In May 2021, I developed new tones in my ears two days after receiving the vaccine. These sounded like cicadas and a mass of hissing. Before that, I only had a low rumbling hum. While the new sounds were unpleasant, they remained stable. The hissing was reactive, but I found that the sound of a...

Two days ago, I was standing in line at the pharmacy, and right behind me was a mother holding her toddler. The toddler screamed three times, and the high pitch of the screams was so intense that I had to put my fingers in my ears. Although the screams were short, only lasting a second each, I...

I got 2 new tinnitus tones on May 12th (my original tone was dormant but came back to life with 2 new ones the day after the vaccine). Still really annoying 4 months later. The last month things have started to get odd where what I hear is quite harsh, almost like a broken speaker. I am...

For the last month that I have been suffering from what I assumed was reactive tinnitus but I have just learnt of diplacusis which could be even more apt to my condition. For instance, I have hissing tinnitus in both my ears (new since 13th May post COVID-19 vaccine) and this progressed to left...

I have had tinnitus since 2002-ish but since last month, the day after the COVID-19 vaccine, I have been given a new shrill sort of hissing sound with a reactive swirly wispy whistle noise on top (imagine tuning an old radio inbetween signals). The last few nights I have woken up with the...

I am finding it very hard to cope with my new tinnitus life. For 15 years I coped with tinnitus, just put on fans 24/7 and got on with life. Now since I had the COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer), I have a hissing so loud in my ears that sounds like someone is letting down a tyre, that gets even louder...

I am going to get my ears manually de-waxed soon. I have a choice of a place with an audiologist or a place that calls their staff Aural Care Practitioners. Anyone know the difference? The latter seems a cheaper service, but this could just be because of the clinic rather than the job...

I asked a local audiologist about having a hearing test. They said they offer a basic and full one. Below is what they replied. What concerned me was the term "air conduction" and "bone conduction", hopefully this isn't any sort of Tympanometry or LDL test? "A screening test is 4 frequencies...

I have 2 tinnitus noises in the same ear, a hiss that turns in to a intense buzz in a quiet room, and a low frequency hum around 100 Hz or less that can be stopped when I shake my head (as though saying "no") rapidly or if a airplane flies overhead FAR in the distance, so far it is barely even...

This last week, I have suddenly got a whistling coil whine in my bad tinnitus ear that is new and unlike my existing long term tinnitus; this happens when I have my aircon or fans on, and it makes the coil whine in my bad tinnitus ear louder than the aircon/fan. I have recently been having...

I have 2 types of tinnitus in 1 ear, one static noise that I hear all the time but differs in severity (with colds I feel my head will explode with static) and another much stranger rumbling hum noise that also changes in severity, but that putting my finger in my ear will stop. Sometimes I...

Many of us on here who got either a spike or new tinnitus after their 1st shot of the COVID-19 vaccine are wondering whether to take a 2nd shot (unless you took J&J, then you have no problem with pondering). So this is why I thought to create this thread, so we can discuss that. I am considering...

So I managed to avoid a cold for the last 5 years, but someone in the same house as me forgot to tell me they have a cold and so I didn't protect myself early enough, as I hate getting colds due to all the grief I get with my ears. I remember 5 years ago when I had a cold I had a tinnitus spike...

I have a "diesel engine on idle" type tinnitus in my left ear, which spiked higher after Gabapentin usage. My ear also feels a bit like it is vibrating or fluttering. I noticed when certain external noises happened this sensation and noise in my ear lessened. So I checked online for frequencies...

Okay, I do suffer badly from anxiety, but also tinnitus and problems with noise. If I am in a supermarket for instance and a baby cries I have to get out of that aisle as I can't cope with the shriek, it drives me crazy. Anyway, today I was sat in the drivers seat and someone got out to slam...

I appreciate this is a tinnitus forum, and I do have tinnitus, but I also have dizziness. Back in late 2015 I took a Nurofen Sinus tablet due to a awful forehead headache, it made me feel dizzy and sick, or at least I was dizzy and sick at that time, it could be coincidence as I wasn't well with...

Just my story about my very annoying loud rumbling tinnitus, you know, the usual car parked outside with engine idling type sound. Back in 2005 I started to use ear plugs as my neighbours dog would wake me up at 7am every day when the postman or paperboy came. After 4 days I got annoyed by a...

Nothing in my house can get rid of the rumbling deep vibrating hum I have in my left ear, except that is 2 things. One is my air conditioner on its very loudest setting, but now during the winter it won't work as it s colder already than the unit will work under, and I also don't fancy being...
