    Almost too scared to post because I don't want to jinx this good day...

    Yesterday and last night were hell. T was loud, humming, and ringing all day and night. Today was surprisingly good. I didn't hear much go the high pitched ring. Only a low hum much of the day. And I times it was not noticeable. I'm not sure why this is, but I tend to hear more of the hum...

    Ringing Strong for Almost 3 Weeks After Using Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones

    Hello, I'm HZO, just turned 30 and I'm from Portugal. I always had great ears. Still, to this day, I never had otitis, no ear pain, nothing, zero, nada, niente... A few months ago I bought some Bluetooth running in-ear headphones to use while jogging. Never got to use them much, and when I...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Recovery After 2 Years (Not Habituation)

    If I may ask, that low tone, when did you gain it? My T has changed a bit lately. I lost some sounds (a ring that went from left to right and a loud car hissing for example) but I gained a low tone. It's not there the entire day but it comes and goes during the day and it cycles between a...

    Wow. That's great. I think I may have something very similar. I developed what I thought was a low frequency T. Started last July. It's like a humming noise. However, I developed like a tone noise too more recently. The steroids used to knock out this humming. It would go away for like 3 three...

    Newcomer: Tinnitus from Loud Music Years Ago, Now Got a New Humming/Vibrating Sound

    HI @Phildnb You have recognised the original cause of your tinnitus was a combination of headphone use and exposure to loud music. Both are common causes of tinnitus and a lot of people in this forum have this condition resulting from headphone use and exposure to loud noise. Although you have...

    Just Wanted to Say Hi

    Anything docs can't explain is caused by stress.:) Try to follow the diagnosis flowchart. It may lead you somewhere. Did you do a hearing test? Do you have an audiogram?

    Living with Loud Tinnitus

    Well i would just say any medium pitch tinnitus (not the super high pitch 15Khz+T) that can easily be heard outdoors over traffic, I would say starts at around 25dB. 60dB tinnitus would be an extremely loud tinnitus- like you would have difficulty hearing conversation (not sure if that even...

    New 'Rumbling' Like Tinnitus

    From what I know about sound and tinnitus, and as you mentioned, one reason why you're hearing that is some kind of vascular condition you've acquired, maybe from a change in diet or something else. Otherwise, I have a theory on the low rumbling part myself; low frequency noise exposure. My...

    Flupirtine — Another Potassium Channel Opener

    Thanks for the help and info. Sounds like a lot and my tinnitus is a lot, too. It’s electrical and sizzling; static; humming; drilling. I’m hoping Flupirtine is a good solution. I’m still in the acute stage technically, so maybe it could help reverse some of it?

    ...be masked. The first few days I actually thought „ok this is considerably louder but even if it stays this way I think I can manage“. But with this low humming thing - I‘m not so sure. It’s everywhere in my head. A bit like when you’re dizzy (without the feeling of dizziness). I hope this stops

    Intermittent, Long Lasting, Low Frequency Buzzing. Tinnitus, or Muscle Spasming?

    There is another long thread of people talking about their low frequency tinnitus. It real, but not very common. If you need the link for that, if you can't find it, let me know. Unfortunately, there are no real fixes, but there are ways to cope. I did have ear surgery done a year ago...

    I Rather Not Be Here Than Hear This Loud Scary Sound :(

    Hi, @kelsey, Yes, I think a CTA would be a good idea, to see if anything can be found. I'm not sure what could be causing the low humming along with the pulsating. Did it start suddenly, or come on gradually? Have you been to a neurotologist, or only to an ENT? You might want to try going to...

    The Holmfield Hum

    I posted about this in the Tinnitus News thread yesterday, but unfortunately it got buried very quickly. Story is about a village in Yorkshire, England, where a continuous hum can be heard by (almost) all of the residents. Anyway, while this isn't directly linked to tinnitus, I wanted to...

    Middle Ear Problems?

    I'm getting on the urge of throwing myself into traffic here. I don't understand why noone is actually helping me. No MRI needed apparently from the neurologist, just a jest that my condition is "certainly unusual." I hear distortions everywhere, vomit inducing humming, and the WORST are the...

    What Was Bad Is So Much Worse!

    I am a 54 fairly fit female. I have had a high pitched hissing in both ears since 1999. At first I thought it was something in my wiring at home but well you know.

    Tinnitus Began First Week of June 2020 After Wim Hof Breathing

    ...now. It doesn’t always bother me and it depends on my position and usually just affects one ear at a time. It is funny you mention the low humming as well because I seem to have that in my right ear only. I can only hear/feel it at certain times and in certain positions. For the most part...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus Recovery After 2 Years (Not Habituation)

    I would say that the fact you are losing the "higher" pitched rings/hiss is a very good sign. Your T is fading. My lower tone also comes and goes, sometimes totally unnoticeable, and sometimes very noticeable. My lower tone has improved in the last week, I have a theory as to why. My ears have...

    Has Anyone with Low Frequency Tinnitus Tried IV Circulation Enhancers and Steroids?

    I have had very severe hyperacusis and mild tinnitus (not very bothersome so far, although sometimes spikes) and all I can say is that there is no medication that really helped more than fruit, tea, and anti oxidants. When I have a pill or a certain medication is just to stop worrying to think...

    Deep Ear Fluttering — Stapedial Tendon Myoclonus — Is Tenotomy a Solution?

    Hey, this is very interesting. Especially that video from the study. However, that example singer's stapedius only seemed to clench and release only as he was singing, but that doesn't mean there wouldn't be different forms of it. Many of us have had a similar experience with a low...

    Humming Sound in Left Ear

    I'm going to an ENT on Monday. My primary care physician says he's great. I'm not getting my hopes up, though. After 18 years of enduring this, no answers have ever come to light (except for when I thought it was related to depression). My doctor also recommended a trial of the drug Meclizine -...

    16 kHz Hearing Loss — Intratympanic Steroids or Stem Cells?
