I might have one of the most complicated tinnitus cases of anyone I’ve read about. In my case I went from 100% normal to bilateral tinnitus in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. I had been using a nitro cream for a colorectal issue that was causing massive headaches but turning the...

Hey guys. Sorry for the late reply. Great to hear from you Joe, we exchanged early on and here we are! Well I had a crash on my mountain bike (I race(d) enduro) in early March and woke up a day after the crash with weakness in my left arm/hand. I’d had a mild whiplash during the crash but...

Kathryn - I have been diagnosed with a left sided 4th ventricle tumor while working up My tinnitus. I’m 39 and will have had tinnitus for about a year at the end of the month. I am debating surgery for my lesion to get a diagnosis with ependymoma, subependymoma and CP papilloma being too...

Even with a tumor involved, my tinnitus was effectively gone for a whole day yesterday but back this morning right on schedule!

As soon as I discovered a brain tumor was a likely factor in my tinnitus, I’m afraid I’ve let hope go... and yet... I’m hopeful because what else have we got?

In my case, after 10 months of mystery and being told I didn’t need an MRI by two ENTs because my hearing was normal, doing TRT to no avail and letting a TMJ doctor mess with my jaw, I finally did the MRI and we found a CPA tumor which we can assume is the most likely cause. I’m only 39. Take...

For those of you who have read my introduction post, I felt it was VITAL that I update you on my findings. I have been down an incredibly complex road with my sudden onset tinnitus I would describe as miserable with no improvement in the 9 months since onset. I initially suspected a topical...

Fantastic news!

Michael, What was it that constituted a second ‘acoustic trauma’? I know most people report acoustic trauma as cause for their tinnitus but unless they were exposed to an explosion or work in a night club (chronic source), I’m curious what caused it for this group. I’m a frustrating, maybe...

Did yours feel like it had a central/“brain” component? Flux tones? I’m 38 years old and run a business as well and doing it all to get past this- dreaming of an outcome like yours- cheers to you Jason.

The mostly likely culprit being a medication though one not reported to cause any auditory risks from my extensive research though I assume possible. I too run a business and have pushed through with work while suffering and working to get better.

Jason- you sound a lot like me. I was hit like a freight train by tinnitus- my cause unfortunately is much less clear as it a frustrating case of ‘waking up with it randomly’.

Take a good read. Our condition is largely a head game for which I truly believe we have more control than we realize. Another scientific article supporting resolution after longer periods of time is possible. Our brains are amazing, let it do the work. Resolution is possible: Tinnitus...

Let’s add - for those who had an MRI and a cause was found - in whose case did that result in a procedure that ultimately resolved the tinnitus vs. it was just an academic affair.

Joe - how did you discover your hearing loss? Did you discover it before the tinnitus started? I never gave ears or hearing health a second thought before this all happened. Good ears and happy hearing was just a given - that’s the most upsetting part for sure.

Yes, mine is somatic which I have read has variable meaning. I can modulate it with looking up and specifically to the left (full turn to the left) but interestingly not to the right. I assume this has something to do with transient occlusion/turbulence in carotid blood flow perhaps more so than...

I have officially lurked here for 5 months and decided it was time to share my story and seek input from the community. I am 38, would describe myself as fit and healthy but was unfortunate enough to wake up randomly on July 29th in the middle of the night to ringing in ears. Despite my...

Keep going!
