My Husband Now Has Tinnitus in Left Ear!

Hi I’ve had tinnitus in right ear only since May of 2017.

My husband is now experiencing tinnitus in his left ear. He says his is more like a hiss and static also with a ring...he has been able to ignore it except for today, he said it’s extremely loud....any recommendations? We are scheduling for an ENT...just seems so odd, we moved into a new apartment in May 2017. And now we both are experiencing tinnitus in one ear.

 

Amazing how many people this affects. I have the same thing. 5 months now. GP referred me to ENT. ENT gave me an ear exam and a hearing test. I guess I failed the hearing test so he sent me for a brain mri to check for an acoustic neuroma. My mri results said I did not have one. I can’t explain the ringing in one ear. It’s awful though.

 

Check if your apartment has some high frequencies noise or ultrasound! I have same problem, I think the house where we live has a big role! Example I found out my T is exactly the noise of my elevator. I live at the last floor of my condominium next to the elevator engine

 

If in theory ig there issome ultrasound that you cannot heard that is above 20 kHz a decibel reader should be able to detect it right?

What common device uses ultrasounds?
Seems kind of far fetched, but definately is strange. A girl I dated had situational tinnitus which wasn't that bad. I think hers was due to alcoholism and she talks really loud too so she probably has hearing loss.

At first I thought it was the house we lived in but I think we over think the causes.

 

You may want to check and see if your shower pipes are making a high pitch squealing sound at a certain setting, being it's a new place. That happens to me when ever I have the handle set too much to the hot side. And it happens at any of my water supplies like kitchen or bathroom sinks and either of my 2 showers. It's something to do with the water pipes or the faucet itself. Now I pay attention when ever I use the water. This was not a problem until I moved into a new home.

Good luck
