Loads of loud noise. Gigs, band rehearsals, night clubs, etc. It all caught up with me in the end after 13/14 years of mild T. One day, I was at a stupidly loud, local bar gig, and I suppose it was the straw that broke the camels back. Two days later I had a head full of noise that I couldn’t...

That's quite stunning. Is your ''hyperacusis'' a lack of tolerance for sounds manifested in quick muscular-like zaps that fire up to startle sound that may be a form of TTTS, or is it a higher rabbit-like kind of hearing? Do you even have pain with your hyperacusis? It's interesting because...

There is still cracking and popping, but the inflammation has gone down and the pain/pressure occurs less. But just as I was starting to feel better with the ETD (two weeks ago) I get T in the left ear. That makes no sense at all. I feel like the T is worse after ETD issues go away.

Hello everyone. I’m new here. Had tinnitus for about 5 or 6 years. Have had a bad cold about 2 weeks ago, still very blocked nose and sinuses, always breathing through mouth. But today I got the strangest sensation in right side of face and right side T has spiked but worse, I seem to have awful...

You described what I experience! Alternating days with High freq buzzing. In my opinion this type of T is a symptom. Read up on MSG's in processed foods, mono sodium glutamate, its a neurotoxin defined as an excitotoxin. Its a food additive thats in everything processed in some form or alias...

The recording-volume on it isn't loud, but it seem to play very quiet for you for some reason. I just tried it on my iPhone speaker, and on max volume it's pretty loud. The pitch isn't exactly correct comparing it to my T, which is a bit higher (around 13kHZ I'd say, more like a dog...

I friends.. sorry I didn't get to see your posts earlier. I think that if you have any improvements you should try to go for 30 sessions to max it out. or at least 20, this are the best amounts imho. about the pressure, I only know that 2 atmospheres is how I got my treatments and that it is...

So had a pretty good week, with T being sometimes a low sizzle, or just low volume eeee. But I did have a scary (and strange) event, but somehow weathered that. Mid week, actually late Thursday I came out of a store maybe 4:45pm and got in my car, drove for about 10 seconds with the radio on at...

Hi Emily, Have you done an audiogram? When did your T begin? did you listen to music before that on earbuds? concert? Please give me a detailed history before you got T. Your T might have been caused by TMJ.

It’s Hyperacusis I’m worried about. I would hate to prompt its onset. Thanks for the reply. So listening to a little music, even if it raises my T frequency a little for a temporary period, is ok? It won’t make Hyperacusis worse? That’s become a big worry for me now.

I was wondering since I noticed my second T (low frequency buzz) after I used my printer and had earplugs (a bit oiled up) plus earmuffs on when using my printer. I'm trying to figure out if that was the cause or not. I put them in correctly, slowly and pulled them out slowly (buy they were a...

I’m experiencing the same T symptoms after purchasing Bose QC30 earphones a few months ago. Prior to using these noise cancelling earphones I rarely had T symptoms, occassionaly after concerts and for limited duration (few days after concert). I only use the earphones at low-moderate levels...

Totally agree. Ions, Smions. The HDR does not seem to apply to me. I wonder why this thead is here as it seems misplaced. I mainly drink water, very low sugar intake, and salt and caffeine are moderate. I enjoy my cup of coffee each day. I cut it out for a week and noticed no change. In...

And if I'm deaf around 10000 khz and I listened to that sound youtube full volume ( well, for me it was just silence) , but it was full volume..is it still harmful for other hair cells ? Gosh, I'm getting crazy here..I did that test on youtube to verify the frequency of my t so until 6 khz even...

God, how do you tell MEM from MEM like symptoms. I am at my wits end, just trying to hold out and go to a neuro-otologist for diagnosis. I've suffered from T/H for years, but this had made me question killing myself, as sick as that sounds. What's worse is it's an old condition I remember from...

Same here I would have not turned it down especially that the initial trials in Belgium had some positive results https://solentacoustics.wordpress.com/2014/07/31/experimental-tinnitus-treatment/ Half of the participants noted a large improvement, with 4 of them gaining a 26dB reduction in...

N/C headphones can be good for steady, low-frequency noise like an aircraft engine or background chatter. But some types can make sudden impacts sound almost worse, like a door slamming. I wore them to a band practice where there was screeching feedback due to our incompetent sound guy, and I've...

I had an MRI done for my neck today, and let's just say it wasn't that fortunate of an experience. I used the foam earplugs they gave me to cancel out the T, which were actually quite good, and declined wearing the music headphones as they amplified low frequency noises which are the most...

Sorry to hear you are suffering, Packy. I have ultra high pitch loud T and severe hyperacusis a few years back. My T pitch is like 20 times that of a dentist drill. It is simply like a lazer beam of ultra pitch sound with so much energy and resonating in my whole head. As I am typing, it is...

yeah definitely... but its kinda weird how some people that still have low hearing impairment but struggle with T and then you have others that might have more impairment and dont experience it on an intrusive level... maybe this comes down to genes as well.. again so many questions and little...

Hi. I tried to verify my t frequency on youtube video. They play sounds from 125hz to 12000. Until 7000 even very low volume was very loud for me but from 8 k on I heard less and less so I kept turning up and when it came to 11, 12k I turned the vol to maximum and even for 2 secs I put it right...

You are lucky in comparison to me if you don't hear it over music. Don't even know how that works, since music is usually fairly broad frequency range, so it should show up your hearing distortions, unless it's supper compressed stuff. Speech is pretty much the only thing that isn't annoyingly...

You're not very specific, but I suspect your doctor is thinking you may have otosclerosis. Then the Rinne test didn't confirm, so he took you off the list for surgery. If you haven't done it yet, you could do a CT scan to see if there are any signs of otosclerosis there (radiolucencies). It's...

...at all that are likely to take more time to adapt. Now ... with regard to tinnitus, I'm presently having an awful time with 24/7 low frequency T that began in Feb. I am on meds to sleep, antidepressants, valium as needed. Sounds are distorted with my implant, my voice echoes/booms, and other...

Thanks for posting this. I had standard annual blood work done recently but I don't know if they test for thyroid function on those or not or it's just the standard blood sugar and cholesterol stuff. My mom has been on thyroid meds since I was a kid, I'm wondering if it might be the cause, or...

What concert are you going to? How loud do you expect it to get? These downbeats are plugs for music, with a more equal reduction across the frequency spectrum than foam plugs. They still let a lot of sound through depending on the frequency. They're probably fine for a solo piano performance...

Yes it does seem to be the way that these things work, I can create files with broadband noise that seems to quiet my tinnitus and then each person can notch them to their own personal frequency. From the study, supporting the use of tones like you say: We speculated that pairing VNS with...

You're still early into tinnitus. There's an excellent chance that you'll make a full recovery. But you will probably always have some damage to your cochlea, which means you'll need to wear hearing protection whenever you go to loud places, do yard work, etc. Many people have very minor...

Yes, so something stupid happened today. I was reading an article http://audioconsult.com/services/specialized-testing/noise-induced-tinnitus/ and there is a line saying: "Many patients report their tinnitus to be above 3000 Hz (a very high pitch)." and so I went on youtube to get a picture of...

Eric-Just wondering how you are doing in regard to your T. I feel bad for you to get it as young as you are, or any age for that matter. I too, wondered if it had anything to with my neck and had a carotid ultrasound of my neck, but showed little plaque. Under chiroprator thread I talk about my...

Thanks for your detailed response. do you experience pain in your ear or around the ear?

I've searched these forums for hours, and I can't find any posts mentioning the ability to control the tone/pitch/frequency of their tinnitus. I've also met with audiologists and ENT (I'm currently scheduled for an MRI) and none of them have heard of this. It is the "eeeeee" type of sound, and...

Bumping because I'm very interested myself. I have 1000mg taurine supplements right now and not sure how many to take a day.

Lorazepam also makes my tinnitus low, when I was addicted to it for about two months I took 1mg. But withdrawal increased my T, so now I have to take 0.5mg to get silents on the day after. This is first time I reading about infusion flumazenil, looks like it might be my ticket out of benzos...

Hi Candy, It was just the standard audiogram test, up to 8k, slight dip at 4k but tbh I don't think that test is very good, I would suggest I had low frequency loss at the beginning as I couldn't seem to hear bass but that seems to be slowly improving as my ears heal, I hope so anyway. I am...

They don't test for any of the frequencies involved in music, they don't test barely anything! Heavy Bass hearing loss specifically you won't see on hearing tests but causes high pitched T. They don't test low frequency bass tones because they aren't "necessary" because they are not a part of...

Thanks, that is really sweet. I hope you are coping ok. I love my son and wife so much, I just wonder if I'm going to feel tortured forever, or whether this will simply become an irritation that isn't taking over my life. Yeah, I don't know that it's unbelievably loud, it's just it is very low...

I'd definately hold out until after your 6-8 months sabbatical from Dj'ing and educate yourself in the meanwhile on the safest ways to continue your passion. I'm no expert, but i've read that a lot of DJ's with T prefer in-ear monitors over headphones as this gives them better volume control...

Firstly, DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK UNLESS YOU'RE SPEAKERS ARE SET TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE SOUND. This video is of a dog whistle sound, very high pitch. I was 10 feet away in kitchen and he clicked this video and it killed my ears. Speaker Volume was decently high and it made my ears EXTREMELY...

SUMMARY 3 days good in a row good, with Scale 1 or less (so covered up by 60db refrigerator) and then one day of T 1.5 through the whole day. Reminds me I have to take it just one day at a time. EARBUDS Ironically, discovered my earbuds didn’t put out proper sound on the right, so bought a...

I was thinking, are you sure you even have Cochlear hydrops? Did you only get low frequency loss? Did this happen to both ears at the same time or one ear?

Hello there Martin 69, I notice that you have had your T a similar amount of time as me and just like you I am trying hard to habituate but sometimes I wonder if trying too hard means we are still obsessed and giving it more space in our thoughts than we should, I would be interested on what you...

This is me. I am deaf and have always had high-pitched ringing (don't care about it - it's my silence). Then, in Feb, 24/7 low frequency T started: it was horrendous, overpowering my entire head, multiple sounds (banging, static, electrical zapping, whooshing, etc) along with my cochlear...

Thanks again for the answers. Learned a couple things today. I've you're depressed you have to act. Worked well. Also if I am exhausted, I do breathing meditation or use self hypnosis for relaxation. Showers are great, mask my T. What seems to be important is that I should not think or speak...

I started with mild fluttering about a year and a half ago. Then last October or so, it progressed to the full muscle contractions in one ear that can last for days. I still get it and it cycles between totally normal some days to fully jammed and is mostly, but not always, due to sound (not...

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced some of these symptoms, and if so, have you made any progress: Dizziness, that started alongside tinnitus (has resolved 95% after first month) Intermittent tinnitus (i.e. from onset: one day high volume, one day low, one day...

You may want to get a referral to see a TMJ specialist to see if your T is caused by that. Hearing loss can occur for continuous usage of earphones but the best thing is to get this checked out by an audiologist. I have hearing loss in the high frequency, so my T is ultra high pitch dog whistle...

I don't know about anyone else, but with my level of "non life" with sever T, SRT (sound reactive T) and H....THIS LOOKS BLOODY DARN GOOD!!! The H and reactivity to sounds is what is keeping me out of "life" (well interactions with humans basically). Yes my T is incredibly loud, but it is that...

Another newbie. I have had a level of T for 30 some years which I was fairly capable of ignoring; suddenly, last month, the right side developed a new lower roar/hum like a massive transformer inside my head, accompanied with pressure and low frequency hearing loss. I've had migraines for my...

Yea, same here really. My higher sounds stand out above most things but my lower left ear, drone, can get camouflaged whenever I’m outside the house. The closest thing we’ve got to ‘measuring’ tinnitus is via pitch matching a tone based on the sensation level. But, even this is not great. Most...

I've had the high pitch ringing since the early days of otosclerosis, most likely because the disease didn't just attack my middle ear, but it also attacked my cochlea and is therefore responsible for my sensorineural losses, which obviously didn't get fixed with my surgery. 6 months later I...

1) How long have you had tinnitus? Since August 1, 2012 2) Has it always fluctuated? After my Noise exposure twice in the month of September, Yes it has been fluctuating 3) Do you think your fluctuations are somatic in nature (neck, shoulders, back, TMJ issues)? I had spikes due to loud...

I have been using the notched "I call them tracks" as some are music and others are white noise, or Rain. My T hit me in Sept of 2015 after having "Radio Frequency" killing the sensory nerve on 4 of my vertebrae on both sides. Since that time I have tried just about everything. My T does not...

You couldn't have known. We make mistakes and like someone said "if you would go and do it again, that would be stupid". So don't beat yourself up for it. One good thing is I have warned all of my friends, and they now wear earplugs at clubs, i'm proud of that! haha Wow, i didn't know flushing...

Mine never was a 10/10 more than 5 days. I have experienced what i call 10/10 ... several times but only short periods. In general I would rate mine a 7-6. Strong enough to ruin and take hold of your life. I rated mine a 6 at ENT and she said, oh it`s not that bad than? .. well if silence is 0...

Thank you for the welcome. I actually wrote a pretty dark song about it called "75". It was a rotten song that sounded like a self-pitying junior-high emo-journal (which is how I felt at the time): but as it fades out I digitally produced that tone we know so well. A few people I played it...

I'm not sure if there is anything else but this available: http://journals.lww.com/otology-neurotology/Fulltext/2014/04000/Efficacy_and_Safety_of_AM_101_in_the_Treatment_of.4.aspx "A small transitory hearing deterioration was observed from baseline to Day 7 for the placebo and low-dose groups...

Yes but why no kings or conquerers then? We know a lot about many of them. We f.i. speculate that Alexander the great was gay but there is nothing about wheither any of the likes of him through out the history have had tinnitus. We know that Ceasar had epilepsy and so on... I'm not saying...

Well, my ENT visit has been and gone. The doctor himself was a very nice guy, seemed quite knowledgeable about tinnitus and was aware that some people find it difficult to cope with. His advice was keep yourself occupied and try keep it off your mind, use masking when in quiet enviroments...

Jane, does yours dart in and out with a shrill sound? Mine sort of makes a circle going from high pitch to some lower pitches and then back again. But it does always close the circle, sometimes it sears in high and then goes low and stops. There's static around it all too. I wish the movement...
