I'd really like to know why some people's tinnitus completely disappears. I mean, how does it happen?

Not sure if and when Neuromod will be available here in Finland?

There really is no other way. My ears can't recover, there's nothing I can do to stop the ringing in my ears. I can't enjoy life anymore. This world has become too noisy. My ears are too damaged. And no matter what I do, some unexpected noise can all of a sudden ruin everything. I wear earplugs...

I'll keep this short. I've had tinnitus for 6 months. And hyperacusis. My tinnitus is very severe, I can hear it over everything. It's the loudest thing ever. There's no escape, and it just keeps getting worse. No matter what I do. I loved life, I had the most caring and loving girlfriend...

I have the same symptoms. I have allergies, chronic mucosal thickening in my paranasal sinuses, post nasal drip etc. The crackling sound comes from the Eustachian tubes because there is chronic inflammation and thick mucus and swelling. My ENT said that the sound comes from the Eustachian tubes...

I have a high pitched tinnitus in my both ears but when I wear earplugs I sometimes hear a very annoying morse code like beeping in my left ear, I don't usually hear it when I take off my earplugs. The sound isn't always there but when it is, it scares me. It disappeared for a month and it came...

I just want to hear silence again

My thoughts exactly! I keep thinking this a lot, not religious either, but, human brain can't possibly be this faulty... :cry:

Agree. I've had pulsatile tinnitus for 2 years, had a head and neck MRI 2 times, they showed nothing unusual. But I have bad posture, rounded shoulders and forward neck, and slight disc desiccation. Started exercising and correcting my posture by strenghtening my back muscles and deep neck...

It can cause temporary spikes, at least. I know someony who's T got louder after a flight. She has chronic eustachian tube problems and asthma so her sinuses and e tubes are always congested. The pressure changes make her ears hurt badly, dysfunctioning eustachian tubes can't equalize the...

So loud :(

Yep.. That would be a living hell.. T is already a living nightmare... A good example of this is being exposed to loud noises while already suffering from severe tinnitus.. the more damage, the louder it gets.. so it's simple math that with zero auditory input the loudness would be pretty much...

Usually deafness doesn't protect from tinnitus. Many deaf people have tinnitus too. And there are some unfortunate people who have requested that doctors make them deaf and some have even got their auditory nerve cut.. and the tinnitus remained and without any external sounds their t was the...

I agree with this! Your tinnitus might not be caused by ETD alone, but it can make it louder. I have the opposite problem with my eustachian tubes, they are stuck in an open position (muscle problems and fat atrophy in my case). I can hear my own breathing in my ears, and every time I breathe my...

Today my T is so loud... I was really starting to hope I would get to hear silence again, that my T would go away for good... Those few minutes of silence seem to have made things even worse because now my anxiety and sadness is unbearable :(

About electromagnetic fields/energy... Some people get permanent tinnitus after having an MRI.. I know those things are quite loud, but I'm pretty damn sure that noise exposure alone isn't enough to explain this.. and the ears are always protected... My T got so much worse after an MRI and they...

I don't understand this at all! I've had constant high pitch unbearable tinnitus for 72 days... For the first time, it was gone for a few minutes! I was lying on the couch, trying to take a nap, and suddenly I was able to hear the clock ticking, something I haven't heard since the onset of my...

Agree :(

Sounds like a vascular problem. I have terribly low blood pressure when lying down, 70/40, some kind of autonomic nervous dystem dysfunction and when that happens by heart has to compensate by elevating my heart rate, a lot... And that increases my tinnitus. Heart rate, blood pressure, physical...

Same here! The tea kettle sound is in my right ear only, though

Mine gets worse if I close my eyes tightly! This https://www.scienceabc.com/humans/tensor-tympani-muscle-why-does-closing-the-eyes-tightly-produce-a-rumbling-sound-in-the-ears.html

The test used to detect the location of the hearing loss by placing a tuning fork on the patients head and asking in which ear they hear the sound louder. It should be heard equally in both sides. I have hyperacusis so even the sound of the tuning fork hurt...

Oh no!! Before I got tinnitus, I had been using nasal steroids for several months, and my ears had started to hurt and my I heard my breath and heartbeat unusually louder in my ears.. I even took Prednisone, and antihistamines. Soon after that I got ear myoclonus... I have worsened my...

@dpdx Pure tone audiogram and Weber tests

@Greg Sacramento Nose breathing feels uncomfortable, makes me a bit dizzy. I'm aware of my breathing all the time because of this condition, I can hear every breath and feel the air moving up the eustachian tubes :( How does vitamin A help?

@dpdx Unfortunately not.. the new tone decided to stay for good... That used to be my good ear..

Agree.. Hearing tests can hurt your ears... I've had 2 tests since getting T, and the second test caused a spike along with a new tone (tea kettle sound in right ear)... Listening to those loud beeping sounds while wearing headphones - bad combination.

@Smartone202 Flying can make tinnitus worse. The pressure changes are bad for damaged ears, and tinnitus always means some kind of ear damage. And airplanes are quite loud, cabin noise levels can easily be over 85 decibels.

My tinnitus got totally out of hand when I was taking Prednisone (no tapering + high dose), took a week to return to baseline.

@Red So I'm not the only one who gets pain from coffee makers.. :( I used to love coffee. Gotta wear ear plugs even when making coffee, taking a shower, etc...

My tinnitus started 2 hours after taking Mirtazapine.. not always so safe!!

Tinnitus suddenly lower - can't trust this - usually comes back with a vengeance!

@Greg Sacramento I have quite bad GI motility disorders (C.diff infection and aggressive Vancomysin treatment a few years ago messed up my GI tract - and possibly ears!! - for good), so gaining weight is very difficult (I'm slightly underweight and my muscles are very weak)... :(

So many sleepless nights >.<

@Greg Sacramento If only my jaw nerves were affected, would it be possible that once they are fully healed, and if I can get my patulous eustachian tubes fixed, my ear myoclonus would be cured? I have noticed that the ear muscles are worse after eating... And talking...

Don't be sad! We all know how bad loud T can be! Mine is so loud I can't mask it at all. Got a bad spike on Sunday. But I'm not giving up. It will get better. It will fade, just try not to pay too much attention to it! Protect you ears, eat healthy foods, get alot of rest.

@Mellow7 I was like that too! Thinking I would't get tinnitus... My brothers both party a lot and go to music festivals several times a year, work in noisy environments, and so on. What the heck, really! This just proves how unpredictable tinnitus is! People who never party or avoid noisy...

Wait, facial nerve damage? I have bass like tinnitus and severe ear myoclonus, I know those muscles are innervated by facial nerve, but... I had some jaw nerve damage (paralyzis) before... Can that cause permanent dysfunction? I mean, can't the nerve pathways fully regain their previous state...

Woah!! I've had them twice too! I used to get ear infections all the time... Those things can ruin your life.. I still have severe ear pressure and patulous eustachian tubes, etc. My ENT said they can make tinnitus worse!! I'm sure my tinnitus was inevitable, because of my past... My ears were...

@Wolfears I know normally the ears can kind of protect themself from shouting by tightening the ear muscles etc but I have severe ear myoclonus so I'm afraid my ear muscles don't do their job.. they just spasm randomly and cause hyperacusis... And patulous eustachian tubes make the sound...

I had to shout yesterday, for quite a while... Since then my ears have been in pain and my eustachian tubes hurt. I have patulous eustachian tubes and even talking hurts and my voice sounds awfully loud... What damage did I do by raising my voice so much.. should I get Prednisone or...

Severe T + H.. And PET making this unbearable. Hearing my own heartbeat and breathing in my ears is just too much to handle. Own voice hurts

I know how you feel. I'm struggling too, a lot. My ear myoclonus is so severe today. :( Don't give up!!!!

@Vicki14 Sorry to hear your tinnitus is so loud. I also have hyperacusis. Tinnitus and hyperacusis are a bad combination. Stay strong :huganimation:

The same thing happened to me... It was a month ago, back then I didn't know enough about tinnitus and made huge mistakes... I told them I have tinnitus and asked if it was safe to perform microsuction. I was told it doesn't affect T. Such a terrible lie! Can't trust ENTs and audiologists!

That's what I thought too. I know an audiologist who has tinnitus and it started after a long flight...

Oh, and one more thing! The interior of a plane is quite loud (80-95 decibels), depending on the flight. How long was your flight, no hearing protection? Those decibels + ear pressure changes can cause some damage... Not saying it will be permanent, but you should let your ears rest!!!, Avoid...

If your tinnitus started after a flight, your ears might have suffered some kind of ear trauma caused by air pressure changes. Did you have ear pain and pressure/fullness during the flight?

We are totally not overreacting...! Living with tinnitus can be a horrible nightmare and endless torture. Bad decisions and noise exposure can further complicate it. I'm a good example of making "stupid" mistakes, getting exposed to loud sounds while suffering from tinnitus. My T started over 2...

I agree with RoeTaKa, might be some kind of hyperacusis towards low frequency sounds. And possibly some kind of vascular cause. Like I said, I also hear a basslike thumping, and am not sure if it's caused by my patulous eustachian tubes or ear spasms, can't really pinpoint the source.. I do...

And another thing. I just figured out a weird trick to easen my own, abit similar symptoms... If I wear earplugs, the bass like sound stays the same but the vibrations ease a little! With ear myoclonus and hyperacusis, ear muscles become hypersensitive and overreact to sounds, causinh...

Are you sure you don't have pulsatile tinnitus? Is the sound synchonous with your heartbeat?

@Brett_angel Don't give up! I have the same problem! I know this sound is worse than "normal" T, but I'm sure it will get better! I have noticed mine gets a lot worse if I panick or cry. And stress is bad. That vibrating is probably the stapedius mucle. While typing this, my right ear is...

Help, anyone?

I'm in the same boat :( way too loud! Stay strong! We can overcome this!! :huganimation:

I have patulous eustachian tubes and they make my tinnitus unbearable. I constantly hear my own breath and heartbeat in my ears and PET also worsens my ear myoclonus... I contacted my ENT and I'll see him in 5-6 weeks and we'll discuss more about possible treatments for my eustachian tubes (fat...

My hearing is "normal", but even my ENT said I have hidden high frequency hearing loss, so I hear a constant high pitched T... And my grandpa, who is a 93 years old war veteran, never got tinnitus... not even for a few seconds...
