No idea. High functioning aspie here with a PhD (philosophy), and doing a postdoc. I don't think of myself as more intelligent than most - I...
I'd say it depends upon the individual. I have 24/7 low frequency T that I hear over everything, and I do mean everything. Last week, I heard it...
I'm 37 and have had T, plus musical hallucinations, for at least 32 years that I can recall. Recently, low pitched sounds have joined the 24/7...
By that scale, mine is a 9-10. I have 24/7 low frequency sounds, including musical hallucinations. By my own scale, I'd rate it a 2-3. I have...
Hi Tracy, If you don't fear most side-effects from anti-depressants, then why fear an exacerbation of your T? It's most unlikely to occur. I was...
This is me. I am deaf and have always had high-pitched ringing (don't care about it - it's my silence). Then, in Feb, 24/7 low frequency T...
The visual disorder is called Charles Bonnet Syndrome: at it's worst, people hallucinate entire scenes that take over their visual field. I...
I too am struggling with this. Some tones seem to occur only when I think about them, so I am hopeful that this may start extending to more of...
Yup. Though I was relieved that there is no serious cause, I'm annoyed that I can't do much about it. Turns out I have a "high jugular bulb" and...
Well let's see. Prior to the onset of my 24/7 unmaskable T, I had finished my PhD with excellent results, had started a postdoc after lecturing,...
@Bam (Knoll? ;-]), The BTA are indeed strange. There was a representative at my local tinnitus support group, and she started going on about how...
@Bam, Yup, have Valium as needed too! Though my GP is reluctant to prescribe it unless I'm having a major mental health episode. I'm on...
@Bam PTSD is right. I feel like my life is divided into 'before' and 'after' this insanity began. Life is presently lived at a very slow pace as...
@Bam, Like you, I had a trip to A & E shortly after onset. I was shaking and suicidal. I thought my cochlear implant might have been infected as...
This is why I'm somewhat exasperated by my audiologist suggesting, despite my being profoundly deaf enough to have a cochlear implant, that my...
Dogs are very therapeutic! At my worst, we had a dog walker come as I could barely move. Now we're back out twice a day. I'm not 100% yet, but...
Hi All, I thought about posting this in Success Stories, but I'm not quite there yet. However, I still thought it worthwhile to share that, as of...
Hi JKPH, Well, things have moved on a little for me and, fortunately, the worst of the sounds seem to have stopped! The zapping, banging etc...
Hello! Waiting for my CT scan, and then we'll go from there. My implant centre are also getting a clinical expert from Cochlear to come to my...
More alleged "scar tissue" - even I can see the anomaly. Makes me feel like I'm going insane! Cannot see how the CT won't show this up too.
I thought I'd update this. My implant centre have dismissed my MRI report as showing "scar tissue." I would point out that the "scar tissue" is...
I empathise with not knowing what you're going to wake up with: sometimes I fall asleep terrified I'll wake up to the electrical storm sounds...
Oh, and when I went to get my implant checked out by the audiologist this week, she said: "Things will sound loud and distorted if you don't use...
It *may* not be a tumour: it may be chronic mastoiditis. I am just SO angry. I'm sure many here can empathize at feeling frustrated with ENT's....
Hi All, I have posted a few times since suddenly developing 24/7 low frequency T nearly three months ago, and now I have found the cause. I have...
Sure. My hearing level and ability to discriminate sounds when its on is comparable to, say, an elderly person who doesn't quite catch everything...
For me, it's very much like natural hearing (what I can remember of it!). I have a profound loss in my other ear so only really hear very loud...
Hi Mike, Sorry this reply is a bit late. I have one CI due to progressive sensorineural deafness. I had it at age 33 (36 now) and heard...
Yes. Off is definitely the right word: it's hard to articulate. In my case, I am having episodes where words start to break up, so instead of...
Thanks Glynis. I too was wondering about a low salt diet: it's shocking what's in food when you're not paying attention. The ENT did suggest that...
Apparently alone on a T forum ...
Hi All, I posted a month or so ago as I had had a sudden onset of various low frequency sounds in late Feb. I no longer have: - Rumbling sounds...
A lot of these options are interlinked. For me, it's anxiety/panic which naturally affects most areas of my life. What I find especially...
I use a cochlear implant and had, up until a few weeks ago, been experiencing sound distortion for a month: words were sort of breaking up, so...
Yes. I am going through this now. I am congenitally deaf and well-used to the high-pitched ringing: it is my silence and I am perfectly content...
The type which bothers me, and which set in 7 weeks ago is: - Low rumbling all over my head - so low it almost feels like a vibration. - Bangs,...
UK member here with lifelong (high pitched T) but a sudden onsent of low T (rumbling, vibrating, all sorts of buzzing and droning sounds over my...
Hi all, Got an appt tomorrow to reprogrammed my implant, and then I'll be seeing the consultant in a few weeks as they might want to do an MRI....
I can't do much until Tues when the lady who deals with my case is back at the implant centre (I'm not regarded as an emergency as I have e.g. no...
Us there a specific type of steroid to ask for? I've only had prednisolone before for an asthma flare up. Or is there another sort to ask for?
Hi Singer, So you too had booms in your head and distortion of sounds? I felt that the ENT was slightly dismissive and just wanted the implant...
And can normal tinnitus, like a roar, become even louder by simply moving? Have never experienced anything like it and half expecting to drop down...
First one was amoxicillin after left eardrum looked about to burst. Second one is clarithmyocin which is making me throw up. The noises started...
Really? Wouldn't you get pressure/pain with sinus issues? I guess if there is fluid the echoing/distorted sounds might be a result of bouncing off...
Hi All, There is a bit of a puzzle going on, and I wondered if anyone has any suggestions. I have a cochlear implant, and over three weeks this...
Hi Glynis, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Stress can really cause huge thumping sounds? I get scared when they seem to be in my head, but...
Hi All, I posted a few days ago and now I'm wondering about Meniere's. I have: - Occasional episodes of vertigo. They do not start gradually....
Hi All, U.K member here. Caveat: I have a cochlear implant so am well used to hearing all manner of weird things inside my head, just not what...
