    Erratic, Low, Multi-Bass Tones 24/7, Unilateral, Ear Pressure?

    ...is going by the ear? I have had regular tinnitus tones on and off for years, but they were never 24/7 without a break and they were never low humming bass tones. If someone has a story similar and has any advice on dealing with the fast irregular, deep scary tones, please let me know and thanks.

    What Do You Hear? Can You Describe Your Tinnitus?

    Why Is Hope Important in Dealing With Tinnitus?

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Influential eighteenth century political philosopher. From "Confessions" (1780) "...a great noise started up in my ears, a noise that was triple or rather quadruple, compounded of a low and muffled humming, a softer murmuring as though of running water, a piercing...

    After 6 Years of Coping with Tinnitus, I Developed a Low-Pitched Humming — Caused by Stress?

    Thanks for your responses - really appreciate it. I was at breaking point last night and eventually fell asleep exhausted with it. The house move wasn’t that bad. I moved 8 months ago to a lovely little house and I have been enjoying doing up the garden. I have been fairly relaxed and not...

    Alternating Low-Frequency Tones in My Left Ear — Is This Tinnitus?

    Gfturner, I have the same thing! I have what started as a low humming that changes to a sound like a lawnmower and then sometimes like multiple car alarms or someone playing random notes on an organ. I haven't read nearly anything about tones like these, it seems like most people have a steady...

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

    Yea I think so too. I just don't remember how high pitched it was in the beginning. At times it's hissing/humming sound then at times it'll be a low ring.. and lately idk y but I get these small headaches .. but I think it has something to do with my neck maybe I'm just thinking too much into it

    New Here, Tinnitus from Medications? Finding the Experience of My Whole Body Vibrating Disturbing

    Can hearing aids help with this kind of low frequency tinnitus? @Haylee So sorry you are not feeling well. What antidepressant are you taking now? Do you hear the humming everywhere? If you can mask it with the sound of your refrigerator that's good. Then by placing other devices/machines like...

    Tinnitus Spike After Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Jab

    Almost exactly the same for me. I had resisted taking the vaccine for a long time. Then vaccine passports became a thing and I took the plunge. My tinnitus had become so low in the past few years that I didn’t even research tinnitus as a side effect. I was more worried about myocarditis...

    CPAP Machine Making Tinnitus Worse?

    ...I've always had tinnitus. No known cause. It seems to run in my family. It has never really bothered me much, it's always been pretty low humming. However, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and they gave me a CPAP machine. I started using it and within a week my tinnitus got incredibly loud...

    Humming Sound in Left Ear

    @MariaH you just described what I had two weeks ago! Low humming, strong feeling in the whole head, I think I got it from medication. I had it for a 1.5 week, but it went away! I hope yours goes away too. I know how it is, the sound was so different, so low, like some one drilling on the other...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Your symptoms and experiences are almost identical to mine. (I go into more detail in my post above). I just got home from work, and I can barely hear the humming. But as the night progresses, it will get louder and louder with or without noise exposure. Last night it wasn't that loud when I...

    Solsaem Clinic (Dr. Minbo Shim) Experience

    That's great to hear. May I ask what is your age, or age range? Are you in your 20's, 30's, 40's? I ask because according to the doctor, age is a contributing factor for success and it will be helpful data when you share you final results in few months.

    Does Masking Tinnitus Make It Worse?

    I've had a gas heater on lately with the cold weather here and it seems to help mask my tinnitus pretty good. It has a low humming sound, do you think this could possibly make T worse? I've had a spike recently and I just wanna make sure it isn't from this, I doubt it is but you never know. But...

    Worried About Rumbling Sound

    I Feel My Tinnitus Often Aligns with My Heartbeat — Possibly Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    I’m not so sure it’s pulsatile tinnitus truly. Maybe @Greg Sacramento can help us determine that further. So when an airplane flies over my house or some other low frequency sound, or even the refrigerator, it completely seems to suppress the “tinnitus noises” — it doesn’t seem to be masking...

    Psychologists

    Yeah, our T may be minor, it's hard to tell because it's a subjective ailment, but it's still scary because we aren't as acclimatized to it like most people on this site who have been living with T for decades. Right now, my T is a calm humming with a high-pitched but quiet undercurrent.

    Tinnitus Spike After Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Jab

    I turn 60 this year, myself. I have three weddings to attend (including my own) and all I can think about is tinnitus. I had two Pfizer jabs in February and March with no issues. I had a Moderna booster in November, the same time I was testing Paxil for my panic disorder. Three days after the...

    New 'Rumbling' Like Tinnitus

    Recently I've noticed that I have a 'new' type of tinnitus. It is an extremely low pitched sound. Volume is pretty low but audible at night. It sounds like there is a machine or helicopter making noise, but very far away. At the same time, I'm sure it comes from within my head. Really in the...

    Electrical Head Buzzing Tinnitus — What Has Helped YOU?

    I am so sorry to hear that your head noise has returned. I am experiencing a relapse since October last year, with what I think may be more intrusive head noise (like a far away gas leak/hissing). At times, it sounds electrical and it really bothers me a lot. It followed a year of a LOT of...

    Poll: Which Is Worse — High-Pitched Tones or Low Humming Tones

    I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering. I hope it improves for you soon. I have a hum in my left ear that vibrates pretty bad at times. Sometimes it’s mild. It’s maskable by a lot of sounds. I’m okay with it because it’s just annoying—not really painful. My high frequency tinnitus is ugly, though...

I'm not sure if a low humming sound would be easier to stand than a high sound. Of course a low sound might be more easily masked by other sounds. That said I feel people can feel...

    Low-Pitched Humming = Meniere's?

    Low Hum During Cold

    I've had a very loud humming sound in my head, off and on, for over 20 years. Has nothing to do with colds as I rarely get sick. (See my other posts about this in detail). Hopefully, your hum will go back to normal when your cold is over. Please keep us posted.

    Hyperacusis Gone!

And it is those high frequencies that are causing my tinnitus to react. I suspect if you could EQ out the...

    My Tinnitus Has Changed ...

    Well I have to disagree here. Even though I haven't been tested I can say that my T is really low in the morning if I've gotten a good sleep. Humming of my fridge can cover my T in the good mornings. I can't hear it even if I try. But when I come out from work I can hear my T easily over the...

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    In Need of Help/Advice in Relation to Low-Frequency Tinnitus

    Very sorry to hear that @OnceUponaTime. If you wobble your head side to side does it stop for a split second? Clonazepam helped to relax the middle ear muscles which in turn made the sound go away for a while. But more and more it just shuts up for even days at a time and then comes back.
