    A New Tinnitus Sound Has Become 'Reactive'

    Hi, sorry for the late reply, I haven't been online in a while. But to answer your question, yes, my tinnitus is very much constant, and very loud, almost impossible to mask even, but I suppose I'm dealing with it relatively okay.

    Tinnitus Much Louder After MRI

    They had a pretty bad pair of earplugs, but they gave me a pair of muffs over them, which I assumed would be enough to prevent my T from getting louder but it clearly wasn't. It helped a little though, but not enough.

    Yeah, its been mostly the same for the last 2 days now, hopefully it subsides through time.

    Tinnitus Much Louder After MRI

    Title basically explains what happened, I went to get an MRI a few days ago, I spent about 40 minutes in the cramped machine, it was extremely loud, even with hearing protection. My tinnitus has been MUCH louder ever since that MRI, the results just came in and say that my brain is completely...

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    Yeah, I had it pretty bad for the first few weeks, it went away for a few months, but it seem to come back worse than ever, hope it goes away soon.

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    That sounds exactly like what I've had for a while, the sound of whistles overlaying the vast majority of white noise I try. Also, I'm not exactly sure how my tinnitus appeared, I really don't know, it could be from noise, stress, TMJ, I really have no idea though sadly.

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    Still there, fans and certain sounds still sound like strange distorted whistling to me, and my T has spiked up a bunch this past 10 days. I hope you're doing better though.

    My Tinnitus Is Getting Louder Every Day

    Now that you've mentioned it, I did use headphones quite a lot before my T started, I did used to listen to loud music very frequently so that likely has a big role in it, thanks for the response.

    My Tinnitus Is Getting Louder Every Day

    It's possible it could be noise induced, but there really wasn't any specific sound that really triggered it, one day I noticed my hearing being a bit unbalanced on one side and a few days later they just started ringing. Thank you for the response, I'll look into those links, I greatly...

    My Tinnitus Is Getting Louder Every Day

    I've had tinnitus for about 5 months, it was fairly loud but consistent and I got used to it for the first 3 and a half months, but then it started to get louder and louder after I got hyperacusis in late May. Earlier today my tinnitus was so loud my ears were physically burning from the extreme...

    Hissing Tone/Static Noise?

    Wow, I go through something similar but probably not that severe. I also have hyperacusis so I know what that's like to live with, I really hope you find relief soon. Best of wishes.

    Hissing Tone/Static Noise?

    Sorta, it's more like high pitch loud hissing that leaves a very faint sizzle feeling, but it's probably the worst of the sounds I hear.

    Hissing Tone/Static Noise?

    Hi, I've had tinnitus for about 5 months, but I keep getting new symptoms and sounds with my tinnitus. Now I seem to have some strange static like "hissing". I can hear it and feel it 24/7, no white noise masks it, and I can physically feel it. It's somewhat like a faint 'sizzle'. I've had...

    Getting Extra Ringing Sound with Other Sounds? Tinnitus or Hyperacusis or What?

    I know this is a very old thread but I have the exact same symptoms, added high pitch ringing that plays over real sounds, for instance, my fan is running and I hear some weird fluttering whistle like sound playing over it, this only goes away when no sound is present and I'm in total silence...

    A New Tinnitus Sound Has Become 'Reactive'

    I have the same thing, whenever my fan is on, a fridge, the TV, or even rain, I hear some strange whistle playing over it, this sound will only go away when I'm in complete silence or the trigger sound stops. It keeps playing a strange fluttering high pitch whistle sound over anything that...

    Strange Reactive Flares/Whistling in Ear

    I have this, it actively plays a new whistle like tone with sound, for example, if my fan is on I hear some strange whistle like sound fluttering with the sound of my fan and only stops as soon as soon as the fan stops or if I am in complete silence...

    Tinnitus Flared Up — Appears to Be Reactive to External Noises

    I have this too, whenever there's any white noise present that would normally mask the tinnitus, I hear an added ring to it, it only goes away in total silence... The fridge, sounds on the TV, my fan, wind, rain, all of it triggers this strange new tone that actively flutters with the sound...

    New Reactive Whistling Tinnitus Sound — Will It Go Away?

    I have something very similar, whenever my fan is on I hear a high pitch whistle like sound fluttering with the fan noise. This also occurs with wind, rain, high pitch noise from the TV, and just about any sound that used to mask tinnitus. It's like my tinnitus is creating noise over real...

    Tinnitus That Overlays Other Sounds?

    I know this thread is very old, and if I'm breaking any rules I apologize, but I have this exact same thing, almost every single sound I use to mask tinnitus is being overlaid with a new tone, that goes away as soon as the sound stops. For example, whenever I'm near a fan I hear a new high pitch...

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    Yeah, sometimes I hear a fake microwave timer going off in my head, I seem to get some sound hallucinations too. Really weird stuff.

    Strange Hearing Distortion/Dysacusis?

    Hi, I'm new here, I've had tinnitus for almost 5 months as of writing this, and I mostly got used to it. However just recently I noticed something odd, my tinnitus seems to overlay certain frequencies with a beep. For example, some sounds on the TV/radio are just overlaid with this strange beep...
