Low Frequency Tinnitus

[Sydnears]

Welcome, @Stiwuuh.

I do not have any good advice, as I am still new to the hum myself (3.5 months). It is driving me absolutely mad. But I find some hope in knowing that many of our members have experienced it going away for periods of time.

Would you say you had habituated to it in the past? To me, it feels very intrusive and constantly present. I also find masking difficult, since I have reactive high-pitched tinnitus as well.

Thank you for your reply, and I'm sorry to hear that you're in the same boat.

No, I haven't habituated to the hum, even after almost ten years. Unfortunately, it has gotten worse since March 2025, with no known cause. The other tinnitus sounds no longer bother me, at least not to this extent.

I still hope it will improve at some point. It's constantly present, and masking is not an ideal solution, as the masking sounds also disturb my sleep.

Wishing you all the best. Hopefully, better days are ahead for both of us.
