Ah, it's actually £110 to purchase the Textbook of Tinnitus (published in 2024), a collection of articles by various authors, including Rauschecker. His chapter spans pages 221–230 and costs only £19, which I might buy out of curiosity. I've downloaded your Tinnitus Gating Model and plan to...

Hi @Jos. Both a neurologist and an ENT would be a good idea. You want to explore all available options. Did you go to the doctor/hospital following the head trauma?

Hello guys. Something very strange happened to me 4 months ago. I got up and got a hard hurting punch in my head without any head trauma symptoms but I felt a strange noise and my ear got stuck right after this. My doc said I have wax and it must be removed. I got my bloody tinnitus 3 days...

I think the perception of tinnitus possibly can also depend on the original cause eg. noise induced, ototoxicity induced (which can affect both the cochlea and the auditory nerve), head trauma, etc.

The only thing consistent with tinnitus is inconsistency. I think going to a restaurant is too uncontrolled to be safe for someone with relatively new tinnitus, but you will find your limits by experience. The hard thing for me was linking the experience to my tinnitus level, as there was...

...press on my right temporalis muscle it gets louder. I get the odd "fleeting" extra tone that scares me every time. It's been a draining few years. All audiologists say no hearing loss, mild head trauma a few years back (nothing serious)... no neck problems though I do have a bad...

I got T 50 days after assault. How long after your head trauma did you get T?

The immune system can be related to an acoustic trauma? How?

Hydrogen peroxide can be a cause of t?

What do you think caused your tinnitus, were you around loud noise, ototoxic drugs, loud mp3 players, head trauma, TMD, cervical spine issues? Finding the problem could fix it or give you some hope for future research

I have been trying to protect both ears equally for over 2.5 years and my T (new tone) is louder in my formerly good (better) ear. :dunno: Come to think of it, after the initial acoustic trauma, my T moved into my head. The head T is very intrusive and reactive. Do you have 'head T' or is it...

Quite possibly @lapidus ...lots of folks have ended up with H from head trauma. I know one woman's daughter did after being bullied and having a soccer ball kicked at her head! Poor kid.

What's the rationale behind this statement?

It's been one month today. Not much has changed. The high-frequency tones in my head/ear are still as annoying as they were on the first day. It spikes when I hear a similar tone, causing the volume of my tinnitus to shoot up for about an hour or so after hearing it. The positives are that my...

What about a late 2010 Lincoln Town Car, is that quiet enough? People with hyperacusis are also reactive to vibration and shock so a Prius would be bad. Electric doesn't solve the problem of road noise or motorcycles passing. For that you need double-pane glass and really good insulation. I...

Interesting. About 15 or so years ago I got the low rumbling truck engine ticking over on idle sound when I used a foam earplug to block out a neighbour's dog barking at 6 am every day. That noise then used to only come out for a month or so when I was sick with a cold. I would do everything to...

I think you shoud reduce activity as much as you can for a couple of weeks. Do not bend over, do not lift anything heavy, avoid coffee and salt, and take a mild diuretic like Dandellion root tea 2-3 times a day to reduce head pressure. I am not saying you have intracranial hypertension (if you...

Yes, mine is this ultra high pitched buzzing mosly in my head. It does get louder if I plug my ears. It's worse on the left side (that was the side facing my acoustic trauma).

I have a noisy job. I work at a ship yard with lots of loud bangs and noisy work. I have tinnitus and some hyperacusis due to noise trauma. Because of this I always wear both helmet mounted earmuffs and and earplugs to be safe. This works well and the earplugs alone have been tested to attenuate...

I just do not see how anyone with acoustic trauma related T would benefit from this, if it requires that you wear a head-set. I wore a head set once watching a TV show on low and my T increased /changed tone. No way in hell would I consider any type of sound therapy if I have to wear headphones.

@Nathalie The onset of my tinnitus 20 years ago I suffered with noise trauma. My head was completely numb for a while and thought I had blown my hearing completely. Things gradually improved....

Is your notch bilateral or unilateral? I saw in your introductory thread that you think an impact to your head/ear could have contributed to your issues. If the hearing loss is only on the side of impact, my hunch is that it could hint towards physical damage. I'm not a doctor nor a health...

I'm so sorry. Watching someone suffer might be even worse than your own suffering. Since when does he have tinnitus? Is he in the acute or the chronic stage? Do you suspect a cause? Like exposure to loud noise for a longer period of time (earbuds, noisy workplace, power tools) or acoustic...

...volume wise and basically stays that way most of the time with occasional setbacks. I think neck muscles also play a role in T after a head trauma. People who have had head traumas should get their neck checked. Most of the time what we think as post concussion syndrome is actually coming...

@I who love music Your method has been really working for me, experiencing a fade in the last couple of months. Then 4 days ago, I fell and hit the back of my head. Big spike still. Takes a lot of strength to calm the panic. Hoping it IS a spike and not a permanent change from the head trauma.

what is TBI?

...Every single episode the characters have gunshots going off next to their ears, massive explosions blowing around them, car crashes, head trauma etc... Sometimes when they get blown up they play a tinnitus ringing sound but it always goes away... if only. It would be so easy to just have a...

Hello, I am new to this site. I have had high-pitched tinnitus in my left ear for 28 years following an ear trauma caused by a diving accident. In that time I have adapted to it to the point that it never bothered me at all. At times the tone of my tinnitus drops from the high pitch to a low...

It’s bizarre. I’m sure this new head noise has not come from any noise trauma, I don’t work around loud sounds and never go to clubs. Pretty sure it’s to do with either the wax or my sinuses. I hope it goes away. Took me ages to accept my left ear tinnitus as permanent. I can achieve residual...

From noise trauma. First got it in 2001, and a permanent increase after a bigger trauma in 2014. It's loud high Hz hiss, both in the head and a cocktail of flickering hisses in the ears. My hearing is pretty bad across the board too, 20+ db, down to 40-50 at its worst. Good times... :p

Subjective T can be caused by many things. About 95% of T is subjective and about 80% get some hearing loss caused by nerve and/or hair cell damage. Yes, head trauma or noise is often a cause.

...No effect. @Samantha R - tinnitus of unknown origin, got treatment at Unique Access in Thailand, no effect (source). @friend - head trauma induced tinnitus. No effect. @whiskeykonteq - noise trauma induced tinnitus. I was able to contact him outside of Tinnitus Talk. His tinnitus is not...

Thats true, but I feel as if the doctor wont think its SSHL what do I tell him?

not it doesn't my tinnitus was from acoustic trauma and I experienced it in my head. However it is unknown if tinnitus in the head is a different subtype from tinnitus in the ears.

Unsure, since it started immediately during a cold, a month after a head trauma from a car crash. But who knows, i went clubbing often in my younger years, and i also used headphones. In any case i treat it like noise induced.

Thank you for your detailed post. From what we can figure out it appears to have come from a form of head trauma but we are not 100% sure. He is being seen by an ENT but the exact cause is uncertain at the moment. Reading this site to try and fill in some of the gaps. Thanks for your links

Yes it's usually a perfect storm scenario of hearing loss and "something else" and resolving the something else also seems to help. The most common "something else" along with hearing loss is TMD/TMJ, cervical issues, trigeminal neuralgia, head trauma and stress.

I did HBOT. It didn't help me that much but I have noise induced T. If you have head trauma induced T HBOT should be more useful. It also has been used for concussion related syptoms like migraines etc.

Is somatic tinnitus something we should be worrying about? I mean, we chew our food with our jaw, tighten our neck muscles when we look left or right etc. Are the tinnitus noises caused by the somatic aspect going to make our overall tinnitus problem worse? As in, push our baselines forward if...

...condition usually caused by any form of hearing loss from ear wax to sensori-neural, but it can also be brought on by neck jaw issues or head trauma https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208401/ Hearing Loss https://trainingandrehabilitation.com/association-tinnitus-neck-tmj/...

Contrast you lucky bastard. If you don't mind me asking what was your acoustic trauma? A concert or something?

Hi, I have had tinnitus in my left ear for 10 years. I habituated after some time and the tinnitus didn't bother me much after that. Almost two months ago I had an impact sound trauma at work that resulted in a new very high-pitched sound after about 3 or 4 days witch persists today. I am...

Sorry but you might never know the reason for your tinnitus. Try to learn to live with.

I’ve been reading posts online for a few months. And I’d like to thank you for all your postings and stories. I think that it’s finally time for me to write. It’s been almost three months. I’m an academic, I’m used to silence. I sit, I read, I write and I occasionally lecture. That’s pretty...

Just picking up on when you can be sure the washer was on/off next door, I can relate to that - when my hyperacusis was shall I say through the roof, and ears plugged up, before I started my self healing, and being kind to Ed work - I could have heard a pin drop in that next house you are...

It is all over the place and fluctuates by the minute and seems to be extremely responsive to body posture. For example, sitting down with head forward it will slowly increase over time, but does not do the same with standing. During cardio it whooshes/pounds/screeches with my cadence and ground...

Hey guys, I post the same thing all the time just in case someone didn't see my post. I always mention, and I am sure most of you know because like me, you researched the heck out of Tinnitus. But there are 2 ways to get T. Ear trauma and Neck trauma. Mine is through Neck trauma. Neck...

...tinnitus (with perhaps few exceptions). * Noise-induced: of course * Infection: of course * ETD: of course * Drug induced: of course * Head trauma: of course Any time there is cellular damage, there is inflammation. The better question is: is it the cellular damage, or the subsequent...

@JadeNYC when the T is associated with some clear cause (like head trauma), there is a big chance of it going away, even after a long period of time. Hopefully, your T falls into that category.

If it is dead/damaged hair cells, it will probably help. An OAE test can show the health of your hair cells.

@Greg Sacramento

I'm still confused how someone can get into a trial if the cause of their tinnitus was head trauma? Has anyone else tried to get in? (I don't qualify) Some people on this forum would qualify with flying colors but don't pay attention to research.

Thank you for sharing your amazing success story. You’ve gone through so much and survived it. My tinnitus has become very severe over the last few months. I have several tones, and it’s incredibly intense. I’m three months in, and I also have hyperacusis. It brings me to tears of joy to know...

Oh ok, I hope you aren't in pain or Anything. I will always pray for everyone affected by this forever

Kicked unconscious by three guys. Started then and has never stopped MRI showed no middle ear damage. ??? Guess this shit just happens to some people after a major head trauma. Gonna have to live with it unless some treatment works

I blame it on drugs, toxins or past trauma to the head or to the ears. My ears could take a hell of a lot of noise prior to barotrauma and ototoxic drug damage. Now, I have delicate glass ears.

My head screams, I was diagnosed with moderate traumatic brain injury a few years back, I am wondering if this makes tinnitus worse, it’s all over my head. I found after about 4 years this really calmed down until recently where I was exposed to some loud noise. Now back to brain shocks with...

If "having problems" includes sudden hearing loss and "one time problem" means exposure to extremely loud noise or blow to the head, yes... That just confirms what i thought, we dont have the same definition.. even the medical definitions are contradictory anyway.. cant blame anyone.

Update at nearly 10 months post acoustic trauma. It's still up and down. Currently I'm on what seems to be a spike, though I wonder how much the variability of my tinnitus intrusiveness is real vs. in my head. Whether I am continuing to improve or not at this point, I really can't tell. I...
