    Still around. I don't notice it as much as before but I know it is there. Took a while for me to feel better when it's around, habituation I think is possible even for low frequency tinnitus. They do seem to come and go and it is possible for you you'll get some silence again. Having music and...

    Hearing a Low Drone/Car Idling/Lightsaber, You Name It

    I'd say that it comes and goes. I don't have it every day but it's around more often than not. It still fluctuates in loudness but I don't get the lightsaber sound anymore, it's mostly now a constant 130-140 Hz wave. It still feels like something vibrates inside the ear but I think it's the...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    If my Eustachian tubes are acting up and the pressure is uneven, I'd hear my buzz louder because my ears aren't hearing as well but swallowing (or any other way of opening Eustachian tubes up) would correct pressure and the ear drum would then work normally which would bring the buzz back to...

    Shaking Head Temporarily Stops My Low-Frequency Tinnitus

    Sometimes I have a feeling it's some sort of amplification to some sound that the other ear "cannot" hear. I feel I hear low frequency sound louder in the bad ear. The weird thing is this can go into remission for many months only to come back for no apparent reason. After 2.5 years of this...

    Let's Get to the Bottom of This Humming!

    I'd also be curious to hear more about people's experiences. There are a bunch of people here suffering from humming and it seems like we can't figure out what it is. Here's my short experience with it: - Got it since 2020 in my right ear, I got badly sick (perhaps COVID-19) and it developed...

    Low Drone Tinnitus Does Not Need Much to Shut Down Completely

    Does anyone know if taking the plane has a positive or negative impact on this sort of tinnitus? From my experience on my worse days, exposing my ear to a good amount of sound such as staying outside quite a bit or driving somewhere seems to be helping a bit so I was curious about the plane...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Obviously I'm no expert but my take on this is to live as normal as possible with this condition. The body tends to be able to adapt and/or heal. I'm not saying I've stopped exploring ways of improving my quality of life but I feel like if we constraint how we live to try and let them heal but...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Yeah I'm also fortunate I can't hear it outside or anywhere with some background noise. I still need some sound to sleep with otherwise it distracts me too much but hopefully that'll get better over time. Clenching my jaw stops it for 2-3 seconds every time. Perhaps by doing so, I'm tensing some...

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    I think it'd be helpful to understand what it is actually. Perhaps if we keep sharing information on this we'll make some progress understanding. I can't settle for it just being tinnitus, why would it stop for weeks at the time sometimes only to come back for no reason. I'm clueless.

    Low Pitch Ringing/Hum Went Away After Using a Mouth Guard and Regular Jaw Massage

    Yeah. I'd say for me 80% of the time it's some rhythmic "vwoom vwoom" like a lightsaber and sometimes 20% of the time it's going to get constant and I agree that constant is easier to ignore. For some reason most of the morning up until noon ish I'm going to get actual real silence and it's...

    Hearing a Low Drone/Car Idling/Lightsaber, You Name It

    Yeah I'm not entirely sure but it does feel physical which gives me a little hope as to whether we can find a way to fix or at least reduce in intensity. I've tried going to the physio for my neck and he did mention my sternocleidomastoid was much more tense on the side of my bad ear and he...

    Hearing a Low Drone/Car Idling/Lightsaber, You Name It

    I think the one I use the most is constant background sounds, whether it's podcast, audiobook, music. It doesn't have to be loud at all for that to help me. I know you're supposed to always set the sound just right below your tinnitus to affect the habituation mechanism but sometimes it requires...

    Hearing a Low Drone/Car Idling/Lightsaber, You Name It

    Hello everyone, I'm also a fellow low humming/drone or whatever we call it these days sufferer and I've also been lurking over this forum for a while now. My symptoms are very similar to a lot of people with low frequency tinnitus as in I can somewhat modulate its intensity with jaw and neck...
