...as it was in the beginning. Or maybe I'm just less panicked by it. :-) I think there's a paper on tinnitus that suggests that intermittent tinnitus is caused by some inhibitory feedback loop in the brain. I'm thrilled to hear that your loud days are getting further apart! It gives me hope...

Hello all, Just signed up today and thought I would introduce myself. I'm 49 and I can remember intermittent tinnitus 5 years ago where it would come on for a couple minutes and then go away. At the time I thought it was some type of radio frequency which I could hear. In 2018 it was very...

It could be any kind of sound at all - constant or fluctuating or intermittent. There is no one type of T specifically suggesting TMJ relation.

You already asked me in a different thread. I answered there. It’s in both ears. But really only get the actual vibration sensation in left ear so far. Both are intermittent. Today has been a good day. Last night was bad. Woke up and had vibrations in my body too. Honestly not sure what is...

Thanks for the info! Will try the intermittent fasting first

@BrysonKingMe - I have the same type of intermittent/variable/fluctuating tinnitus. Some days it's low and some days it's loud. Very often, it occurs on the day boundary--whatever I wake up to is what I get for the day, as if my tinnitus flips a coin in the night. When it's low, it's primarily...

My name is Laurie and I have had tinnitus for several years, starting around 2010 or 2011. At first it was intermittent, but starting early this year it has become a constant hissing in both ears. I also have multiple sclerosis since 1981, and I am wondering if there is a connection between MS...

For the past month, I’ve been doing the Keto WOE along with intermittent fasting - 18/6. I’ve lost some weight, have less joint pain, more energy and feel better in general, but the Tinnitus is as loud and obnoxious as ever. I’m staying on it, but have no expectations that the T will improve.

Hello, update on my tinnitus. Since 4/16 I still have severe intrusive tinnitus. It's 17 months now and back in 5/17 I was diagnosed with Ménière's disease. That would explain my fluctuating hearing loss. The illness has really disrupted my life, I am vert slowly adapting to the constant noise...

As if my tinnitus were not bad enough already, now I'm getting an intermittent "cricket" sound in my right ear. It happens for a second and then stops. Up until now it's been just an extremely high pitch tone in both ears. I sure hope it doesn't start continuously because .. I don't know if can...

Search for my posts in the Pulsatile Tinnitus category and you will find lots of information on my MEM experience.

these tests were the exact reason I got this loud pitch hyperacusis/tinnitus which has never stopped since I left the ENT's office mid July 2019...it is now October 11, 2019. I went into the ent's office that day with intermittent ringing that I had first noticed in May 2019. At that point it...

hey Strife, I am in Connecticut, (USA). I am doing pretty well! With "T" there are good days and not so good ones. Today was a good one. My tinnitus is intermittent; so it is low at times and louder other times. When it is low, it does not trouble me at all after seven years now!

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02040194 I was accepted for the study but I'm cancelling my participation because my tinnitus has improved dramatically over the last two weeks as my inner ear infection is on the mend. The main requirement is that you must have gotten your tinnitus...

I've used ear plugs to sleep for years now. Last year, I started hearing this intermittent sound. At first I believed it was a construction site somewhere. I only heard it with the ear plugs on, which was weird. A few days later I realized it was synchronized with my heart beat and inside my...

Hey Harold, I hope all is well with you and your family. I am still painting and preaching. The tinnitus is still intermittent for me. Still praying for a miracle of healing! You are going on 50 years now with tinnitus; you are quite a tribute to perseverance! Drop me a line, and let me know how...

I have loud fluctuating, AKA intermittent, tinnitus, much like Rick Beato, but my periods of silence are not very long. I have habituated to the point that when it is ringing, my mind ignores it most of the time. I had a spike a few days ago due to accidental exposure to a loud noise, which has...

I wonder if this could regenerate middle ear and eustachian tube cilia that have been damaged due to a viral or bacterial infection. Ear infection was the cause of my tinnitus and to this day, I still have trouble clearing mucosal secretions despite normal middle ear pressure and tube function...

How does one even habituate to these intermittent pausing sounds/tones? They have no predictability which in my experience makes it impossible for the brain to habituate to. What is even up with this beeping and pausing. Like the f***!!! Why!!!!! Why are you doing this?! At least give me...

My intermittent right side P.T. stops if I compress the left side of my neck, tried it after I read this article below. I'm hoping I don't have a dural fistula. MRI nothing, ice, meditation, breathing exercises and massage of trigger points on neck helps, low stress keeps mine intermittent...

...I've been prescribed over 20 different antidepressants for my OCD/agoraphobia, social anxiety, and none of them worked. Sertraline caused my intermittent tinnitus, which I'm sure is the thing that started the change in my brain so now I have constant tinnitus and visual snow.

My interpretation of this was that the effects of the treatment wore off. It would be nice if he came back to participate in the thread.

I have had a steady tone tinnitus in my left ear for many years. Just recently it has been joined by an intermittent crackling sound. The old sound is still there, same as ever, and since it is continuous it is much easier to ignore than this new one which is off and on.

I have intermittent tinnitus as well, I go long stretches of the day where I can't hear it, I've even laid down in bed and gone, "whoa, where's the ringing?!" even when thinking about it, it's gone, but once I start thinking about it, I usually start to hear it in about 30-40 seconds.

I’ve had this. It’s a bit scary, yeah. I first started having TTTS a year ago when my tinnitus also began. Several months ago I had several episodes of both of my ears fluttering like butterfly wings for a full 10 seconds or so. It has happened only 3 times in total, though. I also had an...

@Liam Boehm should ideally end up quadriplegic being fed by a tube. He's got no conscience.

I think it’s safe to say that your spike is more than likely noise induced. It would appear it’s not uncommon for spikes of this nature to take many months to gradually fade, and at such a slow rate that it’s not even noticeable. I only took Prednisone for two weeks and probably tapered down a...

Hello. My tinnitus began 9 months ago (Nov 2017). My neck was pushed while my neck and face were hard-turned left. I began hearing static my left ear. When it began it was only when I leaned down and to the left. It is now frequent and intermittent. SYMPTOMS - intermittent - left ear only -...

@Contrast what relationship is posited between hearing loss and ear pain? (Between hearing loss and tinnitus I well know.) I am interested because I have intermittent ear pain + constant aural fullness besides T, H and HL.

Hi, Annie, There seems to be a small subset of us with intermittent tinnitus. Several of us describe our tinnitus as "high-pitched cricket" sounds. I think I've identified about 5 of us with this so far. Since you said yours was intermittent, I wondered if this (cricket sounds) description...

What kind of morse code do you have now?

I have been wondering the same. Personally I have 0 hopes of healing. Distortions for more than 2 years, which now have gotten much much worse along with sound sensitivity and intermittent ear pain. The latter two are my big problems atm. I deal better with tinnitus but the ear spasms and...

I'm new here. So glad I found this sight. My question is I hear the sound of someone tapping on symbols its intermittent have had for 15 years thought it went away 1 ago no such luck does any out there hear other sounds ?? Even after all these years it still causes anxiety and depression there...

I'm not sure what to name that either, but I'm sorry to hear about all you've been through. I can't really comment on all your hearing issues, but the fact that your tinnitus is intermittent instead of constant might not be a bad thing. Are you sure that constantly popping your ears isn't...

I've had it happen with an MRI scan, but I can't speak for a hearing test. No idea how loud they are.

Hi Blodorn, I have intermittent tinnitus like you. Mine tends to stay reasonably the same throughout a day though, but varies from day to day (sleep seems to be the thing that changes it). Sometimes I go for 2 days hardly hearing it at all. I've had it for about 3 years and hasn't really faded...

Greetings! Is this actual pulsatile tinnitus? I've had bilateral, multi-tonal tinnitus for about 3 years now with very intermittent pulsatile tinnitus like symptoms. I also have somatic tinnitus, but I only hear it walking (left leg forward) and and turning my head and opening my jaw to...

...I might not entirely follow, but I'm wondering if you think such a model could explain why some folks such as myself experience intermittent tinnitus, where tinnitus is either switched on for the day or switched off. In my case in particular, I'll have one loud volume day, followed by 2-5...

That's why I'd really like to know if anyone has something similar. The members of this forum tend to be fatalistic in the sense that if you have a sound in your ear, it is almost certainly cochlear damage that can't be cured and will continue forever. But the folks here also acknowledge that...

From my experience on this board Tinnitus is more likely to go away if: -You're young (check) -It wasn't caused by hearing damage (check) -It's intermittent (?) It DOES go away in many people. Mine did after four years. You just rarely hear about success stories because people move on with...

Hi, @Adrianfox , Just wanted to share that I have intermittent tinnitus that I first described as the sound of "soprano crickets on steroids." I'm certain mine is somatic, and I asked the dentist/specialist that treats my TMJ issues if he had heard of this. He said he certainly had, and he...

Friends, I have multiple tones and hissing that I hear during the day and I'm somehow able to cope with them. However, my sleep continues to be a disaster damaging my health. Besides the stress and anxiety, it is also due to the fact that there is one particular intermittent beeping that only...

@Erik.Swe - I can't rightly explain why it gets quiet when you put your finger in your ear. Is your tinnitus objective by chance? I wish I knew why it comes and goes. Mine flips when I'm asleep. An osteopath I spoke with wonders if it has to do with poor cerebrospinal fluid or blood flow during...

My journey into the underworld started with waking up one night to Pulsatile Tinnitus. I had never really thought such a thing could exist. Lasted 8 months then went away gradually. I had intermittent ordinary T but it never bothered me much until Feb 16 this year when it appeared during the...

Hi folks So I think I might have uncovered the mystery of the new tone - I think it might be street lamps! They make a bizarre intermittent humming noise...at least I hope that's what it is... However, thanks to the anxiety and constant monitoring, my old tinnitus has kicked up a whole bunch...

Hi there, I've had some intermittent tinnitus for the past few years - nothing big. A recent month long virus/cold triggered a major tinnitus attack. I went to the ENT and to my surprise, I have moderate to severe hearing loss. He gave me prednisone, but left me with little confidence there...

One ENT guy I saw said that he thought it was a type of pre-consciousness habituation that everyone does not have PT (the huge carotid arteries being so close to the inner and middle ear mechanisms). I have intermittent PT for which no definite cause has been found (I also have hissing tinnitus...

Thank you for your informative responses. I really appreciate it.

I'm having a hearing test on Thursday before an ENT appointment. This is the first time my tinnitus and possible hearing problems will be addressed by a professional. I'm definitely going to ask for the pulsing sounds because my T is constant and high-pitched with intermittent stand-out sounds...

Sorry you’re going through this but hoping your tinnitus baselines sooner than later. As for how I deal with the chirp, it’s intermittent. I get it when my tinnitus ramps up from my hyperacusis but it lasts hours maybe every other day. It sucks and I think it’s just very high frequency zapping...

Thank you Golly and Jazz, I appreciate your advise and will consider your recommendations. I wonder if it is possible to habituate intermittent tinnitus .ie a shrill brain rattling ,tinny noise. I am considering buying the TRT book from amazon, as there is no TRT centres where I live. Nothing...

I've had this swishing tinnitus for years (I wrote an intro post of myself in the intro forum) and I get intermittent ringing.. The swishing keeps time with my heartbeat but the ringing not. Do other "whooshers" get this? I've never really looked into treatment options... I only recently found...

The electric drill, do you hear it almost everywhere? What kind of areas provide relief? Thanx.

Interesting. After what time period did your aural fullness start to become intermittent? weeks, months? Also, do you experience a Tinnitus tone you would classify as 4kHz? Or do you only have higher tones (>8kHz)? I also experience a weird sensation in the ear indicating the presence of...

I don't understand... how can this help tinnitus, when by fasting you are depriving yourself from nutrients... won't there be a chance of suffering slow hearing loss from the hair cells dying from not having what they need?

Never thought I'd say this, but there ARE some advantages of having tinnitus. So, high pitched hissing tinnitus for 3 years and intermittent pulsatile tinnitus both ears over the same period. Severe depression and 'utter failure to cope' initially....eventually habituated. Over the last couple...

Thank you.

Yes arm pain in upper left arm and just under left clavicle but intermittent in that it comes and goes week to week. Usually I take some an painkillers and it settles down and is fine for a few weeks but always comes back. I guess my big questions is could this be linked to my Tinnitus and the...

Hi everyone, I got tinnitus after a a bad flu like head cold that lasted about a month (in November). I got intermittent tinnitus during the end of the virus. My dr had me go on Flonase and Claritin. I tried that for a week or so. The tinnitus then didn't bother me since it was on and off and...
