Weirdly, I actually find relief in louder environments. My T is idiopathic (not noise or trauma induced), so I have no pain or actual ear damage. The noise is all coming from my brain. So louder environments, like the market, actually help me to forget about the ringing. It drowns out the noise...

When I had HBOT the doctor asked me after a few sessions if I had any voices or screams, sounds that feel like ending of words in my head. She said she had some patients with this and they got worse. So I guess it must be pretty common. I'm seeing a psychiatrist and she wants me to take pills...

Have you heard of hidden hearing loss or central hearing loss from head trauma?

First of all glad you are curious, most people don't care. In a nutshell tinnitus is disruption in the the auditory brain (pusatile tinnitus is not true tinnitus) Three most common causes of tinnitus 1: Hearing loss 2:TMD and (neck/jaw problems) 3: Direct trauma to the auditory brain itself...

This I think shows more than anything that tinnitus is more of a brain problem than ear problem. It may start with the ear, like an injury for example, but the noise is generated and sustained by the brain. I see that you have indicated that your tinnitus was caused by head injury and acoustic...

Unfortunately not, as a matter of fact, my ENT won't even acknowledge that tinnitus can come from head trauma. He says I have hearing loss and that's what caused it.

I think he means even across the frequencies, not between the ears. My hearing loss is fairly equally bilateral too, and I have a freakin’ orchestra of different tones and hisses in my head/ears. I think what mostly matters is how quickly and/or severe the trauma on your cells/synapses are. A...

Definitely like the concussion simile. I know a guy locally who is a rugby player. He had loads of concussions. Went to see him fight a Thai boxing exhibition fight. One kick to the head and he was OUUUUUUUUT. Suffered massive memory loss after, kept re-introducing himself to people. There's no...

...or brain. Unfortunately i also acquired a light/mild case of hypercusis where the T amplifies with certain sounds. Full recovery from head trauma is hit or miss. Some people get lucky and others don't. I think 1 year mark is the determinant. Careful with the Xanax! I've heard of many...

Hi all, I've had t for 7 weeks now caused by noise trauma, really hit me hard, appears to be in my right ear, although the noise has changed a lot from head buzzing and a high pitched noise to just high pitch noise, as of today this has increased significantly in volume and am back to panic...

...reply to private messages for some reason? But look at my second post, I answer some of your questions there. I have no ear pain, sounds don't seem loud to me at all. No history of neck or head trauma or brain issues. Only thing is that my jaw makes a clicky noise sometimes when I yawn or eat.

I haven't tried this technique because I haven't seen any positive feedback from people who have successfully applied it, apart from the person who sponsored it. As a result, I'm skeptical. That said, two months is nothing—don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal to feel the way you do, and it’s...

@pinklights98 You may want to go see a TMJ specialist and get fitted for a nightguard. Recently I talked to a neuroscientist through Facebook who had just developed tinnitus from acoustic trauma himself (loud concert). He said that his t got so much better after he was fitted for nightguard...

There will be never be one cure for all types of T. So many different reasons people get T. Head,neck trauma, noise induced,anxiety etc. All you socalled experts saying no about this and that treatment. Some of you think you know so much..but you dont know jack shit. What works for one...

Often without noise exposure, a sudden neck injury is cause of hearing loss/tinnitus and more so if neck problems already exist. Cervical muscle spasms from lifting or turning neck often to the left can cause C spine straightening, upper ligament damage, atlas imbalance, suboccipital nerve and...

...the fact that steroids helped resolve these issues entirely speaks of an inflammatory process brought on by something other than the head trauma, and he confirmed my theory that there was no nerve damage. The same goes for avoiding headaches, head pressure, and eye pain by using Cetirizine...

Six-Month Update I'm writing this down just to keep track. Six months have passed since the day my life was nearly ruined in 30 seconds. Has there been any improvement? Overall, the non-tinnitus symptoms have improved since the trauma, but the tinnitus itself has gotten worse. Hyperacusis I...

One of the most common causes of hyperacusis is exposure to loud noise/acoustic trauma. Other things can cause it too. Head Injury Adverse reaction to medication or surgeries Chronic ear infections Auto immune disorders The side effects of drugs Lyme disease TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint...

Here are the links: This article talks about the symptoms of somatic tinnitus http://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/somatic-tinnitus/#.VMroctX3-ix Somatic tinnitus usually occurs in one ear only. There are a number of tinnitus properties that suggest a somatic component: 1 – Intermittency, 2...

...Before my tinnitus i had terrible health anxiety for a few months so maybe that had also something to do with my onset ( together with my head trauma/cold or long time noise). I‘m sure you will improve, is your nose still full? Maybe also your ETs are a bit full so maybe steam inhalation...

I'm currently taking Topamax to control intracranial pressure and headaces due to head Trauma almost year ago.. I hate taking meds. All meds come with some long term side effects. No one knows if you take a particular med Trobalt etc..for 2 years what effect if will have on your kidneys...

I avoid going to bars and especially clubs where music is very loud and dumb girls grinding with any loser that walks by. My T is due to head trauma but since getting T if I go to a bar, club with out plugs my T spikes up the entire night. Fk T... before I would go to bars, clubs and never...

...the brain also has neuroplasticity, so under certain conditions it can compenstate. That's my take on it. Edit, well I shouldn't say brain damage unless head trauma, but maybe it goes into a hyperactive state which is very hard to reverse. Also I really doubt tinnitus is a government conspiracy.

@Simon Czt With displacement of the articular disk of the jaw as you describe would involve compressive force to your retrodiskal tissues. This could associate to pulling of the lateral pterygoid muscle. Trauma from this associates to cervical hyperextension or/and from hitting head. Retrodiskal...

No, mine has not. :( To answer your question. That is probably because it is more of a neurological problem for you than an ear problem. (it can be both) My acoustic trauma hit my left ear the hardest, and the left side is where the baseline tone that never goes away is the worst. That...

@Mathew Gould Was there neck soreness before the jaw problem or the opposite? Jaw problems can cause neck problems, but way more often the neck causes jaw problems. If the neck soreness started first, was it caused by muscle trauma, lifting, bending head forward within some activity - head...

...but you didn't say whether you had these tests done. I assume you had them done as they're routine. Tinnitus could also arise from head trauma, and I'm not sure whether that's due to the impact damaging the cochlea or the nerve, or trauma to the brain itself where tinnitus is said to...

Since Ketamine is an NMDA antagonist, is there a possibility it could provide some level of protection against acoustic trauma or ototoxicity?

@Robster, yes but it's a gradual thing, and needs to be assisted with lifestyle changes to help the nerve heal. If you're thinking about fasting, I'd join a group on Facebook because it does carry a few risks - well worth it IMO. I'm part of "Fasting and Autophagy". I see your cause of...

I am in late 40s, I had a happy life, I have wonderful wife and children. Great career, job, good future professional prospects. Good money and savings. Fun hobbies, toys. Yet, I am in the similar spot like you. I don't believe I will be able to crawl out of that deep depression. 4.5 months...

I'm reading this with great interest. Myself, I suffered a head injury back in January. My T is not pulsatile however, it is a constant tone, high pitched, primarily in my right ear (or right side of the head). Applying pressure to my temple region, moving my jaw a certain way, and...

A typical feature if head trauma T is delayed onset. Infact closed head injury patients have a wide variety of other neurological deficits that appear in days and weeks and not immediately. This is due to cell death in the brain and this process takes some time. My T started after about 24 hours...

Not screaming. Discharging a very large high pressure air tank with my head on the other side of it in a small 8'x6' room. There was no reason to discharge it at all and he happened to have hearing plugs in at the time for whatever reason.

I would doubt it. CTE is usually caused by bruising to the lining of the brain be it from repeated blows to the head such as a boxer or rugby player. It’s this bruising that is thought to release proteins which cause the degenerative brain disorder. Acoustic trauma can however cause tinnitus...

Could those neck/muscle problem cause 24/7 tinnitus? Otherwise I'm still convinced it's acoustic trauma (I realize I put "noise-induced" in my original thread title, which I believe is incorrect). I'm just still wrapping my head around 1) the fact that headphones and/or car speakers could have...

My tinnitus sounds like thousands of high frequency crickets that are all discordant, asynchronous and ever changing. I also have so many different tones that I could start a big band. And it only gets louder. I went grocery shopping with my wife early last week; I always wear silicone earplugs...

Hi Bryson. I’ve been following this thread as I’ve been on my own journey, eagerly watching how things worked out for you. I have a couple questions if you don’t mind? Sounds like you had a centralized head tinnitus and also a reactive tinnitus in you left ear, and the treatment stopped the...

Most football players have T. Google it. Especially if they had a few concussions while playing. I too have T from head trauma.. but I think mine is due to high intracranial pressure. Normal icp is usually 5 to 15. Mine was 33.. my head felt like it was going to explode until I got a...

Almost never, changed a little after I got injections into the eardrum, but I think that was just the procedure. After a couple weeks it was back to the same damn high pitched buzzing in my head that can't be masked. Does that mean it's more chronic if it never changes? It seems like...

All acoustic trauma or very loud prolonged noise exposure guarantees some hearing loss even if it does not show up on a 250-8000hz audiogram. Protect your hearing and hope for the best recovery. No guarantee's but get a steroid to be safe. If you had tinnitus mildly before did you suspect...

Steve, I appreciate your positive energy and dedication to this site and cause. I'm 2.5 weeks having T, (acoustic trauma , TMJ) On a Prednisone steroid, preparing to deal long term & have many side effects I've had good days just accepting my sounds and using the advice on this site. My one...

i got T due to a hard slap on my left side of the head = ear -> perforated ear drum etc. So in my case left ear. Of course they ask you where the T sounds is most present in my case left and center of head. This means that ear projects (how they call it) the sound from left to center..

Because your T was caused by direct head trauma which probably damaged your audiotory brain, perhaps in the future signal timing and epilepsy drugs will help. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/new-university-of-michigan-tinnitus-discovery-%E2%80%94-signal-timing.2805/page-2 Please keep in...

I had tmjd.... Years before the trauma...but I wasn't exposed at higher until it happened....now I feel more myofacial pain.... Forward head bending...That's me :( I'm always like that... Mouth open too long.... I do that too... Clenching...yes Neck pain....yes before and after. Oh...

I should check into this, as I know everything around my head and neck is tight.

I apologize I missed this comment, yeah hidden hearing loss to the moon. lol

Thanks for your message @undecided , From your mouth to god's ears My T was definitely brought on @ the onset of my head trauma, the aspect that makes it more complex is the preexisting high-frequency hearing loss on the side of trauma. Praying that that doesn't preclude me from the likelihood...

So then what is different about pusatile tinnitus?

Hi... I can still hear some stuff of the outside world, so it’s not just my head noise... a week in and this hasn’t been getting better... I’m just not sure which way to go. Last night scared me, I’ve never heard my tinnitus that loud, to the point I almost couldn’t drive. I think I will try...

@tniuf, my initial sound in 2008 was a pure sound very high pitch of 8 kHz. Then when I got those "crisis spikes," I got new sounds; white noise mixed with a high pitch sound, like the sound of a jet taking off. I could hear the sound all over my head and not just on the left side. But the good...

Damn thats so harsh. If it makes you feel a bit better, i had the same experience with my ent. I told him i got t from a concussion. He said thats impossible, its stress...

Had an acoustic trauma on a nightclub the same time as you. The first two weeks it was loud!! 10/10!! Now its 7/10 some days better than others, But mostly loud! Still hoping it will fade over time because its only been two months. My sound Also changes all the time from left to right ear to...

The real fix is an ENT taking you seriously and either surgery or a blood patch... because that shit is fixable.

I'm sorry to hear that. Well as you know, surgeries like this (hifu, dbs) are done only as a last resort.

This is my first post, and I got my tinnitus from an ototoxic med (glipizide), which resulted in a bi-lateral inner ear infection. A few months later, the doctor gave me a prescription for Remeron, for sleep, and just 2 mg of this med resulted in partial deafness in my left ear, and damage in...

Sorry Freeatlast - I’m pretty hopeless at navigating this site. The acoustic trauma happened on my left side; that’s where the noise came in, as I stand to the right of the band. Sometimes I hear ‘T’ in my left ear, but sometimes in my head. I still play traditional jazz trombone, but use an ear...
