Are you a stressed woman? Have you done any blood samples? MRI?Audiometry? Are you taking any medication? Any head injury?

@citigirl13 No idea how I got it. Just happened. Hearing is perfect for someone of my age. No loud bangs or head injury. Noticed it at night, quietly for a few months, then one night in September it boomed and I hear it all the time. Having no one to relate to definitely sucks hard. @RaZaH...

So do you not have tinnitus now? I have had a similar experience as you before my ear problems. For many years if I shook my head quick back and forth like a wet dog, I would hear a slight sharp shaking noise in my head/ ear. It might have started when I was blasted many years ago in a HiFi...

Actually, a small percentage of people do get tinnitus from a TBI (traumatic brain injury). I have a relative who got tinnitus when his brother dropped an ax on his head! (They were building a tree house.) In his case, the tinnitus was permanent. But you're still early so there's a good...

Hi @NewLionel (Sorry, not sure how to do the quote thing so I cut and pasted the line from your post) Re: "initially it felt like my brain was vibrating/on fire..." Did you also feel like there was an electrical storm going on in your head? Experience ear fullness, pain and burning...

Welcome to the forum. Neck or head injury or muscle problem around the neck have known to cause tinnitus. Perhaps you can look up chiropractors who perform treatment for tinnitus with manipulation, or at least try some neck massage therapy. We have a pulsatile support forum so if there isn't...

My T is definitely noise induced but I also have bruxism and a somatic element. One ENT doc I saw couldn't get his head around how it was possible to have both. Don't worry I'm not wasting my time on any new doctor's appointments apart from my favourite general practitioner...

Hello everyone. I hope you guys are doing well. Lately my hyperacusis seems slightly worse. I do have occasional temporary setbacks (as in burning pain for some hours or days) after loud noises but my neck and jaw aren't doing too great either (I'm a stomach/side sleeper). I'm trying to find...

Hi Greg, just wanted to wish you luck with surgery etc. Hoping you get some much needed relief. Daniel

@Ian Mc That may due to a change in blood pressure. Some don't hear PT when standing up - only when moving head to side, bending and extending head forward. Some don't hear PT after eating. All of this - no awareness from being occupied, not hearing it when standing up and not hearing it after...

@ItsNate101 Beyond what Billy mentioned, I wound consider this: c spine, the longus colli muscle and suboccipital and occupational nerves. Head vibrations - injury to c spine with interaction of sub/occipitals with occipital nerve that go to the brainstem causing acoustic shock disorder -...

Wondering how you got on? I had a significant head injury last July. Wonder if this has anything to do with the relapse now. Is your tinnitus only in your ears?

Breach I don't know if you had received more than post traumatic vertigo - BPPV from your injury that might had included vascular concussion - ears. There's several related conditions that easy to research, but I'm not qualified to discuss them with you, only a doctor should. You later had...

...I have no idea what caused my tinnitus. I did suffer a nervous breakdown recently, medication was increased (Sertraline) and suffered a head injury after blacking out. Also was told I had an ear infection and was given a course of antibiotics. So the cause could be any of those things. I...

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes members here list a reason for their tinnitus as 'cumulative damage' by noise exposure over a long period. At the time tinnitus shows up, it may not be right after another noise exposure event. But acoustic trauma is only one of the causes of tinnitus. Perhaps I...

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...

...my tinnitus sound to a cicada but that is totally it!! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad someone has directed you to the head injury specific forum because I can not relate to that at all. My neighbour was in a similar sounding accident and deals with issues in all systems as a...

If I had told you the amount of medical problems I acquired after tinnitus and hearing problems it would sound like a cruel joke. I'm f***in 21 with the health of a 80-year-old. But it doesn't really matter as I was debilitated when I 'only' had the hearing problems and tinnitus and should have...

Well you can't speak with stupid people who believes hyperacusis is a disease from the devil and Jastreboff is the new messiah... Maybe 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...

@John 3D What you describe could be cericogenic. That would include vertigo, blood pressure changes, certain head movements, neck pain, jaw tension, and lack of posture control. Head, jaw and/or neck injury is almost always the cause. This can many times correct on it's own, if stress isn't...

Yeah lightheaded and dizzy constantly. At night, I have a hard time walking and bang into things. Sometimes I get the spinning sensation in bed if I turn my head quickly. I found all of this to improve a lot after my ear injury but still hangs around. I believe I am better at handling these...

Oh no! :( I'm so sorry to hear that, Shera. How are you feeling now? You went to the hospital, I assume?

My tinnitus started in October 2013, two days after I was rear-ended on a California freeway. I have high pitched 'squealing' inside my head. 24/7/365 ever since. The severity fluctuates for reasons which I have been unable to figure out. My heart goes out to everyone suffering from this...

...Traumatic events usually cause a significant loss of hair cells rather than gradual aging process. Traumatic events can be triggered by things that damage the cochlea (loud noise, head injury, toxic meds, etc). Also many, if not all Tinnitus patients will see a notch in their DPOAE graphs.

...temporary. It can be difficult to get some parents to make an ENT appointment. Some parents won't seek medical when their child has a head injury. Welcome to California. With kids, 90% experience no hearing loss. Some children do have coping problems and when various injuries are involved...

I had it mild since a child. Got bad I believe through noise exposure at work over the years. Sudden worsening in late thirties. But I do also have tmj and some facial nerve pain at times which could contribute to it.

hello @brummygirl yes me too from squats injury and my forward head posture no i wear sometimes the air collar for neck , the new therapy is called neuroskeletal therapy try ti make research about it i am from Lebanon Middle east but this therapy is available in UK australia and USA . they...

There is an article on "Havana syndrome" today in a Spanish newspaper. Here is the link in case some Spanish speaker is interested in reading it: https://www.abc.es/xlsemanal/a-fondo/sindrome-de-la-habana-salud-mental-estados-unidos-visados.html Basically it says the CIA, the US government and...

...can relate to your statement above, even though light head and dizziness came before neck pain. You may had a previous neck/head injury. Have you had blood work - a CBC and urine? You may need testing - a MRI, MRA, or CT. It's hard to say which testing would be best, not knowing all that...

@Mathew Gould There can be good or bad results with device that you point out in post above to place a curve back from a straightened C spine from forward neck injury. Constant pressure on neck muscles may end up straightening C spine more. If one's atlas is tilted to one side, device can do...

This type of hearing loss for you is termed inner ear concussion, commotion labyrinthitis, and otitis internal vasomotoria. It appears that you underwent thorough physical exam, audiologic exam including pure tone audiometry (PTA) and speech audiometry. Also, temporal bone and brain computed...

Since I am not a doctor, I can't give medical opinion here. Whether cold can cause T or make it permanent is quite difficult to predict. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including drug reaction or side-effects, ear or Eustachian tube infection, ear drum injury, fluid...

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes it is frustrating to exactly pin point down to a specific cause of tinnitus. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear-wax removal suction...

Mine started several months after falling on my head down stairs. Objective Pulsitile - MRI and CT fine muscles in neck cramp, vision blurs, headache, intermittent, various intensity, nausea, brain fog, duration hours to weeks, psychological and physical triggers. Control with ice packs...

@Portia Green I'm in the same boat. I *think* mine was caused by a head injury I sustained back in January. But I'm not positive because the tinnitus started two weeks after. It could be anything really. A lot of people here gave great advice. I know it sucks and I wouldn't wish this s*it...

...that is. Listen... tinnitus depends on many factors - incl. the frequency, centralization in the head (as opposed to the ears), etiology (head injury vs. noise), pulsatile/non-pulsatile, as well as the psychological component. 11 dbSL isn't catastrophic tinnitus (= Dr. Nagler's tinnitus...

Hi everyone, I've been considering trying hearing aids for a long time now. My only reservation is that I have really bad Hyperacusis. I haven't had my hearing tested in a while, last test showed loss starting around 7khz-20db 8khz- 40db and then sloping further down, I'm at about 60db loss by...

Welcome to the forum David. I understand how shocked you are when T hit you this way suddenly because I too woke up one night with T blasting away so loud and so threatening with no obvious cause and that was very frightening. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus...

Glad that you get more calm by reading posts on this site. If you need more support, you can also post on the Support forum on the main page. The cause of tinnitus is some times elusive to pin down as not all T comes from loud noise exposure. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate...

Welcome to the forum. It does seem to be TMJ related from your description. But there are many other causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus, including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum...

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...

Interesting. My T started 6 weeks after the nerve injury in my head and about a week after I had several MRIs in a row. H started several months after my T as well.

...surgery to travel that far, but found a local chiro who did specific upper cervical adjustments that helped a lot. I believe it helped me regain my sense of smell after the head injury and two other concussion patients told me their sense of smell improved, too, after cervical or atlas...

@PTsufferer, increased pressure from a slightly larger or smaller jugular vein can affect your ears, causing dizziness, tinnitus, pulsatile tinnitus and/or hearing loss. I have seen this on occasion. The right interior jugular vein is always slightly larger than the left. Did notations mention...

Hi everybody I suffered a head injury in June and since then I have like a high pitched white noise in my right side, though the sound is all around. I tried listening to some tinnitus soothing videos on YouTube but they’re painful to me, I need something lower frequency. I love watching...

@DeepUniverse -- I believe my hyperacusis had its genesis from a head injury/whiplash at age 15. I also believe the structural shifts it produced eventually led to my hyperacusis becoming more and more problematic as I went into my 30's. When I got tinnitus from a single dose of an ototoxic...

Its a sign!!!!!! Lol jk but you never know... Well something switched it off atleast.. Which means it can be switched offff!!!! But yeah dont go bumpin your head now for fun hah

I fell and bruised my right jaw/head badly a few months ago. The jaw more so than the head where i was unable to eat much the next several days. I ended up with tinnitus in my right ear that is constant. Flexeril gave me some minor relief of late. I am not sure if a jaw injury could jumpstart...

Is your hearing loss connected to BVH? Perhaps if you tried to treat that it would help with tinnitus.

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...

I explained everything to you one month ago. You said you would try. Obviously you didn't. I told you to avoid bending over (to avoid increase in intracranial pressure) and I told you to sleep on two pillows during the night so your head would stay elevated during the night, too. The point is to...

Hi Mark- I never had T until my head injury. It came on 2 days after my concussion. It's been changing frequencies. At first it was really loud and fortunately of late it's been getting slightly better. I hope for it to completely fade however I don't know the best treatment if it is fluid...

Ya I think we see this in effect when normies go to concerts and come out with their ears ringing (tinnitus) due to temporary threshold shift. The ringing goes away once their hair cells "recover" over the next 48 hours or so.

...to an HBOT chamber, I think that could be really good. There's not much else than can help heal brain and nerve trauma better than that. Except perhaps DMSO, which is used in conventional medicine to quickly bring down inflammation in people who've experienced a TBI or close head injury...
