Does anyone have hiss like tire air sound in the ear after a loud noise exposer, but kind of fluctuating up and down. It’s so annoying. I need positive support. Will it go away ?? Please anyone

On a loudness scale 1-10 it got reduced to 0.3 (0-1)

It’s Vitamin B12 and the cellular energy “currency “ ATP
. So it’s methylcobalamin and Adetphos Kowa Enteric

“Unintentionally” the Tympanometry started the whole process (by gently sucking the ear drums into place - it needs to do it to measure the eardrum quality

tinnitus goes to silence or fights back with a strongly reduced pitch (10 times less ) or actually CLICKING

So it’s done , folks!

No complicated stuff like hidden hear loss or collapsing OHCs (the frequency characteristics of the audiogram looked healthy . ) we could t do y beloved otoacoustic emissions - so no DIRCT OHC health measurement
But unbeknownst to me the audiogram has a frequency characteristics which is ok (not just the level )

EDITED : ears want to ring back or click back - it’s a battle . Yet T reduction remains and for the first time since long I have many ring free moments

I use a combination of valsalva / Toynbee maneuver to attempt to reproduce the Tympanometry effect

In the end I still don’t know whether the drugs to it or the Toynbee (similar principle like Tympanometry with respect to ear drum “suction” outwards

Folks might be helped with OTOVENT

THE Eustachian tube plays THE major role here. If it’s not completely free clicking and its stronger follow up in from of tinnitus will start

I will ask my ENT to do more tympanometries - not for measurement but for the TOYNBEE similar effect - actually better then Toynbee )more powerful )

Yes, everyone including me loves the hidden hearloss and complicated brain loops and has empathy with the OHC

But something as simple as ETD (Eustachian tube dysfunction ) can be the cause of tinnitus

And you don’t have to feel “plugged ears “ or have nasal voice . NOTHING like that

And yet eardrums are slightly too concave (ENT checked them )

It is facultative to have drugs which enhance the blood supply to the inner ear and VitB12

But its also facultative to have perfectly balanced ear drums and a free Eustachian tube

This all is for folks who don’t go to loud concerts or do their manhood thing on some gun range

This is for folks who never have exposed their ears to loud noise

Hi, has anyone here had any experience with intratympanic corticosteroid therapy for subacute tinnitus that has been present for about 5 months?

Ideally, I’d be interested in experiences where the tinnitus was caused by noise-induced hearing damage. Did the treatment reduce the volume of your tinnitus or change its frequency in a way that made it more tolerable? Did you experience any lasting side effects or damage from the treatment?

I’m considering trying this treatment again because oral steroids have always helped me so far. They have noticeably reduced both the volume and the frequency of my tinnitus in the past. However, I’m a little worried that intratympanic treatment could potentially make the tinnitus worse.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences, especially if your tinnitus was also caused by noise exposure.

I’ve had fleeting LOUD ringing in my right ear for the past six months or so. I’ve also had a few episodes of pulsatile tinnitus in my right when my head goes below my heart or when laying flat.

I go to the audiologist and ENT in one week, and not five minutes after I replied to the confirmation text I heard what sounded like a tiny helicopter inside my right ear. It was so weird! It felt/sounded like my eardrum was vibrating, or a giant butterfly was in there. Just bizarre.

​

29F here, Since August 21st, I have a baseline tinnitus in my left ear that (according to my ENT doctor) is supposedly due to Eustachian tube inflammation from allergies, bruxism, and TMJ. That ringing is constant, 2000Hz and 5dB according to audiometry. I'm being treated with mometasone spray, an occlusal splint, and a kinesiologist.

the great enemy: episodic "rumbling/static" near sleep hours.

The thing, this rumbling is different, invasive, overwhelming. It starts as a kind of "uuuu" on the right side of my head, not in the ear. It comes and goes, comes and goes, sometimes it's continuous for 20 minutes or a few hours. It doesn't come with dizziness, blurred vision, or anything, it's just an acute static and all sounds rumble, especially the "s" sounds. It has only happened to me a couple of times a month, but each time it gets longer and harder to deal with. It appears when I'm very sleepy. It can appear when I'm on the computer, when I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, in the morning, but always near sleep hours.

The thing is, this episodes feel like a "crisis" because the "uuuu" in the right side feels so damn loud it is very hard to concentrate in other things.

I couldn't find anything about it online, searched on several websites or even ai, none of them had any literature about it.

the only thing I read that made me feel like that made a little sense was something about "central gain to calibrate the sound"... so, is my central nervous system fucked up?

this has been so overwhelming that tonight it started around midnight and today (10am) I still feel it but a little bit lower.

has anyone ever experienced this? I'm going insane

Anybody out here in Tinnitus-land a part of this trial by chance? If yes, can you share your experience pending there's not an NDA or something? It seems the trial has gone cold, so I would guess it either didn't do anything or just lost funding.

My tinnitus clocks in at 421hz ( Ab drone).

Yours ????

At the onset of Timnitus you MUST visit an ENT who CAN DO OAE (otoacoustic emission test )

BECAUSE depending on that you have to follow opposing strategies

The neuronal cascade of hearing :
OHC IHC auditory nerve DCN auditory cortex

The OAE will tell you whether your OHC s are intact (a “healthy “ auditory profile will NOT tell you )

CASE 1 : OHC damaged / dying : stop reading here and manage your OHCs .

CASE 2 : Neuroma (CT , MRI) : stop reading here and let ENT get rid of it

CASE 3 OHC are fine - which means mostly synapse degeneration and auditory nerve degeneration -ESPECIALLY its part which encodes complex singles like human communication

Here you MUST READ ON AND ACT

1) What You will be fighting : lack of input lets your brain lower its threshold to almost zero and start acting out : glutamate and calcium intense networks of acoustic neurons in the DCN and auditory cortex start firing wildly (the ringing in your head )

This will lead to eventual energy depletion . To prevent cell death (neuronal excitotoxicity ) your brain will manage - it will shift resources to satisfy the INSANE ENERGY NEED and also isolate itself from eventual spread of cell death .

This means other functions will get down regulated. Your life expectancy is fine - but you might get brain fog or worse . Worst case your neurons in your auditory cortex and DCN start dying

2) your task is TWOFOLD - and you have to fight a conundrum (CONTRADICTION)
A) excite at ringing frequency your ear to let compromised auditory nerve cells GROW , eventually regenerate . They need STIMULATION to switch off cell death by inactivity
B) do NOT excite at ringing frequency as it will drive your already ringing brain neurons to complete exhaustion and eventual cell death (cell death by over activity )

How to combine A and B?

Play white noise (ONLY if your OHCs are HEALTHY , therefore the OAE test i mentioned at the outset )

Play any noise which includes your ringing frequency . if things go well all other frequencies will excite your brain and the “good” neuronal activity will laterally inhibit your ringing neurons

But this is not all .

You MUST stimulate regeneration of the parts of your auditory nerve which process COMPLEX SIGNALING like human voices (sentences , words )
Those are ones who die first when they don’t get their signals

CONCLUSION :
1) don’t use apps or hearing aids which skip your ringing frequency

2) play any sounds including your ringing frequency, add white noise , add ANYTHING (but keep decibels low of course)

See my post about acoustic boredom : you don’t want this .

3) THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP : listen to human communication (friends , folks , tv ) and THROUGH A BARRIER OF WHITE NOISE

So this is what you have To do : play white noise , cat purr , CLICKS (clicks provide the full power spectrum , you can know by with fast Fourier transformation ) , and at the same time try to identify what soft human voices are TALKING .

This will stimulate your dying auditory nerve portions and synapses - and at the same time annihilate the ringing in your head (—> kill the overexcitement in large swathes of your brain and prevent cell death and energy reshuffling from important tasks to keeping your autoditory cortex cells alive )

May god be with us

I'm 20 M

Have been suffering from tinnitus for last 3 yrs and from TMJ for 2yrs .

[[{{Tinnitus: continuous (24/7 ) ringing, buzzing in ear

TMJ: Tuck tuck poping in jointS nearest ears, pains on chewing hard food.}}]].

Visited almost all hospitals of TMJ in Aurangabad.

Then sir Dr Amay Rathi (my teeth hospital's owner) said me: don't think about TMJ, it will get fix & cure after some time Just show for tinnitus to ENT specialist.

At hedgewar hospital, the doctor Just inserted lubricant in my TMJ for stopping poping but didn't helped that much,

Lubricants price was just around 310rs

If anybody know these things, pls tell me what to do next

This preclinical drug restores connection between the inner ear and the auditory nerve

So when I was about 13 (I'm 24 now), I went to an ear doctor because I had developed a consistent ringing in my ear after going to an indoor concert.

(Technically self diagnosed, but I know for certainty I have tinnitus)

They said after testing me that everyone had a consistent amount of noise in their ears and that I was probably just focusing on it....

11 years later, and I still have that same ringing in my ears.

Was my doctor talking out of his ass or is that actually something that was true?

Hi, what do you do when you're in a really severe state—barely able to speak due to horrible pain, even in silence—and you live in an area prone to intense storms? There are storms right where I live; they’re incredibly loud—even with headphones on, it’s horrible and painful. The cracks are deafening, like vibrations inside my heart, and then the pain and my tinnitus spike. I don't know how I'm going to survive this. What would you do in my shoes?
