    I Rather Not Be Here Than Hear This Loud Scary Sound :(

    Hi, @kelsey, Yes, I think a CTA would be a good idea, to see if anything can be found. I'm not sure what could be causing the low humming along with the pulsating. Did it start suddenly, or come on gradually? Have you been to a neurotologist, or only to an ENT? You might want to try going to...

    Middle Ear Problems?

    First Long-Term Spike (from Going Out to a Noisy Bar) After Many Years of Mild Tinnitus

    Mine, which will be 6 years old this next Saturday, has been loud enough since day one to be able to be heard over any other noise with few exceptions (shower, sometimes). Loud angry angle grinder sound. I've been through lots of random spikes, multiple durations. Horrible. The feeling of it...

    Newcomer: Tinnitus from Loud Music Years Ago, Now Got a New Humming/Vibrating Sound

    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Worsened After Taking Turmeric for Back Pain

    Hi, my name is Jerad. Recently, my hyperacusis and tinnitus were only mild. I had improved very significantly with hyperacusis. I’d say my LDLs were around 80-85 decibels, which made everyday life tolerable for the most part. As for my tinnitus, I had habituated to it and it wasn’t bad. I didn’t...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Recovery After 2 Years (Not Habituation)

    I would say that the fact you are losing the "higher" pitched rings/hiss is a very good sign. Your T is fading. My lower tone also comes and goes, sometimes totally unnoticeable, and sometimes very noticeable. My lower tone has improved in the last week, I have a theory as to why. My ears have...

    Relationship Between OCD and Tinnitus

    I've never been officially diagnosed with OCD, but I definitely have some form of it. To be clear, I do NOT wash my hands repeatedly, count things, or feel the need to open a door several times before I enter a room. Mine is closer to anxiety and depression. In fact, I've been on antidepressants...

    Has Anyone with Low Frequency Tinnitus Tried IV Circulation Enhancers and Steroids?

    I have had very severe hyperacusis and mild tinnitus (not very bothersome so far, although sometimes spikes) and all I can say is that there is no medication that really helped more than fruit, tea, and anti oxidants. When I have a pill or a certain medication is just to stop worrying to think...
