I have unilateral tinnitus on the left, which can be strongly affected by moving structures of the face (somatic tinnitus). A lateral shift of the lower jaw to the right with the hand strongly intensifies the tinnitus. A lateral shift of the lower jaw to the left also produces a - clearly...

I have unilateral tinnitus (left ear) with variable intensity. When the lower jaw is shifted (by hand) sideways to the right, the tinnitus becomes significantly louder. I do not have tinnitus in my right ear. However, when I move my lower jaw with my hand to the left, I have a similar beeping...

Publications say: 60-80% of all tinnitus sufferers are able to modulate the intensity of their complaints by "somatic influence". By shifting the jaw sideways, clenching the teeth together, pressing trigger points on the head, etc. etc. How was it with you?

One can often read from tinnitus sufferers that every form of "noise pollution" increases their complaints. Even driving in a car would only be bearable for a few minutes, because otherwise a "spike" would have to be expected. Can everyday noise harm a tinnitus sufferer? Should tinnitus...

What do you think about the fact that many tinnitus clinics sell hearing aids to almost every patient if there is even the slightest sign of (age-appropriate?) hearing loss?

I only have tinnitus on my left side. I can make a noise in my left ear much louder than the continuous tinnitus by various methods (pressure on the scalp, on the root of the nose, on the cheek, by moving the jaw, by negative pressure in the mouth...). My persistent tinnitus seems to be only a...

Many tinnitus sufferers report considerable daily fluctuations in their tinnitus intensity. Me, too. What explanation do you have for this?

1. Does it make sense to distinguish between noise-induced tinnitus and non-noise-induced tinnitus? 2. Does it make sense to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral tinnitus? 3. What do you think about the somatosensory approach of explaining tinnitus? 4. Does tinnitus usually have a...

Many tinnitus sufferers report considerable (often daily) fluctuations in tinnitus intensity. I am interested in whether tinnitus sufferers with noise as the cause of tinnitus differ from tinnitus sufferers with other causes of tinnitus.

Several tinnitus sufferers hear a very specific tone and can determine its pitch. Does your tinnitus also have a pitch, or is it different, like white noise or hissing or still completely different?

I often read that people described their tinnitus as "non-typical". What do you think about "your tinnitus"? Happy voting Tinni-Ger

My tinnitus is fluctuating considerably. And mild days (2/10) alternate with horror days (8/10). I would describe these fluctuations as strong (4). What is the extent of your tinnitus fluctuations?

I once read the expert advice to avoid silence. Many tinnitus sufferers use a background noise to distract themselves. This doesn't work for me at all, and any continuous noise, even rather quiet noises (fan) seem to spur on the hiss in my ear. What are your experiences?

What a strange question! This question has to do with me, because I suspect that I do not have normal tinnitus. I have the impression that my permanent tinnitus (left only) is only a subset of the very loud beeping, that I can cause by pressure on different parts of the head or face. Constant...

I am a little surprised at how rarely the problem of tinnitus and professional activity is made the subject here. It is absolutely necessary for the economic existence to function in professional life. And that's a big problem with serious tinnitus. What should and can be done if a break of...

Many tinnitus sufferers report a somatic influence on their tinnitus. Somatic tinnitus is a condition in which the sensory system in the body can cause, worsen or influence tinnitus. This thread is intended to describe the symptoms of somatic tinnitus. How was the process of somatic tinnitus...

In a discussion among tinnitus sufferers, I reported my somatic symptoms and the very loud beeping in my ear (only left!) that I have with movement or pressure from certain parts of my head. And the idea that the fluctuating permanent tinnitus could have something to do with it. Thereupon some...

I often wonder whether my observations, with beeping when pressing on different parts of the head, beeping with certain head turns or pushing the lower jaw to the right, have not always existed. Already existed, before I got my bizarre hissing tinnitus on my left ear, probably because of a noise...

When my hissing in my left ear is quieter, I often hear small zaps for hours (and days), approx. 4-8x/second, partly like a pulse-synchronous ratchet, partly additional "impacts". They're not very loud, but quite annoying. Can I hear cell discharges now, or is that a nonsense? Is that what some...

...pure, unbearable tinnitus in the left ear - and yet it sounds normal and "as usual" when I rub my thumb and index finger against each other and hold them to one of my ears. Any explanations? Friendly discussion Tinniger

That's supposed to be an ironic title, of course. But people who have suffered an acute acoustic trauma know, at least: This trauma destroyed my auditory cells. People for whom the cause is not so clear are in the dark. Notice all kinds of somatic phenomena, observe their jaw (TMJ?), notice...

Many tinnitus sufferers have good and bad days. Also with me the days fluctuate between 2/10, 5/10 and 9/10 (1-2x/week). Although 2/10 can be annoying, it is totally bearable. You can distract yourself and only notice your tinnitus occasionally, for example when you turn off the engine in the...

I'm actually very disappointed with all the tinnitus diagnostics. Nobody seems to care about the symptoms. How the "sounds" sound, no matter, whether an acoustic trauma was the trigger, even no matter, somatic phenomena - what is that?, - is only one ear affected or both, why this question...

I refer to the following survey: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/attachments/hub-survey-report-pdf.9777/ I am surprised that 32.83% of those questioned answered yes to the following question: Do you have somatic tinnitus? I think that is a remarkably high percentage.

I refer to the following survey: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/attachments/hub-survey-report-pdf.9777/ I am surprised that 17.72% of those questioned answered yes to the following question: Do you have pulsatile tinnitus? I think that is a remarkably high percentage.

These two subgroups may have different symptoms, different damage, and different treatment options. What do you mean?

Explanation: Many people have tinnitus that changes from day to day, or is worse during specific times of the day. Some will have worse tinnitus after waking from a nap. Others will be fine on awakening but the sounds get progressively louder during the day. Some will experience increased...

Many tinnitus sufferers experience different hearing noise events. Some people are also familiar with pulsed sounds. How about you guys?

I am always surprised how little precise the description of tinnitus sounds is. Could it not be helpful to refine the description of the sounds? What do you think?

Moderate pressure on the scalp around the tinnitus ear makes a loud beeping that resembles the tinnitus beeping, - or is even louder. Pressure on the scalp of the healthy ear does not make any beeping. I don't know if it's partly responsible for the permanent tinnitus. I would be happy to...

The mystery of better and worse days. With my tinnitus, I have days when it is very intense and days when it is rather mild. I myself have not yet found an explanation or pattern for the bad days, although I consider everything: Work, sleep, eating, drinking, stress, noise, exercise, etc. I...

http://whooshers.com/whoosherspolls.html I like polls very much ... :)

I am a little surprised that many tinnitus sufferers seem to be unsure about the cause... And I like to have data;)

I've met many tinnitus sufferers wearing hearing protection. To protect against exposure to noise and consecutive deterioration of the tinnitus. Extreme noise protection often leads to social isolation and consequently to depression. I have never met anyone who has become "healthy" by wearing...

The possibilities of tinnitus therapy include the provision of hearing aids for moderate hearing loss. Have you tried this possibility?

Does anyone know this symptom?

Many tinnitus sufferers suspect noise damage, - but are not sure. (Me, too). Moreover, somatic symptoms are not uncommon. (Somatic tinnitus). Is there a way to distinguish between the two? E. g. otoacustic emissions or similar? Regards Tinniger

It seems to me that only my tinnitus ear is the problem...

I read a lot about hyperacusis. I wonder if my impression is common... please answer the poll above. Regards, Tinniger

Many tinnitus sufferers report a deterioration after exposure to noise. How long does it take to get worse? Regards Tinniger

Are there any better audiograms on the internet? https://hearingtest.online/ At least a hearing test that can prove a difference between the right and left ear...

I am interested in the question of whether noise-induced tinnitus differs from tinnitus, which is not noise-induced.

Hi folks, I am experienced in what tinnitus sounds like in carotid dissection... If you have any questions concerning carotid dissection and tinnitus - I will answer.... Regards Tinniger

Is there a connection between cause (noise, drugs, pp.) and type (high pitched, ringing, whistling, roaring, hissing, chirping, sinus tone pp.) of the tinnitus?

... or is it nonsense? Look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otoacoustic_emission "The relationships between otoacoustic emissions and tinnitus have been explored. Several studies suggest that in about 6% to 12% of normal-hearing persons with tinnitus and SOAEs, the SOAEs are at least...

My tinnitus is a high-frequency hissing in the left ear (like old television), - and can be influenced by movement of muscles or pressure to the head. It gets very loud, when putting ear plugs (foam) in, and becomes "normal" again putting them out., maybe a little bit masked by the normal noise...

Hello! A question concerning tinnitus: Does OAE test make sense? Does BERA test make sense? Is there additional information comparing to Angio-MRT? Regards Tinniger
