I agree. Seems like the most likely cause. It can’t be just coincidental that I had both start at like the same time. As for noise from the concert I was in nose bleeds so it didn’t seem loud, but who knows! Thank you for your reply.

I’m just about done with the 72-hour water fast (in 3 more hours). I needed the detox. My tinnitus didn’t budge an inch however. In fact, I’m more bothered by my tinnitus today. It may be spiked, but not due to the water fast itself. I had trouble sleeping on an empty stomach throughout the fast...

It wasn't intermittent (as in coming and going) it was there all the time. Mild compared to others here yes.

I don't know, maybe I was just one of the lucky few, but I used earplugs a lot, even during the night and I heard silence. Aside from the intermittent low hum and fleeting tinnitus, I never heard hissing or pure tones, not even after concerts, never.

Me neither... until severe hyperacusis started. And later on, tinnitus started.

Since my tinnitus naturally dropped from severe to slightly intermittent after a couple of years following my noise trauma, I tend to have 1 or 2 "annoying" tinnitus days a week and without fail a few craft beers/some red wine nullifies it for me. After 6 days of quiet-room-only tinnitus, and...

...If you like, we can share notes on how our tinnitus behaves to see if we can learn more. There are others on the forum with intermittent tinnitus, but I've found that the more common situation for people here is a constant noise-induced or medicine-induced tinnitus. By the way, nice use...

This happened to me. 2.5 years ago I began getting intermittent tinnitus in the left ear only. 6 months later the right ear started (much quieter, kind of echoy, and constant rather than intermittent). It almost feels like it's resonating sympathetically with the left.

I know there are a decent amount of posts regarding Septoplasty, and I’ll keep reading them, but I couldn’t necessarily find an answer from people who had a Septoplasty after tinnitus. I had tinnitus onset a little over two months ago, the same time I had a sinus infection, then mono and loud...

Hey there @VitaminBike, just wanted to welcome you to the forum. I'm not familiar with Nitroglycerin, but I hope you're able to piece together a theory well enough. What I've learned is that there are so many factors that could cause a sudden onset. I suppose you've done the usual--sought out...

...row. I've heard others say their tinnitus has longer cycles, like 5-day cycles. There's a good thread started by @Luman called Intermittent Tinnitus that has some describing their variability. I find it hard to habituate to it since it comes and goes and also changes in quality and pitch...

For me it's specific noise frequencies, usually resulting in intermittent very similar beeps of that noise, especially as a sound distortion. Not constant, intermittent and only in loud environments. Calms down in quiet and goes away where normal tinnitus garbage remains.

It seems like a positive sign that you are having intermittent good days.

As someone with intermittent tinnitus, I can say its definitely both.

I have intermittent tinnitus as well. My tinnitus fluctuates wildly. I often wonder why and how this is possible? Maybe investigating the brains of people with cycling tinnitus could lead to further discoveries? The limbic system may certainly come into play at onset, but how does it account for...

...of going out, the sound sensitivity increases very much and my ear rings more in reaction to speech. My doctor says I have intermittent tinnitus and hyperacusis but that it should 'resolve' itself given time. Strange thing is the ringing is not continuous like so many describe here. From...

I have relatively mild tinnitus and intermittent hyperacusis and ear spasms. If it can cut my tinnitus down, that would be one hurdle overcome.

So I’ve been suffering from tinnitus for almost half a year. Things aren’t getting better. Apart from the fact that I have reactive tinnitus, I recently acquired a new tone out of nowhere in my right ear that sounds like a loud car engine when I’m in silence and intermittent bass in semi...

Same here.

Yes, I have intermittent clicking in my right ear over the tinnitus.

Is there a connection between the nature of the tone and the cause of one's tinnitus? Like if you have hearing loss, you get a constant pure tone, because the hair cells are dead and are not working anymore in any way. Maybe you get a nervous, intermittent tone when the hair cells are not...

Hi @TeslaGuy -- Interesting conversation. I've been researching optimal health and longevity for quite some time, and find it interesting that you've not mentioned anything Sinclair has had to say about nutrition and environmental pollutants, both of which I feel are critical factors. Perhaps he...

No problem about the length, mate. It definitely sounds like you’re dealing with something that nobody seems to fully understand. It seems to go beyond just hyperacusis and resembles a kind of sensitivity or intermittent chronic pain centered in your ears. I believe some writers, like Dr. Howard...

Do you feel your low hum was related to wearing earplugs? Or you experienced this tinnitus for some other reason?

Hi Jenny, So sorry you're dealing with this. I also developed tinnitus following the COVID-19 shot. Mine started the day I received the J&J vaccine but was intermittent at first. It later became 24/7 - loud and intrusive. It is maddening! I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you to...

For those that may find it interesting, below I have created the progression of my tinnitus thus far. HL indicates Hearing loss. Quiet pure tone --> (HL) Severe pure tone --> Severe hiss- -> (HL) Loud hiss --> Moderate hiss --> Intermittent moderate hiss

No. But I got several new tones about 9-10 months ago, which started intermittent, but are now chronic.

Tones maskable, no longer "as" reactive, still ramp in volume but not as badly. Intermittent morse code tinnitus (all the 5 different ones) are extremely reactive and distort any attempts of masking / volume match.

I wonder how many of us have this sort of intermittent tinnitus? The audiologist I spoke with seemed to think I was just imagining the fluctuations in volume, but there are certainly a good number of people with the same symptoms on Tinnitus Talk. It is frustrating, because it implies that my...

Hi, I have intermittent pulsatile tinnitus in left ear. I have scalp paresthesia on the left side of head occurring all through the day. I see your message was posted in 2019 - have you got anywhere with a diagnoses?

I don’t have a specific cause to point to unfortunately. I think the direct causes are cervical injuries and possibly autoimmune. I awoke from a nap and chronic tinnitus was just there. I did however have intermittent tinnitus (a few times a month for 30 seconds at a time) for the past 2 years.

I remember now it's called intermittent Tinnitus how could I not remember that. lol

...year, 2019. I knew it wasn't normal so I made an appointment with an ENT. The appt was mid July. I was still experiencing intermittent tinnitus symptoms, only occasionally. The ENT told me it was usually due to hearing loss and sent me to anothe room to have a hearing test. After...

Karen, is your pulsing tinnitus there constantly? Did it start off intermittent then become constant?

Hey @Erik.Swe - Just wondering, would you classify this as intermittent/fluctuating instead of occasional, since it keeps reoccurring. I have good/bad days too in my right ear and considered it fluctuating.

People say this because that's what they experience. In my case I wore earmuffs every time I went to outside. I even wore them at home to listen to my tinnitus and to get used to it quicker. And guess what, over every white-noise alike sound, I started hearing crickets, intermittent beeps (sound...

Which is strange. My tinnitus is intermittent and I only get hyperacusis when I have tinnitus active.

Have your symptoms resolved? I just joined the forum and posted today. My symptoms sound identical to your symptoms: Loud click when swallowing Pulsatile tinnitus in right ear that gets worse with movement (crescendo) Intermittent non-pulsatile ringing in left ear Occasional neck stiffness and...

Mine is intermittent, and is bearable.

Rapid thumping in right ear. Most apparent when surroundings are quiet. Tinnitus changes in rythum and is intermittent.

I am not so sure that intermittent tinnitus is that rare. In a 2010 paper by Rauschecker et al., the authors state, "A sizeable portion of tinnitus patients suffer from what is known as “intermittent” tinnitus, in which the ringing sensation disappears completely for days or weeks, only to...

Well to be honest it was intermittent first, then steady, then intermittent again, then gone. Description of T here: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/is-my-tinnitus-unusual-please-help-identify-it.1604/ Details on how I cured it here...

Hi all, I have had intermittent pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear and regular tinnitus in the right ear since December 2019. Last months it has been very easy to live with. Two weeks ago I had a sinus infection. Terrible headache and pressure on the head and both ears. But I didn't have...

I made a post about this subject somewhere in this thread. Besides the non-invasive aspect of the TU Delft device, there are additional differences we can expect from it vis à vis VNS devices like MicroTransponder:

I suffer from this low frequency tinnitus sh*t but I was able to suppress it for 3 consecutive days after flying for about 7 hours. I always have my ceiling fan on since the low frequency tinnitus disappears as soon as I turn it on. Sadly, however, my reactive tinnitus flares up instantly with...

My tinnitus has changed for the worse(-ish) since late December last year, so my ears don't seem to have the morse code sound anymore. It is very difficult to hear my quieter sounds over the new constant pitches. The only one I can describe if I pay attention: a quiet shimmering, intermittent...

It would be like a short tune played over and over and over. It was constant, too. Sometimes it was a happy tune, or sometimes it sounded dark like something that belonged in the soundtrack of a horror movie. I can't remember much more detail at this time, but I do remember that it drove me nuts!

Did you have any visual symptoms like tunnel vision etc? I’m really struggling with bad visual symptoms (no depth perception, not being able to focus etc) but my head pressure isn’t too bad (no severe headaches). Pulsatile tinnitus is intermittent. I’ve been told that empty sella on my MRI and...

I don't know if it will go away for you completely, but I can swap notes with you. I have intermittent unilateral non-reactive tinnitus and bilateral reactive tinnitus. The reactive component manifested about a month after my non-reactive component onset. Both components are daily...

Hi Marin - Would you be willing to describe what your musical tinnitus was like? Was it constant or intermittent? Glad it went away for you!

...a period of quiet, but in the long run it could drive me crazy thinking when it's next going to come back. Still, I think I'd choose intermittent rather than constant. Intermittent tinnitus somehow gives much more hope of it someday going permanently away than constant - never-pausing -...

So it's been over three months for me. No improvement. The only conclusion seems to be that we're 99% sure my tinnitus is pulsatile. I've had intermittent whirring in my right ear only for over a year now. It's starting to happen more often. I occasionally get the classic regular tinnitus...

Hello, I am a single woman in my mid-50s with very little history of noise exposure. Life was great, but things changed last August 6. I took a lesson at an indoor firing range while wearing earmuff hearing protection, but I did not know I should double up with earplugs. During the lesson...

Do you think there's a chance that once I'm fully off of the Prednisone that my tinnitus might calm down and become bearable? This is my only hope right now.

Hi all - I got my second Moderna shot in May. I had ear fullness and things sounded a little muffled for a while but that seemed to resolve. Then a couple weeks later, the tinnitus began. I had never had any issue with tinnitus prior. It sounds like constant static with intermittent high pitched...

Hello everyone, Last 28th June I had an EBP (Epidural Blood Patch) to treat a spontaneous CSF (Cerobrospinal Fluid) leak. My symptoms were stiff neck and tinnitus. After the patch, the stiff neck resolved quickly, and one week later the tinnitus was on and off and it even resolved for 3 days...

Yeah agreed. Even the little static I get, I cherish some nights because it's hella better than thumps, hums and rings.

Hi Andrea, I’m sorry you’re suffering with this but happy you’ve at least managed to establish a diagnosis. I have a question. Is your pulsatile tinnitus and autophony constant 24/7, or situational/intermittent? I can also hear myself blink but weirdly not all the time, and have moments of...

They have mentioned several times that their treatment doesn't care about of the character of the tinnitus signal. It doesn't matter if it's tonal, Morse code, hissing, screaming, beeping etc. It also doesn't matter if you have one tone or more. It also doesn't matter if it's one-sided or...
