Have you heard of hidden hearing loss or central hearing loss from head trauma?

My experience is that the head position can alter the feel of tinnitus just as your environment can. If you feel it’s better, then put on earmuffs and you might realise it’s just the same sounds you hear.

Yes absolutely. Acoustic trauma seems to be the largest cause of hyperacusis along with others, like ototoxic medications, head injury, etc. It's not surprising that around 85% of those with hyperacusis also have tinnitus, both of which were likely caused by noise damage in most cases...

Tinnitus is so frustrating. I remember this study in which Amitriptyline had been studied as a treatment for (and purportedly shown to improve) subjective tinnitus. Efficacy of amitriptyline in the treatment of subjective tinnitus

When I had HBOT the doctor asked me after a few sessions if I had any voices or screams, sounds that feel like ending of words in my head. She said she had some patients with this and they got worse. So I guess it must be pretty common. I'm seeing a psychiatrist and she wants me to take pills...

@pinklights98 You may want to go see a TMJ specialist and get fitted for a nightguard. Recently I talked to a neuroscientist through Facebook who had just developed tinnitus from acoustic trauma himself (loud concert). He said that his t got so much better after he was fitted for nightguard...

Could those neck/muscle problem cause 24/7 tinnitus? Otherwise I'm still convinced it's acoustic trauma (I realize I put "noise-induced" in my original thread title, which I believe is incorrect). I'm just still wrapping my head around 1) the fact that headphones and/or car speakers could have...

@Screamin Ears Screamin Ears My neuro believes that I have occipital neuralgia which resulted from dental trauma. Occipital neuralgia can also be caused by whiplash such as with a car accident or by lifting. It's caused by a pinched nerve in the neck or by tight muscles at the back of the...

First of all glad you are curious, most people don't care. In a nutshell tinnitus is disruption in the the auditory brain (pusatile tinnitus is not true tinnitus) Three most common causes of tinnitus 1: Hearing loss 2:TMD and (neck/jaw problems) 3: Direct trauma to the auditory brain itself...

Definitely like the concussion simile. I know a guy locally who is a rugby player. He had loads of concussions. Went to see him fight a Thai boxing exhibition fight. One kick to the head and he was OUUUUUUUUT. Suffered massive memory loss after, kept re-introducing himself to people. There's no...

The real fix is an ENT taking you seriously and either surgery or a blood patch... because that shit is fixable.

In plain English or non biological terms: Your joints are normal size and shape. TMJs are smooth and rounded without defects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUT: Your mandibular plane and vault is a little deep and narrow. This is...

@PatrickG , Karma decided a blunt forced trauma to my skull with a metal rod was due. Two months later, T suddenly started when I lay down in bed and never stopped. I've severe hearing loss in one ear plus multiple reactive noises. Still, I try to do some martial arts. Though, no direct blows...

This I think shows more than anything that tinnitus is more of a brain problem than ear problem. It may start with the ear, like an injury for example, but the noise is generated and sustained by the brain. I see that you have indicated that your tinnitus was caused by head injury and acoustic...

As a 45-year-old man, let me give you some advice. True love from a woman does not exist, so don't beat yourself up over it. Just go on YouTube and type in MGTOW, and you will understand. I am speaking from experience and not misogyny. This is just the way women are programmed by nature and...

@Nick Pyzik Thanks for your post but you lost me in some of your thoughts.Stop the ringing,but the problem will still be there?. We lost our younger self?. I could be wrong,but are you saying that our emotions are a cause of T ?. What about the stories of loud music,head trauma etc.. causing T?.

Hi all, I've had t for 7 weeks now caused by noise trauma, really hit me hard, appears to be in my right ear, although the noise has changed a lot from head buzzing and a high pitched noise to just high pitch noise, as of today this has increased significantly in volume and am back to panic...

Unfortunately not, as a matter of fact, my ENT won't even acknowledge that tinnitus can come from head trauma. He says I have hearing loss and that's what caused it.

...left ear drum vibrates sometimes and I can hear and feel it. It's so random tho.. like few times a week only. I have T in both ears from head trauma. However I'm not concerned about ear drum random vibration.. it's the least of my worries.. My ENT has checked everything and got inner ear...

Mike.. sorry to hear about your 2nd accident. That's what I'm afraid of.. another head trauma and my T will spike. That's why I stay mostly home on weekends. My T has gone down especially after lumbar puncture. I only hear T at night when trying to sleep and in quite rooms... but that could...

@Simon Czt With displacement of the articular disk of the jaw as you describe would involve compressive force to your retrodiskal tissues. This could associate to pulling of the lateral pterygoid muscle. Trauma from this associates to cervical hyperextension or/and from hitting head. Retrodiskal...

...reply to private messages for some reason? But look at my second post, I answer some of your questions there. I have no ear pain, sounds don't seem loud to me at all. No history of neck or head trauma or brain issues. Only thing is that my jaw makes a clicky noise sometimes when I yawn or eat.

Yes I think my tinnitus is somatic. It gets louder when I massage my neck for example. She told me to massage the top of the muscle which goes all the way down my neck behind my ear. I think it's called the SCM muscle and she told me that my pterygoid muscle was tight especially on the left side...

Weirdly, I actually find relief in louder environments. My T is idiopathic (not noise or trauma induced), so I have no pain or actual ear damage. The noise is all coming from my brain. So louder environments, like the market, actually help me to forget about the ringing. It drowns out the noise...

Hey my lovely! Yes, I've experienced very loud events which spiked my tinnitus. However, my tinnitus came down to it's original volume/sounds after a few days of the sound trauma. One time was the car stereo being left up on full volume by my partner using the car before me. I turned the car...

...Before my tinnitus i had terrible health anxiety for a few months so maybe that had also something to do with my onset ( together with my head trauma/cold or long time noise). I‘m sure you will improve, is your nose still full? Maybe also your ETs are a bit full so maybe steam inhalation...

A bolshie know it all attitude towards a doctor will get a person absolutely nowhere. I have never had a problem with a GP. I have a very good rapport with my ENT consultant. She helped me a lot when I was going through a very difficult 4 years, caused by a second noise trauma.

One of the most common causes of hyperacusis is exposure to loud noise/acoustic trauma. Other things can cause it too. Head Injury Adverse reaction to medication or surgeries Chronic ear infections Auto immune disorders The side effects of drugs Lyme disease TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint...

@BrysonKingMe, 1. When you say that the head tinnitus is gone, you mean completely? 2. So do you still have the electrical tinnitus? 3. What's your tinnitus now compared to before you went to South Korea? Like if it was a 9/10 before, what do you rate it now? Thanks for the help!

...or brain. Unfortunately i also acquired a light/mild case of hypercusis where the T amplifies with certain sounds. Full recovery from head trauma is hit or miss. Some people get lucky and others don't. I think 1 year mark is the determinant. Careful with the Xanax! I've heard of many...

Hello All, I am posting this as at the moment I am feeling totally desperate and to make it worse I have no one to blame but myself. I have had tinnitus for a very long time since my early 20s from going to pubs / clubs (am now 42). About 7 years ago was the first time I got tinnitus which was...

There will be never be one cure for all types of T. So many different reasons people get T. Head,neck trauma, noise induced,anxiety etc. All you socalled experts saying no about this and that treatment. Some of you think you know so much..but you dont know jack shit. What works for one...

Well my good ear which started up 3 months after my trauma, is indeed the highest volume, but it has the most stable noises so I often don’t recognise it at all... Mine is like yours, when the noise gets to a certain sound/noise level it feels to be coming from the brain or better put from the...

I really can't tell you either way to go or what it will do. Ototoxicity was one of the reasons they said it might not work. Based off my results and the other guys' results it's a gamble. I don't think the money I spent was worth the reduction I got, but again I don't have the head hiss...

I basically had this, or something just like it after my acoustic trauma. It sounded like my voice curved off to the left ear and was all fuzzy and distorted in my right. Despite both ears testing equal and in normal thresholds. I was able to clear it up with massage techniques. Turned out, I...

I found Tinnitus Talk lingering in my email today, and I was reminded of how much brief but intense support I garnered from this website when my tinnitus was so bad that I contemplated suicide. That was in 2014. I remember coming across a forum thread here where people commented on the lack of...

Are things any better, @Aline Mohymont?

Unfortunately, no. After experiencing an acoustic trauma that was probably 90-110 dB for about 10 minutes in an MRI machine (it was a head MRI, so directly near my ear - I’m the dumbest person on the planet), I now have severe noise sensitivity (still do) to the point where putting a cup down...

Thank you. I bought the Dandelion tea the same day and it seems to be doing something. I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with my neurologist late this evening and she prescribe me Topamax or Topiramate for the headache. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I’m looking forward to...

...with static and hissing upon waking, but these symptoms have since resolved. As a side note, I saw a new neurologist specializing in head trauma who said the ringing might never go away and offered Lamotrigine if it becomes too much to handle. When I shared my story and current treatments...

I'm currently taking Topamax to control intracranial pressure and headaces due to head Trauma almost year ago.. I hate taking meds. All meds come with some long term side effects. No one knows if you take a particular med Trobalt etc..for 2 years what effect if will have on your kidneys...

Here are the links: This article talks about the symptoms of somatic tinnitus http://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/somatic-tinnitus/#.VMroctX3-ix Somatic tinnitus usually occurs in one ear only. There are a number of tinnitus properties that suggest a somatic component: 1 – Intermittency, 2...

I avoid going to bars and especially clubs where music is very loud and dumb girls grinding with any loser that walks by. My T is due to head trauma but since getting T if I go to a bar, club with out plugs my T spikes up the entire night. Fk T... before I would go to bars, clubs and never...

@Mathew Gould Was there neck soreness before the jaw problem or the opposite? Jaw problems can cause neck problems, but way more often the neck causes jaw problems. If the neck soreness started first, was it caused by muscle trauma, lifting, bending head forward within some activity - head...

Hi... I can still hear some stuff of the outside world, so it’s not just my head noise... a week in and this hasn’t been getting better... I’m just not sure which way to go. Last night scared me, I’ve never heard my tinnitus that loud, to the point I almost couldn’t drive. I think I will try...

Hello Peter, I've come across your post looking for information on reactions to CT scan contrast, as I am supposed to have one soon. Now I think I will try to do without :( May I ask if you have ever had any ototoxic damage prior? As for the intratympanic injections, perhaps I can help - they...

Do you feel that the reason medications have such a heavy hand in your hyperacusis is because the origins of your disorder is from chemo and not acoustic trauma? Just a thought, the amitriptyline just screwed you over too. I'm just saying it's possible you could be very sensitive to meds - not...

No, mine has not. :( To answer your question. That is probably because it is more of a neurological problem for you than an ear problem. (it can be both) My acoustic trauma hit my left ear the hardest, and the left side is where the baseline tone that never goes away is the worst. That...

...the brain also has neuroplasticity, so under certain conditions it can compenstate. That's my take on it. Edit, well I shouldn't say brain damage unless head trauma, but maybe it goes into a hyperactive state which is very hard to reverse. Also I really doubt tinnitus is a government conspiracy.

I sustained a concussion last year. I was put on high dose Quercetin. My tinnitus at the time was unchanged.

I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering so much from tinnitus and hyperacusis. As you've read in my success stories (I’ve shared two), I had hyperacusis twice, and both times, it faded in roughly 9 to 12 months. Hopefully, your hyperacusis will fade over time, too, which is often the case when...

I would doubt it. CTE is usually caused by bruising to the lining of the brain be it from repeated blows to the head such as a boxer or rugby player. It’s this bruising that is thought to release proteins which cause the degenerative brain disorder. Acoustic trauma can however cause tinnitus...

Likewise, @CW Dragon - I appreciate accompanying you as a fellow traveler on this crazy path! I'm also O negative and am not sure I buy any correlation between my blood type and my susceptibility to hearing loss. And, at least in my case, I'm not surprised that my left ear was affected, as I...

It was just a thought. I’m on a couple BP medications. I know how despondent people get with loud noise in their head. Better to let the Dr. know if you are dropping a BP med. You never want to risk having a stroke.

I apologize I missed this comment, yeah hidden hearing loss to the moon. lol
