Hey, how have you been? I have severe tinnitus and it definitely is hard to mask it with anything. How is yours after this 2 year old comment? Would love to know. All the best to you. Blessings.
Mine is all the time... And very VERY LOUD ! AROUND 8600 HZ. Also the roaring... part of spinning... And deafness... Menieres disease... And yes I do got a strange seriously intense range of hearing sounds. But I also got high tone deafness... Left ear.
Since 16 i've had a pretty severe ringing in my left ear. I believe it happened when I was outside my backyard shooting a 16 gauge shotgun. My hyperacusis slowly got worse and it's to the point where there's distortion when people talk. I'm now 23 years old. I'm worried of further damaging my left ear to where the slightest sounds cause this sensitivity. I'm writing today to see if anyone has some better insight on what more to do. I saw 2 specialists, the first; saying sorry this happened to you but there's nothing we can do. The second; saying the left ear popping everytime you swallow will slowly alleviate the pressure/trauma and it should heal with time. Do you guys have an idea of what my left ear popping nearly every time I swallow is? I always believed it to be him just trying to give me hope. Lately, i've been hearing this ticking/pulsating sound in my left ear. It seemed like my hyperacusis was only getting worse from it. My ear would feel numb or itchy as well. Another symptom i've noticed is a heartbeat like sound in just my left ear. It tends to cause earaches or headaches, weirdest thing. Obviously stress and drinking can play a huge factor in this as well. I tend to binge drink quite often and this causes my trauma to seem to flare up incrementally for a while. I recently purchased air pod pros to be able to play pink noise and utilize transparency mode in order to aid the hyperacusis. I've read posts where they say pink noise for a couple years each day will slowly act like a rehab for your ear. This does seem to help so far while playing pink noise and listening to outside noise. I've only been doing this for maybe 2 weeks. Do you guys find that pink noise was the best option? If so, how loud and what app do you prefer? Does anyone know of an app where you can play pink noise as well as listen to music or a podcast at the same time? Do you know of some ground breaking hearing aid that's unrecognizable that would help in public/busy areas? I was thinking some device that would reduce the noise input coming into your ear and producing a cleaner/lesser output back into the ear. The ringing in my ear is bearable but the hyperacusis is the hardest part. I tend to avoid loud areas as much as possible but sometimes you can't escape it. You do have to live a little and socialize right? I also play hockey and it's super loud in the rink. Or is it not worth the chance of having it get even worse? Because i cannot even imagine how life would be. Is there some hope in all of this? Paul Stamets has some interesting research with mushrooms/neurogenesis and what not. I do see posts shedding more light on this unfortunate reality which is motivating. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Fired 2 shots of 40 s&w indoors in self defense, iv had a high pitch tone in my left ear , all the doctors visits have been useless they all end the same way they can't do anything and its permanent they say , but look into OTO-313 its my only hope fingers crossed we can get our hands on it brother
Stay positive guys we live in a time where scientists are hugely focused on this field and with over 400 million people suffering with hearing loss rising to 900 million by 2030. Noise induced hearing loss (SNHL) being the second most common cause of hearing loss and also the most common cause of tinnitus normally high frequency which all gunshot are particularly 4000hz means. Scientists are working on possible cures on hearing loss and mainly to type of loss you both and I suffer from. For me at 30 it’s my left ear with moderate to serve hearing loss in 3000-5000hz frequency with tinnitus. I’ve only just started my journey and it’s be hell in truth however I believe like I said that we’re lucky enough that to be living in a time where not only is it possible do the research it’s probably going to happen God willing sooner rather than later. Till then accepting and forgiveness is first step. Habituation really works for me as in not fearing it and trying to ignore it even if it is loud masking can still work and being good to yourself. Give yourself a silver lining be hopeful of a future where there is a cure for us all till then use all the tool you can they are out there. Hearing aids , meditation, exercise, masking sounds, therapy. magnesium and turmeric powder helps me relax and also looking forward to the future knowing we are in the technology age and hearing loss is becoming a pandemic. I believe we all could possibly be given a second chance and have alot of our mistakes hearing wise wiped away. Hope this helps stay positive where in this together.
So I am having a dull roar in my left ear. Sometime it is a ringing noise. My hearing has gone way down in that ear in less than a month I also have the rotary Vertigo which has made me really nausea and have Vomited profusely because of it.
Colin Ellenden tinnitus is the result of sensorinueral hearing loss which is on the brain. tinnitus is from damage from inner ear trauma barotrauma. tinnitus is high frequncy hearing loss.
But that doesn't explain how some people like my dad for example, who had very serious hearing loss caused by working in a loud environment for years, had no tinnitus. I asked him.
Hi Colin, tinnitus is such a complex phenomena and there is no simple single cause. People with hearing loss can experience tinnitus in its most simple form, being a perceived sound without external stimulus. More recent studies suggest tinnitus is more of a neurophysiological problem that is similar to anxiety in that it feeds back onto itself. The limbic and autonomic nervous system is largely involved, eventually conditioning itself to activate without conscious cognitive involvement. So to answer your question, if a person has hearing loss but the brain does not recognise the tinnitus as a threat, the limbic and nervous system will not respond, so the tinnitus is not noticed consciously. It is too complex to explain properly on a TH-cam comment, I encourage you to read into the neurophysiological model of tinnitus.
@Tom Jones Tom, that’s the problem. Researching the research. There is nothing new in the past 20 years or more. All you will see is copying, repeating of people’s research that does not have a final answer. When you see this repeatedly, you can’t help but not see through it instantly. Also, if you are not in the medical profession, you absolutely have no chance to present your findings. So when I get the time, I’ll reveal my solutions. But I’m not giving it away for free.
This guy is a master at explaining tinnitus. Wish there were more like him.
Wish I had half of this guy's oratory skills

So I am having a dull roar in my left ear. Sometime it is a ringing noise. My hearing has gone way down in that ear in less than a month
I also have the rotary Vertigo which has made me really nausea and have Vomited profusely because of it.
dude get on steroids and diuretics pronto.
Superb.
Fixed it - arch Angel Gabrial
How about Low intensity laser?
What is the cause of tinnitus with headache
So what about people with hearing loss that don't have tinnitus? Explain this please...

extreme forces cause it. like a blast force. wave

I wonder if you would think it was just annoying if you had it
I have had tinnitus for 3 years. Sometimes it gets difficult when I am tense or anxious. Fortunately I believe in Jesus is getting better.

People commenting here. Don’t worry, soon there will be a cure. I’m being 100% honest. Watch this space.
A cure ? Where is it??
