I forgot about this thread. Shame the OP seems to have vanished as I wanted to ask what were his symptoms. I started intermittent fasting 2 or 3 weeks ago - 20 hours per day fast. The brownish iodine like colour in my semen is now very faint and looks like it is clearing. I would have to...

Can someone who has "chirping" tinnitus tell me what their experience is like? This is the one word that seems different from all the other forms of tinnitus that I see described. Ringing, buzzing, hissing, roaring...these all seem like steady tones. But "chirping" seems like an intermittent...

Hi @blake991. Sorry to hear you're going through this, especially being a new mom and wanting to focus your energy and attention on your baby. My tinnitus is a bit similar to yours with some differences. Mine is intermittent, some days I have it and some days I don't. I often experience going...

My tinnitus high-pitched and very unstable. It is not masked by anything but the shower. Sometimes not even that. My audiogram is fine up to 6000 Hz so it doesn't typically interfere with my hearing. In my early days I could not stand anything like frying pans, vacuums, fans, etc. My tinnitus...

You list your tinnitus as intermittent, meaning it is not constant? I could see that being much easier to simply accept.

Also I’m curious, are there any agreed upon telltale signs that ears / tinnitus is improving or healing? I’ve heard noises getting softer, more intermittent, silent days, things like that. But does anyone know why sometimes when people heal it goes from ringing to buzzing and then to tv static...

Well, sometimes you stumble upon strange things. This is definitely one of 'em... ;) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4803736/ Basically they are currently trying to help people with cervical pain syndrome using cervical collars. A larger paper is in preparation. The article reports...

@Rafahyperacusis has it. Intermittent. For a good number of years now.

Hello! Do you also have this problem (morse code tinnitus)?

My tinnitus went from intermittent non issue to 24/7 shriek after doxycycline. If the literature doesn't show this, maybe we need more literature...

Hello, I’m sorry you are going through this. I have just developed what I believe to be intermittent pulsatile tinnitus with a horrible ‘fullness’ sensation. I don’t have any advice, just saw you had not had any reply’s. If you look about you will see people who are well educated on pulsatile...

...clear for a bit, then it returns - sometimes worse, or at least it's perceived that way, then another cycle begins. After a while, over time, you just don't care and are able to ignore it. The therapist that I went to a few years ago confirmed that Intermittent tinnitus was harder to...

Hello Everyone, It has been a long time since I posted here as my tinnitus got to a point where it stabilized and I was habituated to it. To the point where even when I did notice it or had a brief spike, I wasn't bothered. My current spike has only been going since two nights ago, and may be...

I've had intermittent somatic tinnitus prior to to my hearing loss. I would sometimes hear it at night in complete silence and when I wore ear protection for shooting. After my hearing loss, it seems like my somatic T is way louder. Could it be after my hearing loss that my system turned up...

That's good if it is intermittent. You do experience periods of silence.

In my case I live at 4100 feet above sea level. When I stay at the beach my intermittent tinnitus disappears. But when I drive back home my tinnitus problems come right back.

This is my tinnitus now. It was intermittent but is now constant. 50% of the time it goes in sync with my heartbeat and I feel it in the back of my head. I was getting a lot of headaches in the back left skull neck area before this crap started. It squeaks, then flatlines to a sharp noise.

It has been around a year with pulsatile tinnitus. Today is my first spike... I didn't know that you could have spikes too Today tinnitus noise is continuous... usually it is intermittent Also, it caused sleep interruption I haven't done anything unusual the day before. I only had blood...

I did a hearing test with an app and spoke to a tinnitus consultant. They said I had mild hearing loss but didn't think it was significant enough to cause the tinnitus. I've always figured that the intermittent nature of it meant that it wasn't hearing loss either. I can have days of complete...

Wow so this contradicts the limbic system theory then? Can someone explain if it’s a piece of the puzzle or a different theory? What about intermittent tinnitus? Please let this be true please.

Hello everyone, You might recognize my username from other posts here. This year, I have experienced several noise-related incidents that have affected my noxacusis (trigeminal nerve pain, particularly in my left ear). In January, my neighbor played very loud music for 15 to 30 seconds, which...

Thanks, and I sure will do that. To answer your questions: My hyperacusis is spiking a bit during this period, but in the past I haven't found any noticeable effect on my hyperacusis during a period. Sometimes a very slight negative effect, but only intermittent and not 24/7 all through my...

Haha. No, I actually want to tak to him. I have this new low intermittent thumping that I had before but went away. What is reactive tinnitus?

I’ve read @kelpiemsp posts from the beginning - it seems to me his tinnitus was intermittent. He referred to bouts of tinnitus a lot and tinnitus coming back. Am I missing something? That leads me to be more skeptical about the abating of his tinnitus as it could be from natural causes.

So they are trialing this for intermittent relief. That's good news.

- why can tinnitus be intermittent - why can one have a completely different sound in each ear - is the level of “safe sound exposure” different for people with tinnitus. Do they have to wear extra hearing protection to prevent worsening?

Please keep us in the loop. I had the same thought process as you, that I'll just ask my doctor for Etanercept. Then I had a discussion with him and found out that it's insanely expensive. By the way, I also take Curcumin. I am interested in intermittent fasting.

I have COVID-19 induced tinnitus. It started after I had COVID-19 last July. I got the Pfizer vaccine two weeks ago and my tinnitus got noticeably worse within hours of the shot. It went from being intermittent to 24/7 and much louder. It has not gotten better up to this point. I have...

I was hoping he'd test his sensorineural tinnitus patients against patients with confirmed muscular tinnitus, which is also capable of being continuous in nature and could be extremely underdiagnosed.

An update on my intermittent fasting experiment. Frankly it has had no impact on my tinnitus but I have made some progress with some other issues I have connected to inflammation. I have some swollen lymph nodes in my neck which have reduced in size by 50% - I also have another issue which I...

...be good, only experienced a drop in hearing with very high sounds which the ENT said is normal as we age. He said I probably would never need hearing aids. Funniest thing to me was going in to see the ENT with intermittent tinnitus and coming out with a constant loud roar. Any thoughts anyone?

What do you guys think about this being good for middle ear myoclonus issues? I have involuntarily rumbling of middle ear muscles from sounds, some internal sound autophony (not SCDS), TMJ nerve pain, single-sided facial nerve twitches around my ear and temple, and ear fullness. It's as if the...

Hello, I thought I would introduce myself and share my story. Tinnitus was one of the first symptoms of my COVID-19 infection in March 2020. Tinnitus came on suddenly along with dizziness and a racing heart. I remember lying in bed watching my heart rate on my watch inexplicably jump whilst...

...as it was in the beginning. Or maybe I'm just less panicked by it. :-) I think there's a paper on tinnitus that suggests that intermittent tinnitus is caused by some inhibitory feedback loop in the brain. I'm thrilled to hear that your loud days are getting further apart! It gives me hope...

Feels bad. Yeah, I have 10+ sounds, including clicking in both ears (could be TTTS maybe?), 4 tones of Morse code in one ear that get worse if I lie down on the other ear (and I can provoke them by doing Valsalva or yawning - maybe middle ear damage?), 16-18 kHz wavering sound in both ears, 12...

I intermittently fast multiple days a week and recently did a 48 hour fast and it did nothing for my tinnitus.

Wow that are great news. Hope they will find a way to defeat tinnitus by this medication. I only know carbamazepine which was working for my intermittent tinnitus pretty good. Unfortunately after 6 months it was losing its efficiency... and the tinnitus came back much worse.

The CEO of Neuromod said in the interview "[...] the tonality, atonality, pitch of tinnitus is not relevant to the therapy“ (question 12)

It’s intermittent and bothers me the least out of all of the other things.

Back to silence? Hey guys a quick update, something weird happend this morning. i woke up and my tinnitus changed. it became a very intermittent hissing (sounds like the light sabers of starwars) very faint, i covers my ears and the constant "eeeeee" was/is gone thats whats more shocking to me...

Yes Lane that is true, I had touched on that one a while ago in a different post, so I will recap just briefly, but the phantom limb pain is mostly intermittent and in most cases it eventually goes away. If Tinnitus was also intermittent, it would be much easier to deal with, since you get a...

Really ? Never heard of that

I have had fluttering in one ear since June 2022. It was intermittent and eased off gradually, I barely noticed the changes. At its worst, it would rage for up to an hour, perhaps upto four times a day. Gradually over the months, the length of time it fluttered has reduced. Now it occurs...

Yes. It’s been 5 months since it started. It started out gradual and intermittent and increased.

Yes - that was just as much of a problem for me as the actual tinnitus. The steroids helped get rid of that and the tinnitus followed. It felt like I was underwater all the time, and I had intermittent ear pain as well.

No. Loudness matters at any phase of tinnitus in terms of ability to cope. Those with very mild and intermittent tinnitus statistically cope easier because they have closer to normal hearing. Yes, those with moderate tinnitus can acclimate with time as discussed on this forum.

What kind of ear spasms do you get? Ear drum spasms or inner ear spasms at the same frequency as your tinnitus?

I have been doing intermittent fasting (IF) for a couple months. My tinnitus and hyperacusis (sound elevates ringing and pain) has definitely not been impacted by IF or anything related to my diet. Nothing. Just one data point of course.

Why do I constantly get a tone in one ear, but then sometimes also in the other ear? Could it mean my tinnitus may be going away, especially if it was worse in my intermittent ear, but now it’s static?

Hey Joe! Can you describe your tinnitus please? I read it's intermittent. One ear only? High-pitched? I haven't checked for a neuroma but since nobody can tell me why I have T I'm wondering if I might have it

I’m sorry to hear that. Mine is still the same. It’s like a vibration that stops with any incoming sound. But as soon as the sound stops and there is silence, my ear drum starts vibrating. It’s very uncomfortable because it’s very intermittent. Monday I’m going to see my neurologist again for...

Mine tends to change a lot too. I have a lot of fleeting tinnitus, at least once a week on average. And sometimes random new sounds that come and go, like a soft rumbling noise in my right ear, a hiss in my left ear, that sometimes becomes a small ring, then its a recorder noise thats very soft...

Hi guys, I've got some intermittent typewriter tinnitus, this bothers me the most during the day. It's never constant, but clicking/beeping. Sometimes it stays away for minutes, sometimes it happens more often. During the night it is almost always completely gone. Waking up I'll get a very loud...

May I ask how loud? Mine is barely perceptible but just loud enough to get me particularly in bed. I am a side sleeper. Haven't identified it getting better or worse based on the side I sleep but I am still investigating.

Hi @Michael Leigh! Do you still have intermittent tinnitus? Have you been able to habituate? Have any supplements helped? I was advised to try NAC. I'm unsure if I should try meds like Klonopin? Thank you in advance! I'm having a difficult time trying to figure this out.

Hi Jan. An acquaintance of mine has intermittent Tinnitus due to TMJ - diagnosed by the way. That's all I can offer in the way of help though. Have you seen an ENT doctor yet?

Melina, I have ETD (bilateral). It started with a very mild virus infection a year ago. I noticed that I couldn't 'pop' my ears without doing the Valsalva quite hard (sometimes several times) associated with a feeling of intense pressure which eased on popping the ears and intermittent ear pain...

The results are ambiguous though, so I don't blame you. According to them, before treatment, persistent tinnitus was found in 100 ears, and after treatment, persistent tinnitus was only found in 50 ears. This to me reads like the treatment eliminated tinnitus in 50% of patients. But then they go...

...8/10 it has more to do with the intensity or volume. I hear my tinnitus all day non-stop 24/7 but that means it’s constant, not intermittent tinnitus. I can hear it at work right now when I’m busy or preoccupied and it’s like a 4/10 but when I get home and I’m in a more quiet environment or...
