    Low Bass-Like Hum, As If Something Was Vibrating Inside My Ear: Is This Tinnitus or Something Worse?

    I'd like to update to my previous post that my vibration slowly diminished until it was a very subtle, inconsistent buzzing noise. It never really came in episodes, although I did have random days where it was gone. Last day I can confirm to have had it was 8 March, so lasted at least about 5...

    Unpleasant, Vibrating Spasm/Thump in Reaction to Sharp Sounds — Is This Hyperacusis?

    Hi, I've had a very strange and traumatic experience with my ear, which started off as an intense vibrating spasm which came out of nowhere in the middle of the day after a sinus infection on 30 January (my theory is that I had some sort of middle ear infection, although my ear didn't really...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    I recently got a form of tinnitus after what I suspect to be an ear infection, and upon learning that NAC can prevent tinnitus and help with ear infections I bought some Acetylcysteine (Granon). It says Acetylcysteine and not N-Acetylcysteine but from my understanding it's the same thing. But...

    Is Phenoxymethylpenicillin (aka Penicillin V or VK) Ototoxic? Can It Make Tinnitus Worse?

    I've been prescribed Phenoxymethylpenicillin, also known as Penicillin V or VK, but I can't for the life of me get my head around what type of antibiotic this is and whether it's ototoxic. I read that Aminoglycoside antibiotics are ototoxic, and that Gentamicin, Streptomycin, Tobramycin are...

    My Tinnitus Has Gone Crazy After a Cold — Low-Frequency Sound That Turns Off When I Speak

    @Ace, I really appreciate this response. What you describe sounds very similar to mine, and I'm glad you're not that bothered by it. After posting mine came back again Friday afternoon and stayed all weekend, I couldn't sleep or eat and was really suicidal. What worries me is that it doesn't...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Gone After Tenotomy of Middle Ear Muscles

    @Padraigh Griffin, I have fluttering, vibrating, bass-like noise in my right ear. It came a week ago out of nowhere right after a sinusitis. It was gone for about half a day Wednesday, then came back before disappearing for another day and half. Then came back and has been there ever since. Only...

    If a Tinnitus Sound Goes Away When You Plug Your Ears, Is It Actually Tinnitus?

    I have started experiencing this as well since a cold. It's been 6 days now, but I had almost 2 full days of silence before it came back. At one point popping my ears made it disappear for like 30 seconds before slowly creeping back. Feels like my eardrum vibrates and it is very physical as...

    My Tinnitus Has Gone Crazy After a Cold — Low-Frequency Sound That Turns Off When I Speak

    I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for a long time, and was seeing a psychologist talking about medications when a cold and subsequent tinnitus struck me. It was a horrible, pounding, basslike tinnitus which gave me severe anxiety and made me borderline suicidal. Luckily it...

    My Tinnitus Has Gone Crazy After a Cold — Low-Frequency Sound That Turns Off When I Speak

    I had a cold last weekend. On Sunday, after I felt like the cold had ended, in the middle of the day out of nowhere, I got this crazy loud, inconsistent bass-like sound in my ear. Had to check with my roommate to make sure he wasn't playing music. On Monday it was somewhat lower but I find it...

    Low Bass-Like Hum, As If Something Was Vibrating Inside My Ear: Is This Tinnitus or Something Worse?

    I'd love to keep this thread alive as this is the only thread I've found describing my exact tinnitus. I got it after a cold and it's really impossible to habituate as it's not a constant beeping sound bit rather a wonky, inconsistent bass that clearly cuts on and off when I talk or when others...
