I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. I'm too anxious because the low humming/rumbling in my left ear is just too loud. It's by far the most annoying of my tones.

I’ve read through all these interesting posts, and they describe my situation quite well. I’ve had tinnitus since 1995. In my right ear, I hear several high-pitched sounds, along with a central white noise. A low, humming drone began in 2014. Interestingly, the humming often stops after a long...

Hi all, I am not sure if I have tinnitus or not. It really does not seem like the low, vibrating hum I hear (only within my house) is coming from inside of me, but no one else can hear it. I have shut off the electricity at the fuse box, and the hum is still there. It is not present all the...

Hi everyone, I've been dealing with a frustrating and confusing pattern of ear and tinnitus symptoms for about 8 months now, and I'm hoping to find others who might relate or have found some answers. It all started after a series of viral infections last year — including what felt like...

Hi everyone, This is a question for all those suffering from low pitched humming. From what I'm reading online (I know, Dr. Google is not my friend!) it seems like low pitched humming tinnitus is often associated with meniere's. Honestly, I was initially terrified at the thought of the humming...

Sorry to hear about your struggles. They sound very similar to mine. I’m only eight months in, and I’m really battling some dark thoughts that keep growing stronger each day. I’m wondering, with all your experience, have you been able to live a normal and happy life despite the low-pitched...

Hello everyone, I've been reading this forum but now I created a profile hoping to find any support from others who have perhaps similar symptoms as I do. Humming started around nine months ago in my right ear. I might have also had similar symptoms before but on a smaller scale. What I hear...

This low humming sound is drving me crazy. I have it for a couple of days. A new sounds. Have a nasty cold and hope its from that. Yesterday it whas very low but today grrrr just want to scream and cry. Anybody here also have the low humming sound? And did you get used to it?

...it also occurs often throughout the day too. Really bothersome, all ENT's are unsupportive due to lack of research on tinnitus... The low humming also gives a feeling of fullness but I cant really notice any change in my hearing bcz when i am hearing other things its harder to notice my hum...

...my tinnitus due to tympanometry. 2 days ago I woke up in the middle of the night because my tinnitus had changed again. Now there's a low humming sound that "feels" kinda different than the other rather high pitched hissing noise I have. It's waaaay more intrusive and bothersome but it...

Our situations are so similar, it's almost creepy. I've also been struggling with the hum since 2014 — mine started after a long flight. It began slowly, but then got worse over time. Over the years, I've had some quieter phases, but sometimes it got so bad the hum was barely coverable. Last...

Yes, my low humming varies in intensity. At first, it was very distracting. But after reading so many stories of people habituating to tinnitus, and after experiencing habituation myself with my original dentist drill–like tinnitus in my right ear (which at first triggered nonstop daily panic...

I have high-pitched tinnitus in various tones, and recently a louder low humming - I don't know if it was always there and I just didn't notice it but it's easily maskable (humming).

Hi @billie48, You’re a ray of sunshine on this forum. Thank you for the positivity. I have a loud humming in my left ear, and I hate it so much. It turns on and off depending on which low frequencies I can hear, which I understand is common. It makes it very hard to get used to, since it’s so...

Yes, when I've had more prolonged bouts of humming and low-frequency tinnitus, it has always been related to TTTS. Once TTTS has resolved, the humming is pretty much gone.

So despite of the static like tinnitus I have, I've started to hear a low pitch hissing/humming that matches my heartbeat that overlaps the static tinnitus (so I can tell the difference of the two). It comes and goes (not continues or at least I can’t tell), is this normal? Or something I...

Did you ever get any answers? You are describing my tinnitus exactly. If I shake my head, the tinnitus disappears. If I hear a low-frequency sound, it disappears. If I plug my ear, it disappears. If I cough or hum, it disappears. I still have no answers, and I am suffering.

It is mostly gone now. A couple of years in, it started taking breaks every so often, and for almost a year it has been quiet most of the time, with only the occasional bursts when it comes back. I live in the countryside, so I know what real quiet sounds like. It is not just habituation. When...

Thank you for your kind words. At first, the new loud humming and ringing in my deaf left ear was difficult to get used to, especially since my original tinnitus was an ultra high-pitched tone in my right ear. I’m not superhuman, so I needed to mask it in order to sleep. I found that sounds...

...myself in the ear with a pillow in the middle of the night two nights ago while repositioning it. My tinnitus has increased, and I now hear a very low humming. This happened two weeks after my last incident with the same ear, when an earmuff slipped out of my hand. It has not been a stellar...

Hello. I have recently started getting what I can describe as a low humming noise in my left ear, sometimes it is loud, other times quieter, but always there. My hearing has not been as good in my left ear for a couple of years but 5 weeks ago the humming began and has not stopped. I was...

Hi everyone. I’ve had tinnitus for 6 years. At the start it was hellish but I somehow managed to cope. Eventually I got used to the noise and it fluctuated up and down. Sadly I’ve gone back to square one and my anxiety levels are tripled. I’m not coping as I’ve developed a low-pitched...

...I can't mask it with anything!! I hope it is just a spike because I have stress and I smoked yesterday like 3 cigarettes... Could it be just a spike? I have never experienced anything like this and this drives me totally crazy!!! I'm now in the car and still I hear low humming/ringing... aaargh!!

A few months ago, I remember my tinnitus had suddenly become worse - I suffer from high pitched ringing noises usually, but this was more like a low pitched humming, or buzzing. It's especially loud and volatile, its almost like the noises I listen to don't really affect it any, which sucks...

One more question, if you don’t mind. Did the hum change? You mentioned earlier that it was living, oscillating, and irregular. For me, this is the hardest part. If it were a steady tone or hum, I wouldn’t mind as much. Did yours change over time, or is it still the same?

Hi folks, I've just started noticing this low humming tinnitus I've had in both ears for the last month and a half seems to get quieter when I tilt my head back and louder when I bring it forward again. Could this be an indicator of something serious? I've had completely quiet days and other...

Hi I have been lurking on here for a while and feel like I know some of you! Basically I had mild tinnitus since June last year, then I started getting an awful humming sound a few months ago that comes and goes. Does anyone else have this as its supposed to be uncommon ?

The low-frequency humming got better every time.

Hi everyone! I am new to this, but like everyone else have been trolling for awhile. I suffer from a low humming and vibrating tinnitus, and have been doing horribly. It has been over a year and no diagnosis or hope. I have had a lot tests and they have been negative: vestibular testing...

Hi everyone. I've frequently lurked Tinnitus Talk since I've developed tinnitus about four months ago hoping to find a good success story from someone with the same symptoms that I do. Unfortunately, it seems that my type of tinnitus is rare and information about it is very restricted for both...

Can I ask for further advice, if you don't mind? I had a systemic infection that spread to my ears about four months ago, and since then I have developed tinnitus. I do have high-frequency hearing loss, but my low frequencies are fine. They did drop initially, but later fully recovered to...

How are you doing now? Hopefully a bit better... I also have the humming/fluttering in my left ear after an ear infection in April. I want it to be muscular, but suspect it is more likely a version of low-frequency related tinnitus. How are you progressing with this tone?

@Ben Winders, do you still have low frequency tinnitus? Have you habituated to the point where you can choose not to hear it? I hope you are doing well. I am new to the forum, but I found that I have a lot in common with you.

I’ve experienced exactly the same. I was on 45 mg and then tapered off, and the effects were catastrophic. I also woke up with new tinnitus in my left ear, more hearing loss, and a 60 Hz buzzing sound in that ear. It’s a horrible drug, and I wish I had never taken it.

Hi. I have a lot of different sounds in both ears, since 2016, but I more or less managed to live with them. Most of the sounds were high pitched, and I learnt to cope with them. Good and bad times but manageable. But, 2 days ago, I felt a very loud humming / drone noise on my right ear. I...

I’ve been dealing with tinnitus for four years now. It started in 2021. At the end of June 2022, it suddenly stopped. For the first few days after it stopped, I experienced a slight tinny echo in my ear, which eventually faded. I thought the tinnitus was gone for good, but on September 17th, it...

...(ETD) issues. I have also been trying to get an MRI done. Can an ENT deny a request for X-rays? The fullness in my ear has led to a low humming sound in my right ear. My baseline tinnitus is a high-pitched hissing on the right side with a small mid-frequency hum. I also experienced middle...

...onto hard packed snow and ice. Other than pulled chest muscles and getting dizzy I had no issues until last night when a fairly loud, low humming noise showed up in my head. It sounds almost like I'm standing right next to a large electric transformer. This prompted a trip to the ER where I...

Hi everyone, I just joined Tinnitus Talk. I woke up about 3 weeks ago and my left side of the face felt very full with pressure. Shortly after I started getting a very low frequency humming (like a running fridge or AC) in my left ear. The weird thing is I can actually feel the vibration in my...

I started Mirtazapine a little over a week ago. On the first day, I took 15 mg, which was way too much and significantly increased my tinnitus perception. I reduced the dose to 7.5 mg for the next three days, but the same thing happened—my perception increased, and a low-end humming sound...

It’s been a while since I posted on here. I have anxiety and panic disorder and have been experiencing low humming tinnitus off and on in my right ear for a few years. Anyway it hasn’t been bothering me for a while. However, I woke up this morning feeling tense and I was grinding my teeth in my...

Why do you think it shouldn't work for low-frequency tones?

The more I read about Dr. Shore's device, the more my intuition is telling me it won't help with low-frequency droning, humming and rumbling type sounds, like those common of endolymphatic hydrops. Hope I'm wrong!

Warning: This is long, but I really needed this to vent and share my experience. Hello, I am 20 years old. It is August 8th today, but my tinnitus started on Tuesday, July 7th. That day I woke up to a low roaring/humming in my right ear. I ignored it and continued to use my headphones all day...

@twa, how is your low, rumbling humming now, and did you try out a mouth guard?

The low pitched humming that sounds like an engine in my right ear is back, after 6 months of remission. May God forbid that tone.

There seems to be lots of threads on here about humming/low frequency buzzing that behaves differently to 'regular' tinnitus. However, there doesn't seem to be any clues as to what is actually going on. I figured it might be useful for us to collect some info so we can try and figure out what...

Hi Everyone, I have been reading posts for a while now and I have to say how impressed I am with the level of support here! After a bad cold I now have a really bad, humming low sound which is so annoying!!! Does anyone else have experience with this? I have always had the loud, hissing sound...

I've had some interesting experiences... I was diagnosed with a middle ear infection last week. The humming promptly completely disappeared, for a little over a week. Due to the infection I then had a high-pitched tinnitus, so not much better. Now that the inflammation is subsiding, the humming...

From what?

I wonder if, in any of the studies done by Dr. Shore, she also included people that have low frequency tinnitus (humming) instead of the more common high frequency hissing or eeee (which I also have). Of the two, my low frequency humming is the more annoying one, but I know low frequency...

I could live with my high frequency crickets, I would not even complain about those. It is the low humming drone sound that destroys me.

If I drop my head down until my it is upside down, I get a loud hum and my ears feel very full. Is this normal? Is this a T thing, or maybe something that people without T would experience? I have been unsure since the onset of my T if my ears are plugged or just feel that way. Thx Telis
