I’ve had an MRI before, and that was super loud! But the CT scan I had done was a bit loud, but nowhere near as loud as the MRI. There is surgery...

Thanks for posting this. This is exactly what I have. I had a CT scan done about a year ago, and they told me I have this: Semicircular Canal...

You’re welcome.

Well, I hope the ringing is short-lived for you. Sometimes it goes away for people, I’ve heard. Good luck at your appointment.

Almost the same thing happened to me. I had my ears irrigated because the doctor told me I had wax in my ear. I've had problems with my ears ever...

Sorry, I don’t really know what to suggest. It’s a constant battle for me as well. I have figured out that stress seems to make it worse, though.

No change, sounds like constant low rumble in the background.

It's hard to describe the sound. Sort of like vibrating construction going on outside. It seems to be different all the time. But I haven't had it...

It just started recently. It seems to be related to my upper back/spine, etc. My desk at work is too high, so my arms are constantly being raised...

Nope, nothing like that at all. Oh well, at least I didn’t have to pay for the visit. It was covered by our provincial medical plan. This site is...

Hmmm... good question. I suppose I was hoping he would be more helpful in trying to figure out why I have tinnitus, and maybe offer some better...

Thank you very much for this info! I've had tinnitus for a long time now, but I started to get the vibrating/thumping again a few days ago. And my...

I understand everybody's pain on this thread. I would just like to vent about my hyperacusis. I've had it for about a year. (along with my...

Mine is constant. If I have a noisy day, it’s louder than usual for a few hours. Then when I get back to my nice quiet home, it dies back down to...

Thank you very much for all the info. Very interesting indeed!

Yes, they did do a hearing test. But no, it didn't include listening in background noise/music. Thanks for all the info. I think I'll buy some...

Yes, I think you're right.

Yes, I should have. Lol

I would just like to say that I "don't" advise getting your ears flushed. I had it done about a year ago, and it made my tinnitus worse. At least...

My thoughts exactly! What’s wrong with bringing up an old post?

This is EXACTLY what I tell myself too! @john paul

Iv decided that if mine doesn't get any better i'm just going to tell myself that everyone hears a noise, everyone hears something different and...

I love your book. I've been reading some of it almost every day when I go to the coffee shop. I laughed at your comment above regarding describing...

Hi there. I think that might be my problem (with my bite). Did you go to the dentist to get the night guards?

Hi Wishy I can totally relate to how you feel. I’ve been feeling the same way lately. I just can’t take it anymore! All I can say is Thank...

Tinnitus is so very strange. I have the opposite effect when I press down on the area above my ear... the tinnitus gets louder.

My doctor checked my ears and said I have fluid in my ear (the one with tinnitus). He prescribed something called Beconase nasal spray. I’m going...

Thanks very much for the idea. I’m going to my doctor today. I’ll suggest this to him, but I wonder what kind of tests can be done, or if there’s...

Yes, I think mine gets worse with loud noises too. I had a very loud and stressful day at work the other day, and that night my tinnitus did get...

I don't know if it's my imagination, but I had a piece of 12 grain bread this evening (with 10% magnesium per slice) and my tinnitus seems a bit...

Hmmm... never thought of that. Well, I haven't given up hope, I'm going to keep trying to get to the bottom of why my tinnitus got louder about 3...

Ok, I think I will go to a dentist to get my TMJ checked out. Maybe that's my problem. Thanks :)

I feel bad for you that you had to listen to that awful fire alarm. Good thing you had those earmuffs handy. My tinnitus would probably spike too...

I thought I had read somewhere that caffeine makes our tinnitus worse, so I don't drink coffee anymore, only green tea, which I know does have a...

I first got this loud vibrating noise a few days after I had my ears syringed. My tinnitus got louder too. (About 3 months ago). The vibrating...

Thanks very much for offering this book for free! I've downloaded it and look forward to reading it!

Oh, that's good to hear. Mine is at a bearable volume lately.

I just saw your post now. I hope your tinnitus has gone down in volume since your post.

Okay, thanks. Sigh. Oh well, I guess it's something we just have to learn to live with. I play that Star Trek ambient video sometimes that you...

I always carry foam earplugs in my purse, and have to wear them most of the time when I'm out. Especially my right ear, which is the one with the...

I had my ears syringed about 2 months ago. I wish I hadn’t, because 3 days later my tinnitus got louder than it had been in years. It could’ve...

@Eric N Hello there. I know this is quite an old post of yours, but do you still have the "motorboat" sound? I've had it for a couple of months...

Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to reading yours and other members future posts :)

Thank you everyone for all your posts. They’re all so helpful. I’ve been reading this site for a long time, but finally decided to sign up. A...

LadyDi, thanks for your suggestion about the WhiteNoise app. I really like it.
