Hello all, I’ve posted a couple of times, and I am now 3.5 months into the strange world of tinnitus following a one-off acoustic trauma. I have one main tone in my right ear, and I would describe it as fluctuating between mild and moderate. Sometimes at night, it is quiet until I need to get...

...brevity, I'll try to sum up everything as much as possible and include keywords for the search results. On March 20th, 2024, I suffered head trauma / mild TBI after an accident while riding an electric Lime scooter. I slipped and hit my forehead on the metal handlebar and hit my occipital...

So, in 2020, I developed tinnitus when I jumped into my bed, and my head landed on my pillow with a bit of force, as you would when you jumped onto a bed. My tinnitus started right after that and hasn't gone anyway since. I'm a bit puzzled about what caused my tinnitus here since the jump...

Hi everyone, I have been a long-time lurker of Tinnitus Talk, and I’ve finally decided to join. My story is a complicated one, but I’m sure many of you can relate. I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. It was so faint that I didn’t even know what it was! I remember unplugging things...

I had a terrible episode after playing with the speaker. It was next to my head, and I played frequencies upwards of 13000 Hz at around 80-90 dB for 10 minutes. I didn't think this would be bad, but the following six months completely changed me. For the first two weeks, I was on Prednisone 50...

...what you are talking about now from my own experience: I was hit by a car in March of this year while riding my bicycle, and suffered a head trauma. After a couple of days I realized that the impact left sounds in my head that fluctuated, but didn't go away. It started as a high frequency...

...of my head against a carpeted floor at quite hard impact. For the last 3 days my t has been elevated, especially in the mornings. Hoping this is a temporary elevation. Has anyone else suffered head trauma which has effected their existing t? And if so, how long did the elevation last? Thanks...

Hi Dr. Ancill, We are so happy to have you on board. I read you have a great deal of knowledge on Head Trauma related Tinnitus. I have T in both ears and it started 50 days after head trauma, but its louder in my left ear. My T is either from Head Trauma, High Intracranial Pressure and/or Ear...

I have my hyperacusis and tinnitus due to the head trauma. The T was very loud and extremely high pitch that I could not even find it in the tinnitus frequency matching apps. After months of chiropractic treatments, the pitch seemed to go down and it's a little more bearable but my hyperacusis...

I feel absolutely the worst since the trauma onset 7 or 8 months ago. Absolutely catastrophic. My head hurts so much. Especially inner ears

...CASE REPORT We report the case of a 28 year old male patient with a history of a right side pulsatile tinnitus occurred three days after head trauma. Described as "hearing heart beat in the right ear as a turbulent sound", it corresponded with an audible bruit and palpable fremitus in...

Are you on prescription medications? Have you done any hardcore drugs recently? Did you have any head trauma?

Thanks for your reply! I took a quick look through your message history, and it seems like we’ve had a similar experience—one-off trauma a few months ago! Since my last post, the tinnitus has settled a bit. It’s more of a hiss now, and the annoying electrical zaps in my head have decreased. I...

...Benzocaine, I might be able to dull the tinnitus a little, and figure out more about other treatments that might help. Obviously Methemoglobinemia is a very real concern. Has anyone had any success with blunt force head trauma induced tinnitus and using products such as Lidocaine or Benzocaine?

My acoustic trauma was caused by headphones. I used them a lot over a long period of time and at a volume that was too high without realizing it. After I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis, I suspected that my hearing was impaired. My appointment to be seen at ENT was 6 months away. Throughout...

Thanks for your responses. I’ve had a slight improvement since my last post. I decided to give alcohol a break. It has been two weeks now, and the tinnitus has quietened down to a hiss and a low tone that I can only hear in a quiet room. The electric or static sensation in my head has gone. My...

Passed out, hit the back of my head on a hard floor in the hospital of all places. CT scan was good. Doctor didn't mention anything about concussion. Pretty sure I got one though. Tinnitus and TMJ ever since the fall. I want to hear success stories for people that have had tinnitus from...

...in both ears. It has never subsided, nor changes for any reason. I've done a lot of research and discovered that Claus-F. Claussen, MD has done a great deal of journal published research into this topic. Has anyone been diagnosed with this condition to head trauma? Thank You, Jack Ciarniello

Hello Michael, How long did it take for your hearing and everything else to stabilize after the second setback? Although I know it usually takes time, I'm very anxious this time. I'm currently in week 7. Thanks.

I was assaulted by 2 guys on May 24th, 2014. I was hit all over my head, jaw and especially on both my ears with Punches only. After a few weeks I had drainage in both ears and ears felt clogged and I was coughing yellow mucus. On June 13th my doctor gave me CEFDINIR, antibiotic and it helped...

Every case is different. For one person who never improved, there’s another who completely recovered. Just check the success stories section; there are many people with gunshot trauma whose tinnitus completely disappeared. It’s not helpful to lean toward pessimism. That’s just my personal opinion.

That does sound unpleasant. I hope you can find some relief. I do not have a physical injury, but I experienced some audio trauma three or four months ago. I know there are some surgeries available, but they can be quite risky depending on the procedure. My TTTS (or possibly something else)...

Today, my right ear has decided to add to my fragile mental state by beginning to lose hearing beyond what my audiogram showed just a fortnight ago. So long, hyperacusis, I guess. It feels much like the moderate hearing loss I experienced before my tinnitus began, which I had assumed was just a...

Hi, I am a psychiatrist with chronic tinnitus for at least seven years, possibly longer. I have no known ear trauma or exposure to ototoxic substances and no hearing loss. I believe the cause may have been either daily aspirin use or sleep deprivation from working very long hours in hospitals...

Backstory: I have had tinnitus for around 5 years now. I was more or less habituated with a couple of bumps here and there until a little over 3 weeks ago. I had a lot of trauma all at once, I suppose. I got an MRI for issues with my shoulder (I wore double hearing protection), I went to this...

Possibly something in your neck?

Unfortunately, I don't live in a country where I can get to those services without a referral, so I'm left with my family doctor. However, she is more open to things lately but still is cautious, which I can appreciate. I'm hoping the NAC hasn't caused damage, as I've read other people...

There are many ways people develop tinnitus: head injuries, medications, infections, acoustic trauma, etc. Among these, acoustic trauma is probably the most common cause, but it also offers the best chances for recovery. If I could share any advice from my experience with acoustic...

I don’t think that’s true; it depends on the case. I had mild tinnitus before an acoustic trauma gave me severe, louder-than-everything, constant tinnitus. I think it’s great that some people can habituate and move on, but I don’t think I can ever habituate to mine at the level it is now. Could...

Hello, Since my ear surgery and my acoustic trauma, i hear my voice in my head, with my bad ear (the ear with the tinnitus), I don't feel the air when I close my auditory canal with my finger (this symptom has decreased, but since June, I have a setback with bronchitis). What can cause these...

Thank you so much for sharing. The neurologist I saw last week told me that the auditory nerve could take four to six months to heal. My injury happened during an MRI due to improper ear protection. The doctor said it was an acute trauma, a one-time event, and that it should completely resolve...

Hello all, good morning. I first registered here over a year ago. My tinnitus is the result of being struck by an SUV as a pedestrian the night of Valentine's Day 2019. The driver fled the scene but was caught, he is still in jail. He left me laying there close to a busy intersection with a...

Personally, I didn’t take any medication—just a lot of struggle and prayer through it all. I am much better now, still not 100%, but I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. Keep your head up; I assure you, it gets better.

I have corresponded with people who have tried HBOT to help with their tinnitus. Unfortunately, most have said their tinnitus has become louder and more intrusive. We are all different, so it might not affect you similarly, but I wouldn't try it. The choice is yours. If your ear fullness is...

Hi all, so I've been struggling with my tinnitus I acquired 3.5 months ago from acoustic trauma. Well this morning I woke up feeling super nauseous, ended up vomiting a little then went back to bed. I suspected my blood pressure and I did take it and it was low. Anyway, I was feeling better...

...with phantom perceptions based on other or unknown etiologic factors. This is especially the case for patients with whiplash and head trauma. Patients with posttraumatic noise-related tinnitus experience more frequently hyperacousis, were younger, had longer tinnitus duration, and were...

That's supposed to be an ironic title, of course. But people who have suffered an acute acoustic trauma know, at least: This trauma destroyed my auditory cells. People for whom the cause is not so clear are in the dark. Notice all kinds of somatic phenomena, observe their jaw (TMJ?), notice...

Dear Dr. Nagler- Thanks for your help on this one. Question on head trauma induced T. Recent hearing test with 0-10 DB measured hearing loss between 0-8000 htz. slight difference in hearing loss in right ear measured at -10 at 8000. mid 30's male. i hit right side of my head during a bad...

Since tinnitus is the result of hyperactivity in the auditory cortex, I have long sought treatment that greatly antagonizes neurons (such as cleaving synapses off or tearing the mylein sheath apart) to hurt the previous neural connection that brain so desperately wants so that glowing auditory...

As I previously mentioned to you, @matt89, when I first got tinnitus and hyperacusis many years ago, I also experienced ear fullness and, to some extent, muffled hearing that you speak of. My Herbalist said it was caused by noise trauma and advised that I start taking Magnesium and Ginkgo...

...expert opinion how a head injury causes Tinnitus? Whether it be head injury, chin injury, minor or mild concussion i'm curious for the underlying reasons? Also from your experience is noise induced tinnitus different from head trauma induced? Thanks for your expert feedback, insight and...

...experiencing more tinnitus after loud noise exposure, but it eventually got better. I also have tinnitus, ear fullness, and ear pain from head trauma, which I've gotten used to. Recently, about two months ago, I forgot to use earplugs because I drank a little too much. I'm very disappointed...

Hello, My name is Boris and I have had tinnitus since 2019. I had a stupid drunk accident and I hit my head really hard. Thank God, everything with me is absolutely OK. However, since then I have had tinnitus in my right ear. At first I was freaking out. The idea of this “partying 24/7 in my...

I have read all your stories here on Tinnitus Talk over the past 2 months and decided it’s time to tell mine. I have encountered such compassion and understanding here, along with wonderful resources, advice, and personal experiences that people have shared over the years. I guess I’m in need of...

While cleaning snow off my chicken cage roof/coup my ladder slipped and fell straight down. The ring came immediately after I came to. I immediately popped my nose in place and latter that day pulled my jaw back. I couldn't afford to go to the doctor, my insurance doesn't cover it and won't...

UPDATE: I went for two hearing tests this week - to check how my hearing is doing eight months after the noise trauma. To my surprise, both tests came back OK, with no hearing loss, which is positive. That said, my ears are really painful today. I thought I was making headway on the slow road...

I was recently diagnosed with Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence, and I am interested in connecting with tinnitus patients whose cause is identified to be Meniere's, Lyme, diabetes, TMJ disorder, ototoxic medications (like chemotherapy), anxiety, inner ear disorders, and head injuries. If...

I cannot determine if my tinnitus is coming from my ears, as it feels more central, almost behind my head. It's easily masked by low-volume cicada-like sounds. My tinnitus started in 2020 without any clear reason (though I suspect it could be related to neck problems—I have a protrusion and...

Yet... I'd consider the possibility that the sensitivity and anxiety are happening because your body is giving you a sign about the danger that you are in. I think you'll get a lot of responses here. It seems once tinnitus has started, the ears are sensitive to further trauma, and tinnitus can...

Thanks @Michael Leigh. Time (I'm speaking of months, not days) seems to be the most crucial factor for ears to heal. This is what causes the most struggle, and it's why people like me feel trapped in a rabbit hole, unable to see any light at the end of the tunnel. For example, if you've...

For a second or two when I yawn or shake my head my tinnitus gets worse? Why does that happen? Does anyone else have that happen? I have low frequency hearing loss and constant tinnitus from an acoustic trauma.

Hello. My name is Marco, I'm 28 years old, and I have a bilateral tinnitus since May 2014, after a rock concert. Initially my tinnitus was very loud, but over time has decreased, until recently has returned to the original levels. I was visited by several ENT specialists, but no one has ever...

Tl;dr: last night my weird electrical tinnitus gave me an electric shock all down my head and neck. Looking for some advice on how to proceed. About 6 or 7 weeks ago I developed a hissing sort of sensation in my head that moved to my right ear overnight suddenly a couple of weeks ago. Ever...

...process in which I’ve been treating my ETD for the past three months; the ringing in my ears appears to come from multiple reasons (I had head trauma in March), and I’m under the care of a general ENT and a Neurotologist. I found Fluticasone more effective than Mometasone, but your mileage...

There's nothing personal in my post. I've seen you agree with and relate very often to @Travis Henry. Tinnitus Talk is a forum and is being used as such.

Hi all, I wanted to share my tinnitus history and see if anyone has experienced anything similar, or has advice on what kind of specialists might help. I've been dealing with tinnitus for a while now. Despite extensive testing, I still haven't found a clear explanation, but I strongly suspect a...

Hi, we had a slight car incident, backing into a car this afternoon. Of course, the force of hitting the car has increased my tinnitus. Is this usually temporary? Thanks...
