Have you heard of hidden hearing loss or central hearing loss from head trauma?

Unfortunately not, as a matter of fact, my ENT won't even acknowledge that tinnitus can come from head trauma. He says I have hearing loss and that's what caused it.

I thought that too, yet it started after a head MRI and has been growing louder since then. I suspect noise trauma. That 250 Hz is the worst. Even benzos barely allow me to function.

Thank you, Michael. I have Oticon hearing aids with an ocean sound feature installed, but nothing I listen to can mask the terrible head noise I constantly experience. Now that the weather is nice, I walk outside, but even all the outdoor noise does not drown out the head noise. I watch TV, but...

Did your doctor not recommend vestibular physical therapy? Surprised they would immediately choose meds over physical therapy if not, or at least a combination of both.

...or brain. Unfortunately i also acquired a light/mild case of hypercusis where the T amplifies with certain sounds. Full recovery from head trauma is hit or miss. Some people get lucky and others don't. I think 1 year mark is the determinant. Careful with the Xanax! I've heard of many...

Definitely like the concussion simile. I know a guy locally who is a rugby player. He had loads of concussions. Went to see him fight a Thai boxing exhibition fight. One kick to the head and he was OUUUUUUUUT. Suffered massive memory loss after, kept re-introducing himself to people. There's no...

Hi all, I've had t for 7 weeks now caused by noise trauma, really hit me hard, appears to be in my right ear, although the noise has changed a lot from head buzzing and a high pitched noise to just high pitch noise, as of today this has increased significantly in volume and am back to panic...

...reply to private messages for some reason? But look at my second post, I answer some of your questions there. I have no ear pain, sounds don't seem loud to me at all. No history of neck or head trauma or brain issues. Only thing is that my jaw makes a clicky noise sometimes when I yawn or eat.

There will be never be one cure for all types of T. So many different reasons people get T. Head,neck trauma, noise induced,anxiety etc. All you socalled experts saying no about this and that treatment. Some of you think you know so much..but you dont know jack shit. What works for one...

Well damn, I have a bit of them now.

I think he means even across the frequencies, not between the ears. My hearing loss is fairly equally bilateral too, and I have a freakin’ orchestra of different tones and hisses in my head/ears. I think what mostly matters is how quickly and/or severe the trauma on your cells/synapses are. A...

I do not think it had to do with any pure tone audiometry hearing loss. My hearing is normal in the standard range. I have UHF loss, but had it before surgery. I didn’t lose any hearing from the surgery, as my before and after audiometry were almost identical.

@pinklights98 You may want to go see a TMJ specialist and get fitted for a nightguard. Recently I talked to a neuroscientist through Facebook who had just developed tinnitus from acoustic trauma himself (loud concert). He said that his t got so much better after he was fitted for nightguard...

Here are the links: This article talks about the symptoms of somatic tinnitus http://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/somatic-tinnitus/#.VMroctX3-ix Somatic tinnitus usually occurs in one ear only. There are a number of tinnitus properties that suggest a somatic component: 1 – Intermittency, 2...

I know where you're coming from. I've just come off two days of misery and it's semi reasonable today. I know during the night tonight it's going to ramp up for another 2 days of torture. And the cycle goes on and on.

I'm currently taking Topamax to control intracranial pressure and headaces due to head Trauma almost year ago.. I hate taking meds. All meds come with some long term side effects. No one knows if you take a particular med Trobalt etc..for 2 years what effect if will have on your kidneys...

I avoid going to bars and especially clubs where music is very loud and dumb girls grinding with any loser that walks by. My T is due to head trauma but since getting T if I go to a bar, club with out plugs my T spikes up the entire night. Fk T... before I would go to bars, clubs and never...

...the brain also has neuroplasticity, so under certain conditions it can compenstate. That's my take on it. Edit, well I shouldn't say brain damage unless head trauma, but maybe it goes into a hyperactive state which is very hard to reverse. Also I really doubt tinnitus is a government conspiracy.

One of the most common causes of hyperacusis is exposure to loud noise/acoustic trauma. Other things can cause it too. Head Injury Adverse reaction to medication or surgeries Chronic ear infections Auto immune disorders The side effects of drugs Lyme disease TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint...

It wuld be dilation of blood vessels which involves a change in blood vessel diameter. This is most always rapidly followed by a return to normal - 10 seconds or less. Turning or tilting head in a certain angle and pressing finger against one specific artery on side of neck, pulsatile tinnitus...

...Before my tinnitus i had terrible health anxiety for a few months so maybe that had also something to do with my onset ( together with my head trauma/cold or long time noise). I‘m sure you will improve, is your nose still full? Maybe also your ETs are a bit full so maybe steam inhalation...

No, mine has not. :( To answer your question. That is probably because it is more of a neurological problem for you than an ear problem. (it can be both) My acoustic trauma hit my left ear the hardest, and the left side is where the baseline tone that never goes away is the worst. That...

Ah, it's actually £110 to purchase the Textbook of Tinnitus (published in 2024), a collection of articles by various authors, including Rauschecker. His chapter spans pages 221–230 and costs only £19, which I might buy out of curiosity. I've downloaded your Tinnitus Gating Model and plan to...

@Mathew Gould Was there neck soreness before the jaw problem or the opposite? Jaw problems can cause neck problems, but way more often the neck causes jaw problems. If the neck soreness started first, was it caused by muscle trauma, lifting, bending head forward within some activity - head...

@Simon Czt With displacement of the articular disk of the jaw as you describe would involve compressive force to your retrodiskal tissues. This could associate to pulling of the lateral pterygoid muscle. Trauma from this associates to cervical hyperextension or/and from hitting head. Retrodiskal...

I'm reading this with great interest. Myself, I suffered a head injury back in January. My T is not pulsatile however, it is a constant tone, high pitched, primarily in my right ear (or right side of the head). Applying pressure to my temple region, moving my jaw a certain way, and...

Maybe you’ll have to wait a year or so to see improvements, people do improve whether it be ototoxic meds or noise trauma. I have talked to a lot of folks with ototoxic damage, some say they get better after 6 months, some took more time. You really just have to figure out what helps and try to...

It's been one month today. Not much has changed. The high-frequency tones in my head/ear are still as annoying as they were on the first day. It spikes when I hear a similar tone, causing the volume of my tinnitus to shoot up for about an hour or so after hearing it. The positives are that my...

A typical feature if head trauma T is delayed onset. Infact closed head injury patients have a wide variety of other neurological deficits that appear in days and weeks and not immediately. This is due to cell death in the brain and this process takes some time. My T started after about 24 hours...

Not screaming. Discharging a very large high pressure air tank with my head on the other side of it in a small 8'x6' room. There was no reason to discharge it at all and he happened to have hearing plugs in at the time for whatever reason.

I would doubt it. CTE is usually caused by bruising to the lining of the brain be it from repeated blows to the head such as a boxer or rugby player. It’s this bruising that is thought to release proteins which cause the degenerative brain disorder. Acoustic trauma can however cause tinnitus...

I've never experienced actual pain of the sort I'm aware you and others like Brian and David Treworgy of Hyperacusis Research write about. It's so difficult to articulate but mine feels like the ultra high-pitched tinnitus sounds are pressing into my eardrums if that makes sense. It's an...

Most football players have T. Google it. Especially if they had a few concussions while playing. I too have T from head trauma.. but I think mine is due to high intracranial pressure. Normal icp is usually 5 to 15. Mine was 33.. my head felt like it was going to explode until I got a...

...but you didn't say whether you had these tests done. I assume you had them done as they're routine. Tinnitus could also arise from head trauma, and I'm not sure whether that's due to the impact damaging the cochlea or the nerve, or trauma to the brain itself where tinnitus is said to...

Almost never, changed a little after I got injections into the eardrum, but I think that was just the procedure. After a couple weeks it was back to the same damn high pitched buzzing in my head that can't be masked. Does that mean it's more chronic if it never changes? It seems like...

i got T due to a hard slap on my left side of the head = ear -> perforated ear drum etc. So in my case left ear. Of course they ask you where the T sounds is most present in my case left and center of head. This means that ear projects (how they call it) the sound from left to center..

Steve, I appreciate your positive energy and dedication to this site and cause. I'm 2.5 weeks having T, (acoustic trauma , TMJ) On a Prednisone steroid, preparing to deal long term & have many side effects I've had good days just accepting my sounds and using the advice on this site. My one...

All acoustic trauma or very loud prolonged noise exposure guarantees some hearing loss even if it does not show up on a 250-8000hz audiogram. Protect your hearing and hope for the best recovery. No guarantee's but get a steroid to be safe. If you had tinnitus mildly before did you suspect...

Often without noise exposure, a sudden neck injury is cause of hearing loss/tinnitus and more so if neck problems already exist. Cervical muscle spasms from lifting or turning neck often to the left can cause C spine straightening, upper ligament damage, atlas imbalance, suboccipital nerve and...

Since Ketamine is an NMDA antagonist, is there a possibility it could provide some level of protection against acoustic trauma or ototoxicity?

Because your T was caused by direct head trauma which probably damaged your audiotory brain, perhaps in the future signal timing and epilepsy drugs will help. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/new-university-of-michigan-tinnitus-discovery-%E2%80%94-signal-timing.2805/page-2 Please keep in...

I had tmjd.... Years before the trauma...but I wasn't exposed at higher until it happened....now I feel more myofacial pain.... Forward head bending...That's me :( I'm always like that... Mouth open too long.... I do that too... Clenching...yes Neck pain....yes before and after. Oh...

Thanks for your message @undecided , From your mouth to god's ears My T was definitely brought on @ the onset of my head trauma, the aspect that makes it more complex is the preexisting high-frequency hearing loss on the side of trauma. Praying that that doesn't preclude me from the likelihood...

@Robster, yes but it's a gradual thing, and needs to be assisted with lifestyle changes to help the nerve heal. If you're thinking about fasting, I'd join a group on Facebook because it does carry a few risks - well worth it IMO. I'm part of "Fasting and Autophagy". I see your cause of...

So then what is different about pusatile tinnitus?

I apologize I missed this comment, yeah hidden hearing loss to the moon. lol

Could those neck/muscle problem cause 24/7 tinnitus? Otherwise I'm still convinced it's acoustic trauma (I realize I put "noise-induced" in my original thread title, which I believe is incorrect). I'm just still wrapping my head around 1) the fact that headphones and/or car speakers could have...

I'm sorry to hear that. Well as you know, surgeries like this (hifu, dbs) are done only as a last resort.

Damn thats so harsh. If it makes you feel a bit better, i had the same experience with my ent. I told him i got t from a concussion. He said thats impossible, its stress...

This is my first post, and I got my tinnitus from an ototoxic med (glipizide), which resulted in a bi-lateral inner ear infection. A few months later, the doctor gave me a prescription for Remeron, for sleep, and just 2 mg of this med resulted in partial deafness in my left ear, and damage in...

Had an acoustic trauma on a nightclub the same time as you. The first two weeks it was loud!! 10/10!! Now its 7/10 some days better than others, But mostly loud! Still hoping it will fade over time because its only been two months. My sound Also changes all the time from left to right ear to...

Hi... I can still hear some stuff of the outside world, so it’s not just my head noise... a week in and this hasn’t been getting better... I’m just not sure which way to go. Last night scared me, I’ve never heard my tinnitus that loud, to the point I almost couldn’t drive. I think I will try...

Sorry Freeatlast - I’m pretty hopeless at navigating this site. The acoustic trauma happened on my left side; that’s where the noise came in, as I stand to the right of the band. Sometimes I hear ‘T’ in my left ear, but sometimes in my head. I still play traditional jazz trombone, but use an ear...

Thank you for sharing your amazing success story. You’ve gone through so much and survived it. My tinnitus has become very severe over the last few months. I have several tones, and it’s incredibly intense. I’m three months in, and I also have hyperacusis. It brings me to tears of joy to know...

...can happen easier under these conditions if mouth is open and pressure to the jaw is happening. A dental procedure, falling down, head trauma or whiplash. Or clenching teeth with lifting and being off balance. Some hearing loss will take place 50%-70% of the time depending on issues...
