    Post Tympanometry — Low Humming Sound

    1. Who knows! 2. Not my case. 3. I'm not sure. But when my low drone/humming started I had a bout of allergies. Now after 4 years the low humming is still here AND that's after taking allergy shots for 2 years. 4. Yes, exactly the same. I hope it goes away for you and me both. The...

    May not be the same what you have but I've had drone/engine noise for 5 years now, started with cold. Hissing for me started few years ago as a new sound in my "until then" healthy ear, thanks to Zoloft! T must have been created in hell!

    People with Dysacusis, Distortions or Loudness Hyperacusis — Describe Your Symptoms!

    Hello @Matchbox. First of all I find interesting the physical aspect you describe, such as the intensification of symptoms after working out. I do get that as well, therefore I stopped working out. The wine humming started 7 days ago. However, I have dealt with distortions for more than 2.5-3...

    ...I've got noise induced hearing loss from working and playing piano in noisy environments. My tinnitus is frankly insane with tones from low humming below 100 Hz to hissing at 10 kHz with stuff inbetween. When my tinnitus first started I immediately stopped doing noisy stuff and it was only...

    The Hum

    Hi I hear a low humming when my house is quiet which I thought was an electric motor noise from neighbours. I use an Android frequency generator app and a Bose speaker to generate a background noise of about 52-56 hertz at a low level which I find masks the tinnitus. I also have an app which...

    Poll: Which Is Worse — High-Pitched Tones or Low Humming Tones

    I have both a high-pitched hissing and a low-frequency hum. I habituated to the hissing 25 years ago, but the humming still makes me miserable.

    Hi want to introduce myself, have low humming

    Hi Lana. Yes I get a low humming as well. My main tinnitus started a couple of months ago and it's a loud high pitched whistle. Over the last few weeks though I've started to get a low hum on and off. It's a bit like having a beehive in my head. Unlike my other sound, I only really notice the...

    Humming Tinnitus and Pregnant

    @Mumtobe I had a low humming noise exactly one month after my twins were born. Fortunately, it went on and off for a week, and it hasn't been back since. Unfortunately, it was replaced by a higher pitched sound that has taken up residence in my head. I think this humming was more mechanical -...

    Low-Pitched Tinnitus from Olanzapine (Zyprexa) — Plus Vibrating/Fluttering Feeling in Eardrum

    Yes, I commented. Well, technically i did get a high pitched tone in my right ear, but it disappears and when I can actually hear it, I ignore it because its not loud and its too thin. The low hum is bothering me. And the feeling of vibration.

    Update. Noticing patterns in tinnitus now. When I wake up the hum is very low, easy to ignore. This wasn’t always the case. The volume use to be the same regardless of the time of the day now I have different intensities. When I come back from work or a walk it sounds like an engine. Not...

    Hearing a Low Drone / Engine Noise — Did Anybody's Tinnitus Similar to Mine Get Better?

    I have a very similar sound, unilateral, left ear, very low humming/engine noise, which stops if I cover my ears, or put my finger in it. For me it does not stop if I plug my ear. Weird, isn't it? It also often feels like a physical feeling, like the left side of my head was vibrating...

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Kicked Off Again: Trying to Get Back in Control and Stay Positive!

    Good afternoon, fellow sufferers, I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis about a month after my second COVID jab (not saying it was the jab, by the way). It started as a low-pitched hum, like a car speaker playing deep bass. I searched my house and even the surrounding area, trying to find the...

    Humming Sound in Left Ear

    I've had low humming in my ears on and off for years. Except when I had sudden hearing loss and it stayed in one ear. The humming I believe is a kind of intermittent tinnitus. I thought it was sinus related but last time I had the intermittent hum I did a test of playing that frequency in my...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Inconsistent Tinnitus Volume and Tone Makes It Hard to Habituate

    No offense but low pitched tinnitus is a different beast than the more common high pitched 'eee' (I have both). There is a chance it will not settle down, like Michael Leigh above says. For me, at least, it has been fluctuating since the start and it still is (as @Joe Cuber mentioned, and this...

    In Need of Help/Advice in Relation to Low-Frequency Tinnitus

    Low frequency is not always sensorineural and can be due to middle ear muscles vibrating/being lame, like the tensor tympani. Your ear fullness indicates it could be this, because middle ear muscles can affect ear pressure as they can interfere with the correct functioning of the eustacian...

    Possible Sudden Hearing Loss

    Humming, rushing sounds, distorted hearing and hearing loss. Meniere's doesn't always start out with dizziness. I guess you would call it Hydrops at this point if there is a hearing loss, especially a low frequency one.

    I'm sorry to hear it and a bit in the same boat. I got a low humming sound 2 weeks ago and it is really unpleasant to hear. It also increases intensity randomly and nobody has answers. Do you hear the hum when you plug your ears? I can't. I hope it'll all work out for us eventually.

    Sudden Hearing Loss

    Oh man, that's awesome! Hope things continue to improve! What sort of humming did you have by the way? For most of my life I had a low/deep hum in my head, didn't bother me at all either because I was so habituated to it, it went away when I got my tinnitus though.

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    I would need an active one, but it would only need to be very low activity. Basically it would be enough if something mechanical would be moving inside the earplug, brushing lightly against my ear canal, just like my finger would. @Christiaan, I'm afraid I have to backpedal on the fact that...

    What Is Your Tinnitus?

    The last time I checked the frequency it was 15000 khz. My tinnitus just melts with that tone and I can't hear it. I also have that low humming pulsating sound which I only hear when I go to bed. It dissapeared for some time but it came back recently :eek: Hang in there my friends! :love:

    What Caused My New Low-Pitched Vibrating Hum? Should I See an ENT and Try Steroids?

I’m wondering if steroids would be helpful. Definitely not something I want to take unless absolutely necessary. I had a Tele consult with...

    Shaking Head Quickly Stops My Low-Frequency Tinnitus Hum — Is It from Anxiety?

    Shaking my head doesn't make a difference but like a lot of other people have said here, having noise constantly on in the background stops the low pitched noise completely. I only have it in my left ear. Only my right ear showed hearing loss on the audiogram but my high pitched tinnitus is...
