    Sizzling/Hissing Noise in Head

    I would be interested to know if anyone can report whether the hissing noise has disappeared again? In my case, it appeared after a middle ear infection, which was 6 weeks ago. The hissing is not always equally loud, it is usually more intense in the evening. As was suggested, I use menthol...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I've had some interesting experiences... I was diagnosed with a middle ear infection last week. The humming promptly completely disappeared, for a little over a week. Due to the infection I then had a high-pitched tinnitus, so not much better. Now that the inflammation is subsiding, the humming...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I also find that lying down always brings back the low-frequency tinnitus. Even though my hum-free days unfortunately occur less and less frequently, I always notice that the quiet phases occur during the day and the humming then returns overnight. As soon as I get up, it gradually disappears...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Interestingly, I have also heard that medication for high blood pressure should help with the Hum. It would be very interesting to know what the connection is here. I keep observing that things that give me some relief for a while, meaning really noticeably improve the humming, suddenly just...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I just find it strange that we all have more or less the same symptoms and yet there doesn't seem to be a doctor in this world who can explain our particular form of tinnitus. Not even close.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I have the same symptoms as most here. It has been a constant back and forth over the last few years: Sometimes it was quiet for days or even for several weeks, but then I had phases where it was constantly there day and night. Unfortunately, I have noticed that over the years there are fewer...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I've been using the position @Ben Winders described above for some time now, and it actually helps me fall asleep reasonably peacefully. @Moby, both of the circumstances you described actually applied to me: A very deeply rooted wisdom tooth (on the top of the affected ear) and a crooked nasal...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I've also made a few observations in the last few weeks that I'd like to share (though I'm afraid there's no more active sharing here). So neither a special jaw therapy, nor a mouth guard have helped me, not even a little bit. I also tried Betahistine, also without success. Already a bit...

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

    I continue to be unsure whether or not I'm clenching my teeth at night or not. Nevertheless, I had personalized mouth guards made based on my dental impressions, i.e. "simple" mouth guards in different degrees of hardness, which are used in the upper jaw and are intended exclusively to protect...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Thank you for sharing. It's interesting to see how experiences sometimes differ so much. What helps some people does nothing at all for others. I've recently bought a sleep aid with different fan sounds, which is a real blessing! I highly recommend it.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Does anyone have experience with the active ingredient Betahistine? Apparently it is prescribed for signs of Meniere's disease. High-pitched tinnitus doesn't necessarily seem to respond to it, but in another group someone was able to control his low-pitched tinnitus by taking Betahistine.

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

    @GDK I find your approach to explaining the humming very interesting and after trying countless other therapies I will also see a dentist. I would be interested to know if the dentist was able to determine that you grind your teeth by looking at the wear and tear on your teeth? Or how did he...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I recently heard a second success story related to a mouth guard. I find this an interesting approach that I will follow up next year. Visiting an orthodontist costs half a fortune where I live, so I need to plan this well.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Hello everyone I am so glad to have found an active thread on the hum! On the german forums, the majority have given up and the threads are inactive. I have been suffering from low frequency humming for over 7 years - my symptoms are pretty much the same as Ben's. I have tried about...
