OK, thanks. Bloody hydrops is a new thing to me. Will try to look into it. I didn't really find any direct correlation between good or drink and a hum volume increase. Maybe coffee, but not sure. I did try to drink a lot of water and eat healthy. The hum did vary a little in intensity from time...

Hello everyone, I'm a male late 30s and I live in Denmark. I've been having serious problems with what I perceive as tinnitus and hyperacusis since January 2019. I've been sensitive somewhat to sound for 4 years, following a concussion. I've slept with ear plugs since then, since even the...

Hi Michael. Like you, I also contracted tinnitus in April 1996. It was the 28th at 1:09 am. I was watching TV when I suddenly began hearing a high-pitched hissing. I though it was coming from the TV, so I muted the volume. It was then I realized the noise was coming from inside my head. A few...

Reading through this thread again. It’s insane how specific some of these symptoms are, like it stopping and starting rapidly when talking or when other sounds of moderate level are heard. Exactly like mine to an eerie degree. Mine came in these insanely loud attacks though, like someone pushed...

...I have tinnitus from time to time. Sometimes I have a very high pitched steady sound but it never lasts long. My main complaint is a low humming sound that sounds like being on a diesel powered boat. It comes and goes and drives me crazy. At present it is gone. Does anyone have this happen...

I've had a high-pitched hissing in both ears since April 1996. I'm able to ignore it most of the time. In July 1996, I started hearing a loud, low-pitched hum which is also a physical sensation, like a fluttering or vibration. This sound has caused me major depression, anxiety, and even...

I have multitone, 7 years and ive never habituated to the tinnitus, probably because it changes and gets progressively worse. So now i just mask it using as low a volume as i can. I have a small fan heater on too mask mid tones, and for bass I use a surround sound system with a recording of...

I know how difficult and limited your life is, I know exactly what you are going through. But it's not the end. I have/had catastrophic >60 dB multiple tones, reactive, permanently spiking from <40 dB (now it's only from significant noise events or artificial noise - avoid this like the plague)...

3.5 months in... So I am forcing myself to post something here because, despite improvements, I am still feeling despair a lot of times about this condition. I also noticed a lack of auditory input actually seems to make my tinnitus louder throughout the day. I work in a quiet office and I...

Yes this is brutal sick and horrible. I sometimes get a rumbling noise like my head is almost shaking. If it peaks this early I hope to heaven it dies away, or stops completely. Not months of this terror. As I hear the rumbling, I can pull in low frequency harmonics in other sounds ffs. I hope...

I have no idea what caused the relapse. It's happened before; I'll go several years without any sign of the humming noise, and then it will show up from out of the blue. Like you, I also feel my low tinnitus. It's like a vibration or fluttering somewhere in my head and ears. My high-pitched...

I've been a wedding DJ for 27 years. Once I open the dance floor, my earplugs go in. I use the cylindrical type that you roll up and that expand in your ear. I acquired tinnitus in April 1996, but I had no hearing loss. When I had it checked three years ago, my ENT said my hearing was...

I also have had a low frequency hum for 2 years now. It sounds exactly like there´s a faint sound of a car engine somewhere outside near my house. The sound stops when I shake my head, and returns in a second when I stop. The hum also goes away or the volume goes down to minimum after a night...

I have the evil hum/drone...since 2014. 24/7, none stop... loud. If I cover my ears with my hands it stops. If I have other low humming appliances running in the background it stops....I hear it indoors and outdoors equally. So, you think that cutting the tensor tympani may stop the humming?

I have all of those same sounds too. I find the lawnmower to be the most infuriating.

Thank you, Billie. I think if it stays constant (Went into kind of a remission again a couple of days ago, fingers crossed it's gonna stay this way for a while at least), I'll consider severing the muscles first, then anything available. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with SSHL. Are you...

I must admit, I spent one evening with my ex girlfriend and when I lied in bed, my tinnitus was at a minimum, I had been off of work for a couple of weeks but it was the first night the new low hum noise disappeared, came back two days later after driving but still. That evevining my tinnitus...

I've had a low-frequency hum, off and on, for over 20 years. I've never habituated to it. When it first started, I had numerous tests done including three MRI's over the years. No cause was ever found, and I had no hearing loss. My hearing is still great for my age (56). Sometimes the humming...

I went to a concert last Monday, the 16th, and another one on Tuesday, the 17th. But I didn't notice anything until Saturday, the 21st. The first show was pretty loud, Parquet Courts was the band. The second show wasn't very loud at all, Snarky Puppy was the band. I did some more reading...

Hey Sorry to hear! I think it’s safe to say it will disappear again and it’s great that it has so many times. So it’s always been both ears from day 1 for you?

Option#1: it's called cochlear hydrops, it should stay a low humming unless it gets worse and you developed vertigo, at that point you have what's called minieres. You can get tested for hydrops at an otologist, only an otologist not an ENT. Option#2: if the sound is like a typewriter in you...

...why this would be happening as usually it would be the other way around. I can say that at the very start of my tinnitus journey, I had a low humming noise that lasted about a week and it would stop and start. I did notice that when I wore ear muffs in the hearing test, the sound was gone. I...

FlyFish. I'm sorry for what you're experiencing. I feel like it's very similar to mine. My T began on Dec 4. Had mild sinus congestion, and was feeling out of sorts, but not very sick, and it passed within the day. Was accompanied by ringing in my right ear, which has always been troublesome on...

Wow, interesting story. So it used to be a lot louder and now is mostly non-existent? A lot of people with the hum got it after an acoustic trauma or lots of loud sounds which led me to believe it was some uncommon form of damage, whether that be to the nerve of Tensor Tympani muscle or outer...

I don’t do anything, so I guess I’ve habituated and often can be masked by background sounds. It’s not always the same intensity either and sometimes it goes away when the muscle(s) eventually relax. It’s quite independent from my normal T. Today it’s a low constant hum, not pulsatile. Not...

Hi. Ear started acting weird December 2013. Has been a diva all of 2014. Now being an abusive ****. I have lower frequency hearing loss, with a low to medium pitch loud humming. Occasionally sounds (and feels) like a hurricane is blowing into it. Also, sometimes, all sounds go...

If I have a good sleep, then when I wake, up at any time 3.30, 6.00. or any other time , often my T is low almost noticeable If I get up then it stays quiet all day long. If I try to get even an extra 5 minutes of sleep instead, it starts ringing again.The same happens when I take a five minute...

Hello Everyone, I’m a 69-year-old Welshman who is lucky enough to live in small village in the Italian Alps. I’m overweight and suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Here’s my story: A couple of weeks ago I was watering my plants on my terrace when I slipped, fell backwards and I hit the back of my...

Headache still gone.. must have been the reaction to the Rife. I have to say, it was making me nervous and anxious. I was not wanting another permanent tone to listen to day and night along with the T. My right ear has no tones, humming, shreaking... clear - for now. Hope it lasts. The left...

I started hearing a typical high-pitched hissing in my head back in 1996. A few months later, a low-frequency hum was added to the mix. I eventually habituated to the higher frequency, but the humming completely changed my life for the worst. I could only sleep a few hours a night as it sounded...

Hello... Looking for any suggestions or comments, or encouragement. Here is a summary of my tinnitus journey. In November 2020 I developed a slight hiss and moderate hearing loss in my left ear. Over the last 10 months my tinnitus has very slowly spread to both ears; I have loud hissing now...

@Canyonmom It is indeed very interesting about the plug stopping your tinnitus. My tinnitus started off as a low hum that was on and off for a week then stopped. I noticed when I had a hearing test that week, when I put on the headphones at the audiologist, the tinnitus stopped! I went home and...

Hey was your fleeting tinnitus lower in frequency? I’ve never had low fleeting around 800 Hz-1 kHz until this last year in which I developed the hum.

Hey @Juha, I would describe mine exactly the way you have described yours. 100%. Welcome! In terms of inhibition mine fluctuates but almost always after I go out to bars(with ear plugs) or drive for hours it is inhibited for a few days. Yours might react that way if you experience longer bass...

I have low humming/buzzing/vibrating tinnitus, something resembling yours, I hear a motor type sound with a hint of a foghorn. It stops when I cover my ears, or plug it with my finger (earplugs sadly don't have the same effect). For me it's recurring, not always present, normally I have it every...

Hello Doc, New here! My first post, but did some reading. If I could get your expertise on this condition that has been bothering me for a while now: The low "humming" bass noise that is new for me (I had the usual high pitch tinnitus with a high frequency hearing loss, and I learned how to...

Anyone ever have the low humming reactive tinnitus as "super reactive" as in balls to the wall loud? It isn't always constant, it comes and goes in a wavering way, as if I have a freaking lightsaber being waved around my right ear. Is this a symptom of cochlear hydrops if it's generally low...

Yes Sam, the left ear hasn't responded much and the ear fullness plus loud roaring and high pitch tinnitus are both playing their free duet to me daily. So I have a tenor and a bass competing for my attention. Lol. The ear fullness amplifies the low roaring and humming tinnitus of the deaf ear...

...one specifically for tinnitus and have your tried other brands before Starkey? Also, is your tinnitus the type with very high pitch, or with a low humming? My audiologist said I have hearing loss in the high frequency, thus my T is ultra high pitch like a dentist drill with 10 times the pitch.

Your tinnitus sound rather complex, Ben. I do hope that hearing aids will seal the deal for you. Please let us know what your audiologist has to say about it (y)

Welcome to the forum. You have my empathy as new tinnitus is often a shock and struggle. I may not have the same causes of tinnitus as you but I do have a low roaring humming tinnitus on my deaf left ear and a high pitch scream on the right. It is like I have a duet of a bass and a tenor 7/24...

...not there is tinnitus. Now, could it be caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction? Yes, maybe. I'm sort of in the same boat. I developed a low humming sound during an upper respitory infection. Like your tinnitus, sometimes it "pulses" (but not with my heartbeat), but mostly it's consistent...

I'm kind of the same; mine feels like my brain is humming sometimes, like I couldn't say where it's coming from, it's just "my head". I'm sitting in my audiologist waiting room so I'll mention it!

I've never smoked any kind of weed in my life, and I'm 56 years old. But since my tinnitus returned about a month ago after being absent for 8 months, I'd be willing to try heroin at this point. I have a very loud low-pitched humming that I can physically feel as well as hear (I've posted about...

Possible barotrauma from giving a birth?

Hey I just realized you commented on my thread about my issue ;). Is the low humming the only tone you have?

...a show and wearing earplugs. I do take man's enhancement stuff for my partner and I know those can be ototoxic. The sounds can be from low humming to low pulses, sometimes with rhythm pattern and sometimes not; they change often. How loud is your Musical Ear Syndrome? My palinacousis would...

Hi I started to hear a low frequency humming at home which I was convinced was a resonance from next door caused by a fridge or washing machine, as it seemed to ' swish'. I then heard exactly the same sound in the office when it was quiet. I have experimented with masking the noise and I use an...

Diagnosed with my sudden ‘Sensorineural Hearing Loss’ 4 months back (including Tinnitus). It has taken me 3 months to work out that the advice of my specialists and GPs re habituating’ is only a small part of helping myself. I’ve gradually realised that if I don’t ‘protect’ my ears from what is...

hi! I’ve been suffering with a low rumbling/humming in my right ear which started about 2 weeks after I got really bad oral thrush last year. The oral thrush has steadily improved over the year, it’s still there but nowhere near as bad as it was. I started with a low rumbling in my right ear...

Hi, I have similar, low frequency ring like a tuning fork being waved around my right ear. I've never heard if I.v circulation enhancers before. Very interesting! Did you get an mri yet? You might have the same problem as me, anterior inferior cerebellar artery loop compressing the cochlear...

Does yours sound like a low rumble, like at 50-60 Hz in tone? Does it pulsate at times, and when aggravated gets intense with a more continuous sound and more feeling it physically in the ear? Does coming back from driving make it worse, or putting an earplug in the ear and taking it out...

It'll be very personal. For me, masking was more running away than facing and start dealing / getting used to my new reality... If I allowed my hum for a longer time, I got less scared of it (still scared, 160 blood pressure, still to this day) as opposed to masking and hearing it occasionally...

Hi guys, thanks for hugging me :-) I have some,mixed hearing loss, some in the lows 0-2khz slight , 3-6khz seem to be ok, 7-8khz moderat, 9-12 khz slight. Tinitus always highpitched, secound tone is changing frequency and is more low. Today humming in the subbasses.....yesterday about...

Thank you for sharing.

Oh...yes I know the sound well. It is probably someone's appliance like a refrigerator. I noticed the new ones are much more humming than older ones. Especially ours!! It is like my brain picks up on these sounds more. In fact one example is this. We have issues with pin hole leaks in...

Near perfect hearing on those simple audiograms, yes (not a single frequency goes below 20 dB) - I guess my drone is lower than 125 Hz (that's the lowest they are testing here on audiograms), -20 dB in left ear at 125 Hz - still my drone is in the right ear, -20 dB in both ears at 4000 Hz too...

My regular drone sits at 80 Hz. On some days it drops lower for a few seconds and then it suddenly sits around 65 Hz. In the mornings it is a bit higher and is more in the head than in the ear. The byproduct theory is based on a couple things: 1) All the specialists I saw said it was in fact...
