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

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

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...

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.

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

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

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...

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...

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

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...

I have the same thing. I think it is the Eustachian tube.

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...

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...

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...

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...

...- 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...

...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...

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.

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...

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.

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

...--- 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...

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...

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.

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...

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?

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...

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...

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

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 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...

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...

...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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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 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...

Intermittent, gone for most of the day. Very manageable. It's not a soul crushing burden that makes me want to die anymore. I think the PRP treatment has a lot to do with that but sadly I have no evidence. I'm sure he will even tell you that there are no guarantees so if you do approach this, do...

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...

For a long time I had to battle to convince G.P's my Daughter then 7 should not have a clicking noise in her ear that I could hear up to 6 inches away ! , we had both been reduced to tears that she was hearing things ! and I her Mother was making her anxiety of hearing things worse by being...

For me the tones started to become intermittent and then the volume started to decrease after five nights... head tinnitus didn't come back in three weeks. Had a short episode again two days ago but still doing better as before the Tinnitus Mix.

Plenty of people with tinnitus have complete silence, and sometimes for an extended period (e.g. 1-2 days). They have intermittent tinnitus, which is quite common.
