Hidden hearing loss yes, central hearing loss from head trauma, no. I will have to look into that. Thanks!

Thank you for replying. I am about five months into dealing with tinnitus following gunshot acoustic trauma to one ear. Initially, I had very mild hyperacusis, which faded after about a month. The aural fullness has improved by around 80 percent over the past four months. I also have mild...

For many people (including myself), the head movement affects a lot the tinnitus volume, this is called somatic tinnitus. Mine increases by rotating the head to left/right and moving my jaw in front. My hyperacusis and tinnitus are from acoustic trauma also.

I got hyperacusis and tinnitus after a TBI (head trauma) so I second this.

Thank you for your reply, @Nettles. It sounds like you’re going through something very similar. I’ve experienced the same issue with songs—it felt like I had an MP3 playing in my ears for a few minutes. I’ve stopped listening to music because I’m afraid it will stick in my brain. The phrase...

...of noise. I feel a very moderate amount of pressure in the center of my head and always have a headache, none of which is related to any head trauma, congestion or sinus. My depression and anxiety is worse than ever. I am suicidal. I am at my wits end. I have very little support. Its not...

Any insights you've found in your time with this? My tinnitus has only two levels: on or off. If my environment is even 1 decibel below my masking threshold, the tinnitus goes full blast, but once it hits this threshold, it completely turns off. Not all of my tinnitus is like this; it is just...

Suicide rates in the military are alarmingly high. I believe tinnitus is the #1 disability claim among veterans. Sadly, not everyone in the military is able to survive this struggle.

So this acoustic trauma happened over a year ago and your spike is still subsiding? That gives me some hope as I'm 2.5 months into a spike and I haven't seen any improvement.

I remember stretching my neck before swimming and noticing I could "hear" a high-pitched tone as I twisted my head around. This was exactly three weeks prior to my onset, eight years ago. I thought it had to be really tough to deal with the condition and just three weeks later... BAM! Maybe I...

Pretty worried about upcoming hearing test. I had one a day after the acoustic trauma. But right ear feels weaker…hope it’s just in my head

Welcome to the forum @jazzcatt. Head trauma is a well known cause for causing tinnitus. If there is not enough response to you, you can try to post it to the main support forum or just search the forums with 'head trauma'. There have been much discussion on this in the past as in below link. So...

Hi everyone, I decided to join this forum because, about four days ago, I had a run-in with a loud noise that caused a significant increase in the ringing in both of my ears. I've had tinnitus from acoustic trauma since I was around 14—I'm 18 now—so I know I need to take any noise exposure...

Yes.

Thinking about how Tavares gets kneed in the head and is ok while I experienced emotional trauma and get tinnitus and visual snow syndrome.

I would like to talk to you, I also have severe tinnitus from a head trauma.

It would be interesting to know whether the hyperacusis that causes the tensor tympani muscle to vibrate and hurt on sound input after a history of sound shock/trauma is equivalent to inner ear pain hyperacusis. Norena also mentions inflammation/contraction of the nerves innervating the tensor...

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...

T from head trauma is indeed a league of it's own. It's totally different than noise induced tinnitus. Post concussion Tinnitus can last any where from weeks, months or even some cases years. Most doctors are now just beginning to understand head trauma and Tinnitus. Here's a good read...

Thank you Billie!

Wasn’t your head tinnitus gone after Korea?

Hang in there brother, if there was no associated noise trauma, these spikes usually settle down, and even with noise trauma it could also settle down.

Hello, everyone! I joined these boards about a month ago and made an introductory post about a week after an event that I had believed to cause my tinnitus. I had initially believed my tinnitus to have been caused by an acoustic trauma. To sum it up, I went to see the movie Dunkirk in standard...

Since this thread has surfaced again, and after reading all comments once again, my heart goes out to all who have experienced trauma. "The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma" — Judith Herman...

It took a month or two to resolve. It comes back occasionally if I am very stressed. I recently had a head cold and it came back then, but resolved when my congestion cleared up. I wondered about hydrops in the past, especially closer to the acoustic trauma because my ears would have a "wet"...

Do you have TMD, or cervical issues? head trauma

Do you have hearing loss, TMD, cervical issues, head trauma?

My mom. She got it from a head trauma.

do you have jaw problems, TMD, cervical (upper spine issues)? Head trauma?

Welcome to the forum. It seems that head trauma or head injury has been cited as a cause for tinnitus. If there is not enough response here in the Introduction area, you can try to post about it on the main support forum. You can also try to do a search on 'head trauma' on all prior discussions...

Hello Everyone! My name is Kriszti, I'm 31 and I'm from Eastern Europe. Here is my tinnitus (?) story an I have some questions at the end. In 2016, my left ear rang for 2 weeks, went to audiology, ended up with an Eustach tube problem, but the ringing stopped. At the beginning of 2017, it made...

Hi Josh, Do you still have T. Please provide an update on your T caused by Trauma. I can relate to you since my T also started 50 days after head trauma.

Was that rattlesnake's tail sound, all over the top of your head, due to hearing loss? I have that two, sometimes three days a week. It's very hard to deal with. It started as a spike, and then has kept coming back. Mine started from a very bad mechanical trauma to the middle ear muscles. It is...

My first session starts on 4th September. I also thought about blood flow, because I can actually hear blood flow in there and it does feel heavy, like I can feel blood moving around. A strange sensation. It's quite bad :( But this wouldn't cause a long term issue?

Airbag trauma from head on collision most likely. It set in a month after the hyperacusis began on 6/19.

Lp is lumbar puncture. I had high intracranial pressure after head trauma.

Days like today, in my head. Like an electrical wire has been jammed in it. It's not particularly loud all the time, but reacts to everything. Other days it's extremely quiet and tonal and I don't even notice it Basically a day of what I had before this second acoustic trauma in January (mild)...

...and to offer my condolences for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one. I know that tinnitus can be caused by many things: Head Trauma, Hearing Loss, Ototoxic Medicine, etc.. Am I, and by extension, other members of this forum, more likely to suffer tinnitus spikes from these...

Thanks for your reply. I’ve decided not to go ahead with getting grommets. There’s definitely both an ear-related and psychiatric component to all of this. Fortunately, my best mate is a psychiatrist, and he's helped me with some medication for sleep. On three occasions now, the tinnitus has...

In my opinion, if you truly have the makings of real improvement with treatment with a few patients, you’d have no problem asking them to share their “progress” so far on video or even through written testimony. Doesn’t have to be full success, just something to show incoming patients. So I...

Thank you, @Michael Leigh. May I ask why you decided to see an ENT for the first time after your symptoms had cleared up rather than at the onset when you also sought help from an herbalist? By the way, your hyperacusis thread is very informative. I also believe that exposing your ears to...

You can get T from the sound the airbag makes as well as the head trauma.

...Have you had abnormal bleeding? Has your doctor checked your hemoglobin levels? It's interesting that you say the MRI tech noted head trauma. That can be a potential cause of tinnitus. However, it doesn't quite make sense to get a "whoosh" from head trauma. There are websites for...

http://www.quietridehelmets.com/ Standard helmets are designed to protect against head trauma, and not noise protection. I would recommend to combine earplugs, with a helmet designed to reduce noise as well, if/when you decide to ride again.

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...

Do you have any history of noise exposure, ototoxic medicines, do you have TMD, cervical issues, or head trauma?

@IAmCalifornia how loud is your T? Do you have hearing loss, TMD? Neck problems? Head Trauma?

I'm wondering if a blood vessel could compress the 8th nerve due to head trauma? Thanks.

Hello, I am a single woman in my mid-50s with very little history of noise exposure. Life was great, but things changed last August 6. I took a lesson at an indoor firing range while wearing earmuff hearing protection, but I did not know I should double up with earplugs. During the lesson...

No.

I really hope it's head trauma, and can go away. Better safe than sorry.

I have T due to head Trauma. One of those surprise attacks from behind by 2 criminals.

@The Red Viper Given your username I always just assumed it was from head trauma.

100% stress can be the trigger that causes tinnitus. There are papers on this and in particular to women who endure extreme mental trauma for long period getting tinnitus. I also have reactive tinnitus and constant ear crackles. Stress over long periods raises cortisol. Your brain cells become...

Thank you for the kind words and advice; there is one thing I keep ruminating about. Before the tinnitus turned into dysacusis, I was using this video by a channel called “Art of Zen” called “Ultra High Pitch Tinnitus Therapy.” DO NOT check it out without setting the volume WAY down, as I...

Not that I know of...

Bonjour Pierre, Honestly, I don't know where to draw the line between loudness hyperacusis and pain hyperacusis. After my initial incident, noises in places like restaurants, walking on the street, or even singing birds seemed far too loud for me. If something is too loud, it hurts. Your body...

Hi All, I'm now 11 weeks into my struggle with tinnitus, hyperacusis (pain mostly) and TTTS. Tinnitus My tinnitus seems to have settled slightly or I'm just getting used to it? I can only really hear it in quiet rooms so I'm lucky in that respect (I know others have it much worse). I used to...

Sharpfire - not all tinnitus is due to ear problems. Mine is from a car accident - head & neck trauma.
