    Can Drugs or Supplements Help Sound Distortions/Dysacusis?

    Yeah, I feel you. At this point I had to try something especially after more trauma to my ears. I took 50 mg of the Prednisone yesterday. It was rough but I got through it, then I started catching a cold so now I’m sick while on Prednisone! My luck right. But I was trying to sleep last night and...

    What Does Your Tinnitus Sound Like?

    I've had a high-pitched hissing in both ears since April 1996. I'm able to ignore it most of the time. In July 1996, I started hearing a loud, low-pitched hum which is also a physical sensation, like a fluttering or vibration. This sound has caused me major depression, anxiety, and even...

    Tinnitus? I Thought It Was Neighbour's Sump Pump?

    ...intermittent and no one else could hear it. I had heard of tinnitus of course, but associated that with ringing or buzzing not this very low humming noise. I scoured the house for the source of the noise, maybe some electrical equipment malfunctioning, maybe the furnace motor needing...

    Tinnitus Spike After Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Jab

    I turn 60 this year, myself. I have three weddings to attend (including my own) and all I can think about is tinnitus. I had two Pfizer jabs in February and March with no issues. I had a Moderna booster in November, the same time I was testing Paxil for my panic disorder. Three days after the...

    Habituation to Low Frequency Drone

    I've had a low-frequency hum, off and on, for over 20 years. I've never habituated to it. When it first started, I had numerous tests done including three MRI's over the years. No cause was ever found, and I had no hearing loss. My hearing is still great for my age (56). Sometimes the humming...

    Tinnitus and Hyperacusis or Brain Related?

    Hello everyone, I'm a male late 30s and I live in Denmark. I've been having serious problems with what I perceive as tinnitus and hyperacusis since January 2019. I've been sensitive somewhat to sound for 4 years, following a concussion. I've slept with ear plugs since then, since even the...

    I Think Earplugs Are to Blame

    I went to a concert last Monday, the 16th, and another one on Tuesday, the 17th. But I didn't notice anything until Saturday, the 21st. The first show was pretty loud, Parquet Courts was the band. The second show wasn't very loud at all, Snarky Puppy was the band. I did some more reading...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Your symptoms and experiences are almost identical to mine. (I go into more detail in my post above). I just got home from work, and I can barely hear the humming. But as the night progresses, it will get louder and louder with or without noise exposure. Last night it wasn't that loud when I...

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

    Option#1: it's called cochlear hydrops, it should stay a low humming unless it gets worse and you developed vertigo, at that point you have what's called minieres. You can get tested for hydrops at an otologist, only an otologist not an ENT. Option#2: if the sound is like a typewriter in you...

    FlyFish. I'm sorry for what you're experiencing. I feel like it's very similar to mine. My T began on Dec 4.

    Tinnitus... Confused

    ...why this would be happening as usually it would be the other way around. I can say that at the very start of my tinnitus journey, I had a low humming noise that lasted about a week and it would stop and start. I did notice that when I wore ear muffs in the hearing test, the sound was gone. I...

    Roaring Traffic in My Left Ear

    Hi. Ear started acting weird December 2013. Has been a diva all of 2014. Now being an abusive ****. I have lower frequency hearing loss, with a low to medium pitch loud humming. Occasionally sounds (and feels) like a hurricane is blowing into it. Also, sometimes, all sounds go...

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    Heya! Just jumping on this! I have lots of ear issues including this hum/revving drone too. It's so strange because it behaves very differently to my other tinnitus sounds. Example, if I hum, or sit in the car, the hum will dissappear but the other noises remain, and it is more of a feeling...

    Electrical Head Buzzing Tinnitus — What Has Helped YOU?

    I am so sorry to hear that your head noise has returned. I am experiencing a relapse since October last year, with what I think may be more intrusive head noise (like a far away gas leak/hissing). At times, it sounds electrical and it really bothers me a lot. It followed a year of a LOT of...

    Is It Tinnitus? Low Hum — I'm Very Worried

    I have the evil hum/drone...since 2014. 24/7, none stop... loud. If I cover my ears with my hands it stops. If I have other low humming appliances running in the background it stops....I hear it indoors and outdoors equally. So, you think that cutting the tensor tympani may stop the humming?

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

    I don’t do anything, so I guess I’ve habituated and often can be masked by background sounds. It’s not always the same intensity either and sometimes it goes away when the muscle(s) eventually relax. It’s quite independent from my normal T. Today it’s a low constant hum, not pulsatile. Not...

    Diagnosis: Hydrops or Early Meniere's

    @Canyonmom It is indeed very interesting about the plug stopping your tinnitus. My tinnitus started off as a low hum that was on and off for a week then stopped. I noticed when I had a hearing test that week, when I put on the headphones at the audiologist, the tinnitus stopped! I went home and...

    After 6 Years of Coping with Tinnitus, I Developed a Low-Pitched Humming — Caused by Stress?

    Thanks for your responses - really appreciate it. I was at breaking point last night and eventually fell asleep exhausted with it. The house move wasn’t that bad. I moved 8 months ago to a lovely little house and I have been enjoying doing up the garden. I have been fairly relaxed and not...

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

    I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering. I hope it improves for you soon. I have a hum in my left ear that vibrates pretty bad at times. Sometimes it’s mild. It’s maskable by a lot of sounds. I’m okay with it because it’s just annoying—not really painful. My high frequency tinnitus is ugly, though...

    Low-Pitched Humming = Meniere's?

    Here's a post I put in another thread last week. My doctor has put me on a new antidepressant (Prestiq) and is referring me to an ENT I saw a few years ago. Before this most recent relapse, I thought I would never have to talk about this awful topic again. I've had a low-pitched buzzing/humming...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    OK, thanks. Bloody hydrops is a new thing to me. Will try to look into it. I didn't really find any direct correlation between good or drink and a hum volume increase. Maybe coffee, but not sure. I did try to drink a lot of water and eat healthy. The hum did vary a little in intensity from time...

    I Feel My Tinnitus Often Aligns with My Heartbeat — Possibly Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    Thanks @Greg Sacramento. Do you think a CT scan would detect something that could be causing these humming, turbulent, engine idling noises? Something that maybe a surgery could correct? Honestly I would love to find something and get it fixed because these sounds are very intrusive. Is...

    Helped by a Hearing Aid

    ...one specifically for tinnitus and have your tried other brands before Starkey? Also, is your tinnitus the type with very high pitch, or with a low humming? My audiologist said I have hearing loss in the high frequency, thus my T is ultra high pitch like a dentist drill with 10 times the pitch.

    Tinnitus or Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?

    ...not there is tinnitus. Now, could it be caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction? Yes, maybe. I'm sort of in the same boat. I developed a low humming sound during an upper respitory infection. Like your tinnitus, sometimes it "pulses" (but not with my heartbeat), but mostly it's consistent...

    Does Using a Mobile Phone Affect Your Tinnitus?

    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    Low Bass-Like Hum, As If Something Was Vibrating Inside My Ear: Is This Tinnitus or Something Worse?

    Thank you, Billie. I think if it stays constant (Went into kind of a remission again a couple of days ago, fingers crossed it's gonna stay this way for a while at least), I'll consider severing the muscles first, then anything available. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with SSHL. Are you...

    Frequency Generator App Helping Me

    Sudafed Lowers the Volume of My Tinnitus

    I also have a low-pitched hum in addition to a high-pitched hissing noise. I habituated to the hissing over 20 years ago, but the hum has never been welcome. It's put me through bouts of depression I can't even begin to describe. I've been on Lexapro for 15 years, and that seems to have helped...

    Vibrating Hum in Apt
