I've had the low humming in my right ear for 3 months now. It is annoying like a ships engine in the head. Had a spinal and head MRI. Nothing spotted but something is causing this. We just have to live with it unfortunately until such time as it goes away or we die. It is completely out of our...

Many people (with low hum tinnitus) have this effect of LONG residual inhibition. I even emailed about this effect to one of the people that researched residual inhibition with tinnitus sufferers but he said he found it very peculiar that my inhibition could last for a couple hours (after being...

I read that low ringing (this is not normal high ringing or normal humming that I know some people have!)can be caused by tight muscles or something?? I noticed also that my left hand has been numb for a little while nowadays, it started like four days ago? I'm not sure if those have anything...

hi all, I will try to introduce myself but English is not my first language so I hope my writing makes sense :-). My name is Ann, 40 years old and mother of 2. Last januari I was very ill, got pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital for 5 days on iv antibiotics. During that time I also had a...

So happy you started this thread Nills as I experience this also,its weird but first thing in the morning its the usual hissing sound but the more noise im around it always morphs into an electrical current sound.It could be a hissing sound and a bit of a humming sound but the second im near...

Karl, that sounds wonderful. there is hope. we can't give up hope. i wish that low humming at night would stop for me though. but it sounds good for you. i just emailed the Dichonics facility in Amarillo and they said that they are thinking about training people nationwide but don't...

Hi @aikok. Your post is reminiscent of someone I, and other members helped back in 2016, when he developed severe tinnitus and hyperacusis due to exposure to loud noise from a fire alarm. At the end of this post, please click on the link and read: From Darkness Into Light. It is @Jason C's...

Keep us updated! I'll most likely make a trip sometime this coming November or February next year.

I do and some of us here do to, there are threads for low frequency tinnitus or low hum tinnitus or drone noise tinnitus. Mine is intermittent in a sense that I have it for a period of time during what I also have half days/days off then it goes into remission. The "active" periods are...

Sorry to hear. I have the same hum, as I mentioned above. I have been thinking about trying a medication to get rid of it, I wonder if I should try Effexor. I think I can habituate to the tinnitus and my hyperacusis is improving, but the humming is impossible to ignore most of the time.

...left ear is the worst. It also makes valsalva by itself multiple times a day when I belch or something. My right ear recently developed a low humming sound, which is really annoying too. I’m worried that this will increase my tinnitus and destroy things further in my ears. Anyone else with...

I see, hope it will get better with time for you! :) If there is anything that can mask it that would do me wonders in the day, do any of you use hearing aid maskers to mask over the humming? Regarding sleep, the other night I was able to sleep with no sound enrichment but last night the...

After 1-2 weeks of 200 mg of Tegretol or 300 mg of Trileptal I noticed the effect. The low humming was nearly gone unless I "awake" it by car ride, pressing the bad ear, expose to vibrations etc... When I stopped taking the drugs, it returned. Now I am trying Ambroxol as experimented by some...

Mine is similar to this. It sounds like a car idling in my head. I can actually feel it. But only in silence, like when trying to sleep, of course.

Yeah - being talked to and shaking my head in a "no" manner stops my hum. Having a very low volume ventilation on during the day keeps my hum completely away. At night I keep a laptop on with VERY low volume humming noise and it keeps my hum away. Last time I heard my hum being REALLY loud was...

Forever Hopeful, As someone who has had tinnitus since 1996, I can tell you that it doesn't always get worse as you age. I'm 61, and my hearing is "perfectly normal" (according to my ENT) for someone my age. I started hearing a high-pitched hissing 26 years ago this month for reasons that were...

I have noticd the same! A low hum, like an engine or two in the far distance, sometimes humming with interference, at night when everything is quiet. And it stops when I put my fingers in my ears for a couple of seconds. Then it starts again after a few seconds.

Dear members - I wonder if I could ask if anyone had the same experience. I started to have humming tinnitus that I notice in September this year. That first time it was in one ear and pulsatile and disappeared in a few hours after I had some Ibuprofen, it was just as I felt I was getting a...

...TTTS. I don't know if the symptoms are similar to yours but perhaps you can search the forum and there will be more advice on those threads. My heart goes out to you. It's awful. I too have something odd (low humming bass tones day and night) that also hurt my eardrum. Klonopin helps me at...

Well said, loudness is all that matters. "Child's play" that I've suffered for nearly 7 years will very soon be the end of me. So unless you've experienced severe low frequency please don't jump into making dismisive conclusions like that.

I guess this could be true. I am a little skeptical that the solution is so easy but it’s possible. The TMJ could impact the Eustachian tubes and that one cause but in reality it much more complicated than this. My low drone had gone away and now it’s back along with hyperacusis after a chiro...

Yes I am still suffering from it, but I'm a minority: most people don't have a severe version of it. You will probably be fine whether it completely disappears (which is likely) or if it stays but slowly fades out of your consciousness.

Hi Rob, I have this same hum. Unfortunately, it started low like you describe yours...but two years after it got much louder and now I can hear it everywhere. Masking is possible when air conditioning is on, near fridge, when in the car, when airplanes go by, with fan on and such. Below is a...

No real side effects that I have noticed. I think I have more energy when I take it. Things were really quiet for a while but I got my first shot of Pfizer on Friday and don’t know if it was that or a new medication I started that has ramped up the noise a bit. Without a doubt though the last...

I also have low frequency humming sound (like a motor) in my head, and it disappears when I make a humming sound with my own voice. The humming in my head re-appears about half a second or a second after I stop making sound with my voice. My tinnitus (humming sound) is probably a side-effect of...

With heat, massage, and most importantly the mouth guard, I’d say within a week to ten days it was completely gone. Have not heard it since. And I had it bad. I am so grateful this fixed it.

Like I said, most everybody disagrees. And most everybody is stunned to find out that they are wrong. So let's talk about it after you have actually done the experiment. stephen nagler

I've posted my story in other threads, but this thread is specific to our common enemy. In April 1996, I started hearing a high-pitched hissing in my head. After countless medical and hearing tests and MRIs, no cause or abnormalities were found, and I had no hearing loss. Eventually, I...

One of the few books by Rousseau that I have not read, so I did not know this. Thanks.

Day 19 of ringing, first week High pitch ringing cried every night, couldn't sleep. Last week I can sleep and it's now several different tones, low pitch ringing on and off and like a humming/ chainsaw/ static. Every now and then ( knock on wood) my right ear will ring sometimes high sometimes...

...my neck. I felt a stabbing pain from my neck straight up to my head. Two days later I had terrible neck pain, the worst headaches I've ever had, and the low humming became really loud. I did physical therapy for about 3 months. I got better about 6 months later. Hope you feel better soon. Once

It's natural to pay attention to these things if you already pay a lot of attention to your ears and their health because of tinnitus or hyperacusis. After developing a new terrifying humming sound, I am now hyper aware of other low bass freq sounds that were always there but that I had no...

It's so strange that more and more people talk about this weird tinnitus. I had it in 2016, 2017, 2019, each time around 1-3 weeks. Low, buzzing, humming, idle motor like sound, only in my left ear, awfully low in frequency, but awfully loud in volume. And it felt like that it was actually...

Yep, you can. My T changes almost everyday. Sometimes one sound at higher frequency, sometimes many across multiple frequencies from low to high. Usually acoustic incidences cause a temporary hum or whoosh over the top which almost feels like a physical sensation as opposed to just sound - like...

@Jerad, thinking in agreement from your introduction post, including residual inhibition, that your problem is ear related. This is what I found from more study research. Downward deflection from using an inversion table could cause the elastic basilar membrane to move down and also increase...

A loud very low frequency humming, some mid frequency noise and then a loud classic high pitch eeee tone. That is what I can distinguish. Anyhow this is off-topic.

For some reason I didn't read this post. I certainly have forward head posture, static hissing and sporadically clogged ears. Also - I work on a MacBook 8 hours per day. I should probably connect an external screen so I look a bit "higher" than just down at my MacBook the whole time. Usual...

I've had a loud, low-pitched hum since 1996 that I can feel. It's mainly in my right ear, but I can also feel the humming sensation going down my throat. On most days, the humming will envelop my entire head. It's a living hell. I've been to a ton of doctors and had every medical test in the...

@glennr Glenn I had a low hum that seem to vibrate the side of my head too and I went to my Doc he gave me prednizone and in 3 days it was gone Hang in there

I've read some older threads here, but it seems to me that the answers were all very different. I thought, let's give it another try in 2021. So I'm 21 years old, and thanks to homeopathy I "manage" my tinnitus quite well (I do have spikes sometimes, but on an everyday basis I hear a...

For me, the low frequency noise has been the noise hardest to get used to because the moment you think it's less noticeable the neighbour's subwoofer sets it off once again, or one of those horribly oversized agricultural machines drives by, as, unfortunately, they do here like 50 times a day at...

I've had a low-pitched buzzing/humming in my head since 1996, although it has been known to go away for periods of up to three years. I've been on the antidepressant Escitalopram (generic Lexapro) for 15 years which I stared taking for depression, anxiety, and OCD. The buzzing in my head stayed...

Please let us know which antidepressant you switch to. I would highly advise against Celexa. If you're going to take an SSRI, Sertraline has been the one better tolerated for tinnitus from what I've read. I'm on a low dose of Nortriptyline (10 mg) but that has not helped the head buzzing...

No parties? That's worse than T ;) Seriously, glad you are having a low T day. I woke up to 3/10 and about a 2 or so now....a livable level. Be well Sam.

Hi Shasta, I don't really hear it much when outside or in a car. I haven't put an earplug in as don't want to make anything worse. External noise does seem to mask it.

Hi Makrohn I’m constantly on this forum looking for support . My right ear has a sort of hurst girdy(it’s a fair ground) which I’ve had for a long time. It’s now joined by a low screech, tinkling and a hum. The other ear has now joined in with humming, a low wind blowing noise and the tinkling...

@Greg Sacramento, do you think my issue sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, given the symptoms: for instance, when an airplane flies over my house or I’m around some other low frequency sound, even the refrigerator, it completely seems to suppress the “tinnitus noises” — it doesn’t seem to be...

T for almost 2 years and it did get well but now i hate my live. Have a new sound, a low humming sound en it is al over my head and nothing can cover it up. Dont now what to do. I have a nasty cold and i pray that when my cold gets better the sound settle down. And on top of that i have a...

Nothing particularly stressful happened the day it returned. In fact, I had gone to the gym, had a good workout, came home, and ate a healthy dinner. Just another boring day. It was a few hours later that I started hearing the hum again. At first it was faint, but then it got louder. It's been...

...is going by the ear? I have had regular tinnitus tones on and off for years, but they were never 24/7 without a break and they were never low humming bass tones. If someone has a story similar and has any advice on dealing with the fast irregular, deep scary tones, please let me know and thanks.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Influential eighteenth century political philosopher. From "Confessions" (1780) "...a great noise started up in my ears, a noise that was triple or rather quadruple, compounded of a low and muffled humming, a softer murmuring as though of running water, a piercing...

About 5 different sounds. A constant low hiss which seems to be at the back of my head and somtimes sounds like it shifts from ear to ear now and again. A sound like a pc humming. A sound like a low ratteling which is similer to listening into a sea shell. A low buzzing like a bug is flying...

Yeah, basically it can be immediately inhibited by certain level of low sound, it requires different amount depending on how strong it is that day. You may not notice it on holiday at all for example due to outside sound or hotel A/C. Or people who live in NY definitely wouldn't even know if...

After the noise trauma I’ve got really sensitive to noise. I was at my worst when this audiogram was made, back in July 2019. I was literally house bound at that time. Even if my audiogram looks good I have multiple tinnitus sounds. When I was at my worst I had 10 different tones, high...

If you live in a nation with socialized medicine and you must wait a year for a simple hearing test, then that is a warning to Americans. Here you may have to pay for it, but you can schedule a hearing test for the same day with an audiologist. Wait a year? OMG. I have the humming all the...

@DaveO High-pitched tinnitus is "easy" to diagnose because it's almost invariably tied, to some extent, to high frequency hearing loss -- which typically occurs before low-frequency loss. However, low-frequency "humming" T can certainly be a symptom of low frequency loss (I think this is what...

So sorry to hear this. Maybe is TTTs??? Myself and others in the group have this form of t. Can you mask it?? I hope and pray it goes away for you.

Do you feel any increase in heart rate or dizziness by taking the Tru Niagen? What side effects do you feel from it, if any? This sounds really interesting. I'm still waiting for my new Ayurvedic meds to show up. Hopefully they will in the next few days. I'm very interested to hear about...

Gfturner, I have the same thing! I have what started as a low humming that changes to a sound like a lawnmower and then sometimes like multiple car alarms or someone playing random notes on an organ. I haven't read nearly anything about tones like these, it seems like most people have a steady...
