    Seeking Support for Severe Tinnitus Spike After Very Loud Restaurant with DJ Playing Music

    I am a 40-year-old male looking for serious support and help. I've been dealing with tinnitus in my left ear since July 2018. After about a year, the noise subsided somewhat, partly due to habituation. It was a nightmare on and off, to say the least. Since then, I've managed to get on with my...

    Tinnitus Spike After an MRI (with Contrast) — MRA (with Contrast) Scheduled in 2 Weeks

    Years ago I had an MRI and MRA without contrast of the head. Now I am going forward with what I'm viewing as a last ditch effort to try and see if anything at all can be found with regards to my regular (and pulsatile) tinnitus with both an MRI and MRA with contrast of both the head AND the...

    It's been 3 years living with on and off pulsatile tinnitus (on top of my regular tinnitus) and I feel the time has finally come for me to try and take more action.

    Sudden Hearing Loss and Helicopter Noise in Ear — Please Help Me

    Thursday morning while leaving work I have no idea what on Earth happened. I have no idea how this is for real. I got in my car and noticed I could only hear the radio clearly with my right ear. It was as if I suddenly lost almost half of my hearing in in my left ear. I suffer from regular...

    Head Buzz Tinnitus Completely Gone in the Mornings

    Not my regular ringing tinnitus of course. I'm talking about a "head buzz/static" noise spike I have had for the last month now, which began about 8 hours after a flight. It has been pretty constant, going away at one point for two full days, only to eventually return. For the last THREE days...

    Can Stress Really Trigger Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    Just one more question for anyone who knows about pulsatile tinnitus (which sadly doesn’t seem to be many on these forums) In reality, is it at all possible for pulsatile tinnitus to be legitimately caused or triggered by anxiety/stress? It’s just interesting that this past weekend I really...

    What Exactly Does Your Pulsatile Tinnitus Sound Like?

    Just curious if hearing your own heartbeat in your ear(s) for you guys is actually hearing the legitimate sound of a heartbeat the way we all know, or if it is your ringing that just goes up and then down with every beat. For me, it's a very high frequency sound that goes along with the beat of...

    Thought My Tinnitus Was Better, Now It's PULSATING!?

    How Does Stress Cause Tinnitus Spikes?

    Might be a dumb question but I may be experiencing it at the moment. But how does anything but noise or some sort of damage to the inner ear cause a spike of tinnitus? I am now experiencing some tinnitus in my RIGHT ear for the first time ever (previously only had it in the left) after a spike...

    Tinnitus Aggravated After Years of Peace

    Hey all, first post. In August of 2004 a friend blew an air horn inside of my car. It would be the moment that would change my life forever, so I thought. The ringing started immediately and would continue. I was only 20 years old. My parents tried to support me after the "accident" as I lost my...
