This is the thread that changed my life - I was getting to my limit of psychological strength, I couldn't understand why my T was different from everybody else and then I read this thread, googled TTTS and all my symptoms were there right in front of me. I confess I cried of emotion. Seven...

@Luisa Are you better? I don't know if you got my email.

I don't know what to do more - it was bad enough to have my tinnitus sounds, usually 4 or 5 different ones at the same time, between ringing and car engine, but at least I could mask them with music, TV or going to the balcony. For 6 days now that it is stronger and impossible to mask. Today is...

@Ricky81 I was most amazed when I read your T started because of ear drops Ciprodex - mine started exactly for the very same reason, but here in Holland Ciprodex is called Sofradex! All the doctors told me that it was impossible but then I have read a report from the American Tinnitus Society...

@Colby I think I have something similar since last week, it's my sixth permanent sound - is it like a mosquito flying around you, or a cicada? It started at the beach, with the interference of the boats' noise when I was in the water - I still had it for a couple of days after coming home but...

@Telis I'm very interested about you are saying about the hair cells dying - my T (both ringing and motor) is also ototoxic and I thought the hair cells were damaged forever but never heard before they were dying - are you sure it's like that?

@Vegas Robb I think of that everyday! If it changes, it means one day it can simply vanish, right? I live with that hope! Mine is ototoxic too (thanks to @ampumpkin for explaining me the correct name) but I have both variations, high pitch (ringing/whistle) and low frequency (car motor / engine...

@Luisa My truck / car engine noise got much worse after going to the dentist for a cleaning - this was on the 1st of June and never got better again, except for one single day (no idea why - I almost wish I hadn't had that silent day - the disappointment when everything came back was huge)...

Thank you @ampumpkin for tagging me! Yes, Luisa, I have exactly what you have: loud pitch in left ear, loud vibrating engine in the right ear. A total of 6 different sounds but the worst is, no doubt about it, the vibrating engine. Sometimes my engine is very strong, and I call it the truck...

Hello, I have just heard from a friend that she is being seen by a chiro and feels that her T went down a lot. I have also been suggested acupuncture, head massage and gingko tea or pills. I have always considered alternative medicine as a scam, but my drone and my ringing are worse than...

Thank you all for your fantastic answers, is is great to know Tinnitus is not the possible beginning of my brain failing. My grandfather (my mother's father), my mother ad my 2 aunts (her sisters) all died with Alzheimer or something very similar - I'm not sure if my grandfather had another type...

My problem is not if it gets louder... my problem is how to get in the mood with a drone and a whistle in your head! That's my biggest problem!

Thank you very much - I will come back a lot of times to read your words and be strong!

@LadyDi Thank you for your answer - and thank you for giving me your opinion about Alzheimer - Tinnitus possible connection. I am very relieved to read your explanation! I can't avoid thinking about it because it also involves the mind (or, to be more precise, the head!) - I have seen my mother...

@ampumpkin you are beautiful and your kids are so sweet, lucky girl! How did you got your T? You look very young! I am also doing it now: trying to live a happy live and avoid obsessing about this - but of course for several months I was so revolted again those ear drops and that doctor! Now I...

@Teri thank you for your advice - my ENT was absolutely convinced I had Meniere - I had all the signs, except for the big vertigo attacks - I just had vertigo when changing position from vertical to horizontal and vice versa and only for a few seconds - they still come back once in a while. My...

Hello dear friends, I have been thinking a lot about things that all of us, with high frequency tinnitus or low frequency tinnitus, with vertigo or not, men or women, younger or older, from so many different countries could have in common - it would be interesting to find a pattern. I will write...

@gary Hi Gary, thank you for being always so positive, it really calms me down! My low frequency T (the roaring) is back to normal now, thank God! Annoying , but not extremely loud. However, I have now a new sound in my left ear (the ear of the high frequency T): it is like a cicada/cricket...

Hi Gary, thank you for your suggestion and for your care. I'm sorry about your roaring noise and I' m glad you are feeling better now. I'm on holidays and for some days my roaring noise was much better but yesterday I did something stupid - I went to a disco party at the hotel garden - and...

@valeri I think the fact that you are sick even if you don't feel congested is enough to make you feel the T stronger - try not to worry too much, I hope you start feeling better really soon. Big hug. P.S. - I take sometimes paracetamol for headaches and have never noticed any effect in my sounds.

@valeri Keep calm and rest a lot - for now, that's all you can do. Flu must make it worse, as all your head is blocked. Have hope.

I'm still trying to find more people with low frequency tinnitus (rumbling, roaring, drone, vibration, engine sounds) as I think we are a minority here. If you have it, please join the discussion at "Low frequency tinnitus" thread.

Update: I have asked my ENT if it is okay to pop the ears by manipulating the jaws - he said no problem!

Update: no problem with flying - my five noises (ringing and fridge engine in the left ear and vibration, rumbling and car engine in the right ear) are exactly the same before and after the flight! No problems also during the flight - no need for ear plugs or nose drops. Next saturday, my...

I have both high frequency and low frequency tinnitus.I explain it to the others like this: in my left ear I have a very loud whistle and ringing that never stops; in my right ear I have a car engine that it particularly annoying when I'm in bed , sometimes it is so strong it's like a truck...

@LadyDi thank you, wonderful advice! I'm flying on Tuesday.

@russiancarl Thank you! I'm going on Tuesday. Pretty nervous! I will let all know how it went.

@russiancarl I pop mine by manipulating my jaw - no effort at all. I don't need to force them so I hope it's okay.

@gary Hi Gary, Thank you so, so, so much for caring! You always have the right words! It was not the truck engine noise but I couldn't mask my usual vibration / car engine / rumbling / roaring at all - usually I am able to disguise it with sounds around me. Today I am better, back to the "no...

@Ike , exactly, Ike, I also never know if I should be doing it - but it helps the feeling of "something inside the ear".

@RicoS thank you, that's it, it is to control if the ear is clogged or not. The weather doesn't affect both my high pitch and low pitch tinnitus, or maybe I have never paid attention to it before. It's raining like crazy now!

@citigirl13 thank you so much!

@valeri Thank you! I am very nervous as even before having the first signs of tinnitus or any other problems in my ears, I always had lots of pain with the pressure.

Hello, I have high frequency tinnitus in my left ear and low frequency tinnitus in my right ear - I am flying next week for the first time since I have low frequency tinnitus - I have done it with high pitch tinnitus but not so strong as it is now. I am worried of flying with the low frequency...

Hello, I have high frequency tinnitus in my left ear and low frequency tinnitus in my right ear - because of my low frequency tinnitus and the feeling of ear clogged, I have gained the habit of forcing my ears to pop all the time. Sometimes I think I shouldn't do this, maybe it affects the ears...

@gary Having a bad day today, can't mask vibration, even with music or going outside. Will try to remain positive! Thank you for your help!

@gary thank you for your advice, you are right! The most difficult is not having answers: why did it stop last Sunday? Why did it start again on Monday? It drives me crazy.

Thank you, Gary! It really worries me the fact that the truck engine noise can come back, especially because I will be observed again by a doctor next week. About my current vibration / car engine, it makes me feel tired and worried. I just wish this would end.

Hi, I have just joined this forum and I am now trying to find someone that has also the low frequency tinnitus. I have the high frequency tinnitus in my left ear (whistle / ringing) quite loud and I have the low frequency tinnitus in my right ear (car engine and glass vibration). From what I...

Hello, I have tinnitus since last March – I had a pain in my ear that would come and go and then started having vertigo every time I would stand up from bed or lay down. I went to the doctor, he was not there, I was seen by his trainee (not a good idea!) that decided to give me ear drops. It...
