@Greg Sacramento, do you think my issue sounds like pulsatile tinnitus, given the symptoms: for instance, when an airplane flies over my house or I’m around some other low frequency sound, even the refrigerator, it completely seems to suppress the “tinnitus noises” — it doesn’t seem to be...

I've had a low-pitched buzzing/humming in my head since 1996, although it has been known to go away for periods of up to three years. I've been on the antidepressant Escitalopram (generic Lexapro) for 15 years which I stared taking for depression, anxiety, and OCD. The buzzing in my head stayed...

Yeah, our T may be minor, it's hard to tell because it's a subjective ailment, but it's still scary because we aren't as acclimatized to it like most people on this site who have been living with T for decades. Right now, my T is a calm humming with a high-pitched but quiet undercurrent.

This is the reason I created a new thread to get an idea of peoples pitch types. It'll be interesting to know how many people have bass sounds and thunder type rumbling without further issues. Many people will say they have low frequency tinnitus and then describe it as being like a...

...I've always had tinnitus. No known cause. It seems to run in my family. It has never really bothered me much, it's always been pretty low humming. However, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and they gave me a CPAP machine. I started using it and within a week my tinnitus got incredibly loud...

Please let us know which antidepressant you switch to. I would highly advise against Celexa. If you're going to take an SSRI, Sertraline has been the one better tolerated for tinnitus from what I've read. I'm on a low dose of Nortriptyline (10 mg) but that has not helped the head buzzing...

Can hearing aids help with this kind of low frequency tinnitus? @Haylee So sorry you are not feeling well. What antidepressant are you taking now? Do you hear the humming everywhere? If you can mask it with the sound of your refrigerator that's good. Then by placing other devices/machines like...

Do you feel any increase in heart rate or dizziness by taking the Tru Niagen? What side effects do you feel from it, if any? This sounds really interesting. I'm still waiting for my new Ayurvedic meds to show up. Hopefully they will in the next few days. I'm very interested to hear about...

...my head. It stayed like that until 24th of October. During this time, sound stopped or was not hearable for 2x1 day. After the 24th, the low humming went into remission or at least I couldn't hear it much in a quiet room. Now if I plug my ears, I can hear my heartbeat thumping loudly in my...

In early December (the 8th) we got a Samsung freezer and a Samsung fridge here in the house. A week later (the 15th) I distinctly start hearing a low-pitched humming noise reverberating throughout the entire house. I try to walk it off, it gets worse the following week, and I tell my father...

Nothing particularly stressful happened the day it returned. In fact, I had gone to the gym, had a good workout, came home, and ate a healthy dinner. Just another boring day. It was a few hours later that I started hearing the hum again. At first it was faint, but then it got louder. It's been...

Recently I've noticed that I have a 'new' type of tinnitus. It is an extremely low pitched sound. Volume is pretty low but audible at night. It sounds like there is a machine or helicopter making noise, but very far away. At the same time, I'm sure it comes from within my head. Really in the...

...more reduced in that ear, especially in the mid to high frequency range. I now hear my regular tinnitus sound and this new, very low humming sound (mostly at night). Hopefully the humming will go away soon. For the past two days I have had more frequent fleeting tinnitus episodes, where it...

It looks like yours is not piercing. Even a hiss can be piercing...

That "amp" sound you have is exactly how I'd describe mine.

...tune out the tinnitus sound. I have a quite high ringing sound too, even though I'm not sure about the frequency. I'm not sure if a low humming sound would be easier to stand than a high sound. Of course a low sound might be more easily masked by other sounds. That said I feel people can feel...

...react so obviously to the sound, it is still there. Once I came across some articles about infra-sound (it was in Spanish) and apparently low humming and the vibration that hits a building due to traffic noises are super bad for health in general, and particularly affect people with hearing...

...necessary. Someone spoke, and I damn blew my ear off. It was seriously the loudest thing I have ever heard. At home, I kept hearing a low humming in my left ear, like a refrigerator or A.C. At first I thought it was my new ceiling fan, but I kept hearing the humming after turning the fan...

I'm new here too. I also have the low frequency, humming type of ringing in my left ear. I had it in 2016 for about 2 weeks than in 2017 for some days and now for a week. What makes me really scared that back then when the noise stopped it stayed that way, but now, these week it started on...

Hi! My tinnitus is a humming sound at 60-65 hz. Some sounds aggrivate it. Sometimes the tinnitus is low and sometimes it is gone. A couple of weeks ago I was exposed to a loud buzzing from a motor. Only for a few minutes. Soon after I as in a quiet room and I noticed that my tinnitus had reduced...

That's great to hear. May I ask what is your age, or age range? Are you in your 20's, 30's, 40's? I ask because according to the doctor, age is a contributing factor for success and it will be helpful data when you share you final results in few months.

Mine started like that a year ago. First time I had ever had it. It would come and go. When I talked it would disappear completely and come back when I stopped. Drove me nuts. It started coming more regularly. It would cycle. 2 days no humming 3rd day humming. It was a low frequency hum too. I...

I've had a very loud humming sound in my head, off and on, for over 20 years. Has nothing to do with colds as I rarely get sick. (See my other posts about this in detail). Hopefully, your hum will go back to normal when your cold is over. Please keep us posted.

Where did you get this information from?? Have you tried muscle relaxers?? I have this too and noticed that taking a small dose of muscle relaxers ( prescribed for neck pain) helps a little...wondering if I should take more? hmmm @Joeymeatballs how are you doing these days?? Did the low...

Well I have to disagree here. Even though I haven't been tested I can say that my T is really low in the morning if I've gotten a good sleep. Humming of my fridge can cover my T in the good mornings. I can't hear it even if I try. But when I come out from work I can hear my T easily over the...

You're the first person I've seen post this - EXACT same description I give my humming/buzzing feeling, even down to the "almost physical feeling". Have you ever attempted to diagnose what the humming actually is? Is it part of T? I also have Hyperacusis. Weird thing is - If I plug my ears...

1.) What ear(s) is your T in? Both ears with an emphasis on my right. 2.) Would you describe the sound as coming from the ear or do you find it is coming from inside your head (and where in the head- middle, side, back. etc.)? Inside my head, but occasionally both ears...

I've had tinnitus of 8,000Hz for 9 months now. However, 2 weeks ago I developed low frequency tinnitus in my left ear. It feels like something is actually vibrating in my ear but I'm not sure. Could be stapedial myoclonus but it's hard to tell. At first I only noticed it at night where it...

Maybe the antidepressant is causing it? Weird how it comes out of the blue.

Thank you for the reply. Since last time I wrote, it has become better. But still there. One of the big reliefs is that at least the sounds are now sounding from inside my ears (now mainly just my right ear), and not from distance which was way more annoying. I've become more suspicious that...

...quite. Have you guys experienced this too? I'm a bit scared because it is one of the symptoms of Meniere's, along with tinnitus and the low humming, which I still have coming up randomly... I will get my second Pfizer shot this week and next week I will start to do the steroid spray for the...

Hello.. I can't believe what you've just described.. your T is identical to mine. Read my welcome post. I only came here last week because after 7 years of high pitched ringing in both ears I've started with a low rumble. I can only hear it at home and its constantly being interrupted by the...

Yeah, basically it can be immediately inhibited by certain level of low sound, it requires different amount depending on how strong it is that day. You may not notice it on holiday at all for example due to outside sound or hotel A/C. Or people who live in NY definitely wouldn't even know if...

Hi everyone! I introduced myself a while ago, and explained that I developed a low pitched humming in my right ear after an upper respitory virus that clogged my ears. It's been about a month with ear fullness and humming. Based on Google searches and reading lots of posts here, I suspect I...

I have similar symptoms as well - I had high pitched tinnitus start earlier in the year, followed shortly thereafter by a low frequency car idling / humming sound in one ear that is similar to what others describe on this forum. Oddly, being in louder environments seems to inhibit the hum for a...

Is there anything I can do to reduce it? I'm on Fluoxetine (Prozac) currently I've gone through a few and Prozac seems to be the one so far (haven't been on it long) that's helping me, well not affecting my tinnitus anyway. Yes I hear the humming everywhere, less when I'm out, though maybe...

...MY OTHER EAR TOO!!!! lol...So both ears are affected by it....but get this....I can only hear the right side all the time everyday in a low humming.....in the left side I can only hear it with my earplugs in and only when I look down....when I'm in a neutral position it goes away the left...

...unlinked. Recently I bought a subwoofer and put it into my car. I noticed that after playing music for around 30 minutes I would get a low humming sound in my ears afterwards that would last for maybe 30 mins. I tested the decibels of the music, and it was only 75 decibels average, so not...

I did have fleeting low frequency T. It would sound like an engine or thunder. Mostly felt like humming on the back of my neck. It would stop went I spoke then come back. It did this for several months off and on. It would come stay for a few days then leave. One time it stayed 15 days. About...

Gotcha same as me at the moment. And high pitched sounds are uncomfortably loud. My current theory about the humming sounds is that somewhere in those sounds are high pitched frequencies. And it is those high frequencies that are causing my tinnitus to react. I suspect if you could EQ out the...

I gave a new low pitched drown. Feels like my head is humming. Around 92 hz. It has been with me almost 24/7 these last few days. I feel like I am constantly gaining new sounds and it sucks beyond imagination. It almost feels different then regular T like the feeling you get when you let blood...

I think it could go smth like this: you reading horror stories online - lid falling down - you thinking "now it will get worse" - t "getting" worse.

I have low frequency humming tone in my right ear that is not constant. There is a slight shift in the more high pitched sound in my left as well, but not as pronounced. I did a test in my bath tub. I went under water, and when I started hearing my heart beat it seemed like the shift in the T...

Both, separate but primarily together. I have hyperacusis and tinnitus, and this makes the tinnitus spike both temporarily and permanently to low level noise, we're talking fridge humming levels. I'm effectively confined to total isolation, in hearing protection all hours of the day. I usually...

It sounds as though you've loads of tension in your neck and shoulders which must be contributing to things so it may be a good idea to have some sort of therapy to relax those areas. Sounds to me as though everything you describe is anxiety/tension/stress related and I used to have every one of...

April 28, 1996 is when my life changed. While watching TV on an otherwise normal evening, I started to hear what sounded like a high-pitched hissing somewhere in the room. I thought it was coming from the TV, but after hitting the mute button on the remote, I discovered it was coming from inside...

It seems I've reached another stage in my 13 month humming/drone journey. This morning when I woke up I noticed my usual (for 13 months now) 4/10 (when in rest) drone would go all the way up to 12 after I spoke a few words to my girlfriend (I have a very low voice). It would die down back to...

Very sorry to hear that @OnceUponaTime. If you wobble your head side to side does it stop for a split second? Clonazepam helped to relax the middle ear muscles which in turn made the sound go away for a while. But more and more it just shuts up for even days at a time and then comes back.

Oh wow. Seriously, wear earplugs when you ride the train. Also, you should try a pizza place called Pizza School. They are everywhere. Definitely try some real Korean food too. There are these restaurants called kimbap cheonguks all over the place. Definitely try some of those. They serve stuff...

Hi Michael. Like you, I also contracted tinnitus in April 1996. It was the 28th at 1:09 am. I was watching TV when I suddenly began hearing a high-pitched hissing. I though it was coming from the TV, so I muted the volume. It was then I realized the noise was coming from inside my head. A few...

Thanks, this is helpful. Do you know if the device could be helpful for low frequency / humming tinnitus or is this more targeted towards the traditional higher pitched ringing tinnitus?

I have multitone, 7 years and ive never habituated to the tinnitus, probably because it changes and gets progressively worse. So now i just mask it using as low a volume as i can. I have a small fan heater on too mask mid tones, and for bass I use a surround sound system with a recording of...

...I have tinnitus from time to time. Sometimes I have a very high pitched steady sound but it never lasts long. My main complaint is a low humming sound that sounds like being on a diesel powered boat. It comes and goes and drives me crazy. At present it is gone. Does anyone have this happen...

Funny thing happened recently. I heard a new kind of humming and thought that I had a new thing going on. Then I looked out the window and there was a car idling in front of my house. So similar. Not so funny is that today my ear cramping issue came back again. I woke up this morning with worse...

I always end up disappointed when I try to be positive and have hopes about my tinnitus. But well, I'll see the situation in a few weeks.

Yes this is brutal sick and horrible. I sometimes get a rumbling noise like my head is almost shaking. If it peaks this early I hope to heaven it dies away, or stops completely. Not months of this terror. As I hear the rumbling, I can pull in low frequency harmonics in other sounds ffs. I hope...

I have all of those same sounds too. I find the lawnmower to be the most infuriating.

I went to a concert last Monday, the 16th, and another one on Tuesday, the 17th. But I didn't notice anything until Saturday, the 21st. The first show was pretty loud, Parquet Courts was the band. The second show wasn't very loud at all, Snarky Puppy was the band. I did some more reading...

I must admit, I spent one evening with my ex girlfriend and when I lied in bed, my tinnitus was at a minimum, I had been off of work for a couple of weeks but it was the first night the new low hum noise disappeared, came back two days later after driving but still. That evevining my tinnitus...
