What Noises Do You Hear and Is There Any Correlation Between the Noise and the Underlying Cause?

what noise/s do you hear and is there any correlation between the noise you hear and the underlying cause ?

 

I hear a ringy hissing sound with electrical current noise all of which seems to be coming from my head and not my ears.I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

 

Omg! I was just thinking this yesterday morning but too afraid to post as I thought it would be a question that would go under the radar. So I am so glad you posted this Deb.
So my noise is a hiss sometimes static type of noise. And I believe my tinnitus derived from a terrible cold and slot

 

Should read a terrible cold and a lot of stress at the time.

 

a friend of mine seems to think there is a connection between the type of noise we hear and the cause of onset..i hear a central constant shhhhh noise that sounds like a far away gas leak...along with a constant, sometimes pulsing hissing on my right side that localises to my right ear during a spike. preceding a spike, I always have a blocked ear. why is that?

 

Ive think so. Ive read several times about peoples description of their T and they add "I have (or had) a cold, allergies, etc..." And the sounds they describe are very similar to mine.

 

Mine is a hissing in my head. I think it is loud since I can always hear it.
Was caused by high level of stress. Sudden onset like a binary switch.
Never had T or anything with my ears before.
I think this high level of stress started neurons in my brain to fire like crazy.
Never had any depression, anxiety or sleep problems before.
Still on the road towards habituation, but it is damn loud.

 

I have the same hissing sound with the electrical current noise. It sounds like it surrounds my head although I only have T in my left ear/side of head/temple. In the morning when I wake up it's more like a ringing/cicada sound but changes after I'm up a while. Some days it goes so low as to be a squeal but not more than one or two days a week.

 

A year ago mine started as a sharp, high-pitched 'dental tool' (very loud); now it is a hiss/shh sound with half the volume

 

You mentioned that yours started from a loud noise. Was it just one incident or a series of loud noises since years ?

 

Whoa! Hard to believe that just one incident caused it. The concert must have been super loud I guess. Also it must have be so hard and unfair for you in the beginning I can imagine. Sorry that you have to go through all this. May god help you become more stronger and overcome this. Has it gone away at any point of time since 15 years ? I mean not intermittent but gone for a long time like days or weeks or months?

 

My own sounds like the noise of a tv on in my head

 

Same for me. Many have this kind of T since it is often in the high frequencies above 6 khz.
It sound like electrostatic noise or an old CRT TV.

 

Ive asked this before, but wondered if anyone had anything to add...

is there a correlation between what we hear and the cause?

 

For me, it does not seem to be acoustic trauma, it's from ototoxic meds and without hearing loss. Therefore, I don't hear eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, but more like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Like a TV that is not on the right channel. I also hear a morse code (very very faint) on the right.

I've heard eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee after being around loud noises (before I had T) and it always went away in the morning.

 

Interesting, I hear an "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" sound (never had a 'shhhhhh') maybe it's not ototoxicity for me after all

 

My left ears Tinnitus sound like a normal sinus tone at 4000hz /4khz. It is extremely sound reactive but not loud in total. Lets say 2-3/10.

My right ears Tinnitus sound almost exactly like a "morse code machine" beeping at 1400hz

 

Mine sounds like a very high pitched static/white noise sometimes it sounds electrical almost. Sometimes it's like the 'eeeeeeeeeeee' sound just very high pitched. It also goes through cycles loud one day, lower the next, loud, quiet etc and is reactive to television or other loud sounds.

They aren't sure the cause. Either pregnancy related, mild hearing loss or stress induced.
