    Reactive/Unmaskable Tinnitus — Positivity Needed

    My high-pitched hissing is not reactive; it's consistent but ironically it doesn't bother me. I habituated to it 25 years ago. On the other hand, the low-pitched hum I also have IS reactive. Even something as simple as talking on the phone will set it off. Listening to music and even brushing...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    Thanks for taking the time to write such a clear response. I did not experience any side effects from Deanxit.

    Challenging the Current Terminology of Hyperacusis

    This happens in particular with low frequencies specifically? I wonder if extra stimulation is happening at the "formants" of the low frequency sounds. Is it both ears? Do the low frequency sounds sound otherwise normal?

    Is This Low-Pitched, Like a Slow Fan/Low Rumble, Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    Hi @HootOwl , thanks for your response on the low frequency humming post. My doctor said that I need to stop ginko as it may be having an affect on kidneys. Not sure if that's true but I'm gonna listen. I found that if I put my ear plugs in the humming goes away. I also did a kettlebell home...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Inconsistent Tinnitus Volume and Tone Makes It Hard to Habituate

    No offense but low pitched tinnitus is a different beast than the more common high pitched 'eee' (I have both). There is a chance it will not settle down, like Michael Leigh above says.

    What Caused My New Low-Pitched Vibrating Hum? Should I See an ENT and Try Steroids?

    @Ben Winders, it’s OK. I know this is a possibility. When this happened to you, was it caused by any loud sound or new damage? Did it just happen randomly?
