@Julian87: Of course my French brother, there are all kinds of tinnitus. Intermittent t is one of them. These numbers are estimates at best. Mine went away after a week, only to return. I’ve had static or ringing ever since. Some t goes away for some people completely, with no explanation.

Hey @Jupiterman - I have to agree, it seems like we have similar experiences, and @DeanD also seems to experience daily fluctuation. Mine did start at the end of March 2022, and it was immediately daily intermittent. It was far more chaotic in the beginning, probably because my sleep was a...

6 weeks to the day with tinnitus. Am still having intermittent pain in ears and feel the need to constantly pop them - which always helps. I’m supposed to fly for 6 hours on Weds and then 6 hours back on Monday and don’t know if I can do it. Any advice?

Thanks for the info! Will try the intermittent fasting first

Well after 4 months of been almost tinnitus free, it's back, with a vengeance. I really had forgot how wholly consuming it is & how unless you've suffered it, no one truly understands. I'm reluctant to socialise, and I am withdrawing, and I'm doing all of this knowing it's not what to do! My...

Sorry you’re going through this but hoping your tinnitus baselines sooner than later. As for how I deal with the chirp, it’s intermittent. I get it when my tinnitus ramps up from my hyperacusis but it lasts hours maybe every other day. It sucks and I think it’s just very high frequency zapping...

Regarding the pulsating part, have you taken your blood pressure? I have pulsating and my blood pressure was quite high 150 up/110 down. I now take heart pills 5 mg a day. The pulsating part has calmed down for me, it's still there but not like before, also it's only been 10 days since I started...

As if my tinnitus were not bad enough already, now I'm getting an intermittent "cricket" sound in my right ear. It happens for a second and then stops. Up until now it's been just an extremely high pitch tone in both ears. I sure hope it doesn't start continuously because .. I don't know if can...

It could be any kind of sound at all - constant or fluctuating or intermittent. There is no one type of T specifically suggesting TMJ relation.

these tests were the exact reason I got this loud pitch hyperacusis/tinnitus which has never stopped since I left the ENT's office mid July 2019...it is now October 11, 2019. I went into the ent's office that day with intermittent ringing that I had first noticed in May 2019. At that point it...

For the past month, I’ve been doing the Keto WOE along with intermittent fasting - 18/6. I’ve lost some weight, have less joint pain, more energy and feel better in general, but the Tinnitus is as loud and obnoxious as ever. I’m staying on it, but have no expectations that the T will improve.

Hi @WCJohn, happy to elaborate. One thing you should know about my tinnitus is that it's daily intermittent, so some days it's loud (shower loud), some days it's mild, and some days it's quiet (like whisper quiet to silent). I've learned that the switching trigger is deep sleep when I dream. Not...

Thanks -- somehow I missed that thread... I probably just searched for the word "intermittent" in the titles. How is your tinnitus now? Has it changed in the intervening months? Thanks for your reply -- my doctor blithely suggested Clonazepam (with 4 refills!), but I don't think she's thinking...

My name is Laurie and I have had tinnitus for several years, starting around 2010 or 2011. At first it was intermittent, but starting early this year it has become a constant hissing in both ears. I also have multiple sclerosis since 1981, and I am wondering if there is a connection between MS...

I wonder if this could regenerate middle ear and eustachian tube cilia that have been damaged due to a viral or bacterial infection. Ear infection was the cause of my tinnitus and to this day, I still have trouble clearing mucosal secretions despite normal middle ear pressure and tube function...

hey Strife, I am in Connecticut, (USA). I am doing pretty well! With "T" there are good days and not so good ones. Today was a good one. My tinnitus is intermittent; so it is low at times and louder other times. When it is low, it does not trouble me at all after seven years now!

Hello, update on my tinnitus. Since 4/16 I still have severe intrusive tinnitus. It's 17 months now and back in 5/17 I was diagnosed with Ménière's disease. That would explain my fluctuating hearing loss. The illness has really disrupted my life, I am vert slowly adapting to the constant noise...

Dear colleagues, Although my case is still recent, the oddities about it made me write in a plea for help. Relying on your own experiences and on your years of reading about others’ experiences, I would likely to kindly ask for your insights and help, so I can better understand what is going...

Friends, I have multiple tones and hissing that I hear during the day and I'm somehow able to cope with them. However, my sleep continues to be a disaster damaging my health. Besides the stress and anxiety, it is also due to the fact that there is one particular intermittent beeping that only...

I have been wondering the same. Personally I have 0 hopes of healing. Distortions for more than 2 years, which now have gotten much much worse along with sound sensitivity and intermittent ear pain. The latter two are my big problems atm. I deal better with tinnitus but the ear spasms and...

My interpretation of this was that the effects of the treatment wore off. It would be nice if he came back to participate in the thread.

I've used ear plugs to sleep for years now. Last year, I started hearing this intermittent sound. At first I believed it was a construction site somewhere. I only heard it with the ear plugs on, which was weird. A few days later I realized it was synchronized with my heart beat and inside my...

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02040194 I was accepted for the study but I'm cancelling my participation because my tinnitus has improved dramatically over the last two weeks as my inner ear infection is on the mend. The main requirement is that you must have gotten your tinnitus...

Hey Harold, I hope all is well with you and your family. I am still painting and preaching. The tinnitus is still intermittent for me. Still praying for a miracle of healing! You are going on 50 years now with tinnitus; you are quite a tribute to perseverance! Drop me a line, and let me know how...

Thank you for your response. Did you do anything to improve it? Medication etc.? Do you have any idea of the cause? Stress?

Typewriter tinnitus is a series of clicking sounds in a staccato pattern, much like the sounds a typewriter makes.

@Liam Boehm should ideally end up quadriplegic being fed by a tube. He's got no conscience.

My intermittent right side P.T. stops if I compress the left side of my neck, tried it after I read this article below. I'm hoping I don't have a dural fistula. MRI nothing, ice, meditation, breathing exercises and massage of trigger points on neck helps, low stress keeps mine intermittent...

...are commonly used off-label for anxiety. The target audience, based on the Q&A, seems to be individuals with new-onset or intermittent tinnitus—groups that often improve without treatment. The protocol doesn’t seem particularly convincing, and the claim that "tinnitus is all migraine" sounds...

I have had a steady tone tinnitus in my left ear for many years. Just recently it has been joined by an intermittent crackling sound. The old sound is still there, same as ever, and since it is continuous it is much easier to ignore than this new one which is off and on.

I have intermittent tinnitus as well, I go long stretches of the day where I can't hear it, I've even laid down in bed and gone, "whoa, where's the ringing?!" even when thinking about it, it's gone, but once I start thinking about it, I usually start to hear it in about 30-40 seconds.

Thank you for your informative responses. I really appreciate it.

Hello. My tinnitus began 9 months ago (Nov 2017). My neck was pushed while my neck and face were hard-turned left. I began hearing static my left ear. When it began it was only when I leaned down and to the left. It is now frequent and intermittent. SYMPTOMS - intermittent - left ear only -...

@Contrast what relationship is posited between hearing loss and ear pain? (Between hearing loss and tinnitus I well know.) I am interested because I have intermittent ear pain + constant aural fullness besides T, H and HL.

I've had it happen with an MRI scan, but I can't speak for a hearing test. No idea how loud they are.

Hi, Annie, There seems to be a small subset of us with intermittent tinnitus. Several of us describe our tinnitus as "high-pitched cricket" sounds. I think I've identified about 5 of us with this so far. Since you said yours was intermittent, I wondered if this (cricket sounds) description...

Hi Blodorn, I have intermittent tinnitus like you. Mine tends to stay reasonably the same throughout a day though, but varies from day to day (sleep seems to be the thing that changes it). Sometimes I go for 2 days hardly hearing it at all. I've had it for about 3 years and hasn't really faded...

The electric drill, do you hear it almost everywhere? What kind of areas provide relief? Thanx.

Greetings! Is this actual pulsatile tinnitus? I've had bilateral, multi-tonal tinnitus for about 3 years now with very intermittent pulsatile tinnitus like symptoms. I also have somatic tinnitus, but I only hear it walking (left leg forward) and and turning my head and opening my jaw to...

Interesting, thanks. Do you know the cause of yours?

Hi, @Adrianfox , Just wanted to share that I have intermittent tinnitus that I first described as the sound of "soprano crickets on steroids." I'm certain mine is somatic, and I asked the dentist/specialist that treats my TMJ issues if he had heard of this. He said he certainly had, and he...

Hi there, I've had some intermittent tinnitus for the past few years - nothing big. A recent month long virus/cold triggered a major tinnitus attack. I went to the ENT and to my surprise, I have moderate to severe hearing loss. He gave me prednisone, but left me with little confidence there...

I'm new here. So glad I found this sight. My question is I hear the sound of someone tapping on symbols its intermittent have had for 15 years thought it went away 1 ago no such luck does any out there hear other sounds ?? Even after all these years it still causes anxiety and depression there...

I'm not sure what to name that either, but I'm sorry to hear about all you've been through. I can't really comment on all your hearing issues, but the fact that your tinnitus is intermittent instead of constant might not be a bad thing. Are you sure that constantly popping your ears isn't...

Sorry for asking, it's not quite clear for me. Do you have constant tinnitus as well? Or "only" the fleeting episodes?

That's why I'd really like to know if anyone has something similar. The members of this forum tend to be fatalistic in the sense that if you have a sound in your ear, it is almost certainly cochlear damage that can't be cured and will continue forever. But the folks here also acknowledge that...

My understanding is that regular tinnitus can exist at all frequencies. I’ve definitely seen people with it in that range. However, it generally seems to work differently to what most people call “low hum,” cutting in and out with the slightest sound in that frequency. And sometimes amplifies...

From my experience on this board Tinnitus is more likely to go away if: -You're young (check) -It wasn't caused by hearing damage (check) -It's intermittent (?) It DOES go away in many people. Mine did after four years. You just rarely hear about success stories because people move on with...

I don't understand... how can this help tinnitus, when by fasting you are depriving yourself from nutrients... won't there be a chance of suffering slow hearing loss from the hair cells dying from not having what they need?

My journey into the underworld started with waking up one night to Pulsatile Tinnitus. I had never really thought such a thing could exist. Lasted 8 months then went away gradually. I had intermittent ordinary T but it never bothered me much until Feb 16 this year when it appeared during the...

Hi folks So I think I might have uncovered the mystery of the new tone - I think it might be street lamps! They make a bizarre intermittent humming noise...at least I hope that's what it is... However, thanks to the anxiety and constant monitoring, my old tinnitus has kicked up a whole bunch...

One ENT guy I saw said that he thought it was a type of pre-consciousness habituation that everyone does not have PT (the huge carotid arteries being so close to the inner and middle ear mechanisms). I have intermittent PT for which no definite cause has been found (I also have hissing tinnitus...

Before I had the DAVF repaired, I did have narrowing visual field when my heart rate/blood pressure was raised, like with exercise. If you're willing to travel to NYC, I could recommend to you specialists whom are some of the best in the world for your issue, and also who treated me.

Hello! I just signed up for this forum and I just want to begin by thanking everyone for their comments or advices. Back in November 2018 I started hearing this intermittent vibrating sound in my right ear. However I have noticed that whenever I plug my ears the sound would go away. This made...

Can you describe your ear pain? Is it a constant ache or an intermittent stabbing pain?

I’m new with reactive tinnitus so I’m still trying to figure it out. Mine is instantly reactive to most sounds which I believe is manifesting as a super high frequency electrical sound. The original sound I hear doesn’t cause pain, but the sound my ears produce in response DOES hurt. It’s always...

Isn't it ironic that loud sound is used in most tests to assess a healthy hearing? Evoked potential, accoustic reflex.. let alone the dreadful MRI.

Thank you.

Yes arm pain in upper left arm and just under left clavicle but intermittent in that it comes and goes week to week. Usually I take some an painkillers and it settles down and is fine for a few weeks but always comes back. I guess my big questions is could this be linked to my Tinnitus and the...
