume whilst taking breaks... going to give it a few more days...

Sorry, kinda late to the game here as have been too wrapped up in Retigabine to do much else. However, seeing as this thread is about Autifony, etc. and the Phase II trial criteria is/was a hot button issue...am I just "isolated" in regard to T and hearing loss frequency ranges??? I have talked...

I don't think OAEs measure above 8k, just like standard hearing tests. Mine didn't anyway. Listen to a frequency sweep on low volume on decent full range headphones or speakers and see what happens at the higher frequencies. Probably some hearing loss there

My tinnitus developed about 12-14 days ago. I'm 36, a bit of high blood pressure but overall pretty healthy. I was not around any loud noises, it just came out of nowhere. First a ringing in my right ear that I would only notice if I thought about it. As-of 4-5 days ago, my left ear is so loud I...

Reactions to this thread are strange. Bill never said every single T sufferer will get worse if exposed to noise level that would be safe for people with healthy ears. He merely stated that there is a very non negligible chance that it may not be safe, and that ear protection might not protect...
