Low humming and vibrations are killing me with anxiety. I just can't go through this again :'(

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all ok today. I was just hoping for some advice but more importantly some understanding. I’ve tried to explain my problem to friends and family but they just don’t get it. I mean, that’s a good thing, I wouldn’t want them to have to experience this. Basically I...

No one knows this. Maybe someone has asked that question in the upcoming Q&A.

I've had tinnitus since 1996. It started as a high-pitched hissing, and the a few months later, a low-pitched hum was added to the mix. I habituated to the hissing, but the humming nearly drove me to suicide. I could feel it in my ears as well as hear it. I hear the hissing all the time, but it...

Hi everyone! My low hum tinnitus after an upper respitory virus continues. Quick background: mid December, I started waking with plugged ears, but it would always get better as the day went on. Then, it got bad right before Christmas, the urgent care dr diagnosed fluid in ears, but no...

The low humming is driving me crazy, it's constant and reverberating like someone blowing the low note of a flute in your head 24/7, I don't know how I am going to survive this.

The humming is low frequency tinnitus. I doubt it’s vascular. I have low frequency hearing loss and it sounds like a refrigerator or engine.

Hi Guys, I have had some high pitched tinnitus for years which I habituated too. Recently on the day of the birth of my first child I went to bed and woke up the next day with my head humming a very low bass noise. Like 75 HZ - 100 HZ low. My hearing has changed although still shows as ok...

hello all. I'm new here but recently started suffering from a low pitched form of tinnitus that my ENT thinks is related to eustacian tube dysfunction. It all started after I had been feeling dizzy and nauseous (as well as super stressed with work and a little sad about some unrelated things...

Left/worst ear was 99% silent for the 1st time last night. If it wasn't for this low humming in the right ear it would have been perfect...

I have low frequency, low humming, buzzing tinnitus for a week and it's very loud. I got prescribed Nootropil (Piracetam) and Betarevin (Betahistine) for circulation. The doctors told me that the protocol contains IV infusions of blood enhancers, but they would not suggest it for me, because my...

Are you taking anything or doing anything to try and mitigate the humming sound or make it more liveable? My low humming mostly stays away if I turn on low humming sound (YouTube is full of deep space sounds). It's been a while since I applied this technique (I m sleeping mostly in silence...

Yeah, I mentioned it some posts back. A quiet room in my house, particularly quiet in very low frequencies, is when it's worst for me, but it's still worse sometimes more than others under the same conditions. Mine isn't a constant volume hum or brrr, it's continuously variable like a distant...

I have also been suffering from tinnitus, which I believe is due to Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by acid reflux. Although I’ve had tinnitus for a few years now, it has gotten moderately worse since the reflux started several months ago. I caught pneumonia back in October/November last...

I tried most antidepressants and found that they slowly increased my tinnitus. My life goes on and so does my tinnitus. For me, acceptance is my only means to continue to live.

No, that's not how it works. None of us "low-hummers" are saved by earplugs. You really need to go check our low hum thread, lots of good information in it. Most of us can stop the hum by putting our fingers in our ears, this is (probably) because of the noise the finger makes against the ear...

I agree: this type of tinnitus is the worst. High-pitched ringing is not fun, but for me the low booming, rumbling, and pounding was harder to deal with. The high ringing is generally above other things in my environment that I'm trying to listen to, but the mid-range and low sounds could easily...

I sympathize with you, as this is where I've been as well for the past eight years. My reactive tinnitus and hyperacusis dictate my life. My high-frequency, multi-tonal, discordant tinnitus is a nightmare that is only getting worse the older I get. I've accepted that this is my tinnitus and am...

Wouldn't that be residual inhibition, same as when you do sound therapy?

Thanks for this. Did you get a diagnosis of tensor tympani syndrome? I've not heard of it before. Am I right in saying it eventually subsided for you? I can see why the anxiety would exacerbate it for sure. I'm trying to keep calm as much as possible for the short term. That is bizarre. I can...

In the past two weeks I have started to lose the low end of my hearing and have developed low humming and droning noises that come and go. They are not debilitating, just annoying and ominous. They have continued to to get worse as time goes on; I had a loud MRI around a month ago and a...

@Travis Henry was right when he said tinnitus has no limits. My high-frequency variable tinnitus has gotten worse in recent weeks; I suspect it is due to occasional Benzo use after the medication leaves the system. I have more bad days and fewer bad days. Time has not given me any benefit over...

Flying is a non-issue - I strongly believe. Just try to get a seat in front of the engines and keep earplugs handy if you need them. Unless it's a very old plane, it's not so loud in there. I did not fly for about 2 years after my onset (I have low-humming tinnitus, so I was especially scared...

I see you have allergies listed as a cause, and with allergies in the air in the northern Mountain West, I have to wonder if the sinus pressure contributes to the low humming sound.

It does not seem odd if you search for low frequency humming tinnitus on this forum, you'll find lots of friends.

I have 2 tinnitus noises in the same ear, a hiss that turns in to a intense buzz in a quiet room, and a low frequency hum around 100 Hz or less that can be stopped when I shake my head (as though saying "no") rapidly or if a airplane flies overhead FAR in the distance, so far it is barely even...

My tinnitus is similar, I have loud tonal tinnitus in my right ear, chronic 24/7 and on top of that I have a static "hissing" in my right ear that I can modulate with my jaw, and SCM muscles. The hissing is synchronized with my heart beat and I can stop the hissing my protruding my mandible or...

I would trade in my high pitched tinnitus for a low humming any time. In fact I already had a form of tinnitus which resembled the noise of an old refrigerator that I didn't even consider tinnitus.

...like that of a newborn baby (according to all doctors), apart from a 20 dB dip around 4000 Hz. As you know my main tinnitus monster is a low humming drone, so I probably/logically have hearing loss at a very low frequency. Since you have that fun thing too, I wonder if you agree that a...

I had high pitch tinnitus in both ears for more than 5 years, probably for a hearing trauma (playing bass at high volumes). After this much time, I was kind of used to it, and it didn't really bother me that much. I kept using hear protections on noisy places and always used headphones at low...

Hi @GoatSheep, That sounds somewhat similar. Good thing is that you are able to use residual inhibition. If I find some noise that masks the humming (dish washer is pretty good) I will be back to humming as soon as the masking sound disappears. I have understood that many people find hard to...

Low-freguency humming that comes and goes, is it a good or bad thing lol

Thanks for these thoughts. Please continue to stay strong as well. How are you managing these days? Do you avoid taking flights because of the noise and concern that it could make the humming worse?

Yes, you are absolutely right, I know that and worded it wrongly. I don't rule it out, but I don't really understand how a fixed stapes would cause low vibrating humming every year for a 2-3 week period (while it is still on/off, one day it's there, the next it's absent.). This has been going on...

Yes, I can 100% relate to this. You have been through an "acoustic trauma", due to your previous fragile ears. This has happened to me as well - pretty much feeling exactly the same way you described it in the quote. There is also a great component of stress and anxiety mixed into this, which...

Hi, I have several sounds in both ears combined - the usual Morse Code;tinkling bells, etc. But I also have an usual case with my right ear. The ear hums - getting louder if exposed to loud noise, etc, before returning to its base level. But if I stick my finger into that ear then I can no...

I've had this since 2014. What helps me is having other low humming appliances running in the background. Ex. Air purifiers, fish tanks, air humidifier and de-humidifiers (change according to season) fans, low humming air conditioners. Hope this helps. Dont give up on your studies. You are...

Sorry to hear your humming returned and you are having a hard time. I find your post quite hopeful nevertheless as you were able to find a way to reduce the humming and I believe your situation will improve this time as well. Is this new humming result of some peak of depression or anxiety...

Not even Dr. De Ridder in Ghent (Belgium) knows what this type of tinnitus is, so I wouldn't dare to speak on anything Dr. Susan Shore is working on in terms of it working or not working. We don't even know if it will work on regular tinnitus. So let's keep our vision open. That said - I'm...

I've endured a journey through hell since making the above post. Although I'm not fully healed, I can confidently say that I'm no longer plagued by suicidal thoughts or confined to my restroom. I'm gradually reintegrating myself into the world, stepping out once more. The intensity of the tones...

I have the low buzzing-humming-vibrating kind of tinnitus "just" for a week. I know it's really early on to predict anything and I'm at early stages, and maybe my threshold is pretty low, but I feel like it's debilitating. I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night. I think that I will give up...

There's an interesting thread of people (including myself) that have the exact same thing. I guess, like with all of us, the humming stops when people talk to you or when you put your finger in your ear? I know it sounds crazy right now, but trust me, you WILL be able to cope. It will take a...

Your muffled hearing came on spontaneously with no noise exposure?

Hello everyone, I'm also a fellow low humming/drone or whatever we call it these days sufferer and I've also been lurking over this forum for a while now. My symptoms are very similar to a lot of people with low frequency tinnitus as in I can somewhat modulate its intensity with jaw and neck...

That sounds like residual inhibition (google it). In my non-scientific opinion it shows your tinnitus can be suppressed with sounds. This might help with any future sound treatments in the pipeline but I'm just speculating.

@ATownsend75, are you still here? Any updates? I have the exact same: Low hum that stops when I'm spoken to or when I shake my head left to right. It stops for a second and then it picks back up. Very strange, to say the least. Not sure if this is "typical" tinnitus (if there is such a thing)...

Aaand the low humming is back. Lord help me. :cry: I can't take this again. Do you think it will be permanent? I was at the audiologist and she gave me an audiometry test and my hearing came back perfect. But the flipping low humming will be the death of me.

I’m in the U.K. I feel so flat. I’ve gone back to square one. The low-frequency humming is low but then gets louder; it’s hideous and it is intrusive. It stresses me out to a point I feel sick. I didn’t sleep last night. Lay awake nervous and the noise louder to a point my head was...

...fluid causing feeling of fullness, or Meniere's. If you don't have vertigo, then it may not be for that. However many others have posted that they have low humming tinnitus but not due to Meniere's. Blood pressure issue can cause this low humming too and some eventually develop pulsatile...

Otosclerosis is a middle ear disease (mainly - there's a "cochlear" variant too). I experienced intermittent humming.

Hi, Those of us with low humming, who has: - static hissing - forward head posture - continuously or sporadically clogged ears? My chiropractic says all my issues are related to forward head posture...

I don't know too much about residual inhibition but I didn't think it would explain tinnitus suppression over a period of days (I thought it was more temporary). A lot of people on this forum with low frequency tinnitus seem to have this feature where their humming noise can be suppressed after...

I think there’s a (newish,) bilateral low humming sensation that’s almost pressure-like

Some hum causes: Venous hum is humming sound in veins due to blood flow. The blood flows to the brain from heart and or aortic vessels via the internal carotid and arteries of vertebrae. This humming sound is produced due to the vibration of the veins - blood flow in veins. An interventional...

Hi @Sugarpuddle. I understand that your experience was different from mine in the fact that you didn't have tinnitus before, I just wanted to be clear what my experience of taking Cefalexin was. I can't definitively say it was the antibiotic but there was a quick jump in the level of tinnitus...
