YES!! I get the cotton wool cracking sound in that ear, i really think there is a Eustachian tube issue somewhere which may be a contributor.

It's puzzling isn't it. Mine rumbling is just in my right ear, if i nod my head, it responds with me. It's like there is something in there...

Ah the old rumbling, i have it and i have noticed that it responds to sound. If i've had a car journey and i walk in to a quite room, the...

Hi all, Finally got my MRI results which said, 'scan of both internal auditory meatuses are normal' so nothing found which is a relief. So just...

Well finally, after one and a half years, ENT have offered me an MRI of my inner ear. Booked in for Sunday so fingers and toes crossed.

That's your Eustachian tubes opening and closing. Perfectly normal.

Hi, this low hum is always there but very low, whatever i did really annoyed it, never had it that loud before. I'm thinking Eustachian tube...

Well i've just scared myself to death. I foolishly wiggled my finger in my bad ear because it was itching then all of a sudden this huge loud...

Thanks guys, I will look in to other apps or try a different phone. Regardless, like others have said, i think it's vibration.

Re-tested it today, got 105db on both apps. I have the window down, road noise is loud, it's surprising.

If your in the UK then chances are you will get nowhere with ENT. They will check your ears for wax and THAT'S IT. No scans, further checks,...

Yep, i get exactly the same. It is worst when the kettle is boiling. It seems to react to anxiety and stress as well.

Not done that yet although i suspect the same issue would occur.

Yeah i thought it may be that, either that or a postural issue with being seated for so long.

Just used 35db foam earplugs. Used etymotics type ear plugs before on shorter distance trips which don't seems to make a difference. Use 2...

Yes, bone conduction is a possibility i guess. My T is not hearing based so it could be messing with muscles etc. Not driving, i sit as...

Thanks to both of you. Hopefully i can get some respite from this as it's really very tough at the mo.

Hi Karen, I've never had a diagnosis for my T but i think a lot is muscular (somatic), hearing is fine. It definitely pulses in time with my...

Anxiety can cause the numbness too.

Mine started after a car journey with the window open.. think it must have been the cool wind on my neck or in my ear.

Yes! Had exactly the same thing the other week. Hearing went dull in my right (good) ear and this shrieking T hung around and only faded very...

Completely agree, just got to tell my mind that! Got CBT soon so will hopefully change my thought patterns.

Thanks Karen, it certainly reacts to certain frequencies. It's a very strange thing which i think is exasperated by the anxiety of not knowing...

Well the doctor says my ears are fine. Seeing an ENT next month so will see. It's just such a strange thing

It's about a 3-4. It's not massively loud but loud enough and it's many different tones. Tried many GP'S. They all follow the same hyme sheet...

No cash pal. Got the ENT next month and will shortly be starting CBT so see how it goes. Expecting no real answers though.

I would love to go private, i really would. Cost is just so much though and i'm a bog standard bloke with no cash.

Yep, i'd agree with that. I've not even had a scan, had T for 18 months in one ear. NHS is terrible when it comes to T.

The problem is, in the UK it's almost impossible to get referred to an ENT. I had to practically beg my doctor the other week to send me. He...

Had floaters since i was about 11. They're pretty bad but i'm used to it. I come out of habituation occasionally when my health anxiety fixes...

Entirely agree. The panic response is awful especially having GAD anyway. Yuck

My biggest problem is that i don't know whats causing it and the fact my ENT did a hearing test and nothing else. The helplessness, despair,...

Yes my humming tone goes when I cover ear .. so strange.

Ha, that makes two of us

Anyone? I appreciate it's a strange one so not surprised at the 0 replies :)

Thats the EXACT same buzz i get in my right ear. I wake sometimes with it buzzing in time with my girlfriends breathing. Sometimes it pulses,...

Well I'm awaiting an appointment for CBT so hoping that will help with my GAD. I wish I could stop putting T high on my daily priorities. My...

Hi, Cheers for the reply. Don't get me wrong, i've had T since Feb last year and have had all sorts of tones (currently a low hum at times as...

About 10 months or so.. It was very strange. I think it beeps every now and then still but not like it was. I'm almost certain that it is nerve...

Yes I had that for a while in my left ear. It was intermittent and seemed to beep when I moved my head to the right. That part of my T has gone...

Having gotten used to my T i have had a massive spike today and have just realised that i have taken 200mg pill of ibuprofen earlier today. That...

It more than likely that you're getting highly anxious over it and are becoming more in tune with every sensation in your body. You mind will...

It may be worth investigating your C1 atlas.. It could be off a bit. I believe mine is out slightly as my transverse process is more noticeable on...

Sometimes if i open my eustachian tubes and breath in through my nose or sometimes if i become active from a seated position, i get a resonating...

Cheers.. it's hard to explain the feeling.. I think fluttering is the wrong word, it's like a buzzing. Also, can TTS cause this strange humming I...

@Ken219 My ENT spent the majority of the time pulling faces at me when I tried to explain my somatic T. His attitude was bad. I know there is...

Yeah my ENT was just like that yesterday, no concern, just told to play some music to mask it. Well, thanks Doc, for nothing.

Also to add.. I suspect that I may have a C1 issue as well which could be adding or causing the problem

Hi all thanks for the advice. Went to the ENT today. Had a hearing test and passed with flying colours which tbh didn't surprise me. The so...

Did nothing for me unfortunately.
