Maybe you’ll have to wait a year or so to see improvements, people do improve whether it be ototoxic meds or noise trauma. I have talked to a lot of folks with ototoxic damage, some say they get better after 6 months, some took more time. You really just have to figure out what helps and try to...

I do not think it had to do with any pure tone audiometry hearing loss. My hearing is normal in the standard range. I have UHF loss, but had it before surgery. I didn’t lose any hearing from the surgery, as my before and after audiometry were almost identical.

Thank you very much for all this information! :) That's a lot of information to digest all at once, ahah. My "normal" tinnitus is due to a sound trauma, but it is somatic. When I said I hit my head, it was when I was a kid, like everyone else hits their head, I never went to the hospital for...

Or by the fact that they suffered a concussion. With memory and other concerns, obviously the accident caused some head trauma. Maybe swelling near the auditory nerve? Phil, have you had an MRI?

I was reading this website - and came across the same thing. I have left ear tinnitus that is like an electrical noise. More recently tho - I’ve got “head noise” like hissing in the head somewhere - no recent noise trauma however. Ears full of wax 2 colds in 2 months with blocked nose etc...

@ItsNate101 Last night while I was in my bed I heard something very similar to a distant female choir in my head. One of the interesting things is that during that sound electrical hiss tinnitus (in the head) stopped. I didn't even notice that until sound of choir stopped. I thought I was...

The last few days, I've been in severe pain from just previous moderate pain on left side - both top and bottom of oral cavity that is also causing ear pain, fullness and some hyperacusis. I do have oral infection that antibiotics have not solved. Discussion reasons: Infection - crestal...

If it's somatic physical tinnitus - yes as in link above, Somatic physical tinnitus start with forceful or strained movement of head, neck and/or jaw. Small acoustic signals are generated. The immune system can also be weak with infection which can react to many many parts of the ear...

...it's common knowledge in tinnitus communities that audiologist are wrong about hearing loss (they do not keep up to date with hearing loss research) http://hyperacusisfocus.org/innerear/#hiddenloss Because your tinnitus was caused by head trauma you may be a exception and not have hearing loss.

Yep, I had minor hearing loss, but never tinnitus. The tinnitus started immediately after a concussion in a car accident. Hearing tests before & after the accident showed no change in hearing. My tinnitus is static and all over my head. It often feels like it is coming from the top of my...

I understand the concern, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime event that’s still over six months away. I’ll make sure to bring appropriate hearing protection to reduce the decibel levels to a safe range. From what I’ve heard, this festival doesn’t blast music in the same way as rock concerts...

https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/somatic-tinnitus.812/page-3#post-253485 It's a good introduction: Many get this form of T, from nerve damage. Nerve and Jaw dental trauma will cause this type of T quite often. Then come the neck pain, jaw pain head ache, face pain and you name it. Some back...

Maybe you're developing musical tinnitus? It's a weird story, but I've heard that some people hear songs all day long after noise trauma. Come on Eileen sounds more pleasant to have than the sound of an airplane or a train that is consistently hitting the breaks o_O .

Yes I am progressively worsening, it could be due to all sorts of things, meds, noise, stress, head trauma, anything that affects the brain, because it's a brain thing and the brain latches on to every hearing loss, that's why new tones keep popping up. It's brain damage, but in the auditory...

Head and ear are similar. Same area and I can still have had a concussion and not know it. Either way if my ringing is now 30-40 DB is that a good sign it will for sure fade to something quieter?

Your trauma wasn't that severe as mine, I was in a loud concert. Already went to more than 4 ENTs. MRI, CT Scan normal. No infection.

Hi Stephan, thanks a lot for your kind words. It's quite encouraging that you were able to heal your hyperacusis. By the way, did you have loudness hyperacusis or pain hyperacusis? I don’t perceive sounds as being louder, but I do experience pain and a sort of muscle contraction at the eardrum...

Happy to help! Here’s my take on overprotection: It’s easier to undo noise sensitivity than to deal with the damage caused by sudden loud noises, like when an ambulance whizzes by out of nowhere with a 120 dB siren blaring just three feet away from people. I’ve found that overprotection indoors...

I know where you're coming from. I've just come off two days of misery and it's semi reasonable today. I know during the night tonight it's going to ramp up for another 2 days of torture. And the cycle goes on and on.

Did your doctor not recommend vestibular physical therapy? Surprised they would immediately choose meds over physical therapy if not, or at least a combination of both.

I'm saying hearing loss causes tinnitus based on this research. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208401/

Do you have a history of loud noise, headphones, loud cars? Any medications recently before tinnitus? Any head trauma, TMD, trigeminal nerve issues, cervical issues? Genetic hearing loss in the family?

Good day everyone, I've had acoustic trauma induced tinnitus since November 21st, 2020. These last two weeks my dizziness and eye pain has taken a toll. I went to the eye doctor, and she confirmed my eye health looks good. However, recently I've felt dizziness and a ton of head pressure...

Yeah, they all say hearing loss caused it seems. You wonder if it's compressed nerves in upper neck or possibly muscle spasms?

...for a walk everyday. My question is can you give me any advice to complete six week 'bed rest' successfully and should I even be going for a walk everyday or should I remain completely sedentary? Also, have I left bed rest too late given it's nearly three months since my head trauma? Thanks.

I remember corresponding with you back in 2017 when you wrote your first post on Tinnitus Talk. I am pleased that your hyperacusis has improved and you are in a much better place. Although I admire your optimism in wanting to enjoy your life to the full and regularly go to a shooting range...

SSHL can be caused by almost everything. An acoustic trauma is a cause of SSHL. As soon as there is damage or irritation you have a hearing loss. For instance, malformation of the inner ear head injury or trauma loud-noise exposure neurologic conditions immune system diseases Ménière’s...

I'm sure I've read this information on a study about HIFU but I don't remember where...regarding my story,I had an acoustic trauma nine months ago (while listening to loud music) with first tinnitus onset in the right ear and a slight hearing loss at 4k hertz. They disappeared with some steroid...

At this point I would settle for not waking up everyday like I was in a car crash and am waking for from massive head trauma. I seriously would be ok with a tone running constantly if it was somewhat localized to my ears and not piercing my brain, so in essence I would gladly pay for an...

My tinnitus sounds like thousands of high frequency crickets that are all discordant, asynchronous and ever changing. I also have so many different tones that I could start a big band. And it only gets louder. I went grocery shopping with my wife early last week; I always wear silicone earplugs...

...hairs in ears were working fine too. My jaw clicks sometimes but no pain so my physiotherapist and dentist ruled TMJ dysfunction out. No head trauma (I mean I fell sometimes as a child but I think that's normal lol). As far as cervical issues, my c1 and c2 are rotated (c2 by 14 degrees) but...

Please , can you describe at how many ATAs where your sessions ?

I am in late 40s, I had a happy life, I have wonderful wife and children. Great career, job, good future professional prospects. Good money and savings. Fun hobbies, toys. Yet, I am in the similar spot like you. I don't believe I will be able to crawl out of that deep depression. 4.5 months...

@binsonica What you describe is the same with me. I had loss of normal lordosis from muscle trapezius spasm trauma and jaw pressure - whiplash. Bones are normal without fracture and soft tissues are within normal limits. This is often the case. My noted arthritis could be a secondary factor...

Well damn, I have a bit of them now.

...cerebral artery-cavernous sinus fistula Direct anterior cerebral artery-cavernous sinus fistula is an extremely rare complication of head trauma. We describe a male patient (age 49 years) with a history of head trauma 15 years ago who was hospitalised for a bulging red eye and tinnitus...

Damn. After my acoustic trauma, I got ear fullness. I did Valsalva maneuver numerous times. 11 days after my acoustic trauma, I got T. Reading the above, makes me suspect that I might have given myself the gift of T by doing that Valsalva maneuver......................

@Steve G Hi Steve: I have somatic electrical noise with a pulse. Sometimes it will be focused on my left side around the temple. Many with somatic tinnitus will have symptomatic tension signals from toughened muscles in the innervation area of the sensory trigeminal nerve related to the acoustic...

I am right there with you, except in your case I really don't think that there is any cause for concern. You are so young. Most people don't get Meniere's until they are much older. Plus, what you have described sounds like Labyrintitis. Have you had any head or neck trauma that might make...

...the jarring motion of driving on an uneven surface shook up my tinnitus. It happens if I bang my head accidentally as well or other such head trauma... I researched the side effects of Pepsi and aspercreme, and both have tinnitus as a side effect over long term use. I believe these...

Oh, I know I have tinnitus, that was diagnosed. I said the cause of it is unknown. I have health issues which may have caused it, but I never had head trauma or prolonged exposure to loud noise.

...up, followed by neck pain, dental procedures, jaw/pain, sciatica pain and self cleaning of ears. Data about the use of drug medication, head trauma, genetics, blood vessels, bones in ears is unknown. Age factors differ according to cause. It's interesting that neck and jaw pain often...

Often without noise exposure, a sudden neck injury is cause of hearing loss/tinnitus and more so if neck problems already exist. Cervical muscle spasms from lifting or turning neck often to the left can cause C spine straightening, upper ligament damage, atlas imbalance, suboccipital nerve and...

Any medications that were possibly ototoxic? Neck, jaw problems? Head trauma? Genetic hearing loss in the family? Those are the major components.

...and I really wish things turn out better for you soon. Was there anything that could have triggered this? Acoustic trauma, medication, head trauma or something? The worst feeling is not knowing what's happening and hopefully a doctor will be able to diagnose and treat this sudden condition...

I thought that too, yet it started after a head MRI and has been growing louder since then. I suspect noise trauma. That 250 Hz is the worst. Even benzos barely allow me to function.

...to stay. How much hearing loss did the audiogram show? Was there a change in tone? Assuming that there was no medication, infections, head trauma, acoustic trauma, blood clots, TMJD, etc, my best guess is that you had much louder tinnitus to begin with but the thalamic reticular nucleus...

Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well. This is my first post, and I'm reaching out for advice about a specific tinnitus sound. I've been trying to follow the Back to Silence method (which has been helping me habituate), but this new sound is strange, and I can't ignore it. Nearly three weeks...

Hello Bill, It started in November last year just 2 weeks before my 30 birthday... What a gift... No trauma or hearing loss, and I didn't take any medication at that time... But I am a very nervous and anxious person so I think it is because of that ! Nowadays I am suicidal, besides I take...

I think he means even across the frequencies, not between the ears. My hearing loss is fairly equally bilateral too, and I have a freakin’ orchestra of different tones and hisses in my head/ears. I think what mostly matters is how quickly and/or severe the trauma on your cells/synapses are. A...

I will admit that I laughed aloud at the visual of a sound wave traveling through an entire neighborhood all from a dropped shower head. Seems almost like a tinnitus comic: no one knew my pain, so I dropped my shower head and now everyone knows my pain. Honestly, sometimes I also have to laugh...

I had this the other night on a particularly chilly evening. I breathed in through my mouth, but I could instantly feel the breeze from my mouth to my ear, which has been symptomatic from an acoustic trauma in June. I dunno, maybe that incident shook up my eustachian tube like crazy. Who knows...

...part in any research or you get any other news from Professor Rauschecker. My Tinnitus was also probably caused by a virus/cold or a head trauma, nontheless i would absolutely advice you to wear earplugs to any loud events (to at least prevent your hearing from getting any worse). Wish you...

I don’t mean to diminish your problems but I wish mine had waited until my late 40’s I’m so sorry you are struggling as well though, none of us deserve this no matter how old we are.

Could I get in if I am from New Zealand with SNHL?

We only suspect he did. Hopefully they do a good job screening.
