    Hearing Loss and Severe Tinnitus — From Loving Life to Suicidal in 2 Months

    The only thing consistent with tinnitus is inconsistency. I think going to a restaurant is too uncontrolled to be safe for someone with relatively new tinnitus, but you will find your limits by experience. The hard thing for me was linking the experience to my tinnitus level, as there was...

    Anyone with MES (Musical Ear Syndrome) / Musical Tinnitus?

    @ItsNate101 Last night while I was in my bed I heard something very similar to a distant female choir in my head. One of the interesting things is that during that sound electrical hiss tinnitus (in the head) stopped. I didn't even notice that until sound of choir stopped. I thought I was...

    Somatic Tinnitus

    https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/somatic-tinnitus.812/page-3#post-253485 It's a good introduction: Many get this form of T, from nerve damage. Nerve and Jaw dental trauma will cause this type of T quite often. Then come the neck pain, jaw pain head ache, face pain and you name it. Some back...

    Bent Cochlear Cilia

    If it's somatic physical tinnitus - yes as in link above, Somatic physical tinnitus start with forceful or strained movement of head, neck and/or jaw. Small acoustic signals are generated. The immune system can also be weak with infection which can react to many many parts of the ear...

    What Caused My New Low-Pitched Vibrating Hum? Should I See an ENT and Try Steroids?

    Interesting. About 15 or so years ago I got the low rumbling truck engine ticking over on idle sound when I used a foam earplug to block out a neighbour's dog barking at 6 am every day. That noise then used to only come out for a month or so when I was sick with a cold. I would do everything to...

    Tinnitus from Concussion

    ...it's common knowledge in tinnitus communities that audiologist are wrong about hearing loss (they do not keep up to date with hearing loss research) http://hyperacusisfocus.org/innerear/#hiddenloss Because your tinnitus was caused by head trauma you may be a exception and not have hearing loss.
