I only say this because I cant think of anything else that could have caused it. I diddnt go anywhere loud or change my diet or have any head trauma. I did read somewhere that codeine was ototoxic, but I dont remember where I read it

...can happen easier under these conditions if mouth is open and pressure to the jaw is happening. A dental procedure, falling down, head trauma or whiplash. Or clenching teeth with lifting and being off balance. Some hearing loss will take place 50%-70% of the time depending on issues...

Hi - I recently got tinnitus in my left ear that the ENT diagnosed as acoustic trauma induced. The tinnitus has been slowly improving over the past couple of months. But since last week I have been hearing cricket like noises whenever I hear external sounds like fans, fridges etc. These sounds...

I remember corresponding with you back in 2017 when you wrote your first post on Tinnitus Talk. I am pleased that your hyperacusis has improved and you are in a much better place. Although I admire your optimism in wanting to enjoy your life to the full and regularly go to a shooting range...

Hello All, I am posting this as at the moment I am feeling totally desperate and to make it worse I have no one to blame but myself. I have had tinnitus for a very long time since my early 20s from going to pubs / clubs (am now 42). About 7 years ago was the first time I got tinnitus which was...

Hi Stephan, thanks a lot for your kind words. It's quite encouraging that you were able to heal your hyperacusis. By the way, did you have loudness hyperacusis or pain hyperacusis? I don’t perceive sounds as being louder, but I do experience pain and a sort of muscle contraction at the eardrum...

Hey my lovely! Yes, I've experienced very loud events which spiked my tinnitus. However, my tinnitus came down to it's original volume/sounds after a few days of the sound trauma. One time was the car stereo being left up on full volume by my partner using the car before me. I turned the car...

I understand the concern, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime event that’s still over six months away. I’ll make sure to bring appropriate hearing protection to reduce the decibel levels to a safe range. From what I’ve heard, this festival doesn’t blast music in the same way as rock concerts...

Neurons don't die like that, usually they can die from an oxygen deprivation in the case of a stroke, a head trauma or aging so I wouldn’t worry about this. And I agree with @Contrast in regards to the hidden hearing loss which is also the case for me, I would then have to wait for the drug to...

Hi @Taylorslay The symptoms you are experiencing are associated with noise trauma and in time they will fade. Remember, many people that have noise trauma have not made the improvement you have in such a short period of time. Just take it easy and carry on taking each day as it comes. Try not...

My saffron arrived from India Tinnitus: Acoustic trauma (2 years 3 months) Day 2: It is my second day and I notice that my tinnitus is not centered in my head as usual. Just a little to the left which is unusual. The noise level a little lower than usual. Slightly noticeable but it catches...

@Pwndex I think that very soft touch finger movement on the neck may be fine, but I haven't figure out from reading if it's ready advisable for TMD. There's several debated subjective causes for TMD. Then there's actual causes that includes dental trauma and having mouth extended in an open...

Do you feel that the reason medications have such a heavy hand in your hyperacusis is because the origins of your disorder is from chemo and not acoustic trauma? Just a thought, the amitriptyline just screwed you over too. I'm just saying it's possible you could be very sensitive to meds - not...

Happy to help! Here’s my take on overprotection: It’s easier to undo noise sensitivity than to deal with the damage caused by sudden loud noises, like when an ambulance whizzes by out of nowhere with a 120 dB siren blaring just three feet away from people. I’ve found that overprotection indoors...

Piracetam would always temporarily lower my tinnitus for about a day. But it has recently caused GI issues so I had to stop taking it. I never tried Betahistine. Vinpocetine never helped much. What kind of dosages are you taking of these?

If the head pain is very bad I take paracetamol, which I believe is the safest pain killer if we have Tinnitus. But @Greg Sacramento is an expert on pain meds.

Hey, I've had unilateral tinnitus only in the left ear/head for 2 months now. I got it after listening to loud music over earbuds for 4 hours on a bike. But I've had some troubles with the left ear before. I had a few middle ear infections a few years ago and when changing altitude (on a...

Does that mean that loudness hyperacusis happens exclusively at the cochlea? Because if that's the case, the device will almost certainly help.

@Bill Bauer Try not to worry over this. Your auditory system has suffered a noise trauma and it will take time to recover, trust me. I went through a similar thing and much more. For many months my head was completely numb and everything sounded like my head was under water. Very frightening as...

Hi Sen: Some have somatosensory tinnitus which isn't always about their ears. Somatosensory T is often from head or neck trauma, manipulation of the teeth, jaw or cervical spine. Often they pain in their head, neck, face or shoulders and may have bruxism. This type of tinnitus sometimes can...

My experience is that the head position can alter the feel of tinnitus just as your environment can. If you feel it’s better, then put on earmuffs and you might realise it’s just the same sounds you hear.

...individuals and not others, the one ways tinnitus might consistently fade if there was a way to restore lost hearing or some experimental epilepsy drugs. All that I mentioned is clinical and pre-clinical research about a decade away. Alternative causes are TMD, cervical problems and head trauma.

@bolive, Your tinnitus from the noise trauma will be your base sound. Tinnitus can change sound and add sounds and change strength for a reason and for no reason and have it in one or both ears or head. Stress and anxiety feed tinnitus and tinnitus feeds stress so it is important to learn to...

Maybe because people start clenching / grinding their teeth because of stress which is caused by T.

Your tinnitus sounds a lot like mine, so I’m eager to see how the treatment works for you. We’re all rooting for you and hoping for positive results. Does your tinnitus cause you sensations of physical pain? Mine feels like electrical currents and electrical discharges, in the form of zaps...

My noise changed to my head so an injection probably wouldn't work. This person talks about diet and certain things to take that are anti-inflammatory. https://drjockers.com/tinnitus/

So it's been 17 days since my first injection. At this point in time I can still hear the high pitched whistle in my right ear. However, now there seems to be a very loud low pitched hum constantly which seems to come from my head rather than my right ear, which was affected by the acoustic...

I think this is me too

...build-up feeling pressured, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure, acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as flights, slapping of the...

What do you mean by saying I don't have physical tinnitus? I have head and ear tinnitus, and my head tinnitus is somatic. It doesn't change with jaw movements, but if I press on my zygomatic process it zings. I've always wondered why that is. That's an interesting comment. Maybe the...

I think it's from both acoustic trauma and medications. I was in music for many of years, and blasted music in my ears throughout having chemo too, using headphones. My plan is to taper the medications I am on now, and go onto Cannabis for pain. Hopefully the tapering will make a difference. I...

Hi David, welcome my friend. When this awful noise started in my head I too had the horrific hyperacusis but after about 3 months the hyperacusis went away completely and now I only deal with the noise. Please keep your head up and be positive because there is a good possibility that the...

...sinus infection & congestion, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's Disease, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as during landing...

Interesting. My H started/escalated not long after I had hit my head really hard in a shelf. I don't think I had a concussion but it was a hard blow.

Just if anyone is reading or following this - I got it checked out at the hospital today. My right ear had become inflamed due to the trauma of microsuction. They said it can happen sometimes and should settle within a couple days - got an anti-inflammatory ear spray and took a couple of...

@Major Tinnitus There are many thing that can cause tinnitus such as billie48 pointed listed. The problems could be head trauma, but I would consider x-rays of neck and spine. Muscle spasm form anyplace can cause your problems. Numbness in hands, wrists and arms are often related to your spine...

Thank you. I bought the Dandelion tea the same day and it seems to be doing something. I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with my neurologist late this evening and she prescribe me Topamax or Topiramate for the headache. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I’m looking forward to...

Yes I think my tinnitus is somatic. It gets louder when I massage my neck for example. She told me to massage the top of the muscle which goes all the way down my neck behind my ear. I think it's called the SCM muscle and she told me that my pterygoid muscle was tight especially on the left side...

I have the reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis. My tinnitus has started due to the head and neck trauma. It's so reactive to the point that even the softest pink noise spikes my tinnitus. I have tried to listen to the pink noise for my hyperacusis. But after 30 minutes of pink noise, I feel...

Ok, I'm not very smart, so I need to state that first. If you have access to a decent ENT, do it. 2nd, your tinnitus may be related to your TMJ, it's physiological and can be treated with massage and other therapies, it's different than noise trauma, which I have. 3rd, a bunch of...

That's exactly me .... Just.some slight hearing loss at 4k MHz and I don't believe my T its from hearing loss ....hope you are doing better ...

Fluctuation is a good sign, especially if it fully disappears sometimes. I'd say your chances are pretty good. This part intrigues me, as this was the first discovery I had with my T (3.300 Hz). My T originates from the neck muscles though, and is not sound induced. Did you recently experience...

Nevermind: I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. My T has really spiked today. All I know is that I was rear-ended by another driver, and right after impact, I started hearing this static in my head. I'm confident that it is related to my head or neck. Other than that -- I don't know what...

...TRT can help in some case for some situations... "BUT hyperacusis is a symptom from a disease (like tinnitus)...it could be from noise injury, SCDC, fistulas, autism, head trauma, TMJD, etc etc...it's a non sense to believe sound therapy can cure fistulas...it's like believing in Santa Claus"

@Mila9828 We treated hundreds over the years with labyrinthine concussion which is a condition which occurs following trauma to the head and/or inner ear. It can also be present without a well-defined radiological injury and is characterized by inner ear symptoms such as tinnitus, dizziness, and...

Melatonin for sleeping? Also, keep in mind: As my ENT says "Prognosen är god". One month after my latest noise trauma I could not do anything. I could not use the water faucet unless I had double protection, I could not be in by home since if my neighbour opened her warddrobe or something I...

A bolshie know it all attitude towards a doctor will get a person absolutely nowhere. I have never had a problem with a GP. I have a very good rapport with my ENT consultant. She helped me a lot when I was going through a very difficult 4 years, caused by a second noise trauma.

...from low b12 symptoms, also get your thyroid levels checked too, low b12 and low or too high thyroid can cause Tinnitus, if you've have a head trauma you should also go to a NUCCA chiropractor to see if you have any upper cervical problems, as Tinnitus can also be caused by problems in the neck.

I asked to Dr. Shore 4 months ago if my case (noise trauma, 50% somatic and 50% non-somatic tinnitus) could benefit from this technology. She said as long as I have somatic tinnitus, the non-somatic part could benefit from it. I read her patents/papers and I wasn't able to find the point that...

@InDespair Agree. Posture and forward head bending can lead to many conditions and diseases where multiple physical reactions happen and any trauma with that can cause tinnitus. Your mention of scapular is discussed in this link. There are also other articles by the authors that are worth...

Just a follow up question. Did you have an acoustic trauma or took any ototoxic medications shortly before these tests? Or has it been like this for a while?

...at night and my T was loud. However when I woke up this morning T is down and back to original level again. Even though my T is due to head Trauma, loud noise does cause temporary spikes so I avoid bars, clubs.. except few times a year. I took 2 NAC pills this morning and will take them...

Hi, I'm Drew. I'm a 25 year old musician and writer. I don't know what else to do - I just need to tell my story to someone who will listen and maybe understand. On July 10, 2020 I was visiting my grandparents in Colorado. They live in the mountains, and we decided to go into town for some food...

Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well. This is my first post, and I'm reaching out for advice about a specific tinnitus sound. I've been trying to follow the Back to Silence method (which has been helping me habituate), but this new sound is strange, and I can't ignore it. Nearly three weeks...

u must of had another reason - meds, stress, noise exposure, ear syringing, barotrauma,whiplash, head trauma, tmj, reading about T, chemical exposure, mercury fillings, high blood pressure, alcoholism, excessive masturbation, panic/gad disorder, thyroid dysfunction, kidney problems, AIDS...

...There are stone deaf people with ZERO T, and people with little loss with bad T. It depends on the circumstances of how the T started - stress, meds, noise, head trauma, etc. My T is so loud I can hear it clearly 24/7 It is so horrible that you might get a panick attack if I describe it to you.

Hear hear! (pun intended) I find this sad as well, since my T started during a long headphone listening session with my new audiophile grade headphones and 'head-fi'er' hobby. I can't be 100% sure if that triggered my T, because I also got a blocked + full ear at the same moment, which is not a...

I basically had this, or something just like it after my acoustic trauma. It sounded like my voice curved off to the left ear and was all fuzzy and distorted in my right. Despite both ears testing equal and in normal thresholds. I was able to clear it up with massage techniques. Turned out, I...

Yeah true. It's just weird because I worked out for literally four years and my tinnitus never changed. It started getting worse when I started lifting over 450 pounds. I hope I didn't damage anything.

Sure, according to the experts, when a metal shower head falls in the bathtub, the level of noise is so extreme that your eardrums can blow out immediately, and all the people in the whole neighbourhood risk an acoustic trauma. This is actually the second most common accident leading to hearing...
