    I'm Not Committing Suicide. I'm Being Murdered by Merciless Tinnitus.

    It is correct what you say, nobody more than me can agree. I guess that some folks, minimizing the terrible discomfort, in good faith try to 'digest' and to mask the fact that actually there is no real cure for most of us, since it's even difficult to find the reason of our tinnitus usually...

    Neurofeedback Shows Promise in Treating Tinnitus

    Knowing how tricky matter can be tinnitus, I heard that somebody here didn't get benefits from neurofeedback when instead the article gives hopes...who knows...let's hope for the best... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/11/171127091127.htm

    Every Loud Noise Causes a Spike, Is It Because of Hyperacusis?

    butterfly75, I experience a sudden hum sound, a low frequency sound around 69kh, each time after I'm exposed to some kind of mild/loud sound. Is this the kind of spike of tinnitus you're referring? If yes you're not alone...usually the 'hum' I have from exposure to sound doesn't last really long...

    Does Tinnitus Usually Go Away?

    I believe more that is a failure of our brain/ear to close the path of certain frequency that creates the tinnitus, I will not bet on nerve damage. In other words our natural noise gates doesn't function properly and you can hear it what normally you won't.

    We Need to Find the 'Noise Gates' of Our Ears and Re-Activate Them

    I believe, after reading a lot on the subject, that for the majority of cases, whether normal tinnitus or pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus is created by a fault of our ear in suppressing the noise made by neural activity in the brain. If this is true we need just to find the ear 'noise suppressor'...

    High-Pitch Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Did somebody knows what happened to Pilot? He had something really similar to my pulsatile tinnitus. It would have been interesting to know if he get rid of this torment with dr. Levine help or disclosures...

    So My Doctor Thinks I Have Endolymphatic Hydrops...

    Sorry for a delayed comment. To simplify the story, hydrops is NOT always a sign of Meniere. They are two types of hydrops, a second type is called Secondary Endolymphatic Hydrops and has nothing to do with Meniere. Signs of this type of illness are very stable and crisis are showed much more...

    Objective or Subjective Pulsatile Tinnitus — What Difference Does It Really Make?

    Karen, Yes, definitely I will try to find a doctor that uses stethoscope. Seems not an easy task today though… My PT is similar to yours and to the one described by a member called Pilot which is not anymore here (I hope he got rid of his PT). My PT is a right hear high pitch hiss, like a rattle...

    Objective or Subjective Pulsatile Tinnitus — What Difference Does It Really Make?

    Dear Karen, I will love to answer you, but UNFORTUNATELY, doctors I saw so far they refused to use the stethoscope so that I still wonder if my PT is objective or subjective. Let me say that is just unbelievable this situation with this kind of repetitive problem. I hope to find a doctor that...

    Objective or Subjective Pulsatile Tinnitus — What Difference Does It Really Make?

    Regarding objective or subjective PT I still don't clearly understand what this implies. I understand that an ENT with a stethoscope can at times hear your PT, then you have an objective PT. But what implications this really brings? Maybe that your PT is 100% of a vascular nature?…or even if...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Mystery

    Let me be straight: You have totally my sympathy. If its 'a a noise for life' will be insane. So its not just a noise it is more a torture. You're right in your rejection. Also acceptance of the illness depends how strong is your symptom and loudness of PT. Probably for some the level is really...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Mystery

    Getting more and more unfortunately used to PT, that never stops, it is really hard to believe that this pulsating hiss is not from a vascular precise reason, even if unseen. But if it's from an inflammation cause instead, as I read often here, what kind of inflammation can create a PT sounds...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Mystery

    I'm glad I promoted 'reflections' here, I'm not sure who is right or is wrong, definitely some doctors told me that several people has PT without an effective cause and at times, often, PT can disappear by itself. This imply in my opinion much more of the famous 3% of people getting PT without a...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Mystery

    I'm reading here and in other blogs that PT it is mostly from vascular reasons, but recently I was told that there are instead a lot of cases with no evident vascular reason, pointing to different cause. Do we need to think that at least 30%-40% of PT are not from vascular origin? If this is...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Without a Known Cause — Can It Go Away?

    Thanks volsung37, I hope this will be the case. However, generally from posts I read, seems most likely it will stay in people, even without an evident cause, like a fistula, neuroma, tumors, vascular stenosis. So that if my PT will stay without disappearing, do I (we) have to assume that is of...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Without a Known Cause — Can It Go Away?

    Hello All, I read many many interesting posts here, but as much I read I'm not sure if PT, a pulsatile tinnitus without a known cause, can maybe go away by itself at times!… Does anybody know about cases where the PT went away as it came? Seems a legitimate question, or this kind of 'tinnitus'...
