Never thought I'd say this, but there ARE some advantages of having tinnitus. So, high pitched hissing tinnitus for 3 years and intermittent pulsatile tinnitus both ears over the same period. Severe depression and 'utter failure to cope' initially....eventually habituated. Over the last couple...

I'm having a hearing test on Thursday before an ENT appointment. This is the first time my tinnitus and possible hearing problems will be addressed by a professional. I'm definitely going to ask for the pulsing sounds because my T is constant and high-pitched with intermittent stand-out sounds...

If it is fading compared to how it was a month ago, it ought to continue to fade.

so you had temporary tinnitus? So what exactly is your point for us with chronic tinnitus?

Interesting. After what time period did your aural fullness start to become intermittent? weeks, months? Also, do you experience a Tinnitus tone you would classify as 4kHz? Or do you only have higher tones (>8kHz)? I also experience a weird sensation in the ear indicating the presence of...

Intermittent use probably the safest but like you I got good results and took it more frequently. They are nasty drugs if they get a hold of you, knowing what I do now I would never take them. There are many people who have tinnitus because of this class of drug, you have to work out the risk...

Thank you Golly and Jazz, I appreciate your advise and will consider your recommendations. I wonder if it is possible to habituate intermittent tinnitus .ie a shrill brain rattling ,tinny noise. I am considering buying the TRT book from amazon, as there is no TRT centres where I live. Nothing...

I've had this swishing tinnitus for years (I wrote an intro post of myself in the intro forum) and I get intermittent ringing.. The swishing keeps time with my heartbeat but the ringing not. Do other "whooshers" get this? I've never really looked into treatment options... I only recently found...

In a moments of quieter tinnitus (like now), I want to think constructively about my situation. I have two major issues I think: 1. Anxiety/fear/catastrophizing is back. And strong. I just do not know how to shake these feelings. They make me cry, pace, cause stress. As mentioned I continue to...

Loudness is a huge factor. My tinnitus is intermittent. I usually get 2 days in a row where it is is 1/10 then it can literally spike to a 10/10 for a day or 2 then it returns to a 1 or 2/10. I have much less stress on the quiet days than on the loud ones. If it would stay quiet I wouldn't even...

That’s temporary; in no way can overprotection make tinnitus permanently worse. Temporarily louder, sure. And why did you tag me and my comment? I was talking about hyperacusis. Painful muscle spasms is middle ear related. Relaxation and not being anxious can help the middle ear relax. So...

Hi everyone, I got tinnitus after a a bad flu like head cold that lasted about a month (in November). I got intermittent tinnitus during the end of the virus. My dr had me go on Flonase and Claritin. I tried that for a week or so. The tinnitus then didn't bother me since it was on and off and...

Hi all, I would like to confirm this. I started an intermittent diet a couple weeks ago and I have noticed my tinnitus which I have had for seventeen years has decreased dramatically. In fact I was completely shocked and ecstatic when I found this blog. I thought my military background was...

I read the success story of @Barry Gradski on "Doing Nothing Worked for Me" thread as linked by @billie48. On the face of it; it seems like a good method. That is until you read that the author of the story frequently had silence with their tinnitus, that their tinnitus was intermittent. That...

Do you plan any trials with whatever kind of medication in the next future? In TEDx you said help is on the way. What’s the actual status of it, any new findings? When you think will be a real treatment which lowers the tinnitus loudness (not a cure) available? What do you think about...

Hi guys, I have two type of tinnitus, an hissing on my left (previously high pinch), and an intermittent one on my right. When I try to "pop" the ears, my right one do the same as before the onset, meanwhile the left one "pop" when it wants. It can be after 10 seconds, 1 minutes, 5 minutes. All...

...- always curious how the limbic system theory and Will Sedley's “once you see it you can’t unsee it” worked with people with intermittent tinnitus or those for whom it fades. I am sure they have an explanation although Dr Rauschecker’s one left me scratching my head as it seemed too...

Thanks, Nancy Fortunately it's been something over the years that will come and go; I've been able to function, because the tinnitus/vertigo are intermittent and only sideline me for a few hours. But this latest spike is the worst ... loud, persistent, and in both ears. The last five weeks...

You might want to take a look at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16514262 "Typewriter Tinnitus" seems to respond to carbamazepine. If you are going to see a doctor tomorrow, you might want to read up on carbamazepine and discuss it with him or her. There are also apparently surgical...

I know it is very frustrating. I do not remember where I read it, but it was something to the effect that scientists think they have identified a gene that may be responsible for tinnitus. There are people like my 80-year-old father with hearing loss who has intermittent mild tinnitus and then...

...to activate in the discerning of pleasant or unpleasant noise. I did ask Josef if there was any comparison to patients with intermittent tinnitus (he has intermittent tinnitus himself) but there isn't any work unfortunately. Will be interesting to see it though, maybe the gating mechanism...

Hello and welcome to the forum. There is a Pulsatile Tinnitus subsection here. I would recommend to check out this thread, it is really informative: If You Have Pulsatile Tinnitus, Here's the First Thing You Need to Do to Get Answers and a Diagnosis I also have tinnitus which can be stopped...

Not really. I had mild tinnitus in 2016, but now I suffer from a severe version of tinnitus. I've an electric drill sound of around 70/80 dB, and two other sounds that I can hear almost everywhere; an intermittent engine noise (40 dB) and constant white noise (50/60 dB). The shower is ok, but...

If you had hearing protection in when the alarm went off, then you are not going to have done any harm to your ears.

I would say you might have to use Tinnitus Mix once in a while to keep the tinnitus gone, but hey you did not spend thousands of dollars at the E.N.T. and get experimental surgeries or any of that... and it was free, win win.

Found this on You tube just now. I will give you her videos and the site link. http://www.theharwoodgroupny.com/tinnitus-treatment/ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHarwoodGroup Published on Sep 13, 2012 by TheHarwoodGroup Tinnitus treatment for you or someone you love is available. You don't...

My tinnitus also spikes when I drink water too fast. It's intermittent, though, so usually I don't hear it at all but occasionally do (once every few weeks or months) when I drink water quickly or sometimes just randomly. I can also sometimes trigger it by doing the valsalva maneuver. My...

Yes it’s so frightening!! I actually felt something crawling on my neck at first but I thought it was my hair or something but then it went into my ear and nope definitely a bug! I flipped out of course lol because the fluttering felt exactly like TTTS - same ear too! Happy to hear it all...

Does anyone think that crackling/clicking when swallowing/yawning may be an indication of eustachian tube problems? I've also had a stuffy nose since this started and ear felt plugged when tinnitus started in November. My t is intermittent (one day quiet, next day louder, etc.) and has remained...

The whoosh is intermittent but at times it can be heard when sitting still, particularly in the evening. The pulsing drives me crazy though because unlike the normal tinnitus, it comes with a sensation. I would say the water draining through a pipe is the worst of it, even though it happens...

Alxtan, I'm glad to hear that you are adjusting well to your tinnitus. It's good that yours is a mild case. Keep those ears protected when you're around loud sounds, and you should be able to avoid having it get worse! Also, I would say that nearly every person experiences tinnitus to some...

I hear you for sure about the benzos, but I struggle with serious intermittent sleeping issues. I've been dependent on smoking pot for sleeping for 10+ years and the Klonopin is helping me ween off of that dependency and at such a low dose I feel like I am not trading one dependency for another...

I keep track by assessing how the day went. I have intermittent tinnitus; another words some days it is louder than others. And some days it is soft part of the day, and the other part louder. So the days it hardly bothers me, I call good, the days it is loud I call moderate; and the days it is...

Hi everyone, I've had tinnitus for 10 weeks now. It has gone down in volume but still there in quiet rooms. Does anyone with TMJ induced tinnitus find they have spikes after going to loud venues or drinking coffee/alcohol etc? I'm seeing a neuromuscular dentist in a couple weeks time to...

I would describe my tinnitus as fluctuating (AKA intermittent), annoying and similar to Michael Leigh's case in some ways, but thankfully not as high or severe, as his gets.

When my tinnitus first began, I would hear a distortion eerily similar to what you described. It was like a soft morse code that would steadily get louder and compete with any constant noise I would hear. Pretty much any nonstop sound would set it off. Music, running water, fans, tea kettle...

Interesting. When I yawn it makes my tinnitus worse not better. What about deep breathing - does that make your tinnitus better or worse? It calms my intermittent tones. Are you subjected to loud noise through your work or socially. or have you been using headphones a lot?

...device with pressure sensors. In my opinion, this device shouldn't be marketed or sold. In summary, I still experience intermittent tinnitus, but I no longer have an emotional response to it, and it does go away. I know I haven't habituated to it because I can't hear it even if I try to...

Sulodexide has been used clinically for the prophylaxis and treatment of vascular diseases with increased risk of thrombosis, including intermittent claudication, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and post-myocardial infarction. Also investigated in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease...

Yeah, I have this problem. The intermittent fullness that feels like sinus issues but isn't really. It may be due to muscle contractions around the ear. It happened the other day after wearing Peltor muffs to use a loud blender. They were on tight, and then I felt the ear fullness for a few...

I just want to briefly mention that sometimes drug "seem" to work. But that doesn't mean they're not doing damage that's cumulative and long-term, and may not show up for months or years. IMHO, it's always better to seek out super safe non-drug alternatives. There's plenty of them out there...

...--- That is great news! We have really enjoyed having you here, but glad you are able to move on. I think that may show that intermittent tinnitus could be a precursor to calmer tinnitus. What do you think? I'm glad you're one of the lucky ones, and hope it continues to be calm for you...

Interesting. For me exercised used to make me hear more balanced but lower, quieter (I had severe hyperacusis). However, lately exercise spikes my tinnitus a bit. It is strange...

It is in the same region as a shift, but if the tone was pulsed I wouldn't have the same issues in perceiving it. I've tested myself with a tone at constant volume and when it pulses on and off it's easier to hear it as a distinct tone at a lower volume. Not by a huge way, but enough that it...

Hey Markku, Hope all is well! Continuing to fight the good fight of Faith! Tinnitus is still here; however I think I have habituated quite a bit. About 2/3 of the time it does not bother me; and 1/3 of the time it still is somewhat afflictive. With my tinnitus being intermittent I do not know if...

I started Nortriptyline in early August 2021 and I’ve gained 10 pounds since then. My diet has been shit the last month or so and I haven’t exercised well enough, but I believe I’ve mitigated the weight gain through 18/6 intermittent fasting. 12:30 pm-6:30 pm is my eating window. On May 15th...

I had my MRA yesterday and received the results from my ENT today. The results were normal. Here is what I can tell you. I feel and hear my heartbeat in my right ear all day and night. It does not go away. This has been happening since the middle of February, after I took Lexapro 20 mg for...

Thank you. Yes I know of a few members who have it intermittently (lucky them) and only one who has it non-stop like me. That’s why I wonder if anyone undergoing trial has it, it would be good to get some feedback if Lenire works for this type of tinnitus.

Good morning Markku. I hope life has been good for you lately. Things are still up and down for me. My tinnitus has continued to be intermittent; 2/3 of the time it does not bother me, and 1/3 of the time it does somewhat. I am continuing to be bi-vocational at the moment; but I am preaching all...

Hello Everyone, I’m a 69-year-old Welshman who is lucky enough to live in small village in the Italian Alps. I’m overweight and suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Here’s my story: A couple of weeks ago I was watering my plants on my terrace when I slipped, fell backwards and I hit the back of my...

Four years ago I started noticing an odd sound in my house - sounded like a very low frequency hum, sort of like a foghorn, it was intermittent and no one else could hear it. I had heard of tinnitus of course, but associated that with ringing or buzzing not this very low humming noise. I scoured...

Hi @ShellyW Are you taking any analgesics for the pain?

I should probably start by mentioning that the symptoms with my left ear began either just before or just after I finished high school in 2014, which was a particularly stressful time for me. Specifically, I noticed a persistent feeling of "fullness" in my left ear that wouldn't go away no...

My right ear is worse in terms of damage. My tinnitus is bilateral (in my head) except when it is quiet, when I can tell that it is coming from my right ear. Mine is like static and is sometimes so quiet I don't notice it (1/3 of the time). The other 1/3 it is louder and annoying, and the...

QUOTE="Luman, post: 438175, member: 26153"]Sorry about your bad dental experience. I've had many dental procedures... Luman, thank you for your reply and words of wisdom. I will probably habituate over time (eventually) to the new level of tinnitus, but that new level is the result of more...

Hi @Steph1710 I have something similar to you in that when I go to bed at night if I lie on my front with my head positioned to the left then my tinnitus disappears and also if I lie on my right with my head straight and my shoulders down it either disappears or reduces phenomenally any other...

I can say, with some assurance, that not caring about mild to moderate tinnitus isn't something unique to any individual, virtually all of us have the ability to do this, and most will , sooner or later. As this begins to happen, the brain calms down, and focuses on other things. I have...

I notice when i have fleeting tinnitus that most of the time everytime it happens its a different noise and level.. Sometimes im like oh well this noise isnt so bad then ill get one thats really annoying and be like oh god go away! How much do you experience the intermittent T like for 4 hours a...

When it comes to pre-clinical work, I tend to agree with you that they haven't worked delicately, as previous versions of this device haven't been tested in animal studies, which is preferably the way to go. Dr. De Ridder has conducted many experiments with bimodal stimulation (pre-clinical and...

Not sure if they can be habituated to honestly. I just deal with them, very annoying. I distract and keep busy. I would like to see if someone habituated to something similar. Visual snow? That’s just awful and I’m sorry.
