    Right Ear Vibrating/Whooshing

    Hello! I just signed up for this forum and I just want to begin by thanking everyone for their comments or advices. Back in November 2018 I started hearing this intermittent vibrating sound in my right ear. However I have noticed that whenever I plug my ears the sound would go away. This made...

    Intermittent Fasting for Tinnitus Relief

    Hi all, I would like to confirm this. I started an intermittent diet a couple weeks ago and I have noticed my tinnitus which I have had for seventeen years has decreased dramatically. In fact I was completely shocked and ecstatic when I found this blog. I thought my military background was...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I recently developed an intermittent low-pitched hum. This is in addition to the bilateral high-pitched tinnitus I’ve had for 13 years, which I have habituated to. The low-pitched hum fluctuates in volume and is worst at night, both when trying to sleep and in the morning when waking up. It’s...

    Life Stories

    Loudness is a huge factor. My tinnitus is intermittent. I usually get 2 days in a row where it is is 1/10 then it can literally spike to a 10/10 for a day or 2 then it returns to a 1 or 2/10. I have much less stress on the quiet days than on the loud ones. If it would stay quiet I wouldn't even...

    Hearing Loss/Pressure After Tympanometry

    Isn't it ironic that loud sound is used in most tests to assess a healthy hearing? Evoked potential, accoustic reflex.. let alone the dreadful MRI.

    Unsure What Type of Tinnitus I Have

    Regarding the pulsating part, have you taken your blood pressure? I have pulsating and my blood pressure was quite high 150 up/110 down. I now take heart pills 5 mg a day. The pulsating part has calmed down for me, it's still there but not like before, also it's only been 10 days since I started...

    Broken Ear or Hyperacusis (Distortion)? Most External Noises Sound Distorted

    Intermittent use probably the safest but like you I got good results and took it more frequently. They are nasty drugs if they get a hold of you, knowing what I do now I would never take them. There are many people who have tinnitus because of this class of drug, you have to work out the risk...

    Tomorrow is My One Month Anniversary. I'm Already Habituating

    Alxtan, I'm glad to hear that you are adjusting well to your tinnitus. It's good that yours is a mild case. Keep those ears protected when you're around loud sounds, and you should be able to avoid having it get worse! Also, I would say that nearly every person experiences tinnitus to some...

    Does anyone else have low-frequency tinnitus that is not extremely low-pitched like a vibrating motor, but is in the 150 Hz to 350 Hz range, like the sound of a vacuum cleaner for example?

    Can Tinnitus Have an Effect on Audiogram Hearing Tests?

    It is in the same region as a shift, but if the tone was pulsed I wouldn't have the same issues in perceiving it. I've tested myself with a tone at constant volume and when it pulses on and off it's easier to hear it as a distinct tone at a lower volume. Not by a huge way, but enough that it...

    Tinnitus for Three Weeks — Looking for Support

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Gone Insane: Random Intense Whooshing Spikes

    My tinnitus also spikes when I drink water too fast. It's intermittent, though, so usually I don't hear it at all but occasionally do (once every few weeks or months) when I drink water quickly or sometimes just randomly. I can also sometimes trigger it by doing the valsalva maneuver. My...

    Tinnitus from Short-Term Medication (Trazodone, Clonazepam)

    Hi @WCJohn, happy to elaborate. One thing you should know about my tinnitus is that it's daily intermittent, so some days it's loud (shower loud), some days it's mild, and some days it's quiet (like whisper quiet to silent). I've learned that the switching trigger is deep sleep when I dream. Not...

    Reactive Morse Code / Typewriter Tinnitus

    When my tinnitus first began, I would hear a distortion eerily similar to what you described. It was like a soft morse code that would steadily get louder and compete with any constant noise I would hear. Pretty much any nonstop sound would set it off. Music, running water, fans, tea kettle...
