I sympathize with you, as this is where I've been as well for the past eight years. My reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis dictate my life. My high-frequency, multi-tonal, discordant tinnitus is a nightmare that is only getting worse the older I get. I've accepted that this is my tinnitus and am...

Otosclerosis is a middle ear disease (mainly - there's a "cochlear" variant too). I experienced intermittent humming.

@Travis Henry was right when he said tinnitus has no limits. My high-frequency variable tinnitus has gotten worse in recent weeks; I suspect it is due to occasional Benzo use after the medication leaves the system. I have more bad days and fewer bad days. Time has not given me any benefit over...

Some hum causes: Venous hum is humming sound in veins due to blood flow. The blood flows to the brain from heart and or aortic vessels via the internal carotid and arteries of vertebrae. This humming sound is produced due to the vibration of the veins - blood flow in veins. An interventional...

There's an interesting thread of people (including myself) that have the exact same thing. I guess, like with all of us, the humming stops when people talk to you or when you put your finger in your ear? I know it sounds crazy right now, but trust me, you WILL be able to cope. It will take a...

I HATE humming and low thumps more than any other sound. I'll take the ee or a hiss anyday. I literally remember when I was better hearing static in both ears in silence thinking... you know... this is just static... it's peaceful actually. The low bass crap is bs.

The pain is gone, but now I have a low humming sound. I'm losing my mind.

My tinnitus is (or was) also a low humming, but nothing stops it.

That sounds like residual inhibition (google it). In my non-scientific opinion it shows your tinnitus can be suppressed with sounds. This might help with any future sound treatments in the pipeline but I'm just speculating.

Een goedendag uit het koude Noorden, @Ben Winders :) Low humming as a byproduct of your 4 kHz dip? Wow, that would be a hell of an interesting side effect. I don't think it's that likely :D There's only one particular study (see Sereda et al., 2015) that suggests that the tinnitus frequency...

Hey felau, did you ever find a cause of fix to your low end humming?

If you’re still here, did it get progressively louder? Or the same thing on and off over 20 years. Did you have lots of noise exposure in your life?

I don't know too much about residual inhibition but I didn't think it would explain tinnitus suppression over a period of days (I thought it was more temporary). A lot of people on this forum with low frequency tinnitus seem to have this feature where their humming noise can be suppressed after...

I’m in the U.K. I feel so flat. I’ve gone back to square one. The low-frequency humming is low but then gets louder; it’s hideous and it is intrusive. It stresses me out to a point I feel sick. I didn’t sleep last night. Lay awake nervous and the noise louder to a point my head was...

Yes, I can 100% relate to this. You have been through an "acoustic trauma", due to your previous fragile ears. This has happened to me as well - pretty much feeling exactly the same way you described it in the quote. There is also a great component of stress and anxiety mixed into this, which...

Well, my low humming vibrating noise is back from hell after being in remission for almost a year. Only in left ear. Yesterday it was not that bad, I could sleep some hours with Clonazepam, didn't hear it in the morning, then it came back and now it sucks. But what I don't understand and maybe...

I'm another one with low humming after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. I told two doctors. They thought I was wrong and it couldn't happen. Looks like they should have been giving me steroids. Ah well. My faith in Doctors is well and truly lost.

Hey guys. Just been getting some more new unwelcome T joining the orchestra in my head, this time a low humming noise in my head that came out of the blue. Since then although the T itself is quiet, I hear it noticeably humming over certain low frequency noises, such as road noise when I'm...

Welcome to the forum. There may not be enough readership in the Introduction to respond to your question about low humming tinnitus. But this has been discussed frequently in the past. You can do a search such as this link below and get much needed info about low humming tinnitus. Good luck. God...

I've endured a journey through hell since making the above post. Although I'm not fully healed, I can confidently say that I'm no longer plagued by suicidal thoughts or confined to my restroom. I'm gradually reintegrating myself into the world, stepping out once more. The intensity of the tones...

Do you mean a passive silicone earplug or an active one (emitting sound)? In the second case I am afraid to irritate continuously my ear nerves. I am convinced both my hissing and low humming come from branches of facial nerve which is irritated.

Do you still have the low hum in both ears? You said your pulsatile tinnitus was eliminated by Tenotomy, correct?

Just something I'm doing at night that may help other people. Sleep on your arm (see image below for illustration). I'll explain (bear with me as it is a bit hard to explain and it sounds a bit loco but it works). Most people with low frequency tinnitus can stop the humming by putting a...

Was reading that low humming can come from a constricted cervical artery near the mastoid.

Hi @Sugarpuddle. I understand that your experience was different from mine in the fact that you didn't have tinnitus before, I just wanted to be clear what my experience of taking Cefalexin was. I can't definitively say it was the antibiotic but there was a quick jump in the level of tinnitus...

...damage that is causing our other tinnitus and hyperacusis. Dr. De Ridder and all the other specialists have no clue what is causing the low humming tinnitus, but congestion and inflammation probably is not it (unless you are very, very lucky). Search for "low frequency tinnitus" on this...

What dose of Mirtazapine and Duloxetine did you take, or are you currently taking?

Yes I had the same since early March that I ended up low humming tinnitus in my good ear after a cold which probably will never go away ☹️

It’s been years since I posted anything on here, but I think this little update might offer some hope for people who have been suffering for a long time. For those who don’t know me, I first met the tinnitus monster in 1992, at the tender age of 17. I had attended a rock concert that left me...

What's it sound like? Especially in the morning is a big question of mine. Ringing? Seashellish? Low humming? Can't they offer you endolymphatic shunts if nothing else is working to at least keep you from going deaf? Do you have vertigo or just unsteady? Is the tinnitus in both ears?

What do you use to mask the low humming? have you habituated to it?

Middle ear myoclonus is clicking tho isnt it? The videos I saw of that are not even close to low humming.

Hey, a few questions for you regarding your low hum! What kind of level of hearing loss do you have and at what frequency? Is you hum around the same frequency or below 100 Hz? Does it cut in and out with other low sounds or is it constant no matter what?

Can the low humming come from you neck? Somethimes i feel like there is a strap around my neck/head and somewone is pulling hard on it. Still have the low humming, somethimes its loud en when someone is talking to loud or slam the door a feel a vibration in my ear. My ears are clicking when...

I have 2 different high pitched ones, one in each ear, and a low humming in both.

If it's any consolation, I too have the low end that comes and goes, and goes away when shaking my head or the right noise frequency cuts it out. Humming or talking stops it but it returns instantly when I sstop. Frustrating but comforting that we all have this exact same thing. Clearly there's...

@GregCA : Thank you for the info. R u still suffering from T? Mine is a low humming...

Out of curiosity, has your eustachian tube been evaluated?

I don't know how exactly others' sound like, mine sounds like a mix of a washing machine, a foghorn and a timpani drum with a humming/buzzing quality to it, hard to explain. Mine is situated in the left ear clearly, but it wandered for a couple of days to my right ear last fall. I don't hear it...

...super loud but I put resonator in the muffle so it has become lot quieter. It's still around 70-75 dB. Do you guys think it's too loud? I avoid ALL loud places but I am really into cars and I can't imagine giving up this car. Again not too loud but it has very low humming noise like...

Hello, i am in the EXACT same situation with the low humming like you... Did you found any solution yet?? Thank you Antony

Hey, Yes definitely with fan sounds. Ie. low humming noises.

I have two low frequency hums that I hear when it's quiet, loud high frequency ringing/hissing that I hear 98% of the time, and middle tones that multiply when I turn over in bed. Trust me when I say the low humming is the least of my worries.

This is a total rant and I'm disorganized so I'm sorry Hi, I've had the usual high-pitched hear-over-everything scream that a lot of y'all have for 2 years now, along with moderate to severe hyperacusis and EXTREMELY reactive tinnitus to noise, medication, and exercise. Two months ago I took 2...

I have it too in my right ear. It’ll get louder if I tap on the affected ear.

Will this device work for people who have mild/moderate low frequency hearing loss? I have a hissing/ringing that is caused by noise damage but I also have a very low pitch droning/humming that I think is caused by low frequency loss. At the moment, it bothers me much more than the high pitch noise.

I had acoustic incident in April - 4 weeks later I woke up with the low humming tinnitus that you describe in my right ear. First 3 weeks were dreadful. After a while I started noticing how this beast behaves and indeed: it stops when people were talking to me, took a long car ride to hospital...

In terms of coming and going, yes. The bizarre thing is that I only noticed it post-stapedotomy. It could have been there pre-stapedotomy too, just covered by the pre-op tinnitus (it used to cover a wider range of frequencies) and thus, not as noticeable. Now, there aren't that many tests that...

@Aaron44126 : i am so glad to hear, mine is very low humming. Im hoping it will fade away soon. Keep me updated.

"The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming" "It seems to be possible for hearers to move away from it, with one hearer of the Taos Hum reporting its range was 48 km" @Siskiy Interesting but probably not...

I have has tinnitus now for nearly a year. It started out of the blue one morning (no load noises or anything) in my right ear. Doctors all said it was infection, usuall round of antibiotics with no change. I eventually saw an ENT doctor who did steriod injections in the ear drum. It got...

Interesting. The low hum is very loud and disturbing to me. It engulfs my whole head like if I'm inside a wind tunnel and I can hear it all day not just at bed time. :(

@Frayact, sorry to hear that the humming is bothering you so much. That’s good it goes away for years at a time and let’s hope it does again soon. Ya, it’s the feeling aspects that make my tinnitus so bad. If the high frequency stuff was just sounds and not physical feelings, too, I’d be okay...

I have this noise too, and I’m a mum. Actually I have two low humming sounds together with my high pitch noises. It’s making me worried. I just hope they will go away :(

@Aaron44126 : hello aaron did your T go away? Mine is just a low humming sound on my right ear from clogged ear 4 weeks ago.

After a long car ride or flight I notice my low frequency humming is sometimes suppressed for a day or two - do you think that means damage is being done / tinnitus will be made worse? I've been wondering that for a while now - I need to drive and fly for work so I've started wearing earplugs...

I had the same problem with my computer fans spiking my humming tinnitus (as it is connected with my high frequency tinnitus/hearing loss). I bought an M1 MacBook. Problem solved. No more fans. And I play games on it, I connect a huge monitor to it, watch 4K videos on it, and the fans never...

So I noticed my pulsating humming in my ear goes away for a bit when I apply heat to the painful area of my jaw.....when the heat is not applied anymore the sound comes back....why why why???? Why or how is the sound going away from this?? I sound i hear is a very very low tone, humming sound...

Tinnitus is unpredictable. It can improve, worsen, change pitch, etc. For some people even what they eat, the exercise they do, etc can have an impact on tinnitus.

Welcome to the forum. I understand what you are experiencing as I have quite similar tinnitus, a high pitched one and a low humming rumbling one like from a jet engine. I have my high pitched one probably from stress or from loud noise exposure (trying to fix a faulty smoke alarm without wearing...
