Tinnitus with Inside, Around Ear, and Back of Head Aches

[Yanni]

Hey Guys, I have had this hissing "cccchhhhh" sound in my ears, it sounds like a channel that has no signal on your tv (for the lack of a better description). Lately I have been having an ache in and around my ear and a coming and going ache in the back of my head. Anyone can relate?

Welcome to the forum. You may have ETD or ear infection issue. Try to get an ENT to check it out first. If the hissing is bothering you, then try masking it. Here are some masking suggestions. Take care. God bless.

1) Mask at bed time so you can sleep better. Find whatever sounds/music that are soothing to you. You can use a sound machine or sound pillow for this, or a computer with speakers.

2) If you need masking on the go, try load an ipod with nature sounds or music using itune. If you have a smart phone, you can download free APPs for soothing or T-masking sounds.

3) If you have computer and speakers, you can try these excellent masking sounds too:

TT's audio player: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/audioplayer/

or this online sound library, particularly the self-mix nature sounds: http://mynoise.net/

or download free sound generator 'aire freshener': http://www.peterhirschberg.com/mysoftware.html

or search youtube with words like 'tinnitus masking sounds', 'white noise', 'rain sound' etc.
