She had a gym injury, excessive straining while lifting, and she started having head pressure/headache immediately and tinnitus a few days later, so it is not clear if it started because of the diuretic she was put on or because of the actual injury. But: After a month she felt better and she...

Very positive they only did the audiogram. None of it was loud at all, just two of the frequencies were uncomfortable to sit through but wasn't loud by any means. Once it was done they took me out of the booth and went over my results. Did the spike subside? I'm on day three now and it seems...

I thought her explanation was: "The brain, and specifically the region of the brainstem called the dorsal cochlear nucleus, is the root of tinnitus," says Susan Shore, the U-M Medical School professor leading the research team. "When the main neurons in this region, called fusiform cells, become...

You need to tread carefully and not rock the boat. When I suffered my noise trauma 25 years ago, my whole head was completely numb. I could hear but it felt like my head was under water. I was so frightened I kept it to myself, so friends and family only knew I had tinnitus and hyperacusis. The...

I'm reading this with great interest. Myself, I suffered a head injury back in January. My T is not pulsatile however, it is a constant tone, high pitched, primarily in my right ear (or right side of the head). Applying pressure to my temple region, moving my jaw a certain way, and...

I only say this because I cant think of anything else that could have caused it. I diddnt go anywhere loud or change my diet or have any head trauma. I did read somewhere that codeine was ototoxic, but I dont remember where I read it

All acoustic trauma or very loud prolonged noise exposure guarantees some hearing loss even if it does not show up on a 250-8000hz audiogram. Protect your hearing and hope for the best recovery. No guarantee's but get a steroid to be safe. If you had tinnitus mildly before did you suspect...

Yeah true. It's just weird because I worked out for literally four years and my tinnitus never changed. It started getting worse when I started lifting over 450 pounds. I hope I didn't damage anything.

I think it's from both acoustic trauma and medications. I was in music for many of years, and blasted music in my ears throughout having chemo too, using headphones. My plan is to taper the medications I am on now, and go onto Cannabis for pain. Hopefully the tapering will make a difference. I...

I had tmjd.... Years before the trauma...but I wasn't exposed at higher until it happened....now I feel more myofacial pain.... Forward head bending...That's me :( I'm always like that... Mouth open too long.... I do that too... Clenching...yes Neck pain....yes before and after. Oh...

This sounds a really good success story - and one, as I also had mild tinnitus since birth that got worse after trauma, that I needed to read today. Can I ask whether your tinnitus was ever sound reactive - and over those four years did you protect your ears much when out and about, or not at all?

Because your T was caused by direct head trauma which probably damaged your audiotory brain, perhaps in the future signal timing and epilepsy drugs will help. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/new-university-of-michigan-tinnitus-discovery-%E2%80%94-signal-timing.2805/page-2 Please keep in...

Not screaming. Discharging a very large high pressure air tank with my head on the other side of it in a small 8'x6' room. There was no reason to discharge it at all and he happened to have hearing plugs in at the time for whatever reason.

A typical feature if head trauma T is delayed onset. Infact closed head injury patients have a wide variety of other neurological deficits that appear in days and weeks and not immediately. This is due to cell death in the brain and this process takes some time. My T started after about 24 hours...

So then what is different about pusatile tinnitus?

Same but I haven't experienced any more hearing loss since my last accoustic trauma. Actually what you just said kind of matches up with the type II afferent theory going on in the FX-322 thread right now regarding hyperacusis.

Almost never, changed a little after I got injections into the eardrum, but I think that was just the procedure. After a couple weeks it was back to the same damn high pitched buzzing in my head that can't be masked. Does that mean it's more chronic if it never changes? It seems like...

Most football players have T. Google it. Especially if they had a few concussions while playing. I too have T from head trauma.. but I think mine is due to high intracranial pressure. Normal icp is usually 5 to 15. Mine was 33.. my head felt like it was going to explode until I got a...

Steve, I appreciate your positive energy and dedication to this site and cause. I'm 2.5 weeks having T, (acoustic trauma , TMJ) On a Prednisone steroid, preparing to deal long term & have many side effects I've had good days just accepting my sounds and using the advice on this site. My one...

Damn thats so harsh. If it makes you feel a bit better, i had the same experience with my ent. I told him i got t from a concussion. He said thats impossible, its stress...

@Mathew Gould There can be good or bad results with device that you point out in post above to place a curve back from a straightened C spine from forward neck injury. Constant pressure on neck muscles may end up straightening C spine more. If one's atlas is tilted to one side, device can do...

There was nothing that I could do to protect my ears from random acoustic trauma and once the brain fog became permanent, I had to retire from my job as I could no longer focus; this was six years ago. After going through the five stages of grief, I've accepted my tinnitus as a part of my...

i got T due to a hard slap on my left side of the head = ear -> perforated ear drum etc. So in my case left ear. Of course they ask you where the T sounds is most present in my case left and center of head. This means that ear projects (how they call it) the sound from left to center..

Hi David, welcome my friend. When this awful noise started in my head I too had the horrific hyperacusis but after about 3 months the hyperacusis went away completely and now I only deal with the noise. Please keep your head up and be positive because there is a good possibility that the...

Had an acoustic trauma on a nightclub the same time as you. The first two weeks it was loud!! 10/10!! Now its 7/10 some days better than others, But mostly loud! Still hoping it will fade over time because its only been two months. My sound Also changes all the time from left to right ear to...

Thanks for your message @undecided , From your mouth to god's ears My T was definitely brought on @ the onset of my head trauma, the aspect that makes it more complex is the preexisting high-frequency hearing loss on the side of trauma. Praying that that doesn't preclude me from the likelihood...

I'm glad I brought this out, and hope it explains the trauma the brain absorbed from the falls. We don't understand what happens but soon we feel the side effects from it. Stay strong.

Hi, I'm Drew. I'm a 25 year old musician and writer. I don't know what else to do - I just need to tell my story to someone who will listen and maybe understand. On July 10, 2020 I was visiting my grandparents in Colorado. They live in the mountains, and we decided to go into town for some food...

Thanks for explaining. My hyperacusis is getting better but not good enough. I am able to drive and just went to a bar tonight with earplugs and stayed away from louder parts. Still cannot work. Yes, the most annoying part of my tinnitus is how insane the fluctuations are, seems to be common in...

Neurons don't die like that, usually they can die from an oxygen deprivation in the case of a stroke, a head trauma or aging so I wouldn’t worry about this. And I agree with @Contrast in regards to the hidden hearing loss which is also the case for me, I would then have to wait for the drug to...

Hello :D Steve here, 58 male. My tinnitus started with the casual and gently "weeee" sonic noise at about in 1985. Hardly noticeable till you rest your head on the pillow for a good night's sleep. Years later, at about 1998, I started getting an much louder oscillating crescendo of "weee"...

Sorry Freeatlast - I’m pretty hopeless at navigating this site. The acoustic trauma happened on my left side; that’s where the noise came in, as I stand to the right of the band. Sometimes I hear ‘T’ in my left ear, but sometimes in my head. I still play traditional jazz trombone, but use an ear...

My noise changed to my head so an injection probably wouldn't work. This person talks about diet and certain things to take that are anti-inflammatory. https://drjockers.com/tinnitus/

...can happen easier under these conditions if mouth is open and pressure to the jaw is happening. A dental procedure, falling down, head trauma or whiplash. Or clenching teeth with lifting and being off balance. Some hearing loss will take place 50%-70% of the time depending on issues...

If the head pain is very bad I take paracetamol, which I believe is the safest pain killer if we have Tinnitus. But @Greg Sacramento is an expert on pain meds.

Thank you Greg. I’ve been working out for the past few months, doing bench pulls, pull-ups etc, my neck was stiff, my traps would get sore and I would resort to stretches. I had an instance of tinnitus for 5-10 seconds few weeks prior, where I made a sudden neck movement to the right while lying...

I'm sorry to hear that. Well as you know, surgeries like this (hifu, dbs) are done only as a last resort.

Fluctuation is a good sign, especially if it fully disappears sometimes. I'd say your chances are pretty good. This part intrigues me, as this was the first discovery I had with my T (3.300 Hz). My T originates from the neck muscles though, and is not sound induced. Did you recently experience...

This is my first post, and I got my tinnitus from an ototoxic med (glipizide), which resulted in a bi-lateral inner ear infection. A few months later, the doctor gave me a prescription for Remeron, for sleep, and just 2 mg of this med resulted in partial deafness in my left ear, and damage in...

Hi @Taylorslay The symptoms you are experiencing are associated with noise trauma and in time they will fade. Remember, many people that have noise trauma have not made the improvement you have in such a short period of time. Just take it easy and carry on taking each day as it comes. Try not...

@Pwndex I think that very soft touch finger movement on the neck may be fine, but I haven't figure out from reading if it's ready advisable for TMD. There's several debated subjective causes for TMD. Then there's actual causes that includes dental trauma and having mouth extended in an open...

...individuals and not others, the one ways tinnitus might consistently fade if there was a way to restore lost hearing or some experimental epilepsy drugs. All that I mentioned is clinical and pre-clinical research about a decade away. Alternative causes are TMD, cervical problems and head trauma.

What do you mean by saying I don't have physical tinnitus? I have head and ear tinnitus, and my head tinnitus is somatic. It doesn't change with jaw movements, but if I press on my zygomatic process it zings. I've always wondered why that is. That's an interesting comment. Maybe the...

@bolive, Your tinnitus from the noise trauma will be your base sound. Tinnitus can change sound and add sounds and change strength for a reason and for no reason and have it in one or both ears or head. Stress and anxiety feed tinnitus and tinnitus feeds stress so it is important to learn to...

Yes, it's pretty common to ask for a head MRI when you have unilateral tinnitus/hearing loss that you can't attribute to anything (acoustic trauma, etc). This is done to rule out an Acoustic Neuroma, which is a benign tumor (that's what I think you refer to as "cancer"). The odds of having an AN...

My saffron arrived from India Tinnitus: Acoustic trauma (2 years 3 months) Day 2: It is my second day and I notice that my tinnitus is not centered in my head as usual. Just a little to the left which is unusual. The noise level a little lower than usual. Slightly noticeable but it catches...

Exercise actually helps the pain a lot. It’s the only thing that works. But remember before my noise traumas I got a perilymph fistula or some leak in my head. Before I even developed noxacusis I was having issues with my right ear having this deep pressure feeling and distortions. Every time I...

My belief is that it's pretty much always a matter of hearing loss, but many different types of events can cause the brain to latch onto it and generate tinnitus, be it a quick loss of hearing during an acoustic trauma, a long term loss of hearing while working in a factory, stress, a hit to the...

I am so appreciative for your generosity to post. I know you get the despair here. What I am curious about is this: I have a central gas leak in my head, that doesn't respond somatically or to residual inhibition. I also have peripheral noise (more towards the ears) that can respond. Was your...

@Bill Bauer Try not to worry over this. Your auditory system has suffered a noise trauma and it will take time to recover, trust me. I went through a similar thing and much more. For many months my head was completely numb and everything sounded like my head was under water. Very frightening as...

Maybe because people start clenching / grinding their teeth because of stress which is caused by T.

Hi Sen: Some have somatosensory tinnitus which isn't always about their ears. Somatosensory T is often from head or neck trauma, manipulation of the teeth, jaw or cervical spine. Often they pain in their head, neck, face or shoulders and may have bruxism. This type of tinnitus sometimes can...

Thanks for the advice, only a certain select of friends are loud and yes I have had an audio gram of my hearing and it was viewed by an ENT who said it seems all fine. I will choose to keep quiet about my condition as many people know about it but not all, will avoid those certain people though...

@Mila9828 We treated hundreds over the years with labyrinthine concussion which is a condition which occurs following trauma to the head and/or inner ear. It can also be present without a well-defined radiological injury and is characterized by inner ear symptoms such as tinnitus, dizziness, and...

Just if anyone is reading or following this - I got it checked out at the hospital today. My right ear had become inflamed due to the trauma of microsuction. They said it can happen sometimes and should settle within a couple days - got an anti-inflammatory ear spray and took a couple of...

Ok, I'm not very smart, so I need to state that first. If you have access to a decent ENT, do it. 2nd, your tinnitus may be related to your TMJ, it's physiological and can be treated with massage and other therapies, it's different than noise trauma, which I have. 3rd, a bunch of...

@InDespair Agree. Posture and forward head bending can lead to many conditions and diseases where multiple physical reactions happen and any trauma with that can cause tinnitus. Your mention of scapular is discussed in this link. There are also other articles by the authors that are worth...

So it's been 17 days since my first injection. At this point in time I can still hear the high pitched whistle in my right ear. However, now there seems to be a very loud low pitched hum constantly which seems to come from my head rather than my right ear, which was affected by the acoustic...
