I am having SSHL and the deaf ear emits a low humming rumbling tinnitus. In SSHL support forum, many people mentioned getting a cochlear implant has greatly lowered their tinnitus. If it gets to that life and death decision, you may research on this more to see if it will help. If my deaf left...

@Greg Sacramento Just want to say I really appreciate your wealth of knowledge shared on the forum 2 months ago I had TTTS spasms in my left ear constantly, not anymore. During this time I heard a LOUD humming sound at one time, that slowly went away during 4 hours. Idling truck, low pitched...

Welcome to the forum, @Wheels73. Sorry that your new low humming T is giving you so much trouble. You have habituated to T before so be positive that you can handle the new ringing sound too. It may just take some time. Hopefully your new sound goes away but if it doesn't people do get used to...

Im glad it went away for you Carlos1 :) So one day you noticed the humming, went to the doctor and get prednizone and it went away just like that? Since im not feeling too well either i guess i should take a trip to my doctor. But i doubt i will get prednizone just like that. Most of the...

Mine is machine like as well, but maybe a bit more nasally, or bass-like, or I don't know how to define it. It vibrates, sometimes all over my head. It really, really annoys me. I first realized that if I cover my ears thoroughly, or put my finger in it, it stops. Now I just put earplugs in it...

I'm new to this.I've been having a vibrating low buzzing, humming sound in my ear (head?) for a week. I used to have something like this 3 years ago, but it went away. I'm at law school in Eastern Europe. We have to do a lot of cramming, so thousands of pages to remember and give back by...

Hello to all and God bless all who are learning to cope with tinnitus. March 30, 2017 was my first experience. Woke up with low humming and roaring noise in my head. For years I've dealt with chronic sinus, seasonal allergy and and inner ear problems. Had sinus surgery in 1981. The past two...

Oh wow, exact same here as Keylime. It's this annoying low hum, about 50-60Hz, right ear only. When it's bad, it's constant, but most of the time it seems to come in and out, unrelated to pulse. It sounds like a slow vroom vroom vroom, modulated about 1-2Hz. I've had it about 2 weeks now. I saw...

...checking my tinnitus which didn't seem to change at first. But by the time I was going to bed my left ear started to make this crazy loud low humming sound. Louder than the tinnitus in my right ear. Which is loud. Today the new tinnitus it seems to have gone down, but I am stuck with a low...

...What I don't get, and don't know how to categorize, is when reactivity happens nowhere near the actual pitch of the sound. Any low humming in the real world agitates my ultra-high hissing/squealing. I don't think it's mechanical (eardrum/middle ear) because the hissing is all over the...

I know what you mean about waiting for everything. Most of my appointments I have had to wait at least 4 months. At this point I would rather just pay someone to tell me they can't do anything for me instead of waiting 4 months and having them tell me the same... Have you had any developments...

This sounds similar to what I've developed. It started with a high pitched sound, but over the last few days I have started hearing a more low frequency tone that only accompanies certain other sounds, e.g. fridge noise, a car engine, a hand dryer etc. Even when I hear music, when certain tones...

I'm 48 years old, and about two weeks ago a low humming sound started in my right ear. I kept asking my husband if he could hear it. He said no, I thought it was coming from a neighbor's house, since I live in an apartment. I only thought I heard it in the bedroom, but today when I woke , and...

Have u tried seeing a tmj specialist ? What event or events brought on ur t, is it pulsatile t? See this thread, can't hurt to try this supplement https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/a-cure.8058/#post-93001

How is your low frequency humming doing now @Bill_ ? I've had that issue in the past and have also experienced the weird sensation of having the "hum sound" disappear when I plug my ears. I've found that for myself, my low frequency hum usually kicks up when I have TMJ/TTTS/jaw stiffness, or...

Throughout the day I have been losing more low frequency hearing, and I really don't know why whatsoever (possibly road noise?), but it could be the earplugs I am wearing. I wear deep fitting foam earplugs which are great for external sounds. They also seem to minimize the occlusion effect...

Hello, I am happy to find Tinnitus Talk. I have been suffering from pain, ringing and low humming sounds in both ears since a Caloric air test on Sept 18, 2019. I have been suffering daily and can not sleep. I have tried acupuncture but stopped because it was so expensive. I have tried a...

Hello, I’ve been reading that circa 15% of the population has tinnitus. That got me wondering where were they hiding... And here I finally found you. So glad to meet you all. I first noticed my tinnitus nearly a year ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with this really low “morse code”...

Hi Lisa, Certainly a lot of similarities. Regarding your remark that you are 95% sure it is not constant: I had that in the beginning too. I described it somewhere in this thread (or in another one) as it was actually behaving like an old stuttering engine and then finally just stopping. 3...

...after a fight with my mom. After that I slept very little for 2 days. The second day I thought I heard something new. It's like a very low humming sound but it could very well be something in the room. But I hear it in a lot of rooms and it makes me focus on my hearing a lot again. I am...

Do you also have regular tinnitus? I started having the same low rumbling humming last week. Do you wear a soft or hard mouthguard? The hard plastic guard looks uncomfortable to sleep in.

I can also stop my hum temporarily by shaking the head in a "no" pattern. I got my hum (and elevated "broken up tone" tinnitus that hasn't bothered me since my since teenage years – will turn 43 this year) in conjunction with drinking six beers one night in December last year. Never never heard...

Greetings all! So to start with I have no idea how my tinnitus started. No hearing loss and healthy. From my years with tinnitus which started as a barely noticeable ringing sound in my right ear I now have: -High, low and mid ranged tones, buzzing and ringing in both ears -pulsatile “ufo”...

I have something quite similar. A low frequency tone that sounds like a mix of an idling motor/foghorn/washing machine. Mine is only in my left ear and it's on/off. Can you make it stop by covering your ear with your hand, plugging it with your finger, swallowing, talking, yawning? I have had...

I've never been officially diagnosed with OCD, but I definitely have some form of it. To be clear, I do NOT wash my hands repeatedly, count things, or feel the need to open a door several times before I enter a room. Mine is closer to anxiety and depression. In fact, I've been on antidepressants...

I am new the site and seeking some ideas to help me understand what I am dealing with. For about four months, many weekday afternoons at work, low-frequency tinnitus kicks in. Sometimes, it follows a morning of hyperacusis at meetings, but other days it just starts happening. I have two main...

Hey guys, I normally don't do this kind of thing but I just recently stumbled upon some relief and feel the need to post this. My symptoms were a low pitch humming fog horn sound and then on top of that I had thumping clicking tapping fluttering and drumming in my right ear only. Well, I...

Hi everyone, My name is Ray and I'm 27 years old. I've been reading posts in this community and I'm encouraged by how supportive everyone is and sharing in each other's joys and pains. I developed tinnitus which sounds like a really low-pitch hum sound in my right ear 4 days ago. Background...

Yes I posted about hearing a droning sound recently. Oddly enough a couple of other people in my neighborhood said they had started hearing it aswell. I wondered if it was external or not as blocking my ears stopped it. Still don't know but it's not so bad now or I'm just better at ignoring it...

@Kimberley8 Read your postings. Your tone is key. Doubtful that your C spine is placing pressure to your vertebral artery causing this sound, but this is is on a short list of possibilities. Possible that sound is pre development of pulsatile tinnitus caused from hypertension as...

After dealing with this for over 20 years, I've had many ups and downs with regard to the noise as well as the depression. I can go for up to a year without any roaring in my ears at all. That's when I (obviously) feel alive and hopeful. But when it returns, like it did a week ago, I begin...

OK, that outdoes me. :) At least mine's not reactive. On the other hand, I used to get a low-pitched humming sound in both ears when I shook my head vigorously. That's disappeared since I started taking NR.

Mine, which will be 6 years old this next Saturday, has been loud enough since day one to be able to be heard over any other noise with few exceptions (shower, sometimes). Loud angry angle grinder sound. I've been through lots of random spikes, multiple durations. Horrible. The feeling of it...

Was your tinnitus pulsatile or was it more of a high pitch or low humming type sound?

Can you also stop it by covering your ear tightly with your palm or plugging it with your finger? Do talking/being talked to, yawning, swallowing also make it stop?

Thanks for sharing! I so hope things will improve for you. Your story once again shows that we are all wasting our time when seeing doctors about this. They are absolutely useless when dealing with tinnitus and hyperacusis and we are better off not wasting our time and money there...

Hello My name is Lauren and my tinnitus started at the end of March. I am almost certain it was caused by Lexapro. I was on Lexapro for about 5 weeks and stop immediately since the on set of tinnitus. My tinnitus started off as blaring car horn in my left ear but has faded quite a bit since...

Hi all. I would be going to a doctor to get this properly checked, but since I'm not in a really great living environment (won't go into detail so don't ask) plus because of what's going on in the world right now... I figured it'd be best to ask on this forum. (I don't live in the US or UK, but...

Hi, my name is Jerad. Recently, my hyperacusis and tinnitus were only mild. I had improved very significantly with hyperacusis. I’d say my LDLs were around 80-85 decibels, which made everyday life tolerable for the most part. As for my tinnitus, I had habituated to it and it wasn’t bad. I didn’t...

Blood pressure change of the carotid artery - pre hypertension moments that usually only last a few minutes. Constant worry and anxiety about loud noises can also cause the tensor tympani muscle to become overly active. This is supported in almost all newer studies...

...high pitched noise. Googling tinnitus became an obsession and I cried more over the fact that there was "no cure". I started hearing a low humming noise along with the high pitched noise in my right ear. The other ear also has a sort of high pitch but it's not as noticeable as the one in my...

Same symptoms here. Pressure/pain/fullness + ringing + low level hum/vibration + fluttering with sound.

Anyone have this following trend on your T? Wake up with low tolerable T which can easily be ignored and drive to office. When reach office and sit in front of computer, T gradually increase. I am doing a desk bound job using laptop with external monitor. The increase is very gradual My...

I have low frequency T. Mine always has the humming and DEFINITELY the vibrating. It used to just be the back of my head neck but at night and with little sleep or when Im really tired it vibrates throughout my whole body. Feels like everything is shaking internally. Steroids worked in the very...

Did you have your hearing checked?

Hello there, I've had high frequency tinnitus for many years, it's one of those things that I got used to quite quickly and now I hardly notice it at all. However last year I started having intermittent low frequency tinnitus in my left ear, like many others at first I attributed it to...

You are pretty much identical to me :( Mines 7 years high pitch, then the humming appeared later, its getting progressively worse, then the frequent pain and pressure started, slow hearing loss. I suspect hydrops too, gave up with going to the doctors. They can never find anything wrong...

OMG!! This is literally making me go insane....Like I can't live with it anymore....Its so loud and vibrating my whole head and ear canal....Something is terribly wrong...7 months of this.....Loud Low pulsating humming (Sounds like a semi engine in my ear)....Had an MRI but they can't see a...

I think its becauae the speaker on your tablet will be closer to you so the sound waves have more power when reaching your ear, where as with a tv you are generall further away from it so the sound waves lose power. The same thing happens to me, sometimes i will have some purple noise playing...

My tinnitus is raging in both ears it's a very high pitch hiss along with a loud low humming noise. It's greatly impacting on my mood and been off work 2 weeks. Went back work this week 3 days but can not cope and doctor put me on the club 4 more weeks. Think I have hyperacusis as sounds just...

So... I am now sleeping in total silence (first time since 13 months) - I am even sleeping on the humming ear (right). Fan and cricket sounds stay off all night. Weird thing is that my hum stays low as well (it's still there). Bad thing is that in the morning pretty much every single sound...

I am a thirty-something year old female who suddenly developed tinnitus in my right ear at the age of 18. Initially my tinnitus sounded like a low grade siren. Eventually the siren sound went away and was replaced with a hum along with hissing and whistling. After the initial shock, I was able...

...and recently (less than a month later) I've also developed some sort of either distortion or a new reactive tone that takes the form of a low humming when certain other sounds are present, such as fridge noise or a car engine. I'm not sure if mine has been caused by ototoxicity, infection or...

...I first heard the tinnitus before or after this. However, yesterday I developed a second noise which is bothering me a lot more. It is a low humming sound which only seems to be heard along with other sounds, such as the noise of the fridge and other background noises. I'm kind of hoping...

@Jamie The humming that you describe matches exactly what happened to me after using a jigsaw for about 10 seconds to cut a small piece of wood. It wasn't particularly loud and I believe it was the vibration rather than the noise that had an effect. For around 4 months afterwards I couldn't put...

I too have a deep low humming noise that I hear constantly when in my home. I would swear it is not me, or low frequency tinnitus, but an outside source. I don't seem to hear it anywhere else. I have been for standard hearing tests and told my hearing is perfect in left and just less than...

Your choices, but with considerations: A decision should be made quickly for oral steroids. An emergency room doctor can pad a script for you. I would file an accident report and disability. "Currently, in addition to therapeutic approaches such as oral steroids and/or intratympanic...

@Rachiejo That's great that you haven't been avoiding things, something I did wrong when I first got T, wish I could go back & tell myself to deal with it calmly, that said, if I could go back at all I wouldn't have listened to my music so loud! :p Not 100% sure if that's the reason but it's a...

My tinnitus started back in 2017 after months of clearing my ears with water and listening to loud music. It sounded like a car driving past in the distance, like a buzzing, humming sound, but it went away after a while. Since then I have had many forms of tinnitus, beeping, high pitched...
