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...

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 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

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...

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...

So I have tinnitus, hyperacusis and I have also developed phonophobia. Short story for context: I got tinnitus in 2013, probably due to noise trauma. I habituated eventually and was fine for many years until this summer when I was exposed to an acoustic shock at work. This gave me a new...

Hey Thomas, I meant to comment earlier on your initial post. There are a couple parallels with what you're going through and what I've been going through. One, I have had low level tinnitus for years in both ears, nothing that bothered me much. In my case, I think it was due to having gradual...

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...

Well, @DeanD, my tinnitus had slowly been climbing between the ages of 13 and 19. Then 2009 saw me develop an ear infection off the back of a concert I attended. To this day I'm still uncertain of which event to credit more or less for my life as it is now. But it would seem my lifestyle was...

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

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...

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...

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...

...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...

No one, even scientists, knows the exact mechanism of noxacusis (pain hyperacusis). The Type II neurons theory is, after all, just a theory and needs further investigation. We don't know if Dr. Shore's device helps pain hyperacusis but let's hope calming DCN also regulates Type II neurons firing.

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...

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...

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...

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.

@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...

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.

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...

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...

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/

...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.

@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...

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...

@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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

@Tom_Tom, may I ask where are you at now with your buzzing? I have a very similar type buzzing but not all body shocks. Have you improved at all? Mine seems to be related to dehydration/dry mouth, but I am not sure.

...build-up feeling pressured, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure, acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as flights, slapping of the...

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...

I think this is me too

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

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

Interesting. My H started/escalated not long after I had hit my head really hard in a shelf. I don't think I had a concussion but it was a hard blow.

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...

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...

@Major Tinnitus There are many thing that can cause tinnitus such as billie48 pointed listed. The problems could be head trauma, but I would consider x-rays of neck and spine. Muscle spasm form anyplace can cause your problems. Numbness in hands, wrists and arms are often related to your spine...

@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...

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 have the reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis. My tinnitus has started due to the head and neck trauma. It's so reactive to the point that even the softest pink noise spikes my tinnitus. I have tried to listen to the pink noise for my hyperacusis. But after 30 minutes of pink noise, I feel...

Melatonin for sleeping? Also, keep in mind: As my ENT says "Prognosen är god". One month after my latest noise trauma I could not do anything. I could not use the water faucet unless I had double protection, I could not be in by home since if my neighbour opened her warddrobe or something I...

@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...

@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...

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"...

That's exactly me .... Just.some slight hearing loss at 4k MHz and I don't believe my T its from hearing loss ....hope you are doing better ...

Haha, thanks @DeanD :) Yes, it can. It can even help tinnitus from other causes - like neck tension, TMJ, or other issues. I treat myself with Acupuncture and notice improvement in my symptoms. I had an acoustic trauma and have hyperacusis. I have had improvement with symptoms of pain, plugged...

Just a follow up question. Did you have an acoustic trauma or took any ototoxic medications shortly before these tests? Or has it been like this for a while?

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...
