Your pattern sounds very similar to my own. I've had ringing/hissing, mostly in my left ear, for about 7 years now. but last Summer, I suddenly developed pulsatile tinnitus on top of that. I went to my ENT and he ran a test to rule out a type of benign tumor that can be a cause. Then I went for...

Haha! Throbbing Gristle... Yeah, I couldn't imagine even trying to sleep through that ungodly racket, but I could listen to it for a little while. Probably not through headphones, though. I tend to avoid those now if I can.

Or maybe it's just because I wasn't anticipating a tinnitus forum to be a place for political banter. But I'm the new kid on the block, and that was clearly an incorrect assumption. So, have at it. I'll just stay out of this thread.

Like I say, it was just a suggestion. If you don't appreciate it, then don't take it. It's that simple.

Given that tinnitus - you know, that thing Tinnitus Talk was created for - is known to be exacerbated by stress, maybe a topic as incendiary and polarizing as politics should be left to other social media platforms. Just a suggestion...

Hey, at this point, I'm willing to try just about anything. What harm could it do? I downloaded the file. Kinda reminds me of the Industrial music I used to listen to at high volume in my younger years. Probably what gave me tinnitus in the first place! :LOL:

Just had my CT scan last week and received the results yesterday. The overall impression was "unremarkable." So, nothing really there to indicate a cause for my pulsatile tinnitus. My next step is to discuss it with my regular doctor at my appointment in a few weeks and ask for a referral to a...

It's definitely not a new thing for me, @billie48. The ringing/hissing has been going on for at least 5 years. Sometimes I am more conscious of it than others, mostly on those days when, for whatever reason, the noise is louder. When it disrupts my sleep, that is the worst! I use a white noise...

I should also have mentioned that I suffered a head injury and broken neck in a car crash in 2015. That would still mean a delayed onset of tinnitus by several years, but I have read that either of those can be a possible cause. I dunno what it was exactly, but at this point, I just want some...

Hi all! Just discovered Tinnitus Talk when searching, yet again, for tinnitus relief. Mine started around 5 years ago for no apparent reason. I was sitting in a quiet room when I had that sudden ringing that always subsided after about a minute in the past, but this time... it stayed, and never...
