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...

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...

...the melatonin supplementation, I would wake up approximately every 45 minutes all night long. Golly, you are so lucky to have intermittent tinnitus!:) Mine fluctuates, which is better than loud 24/7, but I wish it would disappear for weeks at a time. Sleep no longer affects my tinnitus; but...

65vwbus, I don't know what else to say, except that I'm so sorry you have the three different tones to your tinnitus, plus the pain. Is your pain constant, or intermittent? Are you staying in touch with your doctor? Lots of hugs to you, and I hope that one day, your tinnitus will begin to...

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’m not so sure. She and what sounds like fairly mild intermittent beeping tinnitus for 18 months. It could easily be coincidence I’m afraid.

Hi @Natalie Roberts. Lovely to hear from you and I bet your girls have grown up loads. I hope it's my meds but with many years with tinnitus and Meniere's Disease I know the nature of the beast so one day at a time. love Glynis xx

@dfw, couldn't agree more! -- I've recently been experimenting with modified intermittent fasting, and the preliminary results have given me my first real sense of hope since my severe tinnitus/hyperacusis odyssey started over six months ago. -- Best!

So for a number of years have always had a very low level of tinnitus. I lost a dear friend in December and the month before and during December my tinnitus has gotten worse which is now basically pulsating in my right ear. I have had an MRI and CT scan and both came back normal. I will say...

Sorry to hear that, Mine doesnt stop by plugging ears, but I have another intermittent low frequency (brown noise) buzzing tone that does. That tone can be both heard and felt, and putting a finger in my left ear (where the tone is at) stops it... the same happens if I listen to a brown noise...

I know this post is from awhile ago but I could not resist responding because I had no clue any medicine would quiet tinnitus. How well does it work?

This is interesting to me because I’m in a very similar category to you. I wake up with loud spikes that eventually go. I also have intermittent stuff that comes and goes and I can’t figure out any the connection. Yours sounds very similar. I would love to know more. You immediately get a...

Hi, @Stocktrader86, I have a couple of thoughts about your condition. First of all, it is possible that, since your pulsating is intermittent, it could be tensor tympani syndrome. http://www.hyperacusis.net/other-factors/tensor-tympani-syndrome/ Tensor tympani may be associated with...

Can you describe what exactly typewriter tinnitus is like? I had an ear surgery to remove an osteoma. After surgery I developed intermittent clicking in my ear. Dr said it would likely go away and I’ve seen others mention ear clicking being temporary after surgery. However, it’s be a year since...

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...

I developed sudden tinnitus after surgery a week ago. I was told that the prednisilone needs to be taken within 2-4 weeks to be effective. Took it for one day and all symptoms vanished. Came back the next day so am back on it and hoping for a miracle. I can hear fine, just have horrid...

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.

What makes you think that? As far as I know @kelpiemsp had had tinnitus for a very long time, since childhood. During the treatment his tinnitus fluctuated between being better and coming back. Regarding the timing question: I think Neuromod is very aware that individualised timings work...

Thank you for your reply Greg. I realise that the problem could be arterial but so far have not found much information on pulsatile tinnitus with pain. Hadn't considered high blood pressure as I am actually a long-term user of beta blockers as a migraine preventative. Apart from the pulse and...

Hey @DebInAustralia. Curious where you read about Quercetin being ototoxic? I’ve been taking it + Bromelain for about a year prior to my chronic onset of tinnitus (that’s been intermittent for 5 years). However, and I’ll update this in my original thread, 2-3 days of high dose Prednisone took...

Bastard indeed. I may have to go on a AD myself to break out of my noise loop. I hate the side effects though. I have hearing loss and tinnitus similar to you. Good luck to you with the black seed oil and keep us updated.

Hi @gorzakus -- I didn't watch the video, but I don't think 2-3 weeks of fasting is necessary, and may even be dangerous if not conducted under pretty strict conditions. Given the environment we live in these days, I think it's more advantageous to think in terms of intermittent fasting, which...

Thanks for the kind words. The list of causes for the intermittent sensation of aural fullness is long and best left to folks who know more than I, but the fact that your ENTs "have found nothing abnormal" means that whatever is causing the fullness is of no clinical consequence. The reason...

I see people speculating if FX-322 will help hyperacusis/noxacusis. Any speculation on if regeneration via FX-322 or another drug will help with TTTS at all? Also, my tinnitus is very reactive. When people speak of improvement, I wonder about reactivity. Of course it’s great to see these...

I have persistent, intermittent tinnitus. Some days, it's there for a few hours, and stops. Others, it's on all day with no breaks. I would say that it's about 90% middle-head, sometimes a bit more on one side, because I sleep on my side with one earplug partially in whatever ear I'm not...

Hi all, I underwent what I thought is an acoustic shock with headphones back in March. While I have largely habituated to my tinnitus, I have some TTTS in my right ear and some sensitivity to higher frequency sounds. My right ear is the one with a more significant hearing loss as well...

Good to hear. Yes sorry, I missed your other reply. That is interesting because I have vibrations and nerve sensations all around my body too. However, I've had that throughout my life and only recently had this, so there may be no correlation. But let's keep that in mind if we notice more...

@SillyMama your mentions of jerking eyes and tinnitus better/ or worse with different head/neck positions may start with cervical spondylosis – neck arthritis where bony growths may compress the vertebral arteries. Together or with very little age progression spondylosis - the vertebral...

I have had tinnitus from acoustic trauma for 5 1/2 months, caused by a single gunshot after my rifle stock dislodged my earplug without me noticing. I’m worried about how stable my tinnitus will be in the future due to the damage. Currently, it’s a very mild tone that I don’t hear during the...

Thank you for your kind note. Yes, I feel fortunate to have the diagnosis. Knowing why can definitely help someone cope with such rattling symptoms. To answer your questions, my pulsatile tinnitus and autophony are intermittent but frequent. Generally, day-to-day noise and goings-on often...

@JudyM Thank you for your kind comments Judy it is much appreciated. It took many months to write this article as I was going through a very difficult time with my tinnitus. I threw the towel in many times but support from some close friends enabled me to finish it. I am working on another...

6th month mark. So. To keep this not too long... I wish I had good news to report, but I do not have any. My tinnitus appears to be steadily the same as 6 months ago when it began. I really hoped to see some improvement by now, but apart from few minor random moments of low tinnitus nothing...

Thanks for posting the suggestions. I have intermittent tinnitus that I think is muscle-related, and relaxation exercises are helping some. My ENT was completely disinterested, but my TMJ doc cares. He recently suggested a magnesium supplement to help calm over-tense muscles. I'm becoming...

Who here experiences tinnitus that reacts to the noises around them? I have had very mild tinnitus in both ears for a couple of months (high pitch, low volume, which I had mostly habituated to), but in the past few days my left ear is reacting to certain frequencies (especially electronic ones)...

Hi there, I have posted before a long time ago now. My name is Lorna and I am a 47-year-old woman who works a a teaching assistant. Three years ago I had tinnitus in left ear, it was intermittent and like beeping that would eventually become one long tone. It would stop but always start...

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone hear the same tinnitus sound It is similar to ocean sound with beating (pulsing) When it first started with me, i was hearing heartbeat only on my right ear and rarely with the left one As time goes by, it changed to ocean sound and it pulses. It is On...

Hi, @sonicboom2000, No, I'm afraid I don't know of any other blood pressure drugs that we can be sure don't cause tinnitus. However, in your case, since yours is intermittent it may not get any worse. That's something only time will tell. In the meantime, it sounds like you've made some...

...I make a call,or the phone ringing can bring it on. I've been busy since posting my introduction and have just stopped for a cup of tea. My noise was fine until I made a phone call. I'm wondering if there are any other intermittent tinnitus sufferers who find this happens after using the phone.

Hey again Tinnitus Talk! I have my first appointment tomorrow to try and discover where my tinnitus comes from (it's intermittent and unilateral tinnitus, some hours its a 9/10 on the tinnitus scale and some hours it's a 0/10, my root cause diagnosis is muscular/neck tension/TMJ related since...

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...

@shasta0863 -- She has relatively mild antibiotic induced tinnitus from many years ago. She's never had a problem with normal air-powered drills, but she could hardly believe how much quieter the electric one was. Since you're so nervous about this, I would try making a separate visit to a...

Good idea. I thought about doing that too, two in one would be a greater benefit. I’m going to stick to regular for another month and see what happens. I heard stories of people treating their tinnitus with fasting too.

Hello all, I'm new to tinnitus and am seeking advice on how to manage it. In short, I had a severe adverse reaction to the antidepressant Fluoxetine, which caused me nerve pain as well as a ton of other side effects. I developed tinnitus a week or so after I stopped the medication, so it seems...

I know of one tinnitus "faker" who used to work with my mother in the public sector. Initially he used the excuse to get out of conscripted military service, eventually he used it as a way to shirk job responsibilities and eventually retired early. He confided in my mother that it was...

...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...

Hello everyone! I've had tinnitus for years, almost 24/7, of varying pitches. It has always been louder in my right ear, and the same ear sometimes has what my ENT called pulsatile tinnitus, but it actually *feels* like thudding/rumbling. The PT started after a plane flight with a cold...

More like a year. 9.5 kHz. Occasionally (seldom) 4-5 kHz. I realize tinnitus actually means there has to be sound. But there is so much more to damaged inner ears. Sometimes I get the feeling that a very sharp scalpel is cutting through my brains. I hate this condition:mad:

I have the same situation, but I have had this just for 4 months. What do you do for sleep?

Hello there, I've had high frequency tinnitus for many years, it's one of those things that I got used to quite quickly and now I hardly notice it at all. However last year I started having intermittent low frequency tinnitus in my left ear, like many others at first I attributed it to...

Hi all, I’ve had a horrible cough and that and my tinnitus have made it hard to sleep. I ask the ENT what to take and she said Mucinex. I need a cough suppressant mainly so I took Mucinex DM. I asked the pharmacist if it was safe with my tinnitus. I didn’t want to aggravate it. He looked and...

I do and some of us here do to, there are threads for low frequency tinnitus or low hum tinnitus or drone noise tinnitus. Mine is intermittent in a sense that I have it for a period of time during what I also have half days/days off then it goes into remission. The "active" periods are...

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...

@linearb -- You may find THIS STORY interesting (on a different forum). It's bu a man got rid of his tinnitus after starting a ketogenic diet--after having suffered with tinnitus for 5 1/2 years.

Is there any merit in trying Prednisone after 6-7 months onset of tinnitus and hyperacusis from loud noise exposure? Hyperacusis I believe developed later probably from overprotecting ears and has been improving noticeably with using appropriate protection for the situation and regular exposure...

I was in rock 'n roll bands in my youth and have had intermittent tinnitus for 50 years or so. I'm now a performing arts photographer and sometimes am exposed to loud music. Wear earplugs which help but sometimes it's so loud, even they don't help. In recent months it has gotten worse - louder...

Mine is also very tough on me just now Tracy. Thinking of you, and just wishing things could get better for both of us. Dave xxx

Very interesting post. If all was accurate you would be a world authority on tinnitus!, as it's certainly more than my ENT seemed to know. In all seriousness, I think there is some good points here, but again we don't know completely if all of this is right. It's certainly plausible. Based on...

Hmm, I wonder if it's the same, the thing is, mine is quite high pitched and intermittent, b,bbbbb,bb,bbbb,bb,bb. Doesn't seem to have any pattern. Is this what people call typewrite tinnitus? I need somebody who has this, or has had this variation to let me know. Would be very useful as...

I will have the same surgery but in 4-5 months from now according to my surgeon. I am scared of Empty Nose Syndrome more than any tinnitus spike. Please keep us updated here if you want, I will follow this thread. Wish you the best and speedy recovery and no complications after the surgery.

Firstly, I probably should say that I'm one of the "lucky" ones whose tinnitus has been intermittent, pretty much from the start -- well, after the first 2 or 3 days. I'd like to give people hope, but not false hope, but anyway, these days, the frequency ("often-ness", not the pitch :D)...
