So what's your theory/mechanism whereby steroids cause dysacusis? An autoimmune disorder? I do have a defective adrenal gland, and my hearing got worse with each (2) courses of Prednisone I did. I'm never touching that shit again. It gave me a bunch of low tones too. And now I've got white...

Anything disturbing cochlear blood supply in theory should hit your lowest frequencies first (they are most vulnerable as they are fed with the smallest capillaries). High frequencies whilst more metabolic get plenty of oxygen, so that damage is usually metabolic (ROS). Similar thing happens...

@Ben Winders, it’s OK. I know this is a possibility. When this happened to you, was it caused by any loud sound or new damage? Did it just happen randomly? I’m wondering if steroids would be helpful. Definitely not something I want to take unless absolutely necessary. I had a Tele consult with...

Sorry to hear. I have the same hum, as I mentioned above. I have been thinking about trying a medication to get rid of it, I wonder if I should try Effexor. I think I can habituate to the tinnitus and my hyperacusis is improving, but the humming is impossible to ignore most of the time.

I know it is highly individual, but trust me, there are types of low frequency tinnitus which is awfully hard to cope with. Mine is lower and more hollow than the refrigerator, sounds like thumping, rumbling, foghorn, idling motor, and so loud and vibrating, that it makes me suicidal. It also...

Keep us updated! I'll most likely make a trip sometime this coming November or February next year.

Hi. I have an update to share. As you know, I developed a new noise in October. Low-level humming that has been there ever since. It varies in intensity and just appeared randomly. I am so frightened because yesterday another noise was added to the cacophony of noises I already had. My tinnitus...

...left ear is the worst. It also makes valsalva by itself multiple times a day when I belch or something. My right ear recently developed a low humming sound, which is really annoying too. I’m worried that this will increase my tinnitus and destroy things further in my ears. Anyone else with...

I see, hope it will get better with time for you! :) If there is anything that can mask it that would do me wonders in the day, do any of you use hearing aid maskers to mask over the humming? Regarding sleep, the other night I was able to sleep with no sound enrichment but last night the...

@Phendran, it sounds as if your tinnitus might be somatic-sensory. How is it these days? By the way, I lived in Stockholm for a year. It's a beautiful city.

...TTTS. I don't know if the symptoms are similar to yours but perhaps you can search the forum and there will be more advice on those threads. My heart goes out to you. It's awful. I too have something odd (low humming bass tones day and night) that also hurt my eardrum. Klonopin helps me at...

I have noticd the same! A low hum, like an engine or two in the far distance, sometimes humming with interference, at night when everything is quiet. And it stops when I put my fingers in my ears for a couple of seconds. Then it starts again after a few seconds.

Many people (with low hum tinnitus) have this effect of LONG residual inhibition. I even emailed about this effect to one of the people that researched residual inhibition with tinnitus sufferers but he said he found it very peculiar that my inhibition could last for a couple hours (after being...

Well said, loudness is all that matters. "Child's play" that I've suffered for nearly 7 years will very soon be the end of me. So unless you've experienced severe low frequency please don't jump into making dismisive conclusions like that.

Yes I am still suffering from it, but I'm a minority: most people don't have a severe version of it. You will probably be fine whether it completely disappears (which is likely) or if it stays but slowly fades out of your consciousness.

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...

Hi Rob, I have this same hum. Unfortunately, it started low like you describe yours...but two years after it got much louder and now I can hear it everywhere. Masking is possible when air conditioning is on, near fridge, when in the car, when airplanes go by, with fan on and such. Below is a...

Good afternoon, fellow sufferers, I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis about a month after my second COVID jab (not saying it was the jab, by the way). It started as a low-pitched hum, like a car speaker playing deep bass. I searched my house and even the surrounding area, trying to find the...

After 1-2 weeks of 200 mg of Tegretol or 300 mg of Trileptal I noticed the effect. The low humming was nearly gone unless I "awake" it by car ride, pressing the bad ear, expose to vibrations etc... When I stopped taking the drugs, it returned. Now I am trying Ambroxol as experimented by some...

I also have low frequency humming sound (like a motor) in my head, and it disappears when I make a humming sound with my own voice. The humming in my head re-appears about half a second or a second after I stop making sound with my voice. My tinnitus (humming sound) is probably a side-effect of...

Yeah - being talked to and shaking my head in a "no" manner stops my hum. Having a very low volume ventilation on during the day keeps my hum completely away. At night I keep a laptop on with VERY low volume humming noise and it keeps my hum away. Last time I heard my hum being REALLY loud was...

Mine is similar to this. It sounds like a car idling in my head. I can actually feel it. But only in silence, like when trying to sleep, of course.

Like I said, most everybody disagrees. And most everybody is stunned to find out that they are wrong. So let's talk about it after you have actually done the experiment. stephen nagler

Day 19 of ringing, first week High pitch ringing cried every night, couldn't sleep. Last week I can sleep and it's now several different tones, low pitch ringing on and off and like a humming/ chainsaw/ static. Every now and then ( knock on wood) my right ear will ring sometimes high sometimes...

Dear members - I wonder if I could ask if anyone had the same experience. I started to have humming tinnitus that I notice in September this year. That first time it was in one ear and pulsatile and disappeared in a few hours after I had some Ibuprofen, it was just as I felt I was getting a...

I guess this could be true. I am a little skeptical that the solution is so easy but it’s possible. The TMJ could impact the Eustachian tubes and that one cause but in reality it much more complicated than this. My low drone had gone away and now it’s back along with hyperacusis after a chiro...

...air pressure imbalance. After trying various tips, tricks, and hacks on YouTube, nothing helped. A few days later, I started hearing a low humming sound around 50-80 Hz in that same ear. At first, I thought it was generator at a nearby construction site until I was in a quiet spot and the...

...my neck. I felt a stabbing pain from my neck straight up to my head. Two days later I had terrible neck pain, the worst headaches I've ever had, and the low humming became really loud. I did physical therapy for about 3 months. I got better about 6 months later. Hope you feel better soon. Once

Yep, you can. My T changes almost everyday. Sometimes one sound at higher frequency, sometimes many across multiple frequencies from low to high. Usually acoustic incidences cause a temporary hum or whoosh over the top which almost feels like a physical sensation as opposed to just sound - like...

Forever Hopeful, As someone who has had tinnitus since 1996, I can tell you that it doesn't always get worse as you age. I'm 61, and my hearing is "perfectly normal" (according to my ENT) for someone my age. I started hearing a high-pitched hissing 26 years ago this month for reasons that were...

One of the few books by Rousseau that I have not read, so I did not know this. Thanks.

I've had a loud, low-pitched hum since 1996 that I can feel. It's mainly in my right ear, but I can also feel the humming sensation going down my throat. On most days, the humming will envelop my entire head. It's a living hell. I've been to a ton of doctors and had every medical test in the...

No real side effects that I have noticed. I think I have more energy when I take it. Things were really quiet for a while but I got my first shot of Pfizer on Friday and don’t know if it was that or a new medication I started that has ramped up the noise a bit. Without a doubt though the last...

@glennr Glenn I had a low hum that seem to vibrate the side of my head too and I went to my Doc he gave me prednizone and in 3 days it was gone Hang in there

It's so strange that more and more people talk about this weird tinnitus. I had it in 2016, 2017, 2019, each time around 1-3 weeks. Low, buzzing, humming, idle motor like sound, only in my left ear, awfully low in frequency, but awfully loud in volume. And it felt like that it was actually...

A loud very low frequency humming, some mid frequency noise and then a loud classic high pitch eeee tone. That is what I can distinguish. Anyhow this is off-topic.

It's natural to pay attention to these things if you already pay a lot of attention to your ears and their health because of tinnitus or hyperacusis. After developing a new terrifying humming sound, I am now hyper aware of other low bass freq sounds that were always there but that I had no...

No parties? That's worse than T ;) Seriously, glad you are having a low T day. I woke up to 3/10 and about a 2 or so now....a livable level. Be well Sam.

Hi Makrohn I’m constantly on this forum looking for support . My right ear has a sort of hurst girdy(it’s a fair ground) which I’ve had for a long time. It’s now joined by a low screech, tinkling and a hum. The other ear has now joined in with humming, a low wind blowing noise and the tinkling...

T for almost 2 years and it did get well but now i hate my live. Have a new sound, a low humming sound en it is al over my head and nothing can cover it up. Dont now what to do. I have a nasty cold and i pray that when my cold gets better the sound settle down. And on top of that i have a...

With heat, massage, and most importantly the mouth guard, I’d say within a week to ten days it was completely gone. Have not heard it since. And I had it bad. I am so grateful this fixed it.

Hi Shasta, I don't really hear it much when outside or in a car. I haven't put an earplug in as don't want to make anything worse. External noise does seem to mask it.

...is going by the ear? I have had regular tinnitus tones on and off for years, but they were never 24/7 without a break and they were never low humming bass tones. If someone has a story similar and has any advice on dealing with the fast irregular, deep scary tones, please let me know and thanks.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Influential eighteenth century political philosopher. From "Confessions" (1780) "...a great noise started up in my ears, a noise that was triple or rather quadruple, compounded of a low and muffled humming, a softer murmuring as though of running water, a piercing...

About 5 different sounds. A constant low hiss which seems to be at the back of my head and somtimes sounds like it shifts from ear to ear now and again. A sound like a pc humming. A sound like a low ratteling which is similer to listening into a sea shell. A low buzzing like a bug is flying...

Hi @aikok. Your post is reminiscent of someone I, and other members helped back in 2016, when he developed severe tinnitus and hyperacusis due to exposure to loud noise from a fire alarm. At the end of this post, please click on the link and read: From Darkness Into Light. It is @Jason C's...

For some reason I didn't read this post. I certainly have forward head posture, static hissing and sporadically clogged ears. Also - I work on a MacBook 8 hours per day. I should probably connect an external screen so I look a bit "higher" than just down at my MacBook the whole time. Usual...

If you live in a nation with socialized medicine and you must wait a year for a simple hearing test, then that is a warning to Americans. Here you may have to pay for it, but you can schedule a hearing test for the same day with an audiologist. Wait a year? OMG. I have the humming all the...

@DaveO High-pitched tinnitus is "easy" to diagnose because it's almost invariably tied, to some extent, to high frequency hearing loss -- which typically occurs before low-frequency loss. However, low-frequency "humming" T can certainly be a symptom of low frequency loss (I think this is what...

I've posted my story in other threads, but this thread is specific to our common enemy. In April 1996, I started hearing a high-pitched hissing in my head. After countless medical and hearing tests and MRIs, no cause or abnormalities were found, and I had no hearing loss. Eventually, I...

@Jerad, thinking in agreement from your introduction post, including residual inhibition, that your problem is ear related. This is what I found from more study research. Downward deflection from using an inversion table could cause the elastic basilar membrane to move down and also increase...

So sorry to hear this. Maybe is TTTs??? Myself and others in the group have this form of t. Can you mask it?? I hope and pray it goes away for you.

After the noise trauma I’ve got really sensitive to noise. I was at my worst when this audiogram was made, back in July 2019. I was literally house bound at that time. Even if my audiogram looks good I have multiple tinnitus sounds. When I was at my worst I had 10 different tones, high...

Gfturner, I have the same thing! I have what started as a low humming that changes to a sound like a lawnmower and then sometimes like multiple car alarms or someone playing random notes on an organ. I haven't read nearly anything about tones like these, it seems like most people have a steady...

Yea I think so too. I just don't remember how high pitched it was in the beginning. At times it's hissing/humming sound then at times it'll be a low ring.. and lately idk y but I get these small headaches .. but I think it has something to do with my neck maybe I'm just thinking too much into it

@MariaH you just described what I had two weeks ago! Low humming, strong feeling in the whole head, I think I got it from medication. I had it for a 1.5 week, but it went away! I hope yours goes away too. I know how it is, the sound was so different, so low, like some one drilling on the other...

For me, the low frequency noise has been the noise hardest to get used to because the moment you think it's less noticeable the neighbour's subwoofer sets it off once again, or one of those horribly oversized agricultural machines drives by, as, unfortunately, they do here like 50 times a day at...

I've read some older threads here, but it seems to me that the answers were all very different. I thought, let's give it another try in 2021. So I'm 21 years old, and thanks to homeopathy I "manage" my tinnitus quite well (I do have spikes sometimes, but on an everyday basis I hear a...

Yeah donno, think I might have it in both the ears now... :( Mita

I've had a gas heater on lately with the cold weather here and it seems to help mask my tinnitus pretty good. It has a low humming sound, do you think this could possibly make T worse? I've had a spike recently and I just wanna make sure it isn't from this, I doubt it is but you never know. But...
