  • Does anyone have very high pitch loud tinnitus?
    Robster
    Me, unfortunately it became incredibly high pitch after I had the Pfizer vaccine. Hope yours quietens down.
    CrystalB
    @Robster i hope yours eventually will get quieter also!
    I got a puppy to keep my mind occupied instead of focusing on my tinnitus and other health problems going on,her name is Puffs

    @CrystalB cute dog! Yeah just keep your mind busy and build from there.
    LilSass
    Good for you CrystalB! She is adorable. I got my puppy, Teddy, one year ago, and he has brightened up my life tremendously and done wonders for my relationship with my husband, which has been under some strain with covid & health issues. Good luck getting through the first year! It is challenging but so rewarding. :)
    CrystalB
    @LilSass thank you! Is that Teddy in your picture? So Cute! I'm so glad things are going better for you now!
    I have bad heart burn/acid reflex.I noticed that when my acid is not as bad my ears are worse,also when my acid is worse my ears are better?
    CrystalB
    He said I would lose hearing temporary until it healed,I think he said it would help with pressure in the ear.They offered it too me, but I declined it for now, trying to deal with it without medication for now, it's hard. Are you on any? And does it help deal with it better? I read somewhere where someone had said that how they got use to there tinnitus was just not caring about it anymore.

    I'm not on any medication aside from trying the Prednisone pack. I'm going to an ENT to get checked out soon. Right now i'm in the same boat, trying to just get by without any additional medication, but we'll see. Are you able to sleep ok? The high pitch is making it hard for me.
    CrystalB
    Some nights it is about unbearable but I keep telling myself it won't stay like this it will go down some.I hope you have better nights.
    I go next week to see if my precancer has returned had surgery in May to remove it,now my stomach acid has been awful and my ears.Pray 4 Me
    I am about to loose it!Ive dealt with bad stomach acid for days,finally got some relief and my ears now are so loud they woke me up!
    Nadia231
    Hang in there! Some days are too tough, but hopefully you'll get better ones.
    CrystalB
    Thank you!
    Can anti acid medicine make tinnitus worse?Ive had major heat Burn for 7 days,took Tums and my tinnitus is booming?

    I have read others wondering if there's a correlation between reflux and Tinnitus, but, I've had reflux for 10 years easy, and T for almost 2.5.
    Robster
    Various over the counter medical dations can cause temporary spikes. Hopefully it settles for you.
    CrystalB
    Once one thing settles down seems like one fires back up. I've heard reflux can mess with the ears,but I've had reflux longer than tinnitus too
    At the moment I need some success stories on how anyone has hibernated to high pitch loud tinnitus,I'm hopeless right now.
    Wrfortiscue
    How high? Can crickets mask it?
    CrystalB
    I could try. It's extremely high pitch.
    Robster
    Wish I knew the answer. My T has been the highest pitch it has ever been today. This is a brutal condition.
    Yesterday I barely could hear my tinnitus,woke up this morning it's so loud and high pitch,How can I go on like this,how can I deal
    CrystalB
    Has anyone experience that?
    Robster
    It's good that you have found a way to reduce your T, but unfortunate that it involves provoking your allergies. Hope things improve for you.
    Exit
    Yes got it too sometimes.
    Just like my pillow can make it feels "easier"...
    I can't even swallow without my ears popping
    T
    ENT can't find anything wrong. MRI fine. I got it a couple of days after tinnitus, and someone suggested to me that it was probably caused by the stress/anxiety of that. I would love to know for sure - such an odd symptom.
    CrystalB
    That's the way mine is,got it after I got tinnitus,so weird.is your tinnitus high pitch?
    T
    All kinds of sounds, but not currently high pitched. Don't think the tinnitus pitch has any significance re cause etc, but there are others who disagree so I stand to be corrected.
    I had surgery in May,when I came out of surgery waking up I did not remember hearing tinnitus,even at home after surgery for about a day?
    Stacken77
    @CrystalB What a wonderful experience it must have been to experience silence, if only for a day. I don't know for certain, but if there was any anesthesia involved, it could have maybe silenced the tinnitus temporarily?
    CrystalB
    It did seem good.Tinnitus might had still been there but I might had been so out of it I couldn't hear it. If the anesthesia did have effect on my tinnitus would that mean my tinnitus is coming from my Brain?
    Robster
    Tinnitus emenates from the brain over amplifying the signals it sends after the ear's hair cells are damaged or compromised.
    My worst ear that is the loudest I've been plugging up because it's so high pitch it hurts,and to try to get use to the sound.Is that ok?
    I've had tinnitus over 4 years and I'm back to square one with it, how do I train myself all over again to accept it? This is me now.
    CrystalB
    Do any of you work? I need to work, but how?
    Steph1710
    @CrystalB yes, I work. :) It was hard at first, but it really is mind over matter. I told myself that I can do it, and T isn't/wasn't gunna stop me. You really have to be strong. I know you can do it! X
    Robster
    I'm still working from home due to the pandemic, but work want people to start doing a minimum of 2 days a week in the office from October. Dreading it.
    Is anyone's ears sensitive to sound?My tinnitus is so high pitch my ears hurt towards sounds of everyday living.
    Just curious, does anyone on here have singing or musical tinnitus?
    danielthor
    I'm in the dark about the difference between "musicial tinnitus" and "audiotory hallucination". I have a tone that's music, but it's also sometimes something from real-life conversation and even internal dialogue. Luckily most of gets drowned out by the piercing tone. If it was any louder I would go insane
    Steph1710
    Once I started humming to myself, and thought 'what is that tune?' Then I realised I was humming my tinnitus tune. -_- so yeah, my ears have a little musical thing going on.
    SD7
    I have this garbage in my right ear. It seems particularly sensitive to high frequencies. I work near a window downstairs and there are wind chimes outside and if I stay down long enough they become absorbed in my tinnitus. Usually evaporates after an hour or so.
    How can you habituate to your tinnitus when it changes so much everyday,anyone else's like this?so loud it takes over.
    CrystalB
    Can you hear yours over just about anything?
    danielthor
    When it spikes, yes
    LilSass
    Hi Crystal! I've now had tinnitus almost 2 years, some days are harder than others. Mine changes volume from day to day, it can be super quiet to being able to hear almost over everything. Not sure it will ever seem 'normal'. Hope you're doing ok! :)
    Does anyone else have a extremely high pitch tinnitus?and has hibernated to it?
    CrystalB
    I've had this for over 4 years, some days are okay but here lately I feel like I'm back at the first day it came. Do any of you have hearing loss?
    Damocles
    Well, spikes always make me feel that way @CrystalB. Take me right back to square one until they alleviate, or on the occasions where they're permanent, I get used to them.

    About the hearing loss: none that can be detected on a standard audiogram, no. But I find it highly unlikely that anyone with noise induced tinnitus wouldn't have (hidden) hearing loss to some degree.
    PortugalTheMan
    @Damocles If we think about it everyone has hearing loss, if our ear has a threshold of 0hz - 20khz everyone has high frequency hearing loss.
    I think for us with tinnitus, if it's not something in the brain it's something messed up in our inner ear, nobody knows what.
    It get better with time ... Mine I get some good days and some bad days . But I am thankful that it do get better .
    Has anyone experienced tinnitus for years and it goes away after years?the feeling of it not going away is hard to deal with.
    Sentinel
    After years and years we will probably have a treatment or cure if all else fails. That's what keeps me going.
    Bill Bauer
    Have you experienced Any fading over the past two years?
    CrystalB
    @Bill Bauer nope, mine fluctuates so bad,one day it's so quite,then there's like tonight where it's so loud I can't hardly stand it.I just done understand :(
    I've got over one thing,Had to have surgery May 4th it went good.Now I'm dealing with a Tinnitus spike,why this now?!
    Does Weather effect anyone Tinnitus?
    Lurius
    I've just wondered that myself, I made a post about it just a few days ago. But we have super sunny weather today so I don't think it does after all. If it did, my T would be ok today.
    CrystalB
    True.I have thought it could be weather but my tinnitus has got worse and it's been sunny.
    hi did you do your surgical procedure? i just started hearing ringing in my ears this month and im having popping in both ears. i saw on a post that you had the same thing. has anything worked for you?
    CrystalB
    I did have my surgery done,and it didn't effect my ears at all,so glad for that.Sounds like we have Similar Tinnitus problems.I saw a ear Exercise on YouTube a while back I do every once and awhile,it seems to help with my fullness in my ears.
    I having a surgical procedure done next month,I'm nervous,maybe a dumb question,does anyone know if general anesthesia effect tinnitus?
    Has anyone had tubes put in there ears,did it help with tinnitus?can you tell any difference?
    just1morething
    I had them put in and it didn't help. My loud noise in left ear is either barotrauma caused or TMD. Is your noise in one ear or both?
    CrystalB
    My tinnitus is in both ears but my rights seems worse. I have ETD and I wondered if tubes helped with the tinnitus or the feeling full.
    I had a ocular migraine,3 days later I got tinnitus,I've had tinnitus ever since.they day of my ocular migraine I panicked and screamed.
    Fightingscream
    Sorry to hear this. How long have you had this going on for?
    CrystalB
    I've had it for almost 4 years! Long time lol
