I have no idea what caused the relapse. It's happened before; I'll go several years without any sign of the humming noise, and then it will show up from out of the blue. Like you, I also feel my low tinnitus. It's like a vibration or fluttering somewhere in my head and ears. My high-pitched...

@Greg Sacramento Just want to say I really appreciate your wealth of knowledge shared on the forum 2 months ago I had TTTS spasms in my left ear constantly, not anymore. During this time I heard a LOUD humming sound at one time, that slowly went away during 4 hours. Idling truck, low pitched...

I also have had a low frequency hum for 2 years now. It sounds exactly like there´s a faint sound of a car engine somewhere outside near my house. The sound stops when I shake my head, and returns in a second when I stop. The hum also goes away or the volume goes down to minimum after a night...

...after a fight with my mom. After that I slept very little for 2 days. The second day I thought I heard something new. It's like a very low humming sound but it could very well be something in the room. But I hear it in a lot of rooms and it makes me focus on my hearing a lot again. I am...

How is your low frequency humming doing now @Bill_ ? I've had that issue in the past and have also experienced the weird sensation of having the "hum sound" disappear when I plug my ears. I've found that for myself, my low frequency hum usually kicks up when I have TMJ/TTTS/jaw stiffness, or...

Hey was your fleeting tinnitus lower in frequency? I’ve never had low fleeting around 800 Hz-1 kHz until this last year in which I developed the hum.

Hey Sorry to hear! I think it’s safe to say it will disappear again and it’s great that it has so many times. So it’s always been both ears from day 1 for you?

Oh wow, exact same here as Keylime. It's this annoying low hum, about 50-60Hz, right ear only. When it's bad, it's constant, but most of the time it seems to come in and out, unrelated to pulse. It sounds like a slow vroom vroom vroom, modulated about 1-2Hz. I've had it about 2 weeks now. I saw...

Your tinnitus sound rather complex, Ben. I do hope that hearing aids will seal the deal for you. Please let us know what your audiologist has to say about it (y)

Wow, interesting story. So it used to be a lot louder and now is mostly non-existent? A lot of people with the hum got it after an acoustic trauma or lots of loud sounds which led me to believe it was some uncommon form of damage, whether that be to the nerve of Tensor Tympani muscle or outer...

Reading through this thread again. It’s insane how specific some of these symptoms are, like it stopping and starting rapidly when talking or when other sounds of moderate level are heard. Exactly like mine to an eerie degree. Mine came in these insanely loud attacks though, like someone pushed...

Greetings all! So to start with I have no idea how my tinnitus started. No hearing loss and healthy. From my years with tinnitus which started as a barely noticeable ringing sound in my right ear I now have: -High, low and mid ranged tones, buzzing and ringing in both ears -pulsatile “ufo”...

I am having SSHL and the deaf ear emits a low humming rumbling tinnitus. In SSHL support forum, many people mentioned getting a cochlear implant has greatly lowered their tinnitus. If it gets to that life and death decision, you may research on this more to see if it will help. If my deaf left...

Hey guys, I normally don't do this kind of thing but I just recently stumbled upon some relief and feel the need to post this. My symptoms were a low pitch humming fog horn sound and then on top of that I had thumping clicking tapping fluttering and drumming in my right ear only. Well, I...

I started hearing a typical high-pitched hissing in my head back in 1996. A few months later, a low-frequency hum was added to the mix. I eventually habituated to the higher frequency, but the humming completely changed my life for the worst. I could only sleep a few hours a night as it sounded...

Hey @Juha, I would describe mine exactly the way you have described yours. 100%. Welcome! In terms of inhibition mine fluctuates but almost always after I go out to bars(with ear plugs) or drive for hours it is inhibited for a few days. Yours might react that way if you experience longer bass...

Welcome to the forum. You have my empathy as new tinnitus is often a shock and struggle. I may not have the same causes of tinnitus as you but I do have a low roaring humming tinnitus on my deaf left ear and a high pitch scream on the right. It is like I have a duet of a bass and a tenor 7/24...

I am new the site and seeking some ideas to help me understand what I am dealing with. For about four months, many weekday afternoons at work, low-frequency tinnitus kicks in. Sometimes, it follows a morning of hyperacusis at meetings, but other days it just starts happening. I have two main...

Hello, I am happy to find Tinnitus Talk. I have been suffering from pain, ringing and low humming sounds in both ears since a Caloric air test on Sept 18, 2019. I have been suffering daily and can not sleep. I have tried acupuncture but stopped because it was so expensive. I have tried a...

After dealing with this for over 20 years, I've had many ups and downs with regard to the noise as well as the depression. I can go for up to a year without any roaring in my ears at all. That's when I (obviously) feel alive and hopeful. But when it returns, like it did a week ago, I begin...

I know how difficult and limited your life is, I know exactly what you are going through. But it's not the end. I have/had catastrophic >60 dB multiple tones, reactive, permanently spiking from <40 dB (now it's only from significant noise events or artificial noise - avoid this like the plague)...

Was your tinnitus pulsatile or was it more of a high pitch or low humming type sound?

OK, that outdoes me. :) At least mine's not reactive. On the other hand, I used to get a low-pitched humming sound in both ears when I shook my head vigorously. That's disappeared since I started taking NR.

Near perfect hearing on those simple audiograms, yes (not a single frequency goes below 20 dB) - I guess my drone is lower than 125 Hz (that's the lowest they are testing here on audiograms), -20 dB in left ear at 125 Hz - still my drone is in the right ear, -20 dB in both ears at 4000 Hz too...

My regular drone sits at 80 Hz. On some days it drops lower for a few seconds and then it suddenly sits around 65 Hz. In the mornings it is a bit higher and is more in the head than in the ear. The byproduct theory is based on a couple things: 1) All the specialists I saw said it was in fact...

Hi everyone, My name is Ray and I'm 27 years old. I've been reading posts in this community and I'm encouraged by how supportive everyone is and sharing in each other's joys and pains. I developed tinnitus which sounds like a really low-pitch hum sound in my right ear 4 days ago. Background...

Hello My name is Lauren and my tinnitus started at the end of March. I am almost certain it was caused by Lexapro. I was on Lexapro for about 5 weeks and stop immediately since the on set of tinnitus. My tinnitus started off as blaring car horn in my left ear but has faded quite a bit since...

...What I don't get, and don't know how to categorize, is when reactivity happens nowhere near the actual pitch of the sound. Any low humming in the real world agitates my ultra-high hissing/squealing. I don't think it's mechanical (eardrum/middle ear) because the hissing is all over the...

Same symptoms here. Pressure/pain/fullness + ringing + low level hum/vibration + fluttering with sound.

Anyone have this following trend on your T? Wake up with low tolerable T which can easily be ignored and drive to office. When reach office and sit in front of computer, T gradually increase. I am doing a desk bound job using laptop with external monitor. The increase is very gradual My...

Possible barotrauma from giving a birth?

I have low frequency T. Mine always has the humming and DEFINITELY the vibrating. It used to just be the back of my head neck but at night and with little sleep or when Im really tired it vibrates throughout my whole body. Feels like everything is shaking internally. Steroids worked in the very...

Yes I posted about hearing a droning sound recently. Oddly enough a couple of other people in my neighborhood said they had started hearing it aswell. I wondered if it was external or not as blocking my ears stopped it. Still don't know but it's not so bad now or I'm just better at ignoring it...

You are pretty much identical to me :( Mines 7 years high pitch, then the humming appeared later, its getting progressively worse, then the frequent pain and pressure started, slow hearing loss. I suspect hydrops too, gave up with going to the doctors. They can never find anything wrong...

OMG!! This is literally making me go insane....Like I can't live with it anymore....Its so loud and vibrating my whole head and ear canal....Something is terribly wrong...7 months of this.....Loud Low pulsating humming (Sounds like a semi engine in my ear)....Had an MRI but they can't see a...

I think its becauae the speaker on your tablet will be closer to you so the sound waves have more power when reaching your ear, where as with a tv you are generall further away from it so the sound waves lose power. The same thing happens to me, sometimes i will have some purple noise playing...

I can also stop my hum temporarily by shaking the head in a "no" pattern. I got my hum (and elevated "broken up tone" tinnitus that hasn't bothered me since my since teenage years – will turn 43 this year) in conjunction with drinking six beers one night in December last year. Never never heard...

My tinnitus is raging in both ears it's a very high pitch hiss along with a loud low humming noise. It's greatly impacting on my mood and been off work 2 weeks. Went back work this week 3 days but can not cope and doctor put me on the club 4 more weeks. Think I have hyperacusis as sounds just...

@Jamie The humming that you describe matches exactly what happened to me after using a jigsaw for about 10 seconds to cut a small piece of wood. It wasn't particularly loud and I believe it was the vibration rather than the noise that had an effect. For around 4 months afterwards I couldn't put...

...and recently (less than a month later) I've also developed some sort of either distortion or a new reactive tone that takes the form of a low humming when certain other sounds are present, such as fridge noise or a car engine. I'm not sure if mine has been caused by ototoxicity, infection or...

...I first heard the tinnitus before or after this. However, yesterday I developed a second noise which is bothering me a lot more. It is a low humming sound which only seems to be heard along with other sounds, such as the noise of the fridge and other background noises. I'm kind of hoping...

I too have a deep low humming noise that I hear constantly when in my home. I would swear it is not me, or low frequency tinnitus, but an outside source. I don't seem to hear it anywhere else. I have been for standard hearing tests and told my hearing is perfect in left and just less than...

@Rachiejo That's great that you haven't been avoiding things, something I did wrong when I first got T, wish I could go back & tell myself to deal with it calmly, that said, if I could go back at all I wouldn't have listened to my music so loud! :p Not 100% sure if that's the reason but it's a...

@Kimberley8 Read your postings. Your tone is key. Doubtful that your C spine is placing pressure to your vertebral artery causing this sound, but this is is on a short list of possibilities. Possible that sound is pre development of pulsatile tinnitus caused from hypertension as...

Yesterday and last night were hell. T was loud, humming, and ringing all day and night. Today was surprisingly good. I didn't hear much go the high pitched ring. Only a low hum much of the day. And I times it was not noticeable. I'm not sure why this is, but I tend to hear more of the hum...

Blood pressure change of the carotid artery - pre hypertension moments that usually only last a few minutes. Constant worry and anxiety about loud noises can also cause the tensor tympani muscle to become overly active. This is supported in almost all newer studies...

It'll be very personal. For me, masking was more running away than facing and start dealing / getting used to my new reality... If I allowed my hum for a longer time, I got less scared of it (still scared, 160 blood pressure, still to this day) as opposed to masking and hearing it occasionally...

Wow. That's great. I think I may have something very similar. I developed what I thought was a low frequency T. Started last July. It's like a humming noise. However, I developed like a tone noise too more recently. The steroids used to knock out this humming. It would go away for like 3 three...

My tinnitus started back in 2017 after months of clearing my ears with water and listening to loud music. It sounded like a car driving past in the distance, like a buzzing, humming sound, but it went away after a while. Since then I have had many forms of tinnitus, beeping, high pitched...

If I may ask, that low tone, when did you gain it? My T has changed a bit lately. I lost some sounds (a ring that went from left to right and a loud car hissing for example) but I gained a low tone. It's not there the entire day but it comes and goes during the day and it cycles between a...

Well i would just say any medium pitch tinnitus (not the super high pitch 15Khz+T) that can easily be heard outdoors over traffic, I would say starts at around 25dB. 60dB tinnitus would be an extremely loud tinnitus- like you would have difficulty hearing conversation (not sure if that even...

Hello, I’ve been reading that circa 15% of the population has tinnitus. That got me wondering where were they hiding... And here I finally found you. So glad to meet you all. I first noticed my tinnitus nearly a year ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with this really low “morse code”...

From what I know about sound and tinnitus, and as you mentioned, one reason why you're hearing that is some kind of vascular condition you've acquired, maybe from a change in diet or something else. Otherwise, I have a theory on the low rumbling part myself; low frequency noise exposure. My...

Anything docs can't explain is caused by stress.:) Try to follow the diagnosis flowchart. It may lead you somewhere. Did you do a hearing test? Do you have an audiogram?

Hi all. I would be going to a doctor to get this properly checked, but since I'm not in a really great living environment (won't go into detail so don't ask) plus because of what's going on in the world right now... I figured it'd be best to ask on this forum. (I don't live in the US or UK, but...

3.5 months in... So I am forcing myself to post something here because, despite improvements, I am still feeling despair a lot of times about this condition. I also noticed a lack of auditory input actually seems to make my tinnitus louder throughout the day. I work in a quiet office and I...

I have something quite similar. A low frequency tone that sounds like a mix of an idling motor/foghorn/washing machine. Mine is only in my left ear and it's on/off. Can you make it stop by covering your ear with your hand, plugging it with your finger, swallowing, talking, yawning? I have had...

Hi... I feel what you are going through... but as hard as it is to believe... you will learn to live with it. You won't feel this way forever. Yes it will be annoying and some days will be worse than others... but that feeling of dred and anxiety will go away.. I've just started with a humming...
