    Acupuncture for Tinnitus

    I’m trying it next week. My previous appointment got cancelled. Mindfulness the day after. Should be one long relaxing experience. Hopefully.

    Loud Tone for a Few Seconds — Fleeting / Transient Spontaneous Tinnitus

    Often people have some sort of ringing just temporarily, out of nowhere. Hearing shifts a little, tone for about 5-10 seconds, and then it disappears. I asked some people around me if they sometimes experience this, and everybody I asked seems to. I ised to have that as well, maybe once a year...

    Vibrating Ear, Hyperacusis?

    Just now, my Eustachian Tube would not close. I could feel and hear my breathing on my ear drum and my voice was resonating inside my ear as well. All external sounds were fine though. Seems like people who suffer from this have Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET). However, it only lasted for about 5...

    Vibrating Ear, Hyperacusis?

    Hissing around 6740 Hz and a tone around 2130 Hz, although the last one is not always present. Mainly when I wear plugs (70% of the time) or when in bed (20% of the time).

    Vibrating Ear, Hyperacusis?

    Can this be caused by an acoustic trauma?

    Vibrating Ear, Hyperacusis?

    How do you deal with it? Does it get less/worse and does it hurt?

    Vibrating Ear, Hyperacusis?

    My ears vibrate (especially my left ear) when yawning deeply and when burping. Yawning and moving my jaws also make crackling sounds, but this is different. I think I’ve had this for a while, cannot remember not having it. Vibration is loud enough to not hear what someone said when they speak...

    Acupuncture for Tinnitus

    I’m doing acupuncture this Thursday. I am not assuming that it will cure my tinnitus, however I am hoping for some major destressing. Did you all do specific treatments for tinnitus, or just aimed at reducing stress? I have never done acupuncture, but friends recommended to do so as for one it...

    Cancelling Out the Tone

    I have two tones, one at approximately 2130 Hz only audible when I wear plugs and sometimes at night but not during the day, and a higher pitched one which I haven't matched to a frequency yet. When I wear ear plugs and hear the 2130 Hz tone, and play the exact same tone in the car for a short...

    Questions for the Experienced: Does Tinnitus Improve or Increase with Time?

    So, I have some questions on which I read a lot of different answers in different topics. I'm curious about your experiences. I have noise induced ringing, which brings up a lot of anxiety. I can cope, for now, but am afraid it will get worse in the future. 1. I've read that tinnitus can...

    Why Is My Tinnitus Getting Worse? Why Is Driving a Car Making It Worse?

    I also have a feeling that after driving for an hour, it is worse. Even though it is around 65-70 dB (winter tires, more noise). Could also be that during driving you don’t notice the ringing or it just has been a long day at work after driving home.

    Introduction

    Made an appointment with ENT, earliest opportunity is 20-Feb (!). Asked about prednisone as I read some stuff here on that, but it seems that is only prescribed for sudden deafness. I’m scared shitless. Seems like sounds at the office are more annoying and painful than usual as well. Slamming...

    Introduction

    I’m 29. And you are right: I don’t hear it when driving on the highway, at work only when no one is around and when I let myself. It bothers me in enpty rooms and at night. I cannot imagine what you all are going through if it is much worse than this. Because currently, it is driving me mad...

    Introduction

    How? Is the sound level very low? I guess I’ll just have to try. This all is making me so anxious. I have reapect for all of you for dealing with worse.

    Does it bother your partner if you have one?

    I will definitely try that using either the blanket or pillow.

    Introduction

    Hi, I’m Tom and have a ring in my ear since last week. I went to a concert, stood at the back of the area without ear plugs (probably the most stupid decision I have ever made) and am now being tortured at night. The sounds are high pitched and my hearing is sensitive in one ear. The ringing...
