So sorry to hear that. Maybe it might be good to get everything out in the open with your husband? Have a heart to heart about what and how you feel? Maybe you're both in different places in life and just aren't understanding one another. You're in a difficult place and I wish you well. I've got...

Please share your experience after your ENT visit. I got one scheduled for April 3rd. I have what I can best describe as hearing the washer/dryer on high spin cycle next door or it feels like I am hearing a really really fast vibrational noise (not a physical sensation, just a fast vibrational...

Best thing to do is try and find ways to distract yourself and your mind or exercise. Wish you well!

If it's ET, it can be tricky and can take time to get it cleared up. Good luck.

Hi. I am having the same experience, but in my left ear. My T sounds like a really high pitch EEE in both ears and about a month ago, I started hearing this low rumble sound as well. At first it wasn't too bad then it got really louder to the point thathat I really believed that I had my...

Good luck with your exams. We're all allowed to have bad days. It's the nature of this curse. BUT you do have to allow yourself to bounce back and realize that you are in control of your life and not T controlling you. Easier said than done especially during the bad days...

It's a hard call. I would love to say that I would rather get rid of my T than win the lottery, but with my financial situation, having that type of money would serve me and my family much better than helping myself.

Jaybeee---hang in there. It's the hardest thing I've had to deal with in my entire life. I'm going on 6 years and the first few months-year were the worst for me. But in time, I've learn to deal with it, even though there are many bumps/lows on this T-road. Mine is loud---can't tell you how...

Hi. My father in law has tinnitus (served in Navy) and he's 66 now and he has it bad---BUT he has habituated to it and doesn't let it affect his life. So, not all tinnitus affects everyone the same way. I would suggest, like everyone has, protecting your ears when you can, and just live for each...

Summ---that's a shame your doc would come to that conclusion without a battery of tests. That's why I do not like ENTs, we'll, some of them at least who don't run tests but instead assume that's what you have. I've had this hum/rumble since winter but I don't bother going to an ENT. I've just...

Summ---I would certainly go see an ENT, especially if you're having vertigo. It could be something simple or it could be something else, but it's better to be safe when dealing with vertigo.

I'm sure it's different for everyone so there is no black or white answer to this question since we all experience different forms of T. I know people who have said it's gotten worse, and I know someone--my father in law, who says his didn't, and he's very hard of hearing (almost 70). All I know...

Hans---thanks for that article. Although it says ear plugs did not decrease it, it does sound like what I am hearing. I wish there was some way to tune it out. It seems to be louder than my high pitch noise, but they both work in tandem to drive me crazy....

Along with my high pitch noise, my rhythmic vibrational hum started a few months ago and I think it's here to stay unfortunately.... some systems it doesn't bother me, but other times it gets so louder than my T noise.... it's strange though ----when I cup my ears, the vibrational noise...

I usually try and watch something on TV to help take my mind off of things, especially if the weather is bad and going out isn't an option. Play video games or hang out with friends even if it's just hanging out at home. Good luck and we'll wishes to everyone.

High pitch EEE, along with a vibrational/low base humming sound pounding in my head/ears. It's strange though, cause when I cup my ears, the vibration kind of goes away and I'm left with the high pitch EEE. Not sure what it means though.

I believe stress can be one of the factors that can cause Tinnitus. I think mine was due to it, partially. Mine started during a time when I lost my job and money was tight and we had to find a new place to live with two kids to support.... I couldn't sleep and it was extremely stressful. And...

Same here. I thought I was the only one whose T spiked after a good run or after sex. Thought it was weird.

Hi everyone. I hope that everyone is in a good place at the moment. I understand what everyone is talking about. On top of my loud EEE noise, my vibrational sounds started this past early winter and hasn't stopped since, so I unfortunately assume it's permanent now too. I think it's everyone's...

Hi. Can't imagine what you are going through. My T started about 6 years ago and it's been a Rollercoaster ride. I was in a deep dark place my first year. And things in my life at that point weren't going so well, so stress and anxiety were a big factor. There's no magic cure but you have to...

If you're life is based on attending this event and being with your friends then go. But do remember there are or can be consequences. Personally 3 days of fun for a possible lifetime of regret isn't worth it to me. I love music, but I'll never attend a concert for fear of damaging what's...

I too have the vibration I'm what feels like my ear/head. It's worse at night trying to get some sleep. It feels like the left and right side of my head is pulsing a low vibrational hum. It's harder to mask than my high pitch EEE sounds. I'm tired of it all.

Hi. I've never had any issues with antihistamines. I'm guessing only, but stress can really do a number on our T and it seems you are under some stress lately. I've had mine for about 5 years now and as of late, my high pitch EEE is now being accompanied by a loud vibrational hum. The hum is...

I always thought augmentim was one of those antibiotics that were safe to take and wasn't ototoxic, right?

I too have the same thing with the hum/vibration noise in my ears, along with the loud high pitch EEE noise. At first I thought it was the house, then I thought it was something outside, but it was just me. It's worse than the high pitch EEE cause it's harder to mask. It started out on one ear...

I just wrote about this similar issue with this new noise---a loud, deep humming/vibrational noise in my ear---on my right ear mostly. And this is on top of my high pitch EEE. It does scare me not knowing what it is or why and how long it'll last. I might have to change my white noise sound to...

I have similar issues. Along with my high pitch EEE noise in my ears, I'm hearing a loud vibrational, deep intermittent humming noise as well , mostly in my right ear. It's quite annoying especially since I was trying to habituate to the loud EEE sound already. I'm not sure what brought it on...

Right ear currently feels full and along with a high pitch EEE, there's a vibrating sensation with it too. FML....

Hope you're feeling better and things have returned to baseline... it's one of those nights for me as well...

Hi Jason,how are you? The ups and downs are just part of the beast we call T. Some days are just better than others. At the moment, I am having a bad spike in both ears and can't get back to sleep (I've been asleep for only 2.5 hours this night so far). Sometimes these spikes can last for...

Lots of Hugs and well wishes to you Glynis!!! I've been in and out of this site and I know you have been so kind to me and others. I hope you will find some sort of relief soon.

Hi All. Just wanted to ask whether anyone gets a spike (an increase in their tinnitus---mine has been the usual loud EEE noise and just got louder today) AND then on top of it, a reverberating sound---like a truck is idling outside my house or the sound of an A/C unit humming away... If so...

Thanks everyone. I do feel a lot better now and my T sound has returned to normal. I will add that last night when I woke up, I was drenched in sweat. I don't remember if I had a nightmare or what, but my heart was pounding too. I wonder if that contributed to my spike. My ear is no longer...

Easy to say but you have to try and calm yourself and see if you can find a way to keep yourself mentally and physically busy. I've had series of multiple sounds from high pitch EEE, to what sounds like a truck idling outside my door. Some days it's bad but other days it goes back to baseline...

Woke up last night at about 1am. My left ear was shrieking louder than normal. It freaked me out. Also my inner left ear felt warm inside which I've never experienced before. It feels fine this morning though. If it was an ear infection, wouldn't it still be warm/hot inside my ear or worse? Or...

I enjoy reading these positive stories. Please keep them coming. On difficult days I read these threads to find inspiration and distraction. It helps ease my anxiety. I'm very happy to those who've reach or are close to habituating. Unfortunately I've stopped my dieting and exercising when I...

Camping sounds fun---and when I say camping, I'm talking about cabin with heat and a/c with running hot water. I love the sounds at night especially with a good wind.

Curios--what is a trobalt? But yes, we could all use a mega holiday. Lol

With T, paranoia can be such a huge problem. I used to try and be careful with everything I did and careful with everywhere I went. I still do, but not as much. But I believe the stress and over anxiety has cause most of my spikes rather than from some outside noise. Good luck! I hope things...

Everything that ampumpkin said. Listening to nature sounds---sometimes 3 to 4 sounds together if my T is louder than usual. Watching TV with close caption helps my mind focus on the show. Sleep is a big one---all of the above helps me sleep. :) Good luck everyone.

Hi Abe and everyone else I've had To for the past 3 plus years. My left ear used to be worse than my right bit just recently, my right ear seems to have caught up with my left ear as far as pitch and intensity goes. I even get that wobbly/dryer on very fast spin cycle sound on top of it too...

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm not quite sure how I got my T. I really just woke up one morning and I started hearing a high pitch noise on and off.... Eventually it became 24/7. I have no history of recurring constant ear infections, no exposure to loud music--- no concerts, clubs or loud...

Reeta----Hi, how are you? I'm in a similar situation. I'm 37 and I've had my T for about 4 months now. Currently seeing a chiropractor who thinks he can help my T because of subluximation? (sp?) So far, I'm not sure it's helping, but I'm willing to give it a try since it's covered by my...

Thanks Echoes01. I normally only use one earbud on my right ear because I have the humidifier on my left side of the bed. :) but I do switch it from time to time since the high pitch of my T switches from ear to ear. Mostly I use them because my wife is a light sleeper, but she said if it's...

Hi Peter---good to see you here too! Still on a high pitch today, but I think it's starting to back down. I wonder if it was from the low pressure system we've had the past few days with rain/sleet/snow. How are things with you Peter? Jazz---thank you! I've been writing on and off what I've been...

Hi all, how are you? I am new here. 4 months into it and I have a question. I use my ipod/iphone at night and listen to crickets, or ocean waves or even soft piano music. I use the ear buds that came with the ipod/iphone, BUT I only have the volume maxed out at 2 clicks up on the volume and...

My T is flaring the past few nights... Hoping and praying it calms down...

Hi everyone, how are you? I've only had this for about 4 months, but it feels like forever. The first month of this was hell--- cried, prayed, googled everything, and I was sad to the point of depression. With the help of family and friends, I'm somewhat accepted the fact that this may be for...
