...press on my right temporalis muscle it gets louder. I get the odd "fleeting" extra tone that scares me every time. It's been a draining few years. All audiologists say no hearing loss, mild head trauma a few years back (nothing serious)... no neck problems though I do have a bad...

@jjflyman thanks so much for the reply. I appreciate the advice and words of encouragement. Some days are still so hard, even at 9 months out. Thanks again!

Quite possibly @lapidus ...lots of folks have ended up with H from head trauma. I know one woman's daughter did after being bullied and having a soccer ball kicked at her head! Poor kid.

The immune system can be related to an acoustic trauma? How?

Hydrogen peroxide can be a cause of t?

What do you think caused your tinnitus, were you around loud noise, ototoxic drugs, loud mp3 players, head trauma, TMD, cervical spine issues? Finding the problem could fix it or give you some hope for future research

What's the rationale behind this statement?

I completely agree with this. I have hunted with massive ear protection--wearing both foam earplugs an the highest-level earmuffs available. I shoot the gun and hear hardly any sound, but half an hour later the tinnitus ramps up for weeks. I will not do this again. I've had several incidents of...

I’m so sorry. I can understand why you are feeling suicidal and unable to enjoy life after this. Has your tinnitus level stayed there same since the acoustic trauma? My tinnitus has become so much louder from preventable things too, and I also have gone over the incidents over and over and...

I have been trying to protect both ears equally for over 2.5 years and my T (new tone) is louder in my formerly good (better) ear. :dunno: Come to think of it, after the initial acoustic trauma, my T moved into my head. The head T is very intrusive and reactive. Do you have 'head T' or is it...

Yes, mine is this ultra high pitched buzzing mosly in my head. It does get louder if I plug my ears. It's worse on the left side (that was the side facing my acoustic trauma).

Spectrally uneven audiograms and quickness of trauma may be inter-related. I would imagine a "very slow grind over time" to a wide variety of sound in life is going to wear on your hearing more evenly across frequencies, except in situations like factory work where you are near machines that...

I just do not see how anyone with acoustic trauma related T would benefit from this, if it requires that you wear a head-set. I wore a head set once watching a TV show on low and my T increased /changed tone. No way in hell would I consider any type of sound therapy if I have to wear headphones.

...(Piracetam) Does anyone else have experience with them and was there any result? Can they make my symptoms worse in some way? By the way I have dizziness periods from a head trauma and the doctor said this should be addressed with the pills as well. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice.

@Nathalie The onset of my tinnitus 20 years ago I suffered with noise trauma. My head was completely numb for a while and thought I had blown my hearing completely. Things gradually improved....

...volume wise and basically stays that way most of the time with occasional setbacks. I think neck muscles also play a role in T after a head trauma. People who have had head traumas should get their neck checked. Most of the time what we think as post concussion syndrome is actually coming...

@I who love music Your method has been really working for me, experiencing a fade in the last couple of months. Then 4 days ago, I fell and hit the back of my head. Big spike still. Takes a lot of strength to calm the panic. Hoping it IS a spike and not a permanent change from the head trauma.

what is TBI?

From noise trauma. First got it in 2001, and a permanent increase after a bigger trauma in 2014. It's loud high Hz hiss, both in the head and a cocktail of flickering hisses in the ears. My hearing is pretty bad across the board too, 20+ db, down to 40-50 at its worst. Good times... :p

Subjective T can be caused by many things. About 95% of T is subjective and about 80% get some hearing loss caused by nerve and/or hair cell damage. Yes, head trauma or noise is often a cause.

It’s bizarre. I’m sure this new head noise has not come from any noise trauma, I don’t work around loud sounds and never go to clubs. Pretty sure it’s to do with either the wax or my sinuses. I hope it goes away. Took me ages to accept my left ear tinnitus as permanent. I can achieve residual...

Thats true, but I feel as if the doctor wont think its SSHL what do I tell him?

Unsure, since it started immediately during a cold, a month after a head trauma from a car crash. But who knows, i went clubbing often in my younger years, and i also used headphones. In any case i treat it like noise induced.

Thank you for your detailed post. From what we can figure out it appears to have come from a form of head trauma but we are not 100% sure. He is being seen by an ENT but the exact cause is uncertain at the moment. Reading this site to try and fill in some of the gaps. Thanks for your links

not it doesn't my tinnitus was from acoustic trauma and I experienced it in my head. However it is unknown if tinnitus in the head is a different subtype from tinnitus in the ears.

I think you shoud reduce activity as much as you can for a couple of weeks. Do not bend over, do not lift anything heavy, avoid coffee and salt, and take a mild diuretic like Dandellion root tea 2-3 times a day to reduce head pressure. I am not saying you have intracranial hypertension (if you...

I'm so sorry. Watching someone suffer might be even worse than your own suffering. Since when does he have tinnitus? Is he in the acute or the chronic stage? Do you suspect a cause? Like exposure to loud noise for a longer period of time (earbuds, noisy workplace, power tools) or acoustic...

I did HBOT. It didn't help me that much but I have noise induced T. If you have head trauma induced T HBOT should be more useful. It also has been used for concussion related syptoms like migraines etc.

Sorry but you might never know the reason for your tinnitus. Try to learn to live with.

Let's see what happens this year and hope for the best. :pompous: At the moment I have a hiss and static morse code sound that seems to blare out from just my left ear or just right ear or just my head o_O I had hyperacusis for a few weeks but that's nearly gone now... Sometimes I notice some...

...condition usually caused by any form of hearing loss from ear wax to sensori-neural, but it can also be brought on by neck jaw issues or head trauma https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208401/ Hearing Loss https://trainingandrehabilitation.com/association-tinnitus-neck-tmj/...

Yes it's usually a perfect storm scenario of hearing loss and "something else" and resolving the something else also seems to help. The most common "something else" along with hearing loss is TMD/TMJ, cervical issues, trigeminal neuralgia, head trauma and stress.

Contrast you lucky bastard. If you don't mind me asking what was your acoustic trauma? A concert or something?

Hey guys, I post the same thing all the time just in case someone didn't see my post. I always mention, and I am sure most of you know because like me, you researched the heck out of Tinnitus. But there are 2 ways to get T. Ear trauma and Neck trauma. Mine is through Neck trauma. Neck...

@JadeNYC when the T is associated with some clear cause (like head trauma), there is a big chance of it going away, even after a long period of time. Hopefully, your T falls into that category.

...biased. There are many etiologies to tinnitus and the co-morbidities, and they can be combined to muddy it further up. Your profile says "head trauma," which is very different from noise-induced tinnitus, especially when combined with benzo withdrawal. I'd prefer that further personal...

Oh ok, I hope you aren't in pain or Anything. I will always pray for everyone affected by this forever

Kicked unconscious by three guys. Started then and has never stopped MRI showed no middle ear damage. ??? Guess this shit just happens to some people after a major head trauma. Gonna have to live with it unless some treatment works

...tinnitus (with perhaps few exceptions). * Noise-induced: of course * Infection: of course * ETD: of course * Drug induced: of course * Head trauma: of course Any time there is cellular damage, there is inflammation. The better question is: is it the cellular damage, or the subsequent...

I'm still confused how someone can get into a trial if the cause of their tinnitus was head trauma? Has anyone else tried to get in? (I don't qualify) Some people on this forum would qualify with flying colors but don't pay attention to research.

I blame it on drugs, toxins or past trauma to the head or to the ears. My ears could take a hell of a lot of noise prior to barotrauma and ototoxic drug damage. Now, I have delicate glass ears.

...Every single episode the characters have gunshots going off next to their ears, massive explosions blowing around them, car crashes, head trauma etc... Sometimes when they get blown up they play a tinnitus ringing sound but it always goes away... if only. It would be so easy to just have a...

If "having problems" includes sudden hearing loss and "one time problem" means exposure to extremely loud noise or blow to the head, yes... That just confirms what i thought, we dont have the same definition.. even the medical definitions are contradictory anyway.. cant blame anyone.

My head screams, I was diagnosed with moderate traumatic brain injury a few years back, I am wondering if this makes tinnitus worse, it’s all over my head. I found after about 4 years this really calmed down until recently where I was exposed to some loud noise. Now back to brain shocks with...

Hello, I am new to this site. I have had high-pitched tinnitus in my left ear for 28 years following an ear trauma caused by a diving accident. In that time I have adapted to it to the point that it never bothered me at all. At times the tone of my tinnitus drops from the high pitch to a low...

Indeed. But maybe it is about gradual vs. sudden onset, i.e. the theory that gradual hearing loss allows the brain to adjust. It's the sudden (due to noise trauma) loss that makes the brain go haywire. And people's tolerances may vary here. I had a fair amount of noise exposure in my youth -...

Consider having a cerebral angiography done like this guy, and greatly reducing you chewing.

Roughly 200 different health disorders can cause tinnitus as a symptom. That’s according to the American Tinnitus Association (ATA). Some of the causes include: Age-related hearing loss Noise-induced hearing loss Obstruction in the middle ear, like earwax or dirt Head and neck trauma...

@ManApart - How are you doing? I know that absolutely no one but another tinnitus sufferer knows what you're going through. Everyone from my family to friends just think I'm fine because I can answer questions and have no outward physical trauma. The trauma is in our head somewhere, so the...

If it is dead/damaged hair cells, it will probably help. An OAE test can show the health of your hair cells.

We tend to forget exactly how things were... But I was in a bad place for a long time. Just moving my head on my pillow and hearing the sound of the sheets made me crumble. I couldn't stand the sound of running water or frying food. I remember going on a trip to a waterfall about six months...

I had a major head trauma 1979. Cliff diving. I can't handle this anymore. I've recently told friends my secret, but they've all begun to think I'm losing it. Today, and the past week have been horrible. I've toughed it out long enough.

Hey asian, ive read that you had t the same wat i did (head trauma) and that you've had good results with physio. I was wondering if the results stayed? Physio is helping me too. I'm very curious on how it helps long term

This so needs to end. A lot of people are talking about developing T after head injuries and neck injuries, yet the medical profession is so quick to say they are not connected. I don't get it, more research is needed about this.

Hello everybody, I have had tinnitus since 2018. It was caused by acoustic trauma, as my ENT indicated back then. I have high-frequency hearing loss. I used to work in aviation for several years and had to be around operating helicopters, but I made sure I regularly wore ear protection...

...in the forks and I went over the bars and face planted into the bitumen. For some reason my head always hit's the turf :eek:. Like most head trauma there can be some ringing that eventuates. Because your head has had a trauma that shouldn't be surprising but in most cases the ringing will...

What about a late 2010 Lincoln Town Car, is that quiet enough? People with hyperacusis are also reactive to vibration and shock so a Prius would be bad. Electric doesn't solve the problem of road noise or motorcycles passing. For that you need double-pane glass and really good insulation. I...

Tinnitus is a phantom sound that comes from the brain due to many reasons. Hearing loss, ear trauma, medication and the list goes on.
