    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    If this can give you some relief, my tinnitus has very similar symptoms to yours and the first few months were horrible. I've had this for a little over 6 months now and I feel a lot better than I did the first few weeks. I still get shitty days from time to time but most of the time, it's...

    I First Noticed My Tinnitus While I Was Recovering from a Hernia Operation

    Hi. I've got something similar to you since I got my 1st COVID-19 vaccine jab. One thing that helps me when my hum/drone acts up is to take a hot shower which brings it down from a 10/10 to a 1/10. See if that helps. Also, I've had this thing for 6 months now and things have been pretty stable...

    Intermittent Low Droning/Humming Tinnitus Sound

    Thanks for your kind words and I hope things go well for you and your IVF. I have to admit that, after 5 months into this, I'm starting to get into a better place mentally. Some days I still get mildly depressed but I'm trying to control my reactions to the drone when it gets loud in the...

    Hearing a Low Drone/Car Idling/Lightsaber, You Name It

    Hello. It seems I'm seeing a lot of people recently that have the hum/drone. It's good to see that some people like you seem to be able to cope with it and that encourages me (I'm at my 5th month into this). What were your coping methods except the ones already mentioned?

    Intermittent Low Droning/Humming Tinnitus Sound

    I've read your intro post and all I've got to say is I would love to have your mindset towards tinnitus. I'm still making an effort to take my mind off it with exercise and white noise. Maybe someday I'll reach your point where it won't bother me anymore or even better, it might go away. Can't...

    Tinnitus? I Thought It Was Neighbour's Sump Pump?

    I also have that humming noise and your experience sounds like mine. Does your hum get loud from time to time or is it stable?

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    I have been reading your story for a while now. I was wondering since you've gotten this for a while now, do you have any coping strategies for the rest of us with the hum? I'm at my 5th month now and even though it's not as bad as yours (mine's a 0.5 or 2/10 most the time) but when the loud...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    I also believe that my hum is somatic in some way but I seem unable to control the intensity like Ben does when it's loud. The only thing that makes a difference in intensity is either when hearing/making a sound or moving my head around which both stops the hum completely. Also, the hot water...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Did your hum reduce or go away after taking a hot shower? Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, mostly on Mondays, the low hum is much louder than usual. Then I take a hot shower and the hum gets reduced significantly or even goes away for multiple days. This is why it baffles me so much, I'm...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Sounds rough. How did you deal with the anxiety or stress that came with it? Also, how long has it been since your onset?

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Did your hum last for the entire day or did you have periods of silence during the day? I'm at my fourth month into this and most of the time, I can only hear it in completely silent rooms. The first month the hum was way louder and frequent. Now, the vibrating hum rarely occurs... like once or...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Hi. I've got two questions for you. First, did the hum stop when you were hearing other sounds then start again when silence hit? And secondly, did you have any ear pressure or pain in your affected ear? Your symptoms are really similar to mine and seeing that maybe you found a solution to...

    Low Bass-Like Hum, As If Something Was Vibrating Inside My Ear: Is This Tinnitus or Something Worse?

    Hi. 4 months into this. I've got the same symptoms as you all do and my ENT told me it's probably ETD related. I've got no hearing loss but I still get ear pressure/pain from time to time. The hum/drone got much lower compared to the first month (I was borderline suicidal at that time). The hum...

    On & Off Loud Humming

    I'm glad that I found this thread because I suffer from similar symptoms. My ENT seems to think it's from ETD but further test needs to be performed (I've had this for 4 months now). Does yours go away temporarily with a hot shower?

    Intermittent Low Droning/Humming Tinnitus Sound

    Hi everyone. I've frequently lurked Tinnitus Talk since I've developed tinnitus about four months ago hoping to find a good success story from someone with the same symptoms that I do. Unfortunately, it seems that my type of tinnitus is rare and information about it is very restricted for both...
