@Bessie Sorry to hear about your PT. please don't let the doctor dismiss you so easily. There are tests they need to perform to check why this is there if just started up for no reason. Go to whooshers.com too for more information and I hope it just goes away!

@John Meyers why do you say it's good? Just wondering?

First of all let me tell you that it will get better!! We all know what you're going through because we've been there! My T was also loud and high in frequency, and I also have hyperacusis. When I first got it my anxiety went through the roof!! Both my T and H have diminished with time as most...

Hello! Just wanted to put my story in here. I too suffer with this nasty hum and ear fullness along with sound sensitivity (toilets flushing, water running, paper rustling to name a few) AND very high-pitch tinnitus. I had an episode last year that went away and then in March of this year it...

@Gin please let us know how you're doing. I have the exact same symptoms you do!! Would love to hear! Thanks!

Thank you for answering. I have a prescription for Zoloft but haven't started it yet because I'm scared it'll make my T worse, but my anxiety is out of control....ugh

What kind of pills?

@glennr Ive had same thing happen to me. Went from mild T to really high pitch T in both ears with ear fullness and /fluttering sensation. Feels like I need to pop my ears but when I do there's very little, if any, relief. I'm currently trying Physical therapy and chiro. I just started this week...

So what was his solution? Did you get a splint?

@Martin69 I was wondering if you started your SSRI and which one you decided to go with? I'm currently contemplating on whether I should go with Lexapro or Zoloft and wanted to know how you're doing. Thanks!!

@Joshawaarnold you may want to get your jaw checked out for TMJ. It could be causing your T. It's worth a shot!

Mine are in the afternoon most days from putting up with the high pitch jet engine that is my T

@Path Maker thank you for being so eloquent about it! You expressed my thoughts completely!!

Just because they're older, doesn't mean it's any easier to deal with. I do feel bad for people who get this in their younger years, but I'm also tired of reading posts that kind of express that if you're older it's somehow not as devastating since, basically, we don't have much more time to live

I have headaches most days and I'm pretty sure it's due to the high pitch of my T.

@Flyka70 I've always wondered if my T and H had anything to do with vaping. I quit smoking about 2 years ago and started vaping. I never had anything serious going on with my ears other tan very mild T before that. I can tell you, I quit vaping a couple months ago and have not noticed a...

@truesilence have you tried physical therapy? I had very tense muscles throughout my upper back and neck and it helped me a lot.

@lymebite Thanks so much!! I had heard of Dr Silverstein and im looking forward to the results coming next week. Not sure how we'll hear about it but I'll keep searching until I find it. I really hope to be able to get in to see him if this doesn't improve.

Thank you all for replying. I just returned from a trip to Seattle and I've been pretty good for these last few days. I still have very high pitched T but I can deal with that. The H seems to have calmed down considerably although it's happened before so I hate to get my hopes up. It's strange...

@Telis What are bone conducting headphones? First time I've heard of it.

@Lorac I have very mild hearing loss at some level, nothing that warranted the ENT to even mention it (the audiologist told me). How long have you had it and what do you do for it? Thanks for the reply.

Hello all! Wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone can give me any pointers on this strange affliction. I'm 51 and I had this once before about a year ago. I believe it stemmed from either a. A fall I had that hurt my neck or b. A bad yoga move that hurt my neck. I went to ENT and...

@Brandon joseph I've been there! Don't let the anxiety get the best of you. You will overcome this! You may need some medications to help you through it just at the start, then you can slowly come off them as you get used to it or the symptoms abate. Sleep is very important and stress makes it...

Thanks for sharing! I promise that when I get better, I'll come back and do the same!!

Absolutely! I remember my mom had terrible headaches when she had to give up caffeine because of a heart condition. You may want to try having some to see if it helps with the headaches without affecting the T. I don't drink caffeine so can't blame it on that.

@Gin Keep me updated! I'm going to get the lipoflavonod today! @Andunwoody reminded me that someone told me to use Vicks vapor rub on my forehead for headache relief. I never did, but I'm going to try it as well. My T is really loud today so hoping for some relief. Question: does anyone have...

@Gin Sure sounds like we have a lot of similar symptoms. I also have the loud humming that is not bad outside but in my house it's horrible! Headaches every day (which I was taking Aleve for but stopped once I learned that it makes the T worse), neck pain and very loud T especially in the...

I have the same symptoms (flutter or spasm) but not sure what makes it happen (maybe certain frequencies?). Happens a lot with my husband's voice I have T, H, pressure/fullness, no balance issues.

@jeannie I've also wondered the same thing. Why do so many of us get this and others don't? I went to a lot of concerts and listened to loud music all my life, but so did all my friends and not one of them have this, just lucky me

I agree with @citigirl13, use noise cancelling headphones, they really help with the noise. And, hopefully, the symptoms will resolve by themselves or get better, it happens! Most importantly, stay calm and try not to focus on it too much. I know it's easier said than done, but stress will make...

@Carlos I believe in the power of prayer! I pray daily for us all. Thank you for the videos!

@Artmuzz I feel like I'm clenching my jaw and neck muscles all the time so I make a conciense effort to relax them both. Unfortunately you can't do that when you're sleeping and I wake up feeling like my Jake is clamped shut. I also have anxiety and panic attacks. I tried physical therapy about...

@Peter D. Yes, we will!! I've read a lot about people using natural sleep aides (melatonin) to help with that, you should try it! I get the buzzing as well, cicadas is a good way to describe it. Again, habituation will kick in, you'll see! Worst thing is letting the anxiety take over. Take care...

Hi @Peter D. Sorry to hear this! You have no idea why it came on suddenly? What kind of T do you have (ringing, humming, buzzing)? I've had mine (ringing and clicking) for many years but it's always been mild. I hurt my neck in a fall about a year ago and since then it's been moderate along with...

I have moderate T that spikes with H onset. My H comes and goes. Along with H onset, I have like an electrical hum that I consider my worst symptom. Ear fullness with mild pain in right ear only. Headaches that seem to stem from my neck. Noises like fans, the AC, toilet flush, shower airplanes...

@jeanoroid Hi! Yes, I too notice a difference with the weather. I live in TX and we've had a lot of storms lately. I notice an increase in my ear pressure and H when the storms come through.

@Tommi_boi Thanks, I really need to remember this. I can't even blame work since I retired last year so, that's no longer a stressor in my life (I know, I'm very lucky).

@glynis Thank you for your post. I have little doubt my neck has a lot o do with my symptoms. I have a constant headache and a lot of cracking/popping going on in my neck. What really gets me is that a neurotologist can say that my neck has nothing to do with my T!! As soon as that came it if...

@Laurac1960 I use noise cancelling headphones for my H which sounds a lot like yours. I can't have anything vibrating (Ac, fans, refrigerator, my husband's voice which is gravelly). It's seriously devastating! Does yours come and go? Mine does so when you do get a break, you live in constant...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to share my story. I've had T for many years but It has always been mild. Then last year I hurt my neck during a fall and my T spiked and with it came the Hyperacusis. I went to ENT and neurologist with all my tests coming back normal. Then I started...

@Sara_Bond I'm glad you are with family, that always makes everything better! I've been living away from mine for almost a year now and will return in June. I can't wait! To answer your question, yes, my T has always been mild. Then last year I hurt my neck during a fall and my T spiked and...

@Sara_Bond hoping you're doing better. I've been improving these last couple days so feeling pretty hopeful but not wanting to get too excited.

Hi @Sara_Bond Well, I thought the weather did but today is sunny and beautiful out and my T and H are just horrible! I had a good day yesterday and thought maybe I had turned a corner but, nope! I'm also thinking about AD!!! I don't know how to cope with this.

@Zimichael hi! Just wondering if you ever got the surgery? Just wanted an update from you, if possible. Thanks!

@Artmuzz hi! I just read your post and I have the same exact symptoms. Started about a month ago. Have you found anything that helps? It's really driving me insane. Thanks!

Bob63, You have no idea how thankful I am to read your post. I have had T for years but it's always been something I had no problem coping with. A few weeks ago it got a lot worse and I started having symptoms that I know (now) is H! It took me awhile to find this forum but I'm so glad I did...

I've heard of "musician's ear plugs." Is that what you have? Also, I use noise cancelling headphones and it helps with the H in loud situations. Not a musician though but love music!

I, for one, will be waiting to hear the results in the May update. I'm very excited about this!
