...and I think that's the cause of my tinnitus. It came on suddenly one night while I was lying in bed. Earlier that day, I had a head injury and possible ear damage from noise and shouting. The doctors didn't give me proper information and I ended up taking medication and antibiotics that could...

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...

I recently had a head injury at work. I was hit in the back of the right ear, About 2 weeks after the accident, I started hearing a loud ringing in my left ear. Tried marijuana, it made it worse, causes anxiety. Anyone experience tinnitus after head injury?

Likewise, @Strife_84. I can be working an 80-hour stressful week or meditating for ten days, and neither has any impact on the constant whine in my head. That’s what made me realize this is truly a physical injury in my case, caused by acoustic trauma.

Just over 5 weeks ago I was assaulted by 7 guys where I was knocked down. I can remember the initial punch but not sure if they hit me many more times after that. I don't think I was unconscious. I thought the next day I was fairly ok, bit of bump on my head, sore jaw, stiff neck and sore beside...

Dear Dr. Nagler- From your experience of dealing with hundreds of Tinnitus patients, some by noise and some by other causes such as head injury i'm wondering from your expert opinion how a head injury causes Tinnitus? Whether it be head injury, chin injury, minor or mild concussion i'm curious...

...8 (brain bleed and skull fractures). I noticed the tinnitus the day I came home from the hospital. It’s been about 2 months and I want to believe it’s faded a bit, but that might just be habitation, or denial. Anyone here develop head injury induced tinnitus, with positive outcomes? Thanks...

...hit right side of my head during a bad fall. Tinnitus has been getting milder and milder the past 6 months. T is only in the right ear. first 3 months absolute nightmare. what are chances from your experience of dealing with head injuries and tinnitus? will head injury induced tinnitus...

Hello friends, Could I ask you if its possible to develop Tinnitus a few weeks after having Neck/Head injury? What I mean to ask is whether is it necessary for the Tinnitus to begin immediately after the accident or can it suddenly start about 6-7 weeks after the accident? Also, what are the...

...dizziness and very mild vertigo from the injury at the time. This was a 90-minute appointment that included his experience with head injury (he is a professor at the local university), the contribution of a fellow who is studying under him, and my wife (who happens to be a family physician)...

Backstory: I have had tinnitus for around 5 years now. I was more or less habituated with a couple of bumps here and there until a little over 3 weeks ago. I had a lot of trauma all at once, I suppose. I got an MRI for issues with my shoulder (I wore double hearing protection), I went to this...

Hey all, I’m new here and this is my story so far. I’m a 33-year-old male. I went snowboarding with my family on the 24th of February; my board is pretty old, so when I approached the bottom of the slope, I decided to go straight to get as much speed as I could to reach the lifts without having...

I have had the ringing in ears since 2014. I hear music alot...sometimes wish it was a song I knew...lol.. Trama to left side of head. 100 staples, neck & spine injury. Santa Ana Windstorm. I was hit by the roof over the gas pumps from a gas station. I jumped out of my vehicle to help someone...

In March I fell off my bike, broke my left collarbone and luckily the over ear headphones I was wearing protected my head. I know I should have been wearing a helmet, but I was reckless. I don't remember any issues with my left ear at the time, I was mainly worried about my collarbone, which has...

This neck injury is no joke. I can feel my head burning from the nerve pain. It sucksssssss.

I’m sort of in panic mode over this tinnitus. It’s been almost 10 weeks. My left ear has been thru a lot. Traumatic head/brain injury led to my ear bleeding for 2 days, then ended up with unilateral tinnitus. I fractured several bones around my left ear. I’m trying to stay hopeful and believe it...

Hi all, I developed tinnitus a year ago after stifling three sneezes. I felt a buzzing in my head, so I assume it’s some kind of brain or nervous system injury. I have no issues with my ears or hearing loss. My stress level is low at the moment, and my tinnitus has significantly improved...

Hi guys my name is josh and I was diagnosed with tinnitus shortly after being in a motorcycle accident. I sufferd severe injuries to the pelvis and femurs but the main issue now is the fact that I have gained tinnitus from the mtbi that I sustained. and at the age of 18 I find myself...

Hello! I hit my head several months ago and got tonic tensor tympani syndrome, which is clicking/thumping in the ear. Anyone with experience? Has it gone away? Anyone done the surgery? Thanks! Ludde

Well, last night I had another accident wherein I put my head too far back when getting on my pillow (couldn't see where I was putting my head). I believe the accident caused my neck to have a hyper-extension incident, even though the height difference between the 2 pillows was minimal. End...

That does sound unpleasant. I hope you can find some relief. I do not have a physical injury, but I experienced some audio trauma three or four months ago. I know there are some surgeries available, but they can be quite risky depending on the procedure. My TTTS (or possibly something else)...

My tinnitus started on January 7th, 2017 at 11 PM after I hit the back of my head against the wall, hard enough to knock me out for a couple minutes. Immediately afterward I had tinnitus in my right ear. One year later the tinnitus started in the left ear as well. Left ear is bearable but...

Hello all, good morning. I first registered here over a year ago. My tinnitus is the result of being struck by an SUV as a pedestrian the night of Valentine's Day 2019. The driver fled the scene but was caught, he is still in jail. He left me laying there close to a busy intersection with a...

Thank you so much for sharing. The neurologist I saw last week told me that the auditory nerve could take four to six months to heal. My injury happened during an MRI due to improper ear protection. The doctor said it was an acute trauma, a one-time event, and that it should completely resolve...

Hello, @Jambo, yes, my hum is constant, with some variation. I've always described it as sounding like a subwoofer that is constantly vibrating. Short car rides make it worse for me. As soon as I get out of the car and walk into the house, it feels like drums banging away. But interestingly...

...I keep getting this head rush and also this pressure in my head when bending over and getting back up or bending over in general. Do some kinds of Tinnitus have head pressure issues or something like that? Oh vertigo was not due to a head injury they thought it was an inner ear issue. Thanks

...a lot of training in hearing loss nor neurology. In November 2014 I had a syncopal episode which caused me to fall suffering a severe head injury. I had a basal skull fracture through my L temporal bone with a small extradural and contracoup injury to my R frontotemporoparietal lobes...

I’m frustrated like everyone else who has PT. If you want to cut to the chase and see what my question is, then go to the last paragraph, otherwise, here’s my story: I had a head to head collision playing soccer. I came in with speed and hit heads with an almost stationary player... we were...

I wish I could, but my life has turned into a kind of hell I never thought possible. I performed a TFI test and scored 90/100. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone score that high before. My tinnitus has gotten progressively worse over the past week. It’s so loud that I hear it clearly on my left...

Sorry to butt in. It has been two years since my injury, and I feel that my middle ear — or rather the membrane — is in worse condition. It feels loose. The trigeminal nerve has been damaged because I feel pressure on the right side of my head — above the eye, below the eye, and around the ear...

...back to normal, especially if you don't focus on it, as this will make it less and less noticeable. The one success story I remember from head injury is from @Aaron. He suffered much more serious head injury induced tinnitus to the point he said he was suicidal. He was dumped by his fiancée...

I second the common advice to focus on calming your system, whether through medication, exercise, yoga, hot baths, or anything else that helps ease your emotional response. As for the crackling, because just like you, I started experiencing it after the onset of my tinnitus, I think in my case...

Apologies in advance, I'm afraid this post is going to be long. My suicidal thoughts are at an all-time high because of a paradox that I still can't resolve. I'm trying to cope with the knowledge that the lady who caused my acoustic injury is mad at me because I quit working for her, due to...

...it only if I feel it has not fully resolved by June. There are 81 little white pills in that bottle. He expects it to be completely gone by the 18-month mark, which is the normal course of tinnitus for someone who suffered a head injury. Thankfully, every other symptom has fully resolved by now.

:) Hello everyone, I had a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in April. I fell from the stairs and hit the back of my head. As a result I had a skull fracture, bleeding from the nose and the left ear. I was hospitalized for 10 days. I was ok at first, but suddenly hyperacusis and tinnitus appeared...

...the rest of the day. But my tinnitus has been loud ever since and I am so worried it won't subside again. My tinnitus is noise-induced, but I always hear horror stories about head injury tinnitus that never goes away. Do I have to expect a permanent spike? Anyone else had a similar...

Hi everybody! I wonder if there are people who have had a blast injury and recovered even later than a month after it happened. 4 weeks ago an idiot lit a firecracker near me, since then I have a tinnitus. First my left ear was a little deaf for a few minutes, then that went away, but the high...

...I am French. I hope the title of this discussion is clear enough. My tinnitus is the offspring of my meeting with a metal post! The head injury was violent because I touched the floor but I didn’t lost my mind. It happened on the 25th July, 2018. So, day after day, the tinnitus is becoming...

Friends, it has been a few months since my last post, and I have learned a few more things. Maybe we can do some detective work together. As I mentioned earlier, I have very similar low-frequency unilateral tinnitus in just my right ear. It is well masked by other low-frequency sounds, such as...

I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone and if it got better for them. I got tinnitus and hyperacusis almost a month ago due to acoustic trauma in my ear. That ear rang shrilly for over two weeks, then the ringing moved to my other ear. Now sometimes they both ring faintly or are almost...

Dear Doctor, I suffered from a head injury ( hit by a wall on top of my head) and suffered from a mild concussion in the following week. It has been a month since the incident and most of the concussion symptoms have subsided except low pitch constant tinnitus in my left ear and mild...

@KazM, how long after your head injury did you start experiencing brain/head tinnitus?

Has anyone here developed tinnitus in both ears or in the head after an infection or perforation in just one ear? Is it possible to perceive tinnitus in both ears even if only one ear is damaged?

I should also have mentioned that I suffered a head injury and broken neck in a car crash in 2015. That would still mean a delayed onset of tinnitus by several years, but I have read that either of those can be a possible cause. I dunno what it was exactly, but at this point, I just want some...

Neck vascular injury (Stenosis - Thrombosis) is a common cause of pulsatile tinnitus. Several non-neck or brain/head conditions can also be cause. If cause wasn't found above the shoulders, then other examinations is needed. @PTsufferer, can you give an area of injury? An injury can also cause...

I was in a car accident a couple of months ago. My head was turned to the left while I waited for cross traffic to clear. While waiting, I was rear ended at the stop sign. My head was really rattled. Just after impact, I started hearing persistent static in my head and experienced a...

My journey with tinnitus started in 2018 when I was involved in a motorcycle accident which caused a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). This resulted me to have two brain surgeries done craniotomy & craniectomy. I’m going to have another craniectomy again after this COVID-19 thing ends. Tinnitus has...

I am 44 years old and Friday, May 29 I took my family to a classic rock concert at a local civic arts auditorium. This is the first concert I have ever been to in my life. As soon as the show got underway it was quite obvious this was way too loud and beyond the advertised maximum 85 db in the...

...of alcohol abuse), but I became reasonably habituated and was only really having problems sleeping. A few months ago I suffered a minor head injury, and since then the volume has gone up 4x. Now I often can't sleep at all. I'm interested in therapies relating to anxiety, but have become more...

Warm welcome to the forum. That head injury may have caused your tinnitus. If there are not enough response to your post from guys with head injury related tinnitus, then do a search with 'head injury' and you will see lots of prior posts on it. Good luck. Take care. God bless.

Hi, With great regret I am now a Tinnitus Survivor. I want to say sufferer but I can't let this symptom rule my life. I am in healthcare and never really thought of tinnitus because people don't come to the ER with this. There were a few times I wanted to go the ER because it created an...

There is no connection! But who knows! People who are born with strabismus don't necessarily have tinnitus but if your strabismus is due to a head injury and you also get T that's because of the head injury.

I am new to the forum and came on because over the past couple years the tinnitus has increasingly gotten worse. The buzzing is so bad, I lose train of thought and need outside noise to deal with the constant buzzing. In 1998, I was playing Rugby on a club side for USA Rugby. Unfortunately...

@andrewsomatict, you get it - good post. For most with somatic issues- bad posture, then injury causing neck/back muscles spasms. Injury often comes from forward head motion force. From mechanics, all sorts of stuff can happen. More so - as time go on. Somatic spikes happen with head posture...

I know this is really tough. Believe me, I understand. We all do. Please do whatever you think is best for you. I truly hope things start to calm down, and I believe they can if you just give it some time. Hang in there, for your family and for yourself. I am rooting for you!
