It's funny that my stupid ears are trying very hard to make me commit suicide. Every time I habituate to a sound, a new sound appears in my ears. Recently a motor sound with a physical vibration sensation was added to the mix in my left ear, again for no apparent reason. I already had...

Do you have hearing loss? If so, at which frequencies?

Does anyone experience worsening of the sound distortions after overprotecting? I hear crickets, birds chirping, and sometimes intermittent beeps over white noise-like sounds. I feel like these distortions become more conspicuous after wearing earmuffs for a few hours. Anyone else?

Does anyone else have low-frequency tinnitus that is not extremely low-pitched like a vibrating motor, but is in the 150 Hz to 350 Hz range, like the sound of a vacuum cleaner for example? In my left ear, where I have mild ETD (random popping and crackling since 8 months), I hear a low-pitched...

The acoustic reflexes in your ears were probably triggered and protected your hearing for a few seconds. They have a slight delay in the order of 0.05 seconds, which shouldn't be a problem for a 95 dB sound.

People say this because that's what they experience. In my case I wore earmuffs every time I went to outside. I even wore them at home to listen to my tinnitus and to get used to it quicker. And guess what, over every white-noise alike sound, I started hearing crickets, intermittent beeps (sound...

In my case chewing makes the hum very loud for a few minutes and then it goes back to its baseline. I started chewing gum regularly because of my ETD and discovered this. Other than sometimes, especially when I am active throughout the day, the hum disappears completely (I check it by wearing...

4 months in and nothing has changed positively. A few days ago an annoying cicada/cricket sound was added to the mix which is also reactive. I am not sure but probably inhaling acetone caused this new sound. As it started one day after working with it for 30-40 minutes. I still can't understand...

Were you still a university student when this started? If so, how did you cope with it? I am studying math at university and I am cursed with tinnitus during my studies and I feel like it is simply over. It is impossible to concentrate on anything with this sound in my head.

I am also having this for the past three months. I have ETD only in my left ear where I also hear moderate humming. But my right ear is clean. However, I hear ringing and hissing in both ears. I think this asymmetry between the right and left ear is causing the diplacusis in my case. Before I...

This tinnitus type may be the worst. It's definitely comparable to ultra-high pitched screeching (> 8 kHz). I have a 2 kHz ringing that thankfully dominates this 100-150 Hz hum so I can focus on the ringing and relax a bit. But some days, the ringing gets quieter thus the humming is more...

My tinnitus started after 5 days of Paroxetine 10 mg and it is still going on 3 months later and I guess it's too late for it to heal anymore. It is very annoying that people who blast music into their ears don't get tinnitus in short term but we get that nightmare just by using these sh**ty...

Hello @Matthew231, Thank you for your reply. I didn't hear any noise when chewing etc. My hearing is just as good as it was before the tinnitus, apart from the sound distortions I am experiencing after this spike. When my tinnitus started, I had extreme pressure feeling in both ears with...

Same here. The Acoustic Reflex Test completely knocked me out. I was doing very well before it. It gave me morse type reactive tinnitus and pushed my existing tinnitus from faint to severe. God curse that doctor for destroying my life and leading to my suicide.

Hello, Very often I have pressure feeling in my ears and I can reduce that pressure with cracking and popping noises. I went to an ENT and he found out that I have an enlarged adenoid and a cyst deep in my nose which in the ENT's opinion blocks my Eustachian tubes and causes pressure feeling...
