Anyone with Tinnitus? (nausea, cause, noise)

When I forget to wear them, or just don't bother wearing them, the noise comes back over a few days' time and becomes almost constant.

Thanks for posting this. Im looking into hearing aids and ENT said they
could help. I sure hope so!

I have tinnitus related to TMJ syndrome and hearing loss. There are several threads on it in the Health and Wellness forums so just do a basic search and they should come up.

Sometimes I get regular old Tintinitis, but what I get is when I am under the power transmission lines out in my back yard is what I call the big band sounds. It is faint and sounds like a big long drawn out trumpet intro.

I get the classic ringing as well as phantom sounds like phones ringing or ambulances in the distance.

I have ferocious ringing in my ears. Its like think of a waterfall, with a snowstorm, and sometimes like a shortwave beeps, and sometimes like the humming of a male choir all mixed into one. Its been that way for years and people ask me how I can stand it. You can used to anything if you have to. Anyone else have anything like that?

I have a constant buzzing in one ear, and it ranges from loud to almost unbearable. I've been actively looking for a solution. I've been to more than one ENT doctor, been given anti-biotics, prednisone, and even steroid injections in the ear. Tried "tinnitus formula" vitamin/mineral supplements, gingko, healing oils, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments. None of these things helped much, or at all. At night, I sleep with a "white noise" machine to help mask the din. I know I could get a hearing aid, but I'm using that as a last resort. I keep holding out, waiting to find something that will quiet the noise.

I was diagnosed with tinnitus in my left ear about six months ago. This actually came as now suprise to me, having been both a session drummer and a member of one rock band or another for over 20 years. My audiologist told me I have a 30% loss of hearing in that ear due to the constant ringing sound, which he told me was caused by the continual vibration of a teeny tiny bone (the hammerl?) in the ear which perpetually vibrates like a tuning fork due to all that loud music over the years.
But I guess it's not so bad: I lived the diehard rock and roll life for all that time and I escaped it with only two caualties: the tinnitus thing and, uh.....what was I talkin' about?
Oh yeah: the loss of a few brain cells.

Butt that laste theeng realy duzn't bothur me to muhch.

I'm glad you've kept your sense of humor through all of it.

I was also in a rock band for years. I played the bass, but I always stood right next to the drummer to keep good timing. (Apparently I stool to the right of the drummer a lot, since only my left ear is affected.) Those darned crash cymbals are probably what killed my hearing!

I have had it for many years.I spent 3 years in the engine room of a diesel propelled ship in the Navy and did 4 hour throttle watches when we were under way which was very often with 15 day trips crossing the Atlantic.Hearing protection was an unknown thing in the late 50s.

I've had it for many years. Sometimes louder and more annoying than I'd like and other times very faint. It's been a combo package with slight hearing loss and TMJ as Nimchimsky mentioned, high blood pressure and hypothyroidism [both of which taking meds for]. Served in the Navy and worked around communications equipment and yeah, attendance at a few loud concerts and listening to music at home turned up to fairly high levels. Two falls landing on the back of my head didn't help.

Mine sounds like the kettle on the burner whistle most of the time. Very high pitched. I've had at times the triad bell tone that fades out. That's especially annoying when someone comes by and talks to you and you can't hear them until it fades away altogether and have to ask them to repeat themselves. Thank God that doesn't happen very often.

I try not to think about it as some people (esp those who don't have it) tell me to do. Easy for them to say, huh?

There are methods and other herbal meds out there to help alleviate it some but check with your doctor in case you have other medical conditions that could cause a problem with various ingredients.
Best wishes.
