Very interesting post. If all was accurate you would be a world authority on tinnitus!, as it's certainly more than my ENT seemed to know. In all seriousness, I think there is some good points here, but again we don't know completely if all of this is right. It's certainly plausible. Based on...

Hmm, I wonder if it's the same, the thing is, mine is quite high pitched and intermittent, b,bbbbb,bb,bbbb,bb,bb. Doesn't seem to have any pattern. Is this what people call typewrite tinnitus? I need somebody who has this, or has had this variation to let me know. Would be very useful as...

Firstly, I probably should say that I'm one of the "lucky" ones whose tinnitus has been intermittent, pretty much from the start -- well, after the first 2 or 3 days. I'd like to give people hope, but not false hope, but anyway, these days, the frequency ("often-ness", not the pitch :D)...

I had the dentist use intermittent pulsing of the drill - one second on, one second off. that seems to have done the job. then dentist was very well aware of the issue, and so he did not subject me to any continuous drilling, which with tinnitus it has to do with both time X intensity, and you...

Hello, I'm 23 years old. About four months ago, I was unexpectedly exposed to some very loud noise for 10-15 minutes at a concert that I assumed would be much quieter than it was. The following morning, my left ear felt very "full" and I heard an intermittent ringing in both ears -- not like...

For the longest time I asked myself "why me", it was tough to accept that I'm not getting rid of the constant swishing and intermittent ringing. Years later I've come to accept it but it still bothers me especially under situations I need to perform tasks that require max concentration. Maz...

Yes, mine is somatic which I have read has variable meaning. I can modulate it with looking up and specifically to the left (full turn to the left) but interestingly not to the right. I assume this has something to do with transient occlusion/turbulence in carotid blood flow perhaps more so than...

Yes, sometimes my tinnitus is pulse and high pitch, it can alse be constant. It is not a pulsatile tinnitus, It is a tinnitus caused by hearing loss and which has a somatosensory aspect.

I have begun to notice that when I get a spike of t, there is intermittent pain deep in my ear on that side. So, for instance in March I had a few days where the t in my right ear was louder than usual, and I got moments of pain in that ear. Now I've been having a spike in the left ear for a few...

Yes, I have a bit of high frequency hearing loss (something like -30 dB @ 6-8 kHz, I do not have my last audiogram here). No hums nor beeps, my tinnitus is actually pretty damn constant, it just increases throughout the day as for many other people. I had some intermittent random chirps in one...

@Greg Sacramento Thanks, that's along the lines I was thinking too. I truly think that it was a sum of minor causes eventually leading to tinnitus, but few are actually related to loud noise. I'm currently in physical therapy to treat my neck and eventually my core stability, I'm practicing...

Today I noticed when I tap my neck below my ear it sounds exactly like a microphone booming. What does that mean is going on? Should I see a NUCCA chiro?

I'm hoping someone can give me a little insight...my above post explains a lot of my current symptoms. It's going from bad to worse... I have EXTREME fullness in both ears, a dull ache as well as intermittent sharp pains, high pitched tinnitus both continuous and pulsatile, and I now also a low...

I don't think so. I also have this crakling sound when i swallow. I've had it for years and I don't have ETD.

I've had tinnitus a long time--those long-ago concerts, don't you know? I also had an ear infection in December 2017 that caused major hearing loss in my left ear that my ENT doc now says is Meniere's disease, based on two audiograms a year apart. I'm not convinced--I don't have the vertigo and...

Wish I could tell ya. I’m just getting started with mine about five weeks ago and I’m nearly ready to throw in the towel. Mine is an intermittent 15 kHz electrical zing sound that comes with pain. It reacts to most sounds but ESPECIALLY white noise type sounds. Silence is hell. Sounds are hell...

I noticed when I took phenergan - an antihistamine - that the PT lessened or disappeared.

I should have habituated to tinnitus a long time ago but due to my depression issues, benzo tolerance, and the fact that benzos are a depressant kept me from having habituating thoughts... I have been reducing my klonopin more and more but it is a struggle because of withdrawal problems and the...

Are you talking about my initial pain symptoms 2 years ago or what I have now? How long before you noticed improvements?

Hello, Has anyone ever been told by an ENT that their tinnitus would go away? I'm going to repost my introductory post below, so you can understand my experience with tinnitus. I'm posting again because, after seeing an ENT, she told me that my hearing is actually above average, and that...

Hello, Just seen the title of this thread. It really stood out to me. I've had tinnitus for 2 and a half years. My tinnitus changed between 3-4 months. At the start, my tinnitus would come and go but sleep always made it better. I could wake up in the night and the tinnitus wouldn't be...

My vote is putting in an order for different parents but unfortunately, that requires time travel which like a cure for tinnitus hasn't been invented yet. My TTS has inexplicably subsided of late. Will probably come back but I'm riding the wave right now. Honestly, TTS doesn't bother me...

I cut out gluten for 2 months - and gave up on that - no difference. Salt I keep down as much as I can. Sugar - never tried a 0 free sugars diet - should try that to see. I usually get by on 20g a day which is not ultra low - but way lower than maybe 80g a day before my tinnitus started. I did...

It’s hard to say. It sounds like intermittent tinnitus (the main tinnitus sound as opposed to the hum of which many get on top of the hiss) and as your hearing is damaged it stands to reason everything sounds distorted in these situations. Look into your jaw as pressure and fullness with...

The answer may be both! Less salt. Less food! On the Alternative Treatments section, there's a thread about following the 5:2 diet (5 days of regular calorie intake, 2 days of partial fasting). Some people have reported good results with this...

I'm not an expert on this subject by any means, but I think I'm going through a similar situation as you with my tinnitus so I figured I'd leave my 2 cents on it: I too had a noticeable increase in tinnitus after a visit (albeit to my school's doctor not an ENT). I had my ears cleaned out via...

I use Resound tinnitus masking 'hearing aids' that both generate their own sound and allow me to transmit music or sounds from my MP3 player to them. I also use headphones at times. Stevearrison has a good set of masking sounds at...

I'm so sorry you've joined this club. Like you, my tinnitus came out of nowhere and was accompanied by muffled hearing. My hearing returned to mostly normal after a couple of weeks, but the tinnitus remained. Mine has been intermittent from the start—one loud day followed by two quiet or even...

I should qualify my response above (post #2). I stand by everything I said there. However, I was referring to a sort of long-term average, over which my tinnitus does not change much. On a more granular level, as in day-to-day, my tinnitus changes immensely: it is either on or off. Half the days...

With low pitched tinnitus and intermittent fullness, cochlear hydrops comes to mind - but that's really much more of a guess and much less of a diagnosis at this point in time. My suggestion would be for you to see a neurotologist for a thorough evaluation, which will clearly serve you far...

Thank you Joe for your answer. I am sorry you are going through this as well. I think you are right, I might have some night stressor, probably related to my neck or my jaw. The last 4 days it happened every night but it was really, really low, sometimes only lasted 10-15 minutes instead of the...

You're doing the right thing. 1. Hypertension can be a factor, but that solely usually isn't the issue. 2. The intermittent nature is normal for pulsatile tinnitus. This is how it almost always presents. 3. Don't panic. You're dong the right thing by having it investigated. The times it...

Hi all, This looks a great site to share views. I have had high pitched T since early twenty's (now 54) now have low frequency hum morse code intermittent T since 2011 following a bout of Eustacian Tube Dysfunction following the flu. It comes a go's but mostly comes! Been looking at various...

That's my distortions! Thanx for the video. I have exactly the same type of symptoms apart from my regular polyphonic tinnitus. It got worse the last two weeks whilst it seemed to subside. I also get this with music, although the morse segment of mine sounds more like intermittent whistles...

I'm starting to get used to the low-frequency buzzing and trying to learn to accept it. But it seems to be evolving in intensity day-to-day. Some days worse, some days better. Some days intermittent, some days constant. So I think my ears are still trying to settle in due to all the changes in...

@RB2014 I have had hyperacusis for nearly 2 years and it hasn't gotten better. Even on days when my tinnitus distress is reduced to near zero the hyperacusis does not calm down. I think this is the level it will stay at. My tinnitus is not reactive and does not seem to be affected by the...

I had RFA on left side C3-C4 C4-C5 C5-C6 a couple days ago. Seemed to spike my noise on left side, but am better now. I will have the same done on right side in about a week. Inconclusive so far on lessening of noise. I will check out Regenexx on C1-C3 later this month. At least I'm trying. :)...

This seems to mirror my recent experience. In my apartment block, there is a mini-horn alarm in the bedrooms and another type of alarm in the hallways, which is not as high-pitched. In November 2020, exposure to these alarms caused me to develop severe, permanent tinnitus in both ears. Last...

I've tried them and didn't find it useful for my tinnitus, but if I had more than mild/intermittent hyperacusis I would try them and probably not listen to any music during that time. To me they feel similar to in-ear headphones but since they aren't sealed, I guess they should be less harmful...

Hi, @dudeguywithstuff I'm sorry I never saw your post until now. There IS a group of us here with this intermittent chirping tinnitus. My tinnitus once disappeared for nearly a year, and it still comes and goes in a rather erratic fashion. After 3 years of this, I'm convinced that mine is...

Hi CykoJon, see my post in Introduce Yourself. My tinnitus 'sounds' like yours - low intermittent hum, for me sounds a bit like a foghorn. It took me three years to figure out that it was tinnitus because it only seemed to happen at home, which made me think it was something in my house or...

That sounds scary! For me I also thought for a nano second if my tinnitus was going wild when the insect was buzzing in there. I got confused a brief second :O Went to the doctor today and he checked my ears very carefully and gave me an all clear. No bug to be found. He also performed a...

All my tinnitus tones are intermittent or morse code-type sounds. They used to be quite reactive as well (to white noises such as a running tap or a blowing fan), but this has improved significantly, my perception tells me. While the morse code-tones themselves have not gone away, mine do tend...

Being brutally honest, as someone who has an orchestra in my left year, it's better for you to stay in computer science. If you want to become a pilot, wait a while for actual cures (with a plural) in the next 10 years (i.e. follow this forum for the next decade), and play the Flight Simulator...

Oh right... I think most people consider a spike to be a temporary increase in volume, I do. There's also a thread around here somewhere with a poll on if people have varying levels of tinnitus or a rather constant volume.

...actually your biggest problem, and is just serving as a convenient proxy? There's lots of people in the world who experience intermittent tinnitus or other unusual sensory experiences as a result of allergies, congestion or illness, who do not obsess or fixate on them. Conversely, there are...

Hi, I have experienced exactly what you have previously described. The intermittent "static/electrical" noise that comes and goes all day.. Seems to be really bad when I first wake up and progressively get a little better throughout the day. Then I go to bed it it restarts again the next...

Tinnitus can be very draining - I get it. I have had mine for over three years and am still having trouble accepting this as my new normal. I very much miss the silence and relish those few minutes once in awhile when the tinnitus is so faint that I have to focus to hear it. Night is the worst...

@JodieStephens Tinnitus comes in many forms and intensities and no two people experience it the same. It can be: mild, moderate or severe. In one ear or both, known as bilateral tinnitus. The noise can be experienced as if it's coming from the middle of the head. It can be intermittent or...

Hi everyone. I'm afraid I'm still confused about something . . . From what I've read on here . . . am I correct in understanding that Tinnitus and Pulsatile Tinnitus are two completely unrelated conditions . . . with Pulsatile Tinnitus usually having vascular origins and (regular) Tinnitus...

You were mostly tinnitus free until your recent vaccine flare up, correct? So did this hum go away? I am having a hum and exactly as you say my heartbeat makes it rev up with each beat. My other higher pitched tones I am fairly used to, but dealing with this one is really rough. Clonazepam...

That’s horrific.
