If it's connected to hearing loss than it's probably permanent. I read that the the pitch of the ringing is the same as the pitch of your hearing loss? At any rate I am basically deaf in my left ear, the ear I have ringing in. Under testing I can hear low tones only. My dad had tinnitus and was deaf in his left ear also. Background noise like a fan.help a lot at night. Good luck

for the most part, yeah. Mine tends to be louder in quite settings. There are times when it's like an alarm going off in my head.
If you ever get the opportunity to visit a real sound studio, you basically feel like shouting because you can barely hear your own voice, but the ringing in your head becomes deafeningly loud in your head because there's no other noises. I think one of the coolest things is clapping your hands together. Normally this sounds pretty loud, but in a sound studio it just is a muffled thump.

Did Dwight shoot a gun off in the office by your head?

This is a cool video.

At 2:00 this is what it sounds like, to me, when the announcer is taking in AT&T Cowboys Stadium. Barely legible and so much sound bouncing around that it's the worst for a football game.

I’ve had tinnitus as long as I can remember. Also have tinnitus “spikes” - tinnitus is louder and the actual sound changes. Usually doesn’t last very long, few days to a week. All seems normal to me. I have noticed that wearing my hearing aids seems to reduce the noise, once off the noise returns.

Thanks. I've always had a fan on for noise while I sleep, and for the last few months I've brought it into the living room as soon as I get up. The noise definitely helps.

If you have pulsatile tinnitus it is treatable. This is when the ringing pulses with your heartbeat, when you walk and when you run.I have it and I will have surgery to replace some bone that is missing in the sigmoid sinus. Dr. can't guarantee success but believes this is causing mine.

I’ve had it for many years and it’s pretty loud. Mine is due to noise exposure (army, loud music), genetics, fluid in ears due to allergies (and I have Scottish ancestry). My tinnitus is around 8000 hz, and I have a high frequency hearing loss. Female voices are harder to hear. I wear Resound hearing aids and at night I use my shortwave receiver to produce white noise for masking. Sometimes it’s really bad and seems as though others should be able to hear it.

You have to make sure to tell ent you have pulsatile tinnitus. I have seen specialists at Vanderbilt and OLOL and both have found loss of bone. There can be other causes that require a CT scan or mri to find. Don't accept that it is untreatable.

I have really bad tinnitus, but no hearing loss. I'm hoping it's not a brain tumor, but nobody really takes it seriously.

I had this and it drove me crazy. I went to the pharmacy and bought some ear flush stuff and the amount of shite that came out of my ear was fricking disgusting... Have not had the issue since.

I can say with certainty that medicine can cause tinnitus. This is ototoxicity. Tinidizine and baclofen kick it off bad for me. I quit all muscle relaxers. I remember having bad tinnitus while on an anti depressant, as well.

quote:

There is a wide range of ototoxic medications, for example, antibiotics, antimalarials, chemotherapeutic agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and loop diuretics.[2] While these drugs target on different body systems, they also trigger ototoxicity through different mechanisms, for example, destruction to cellular tissues of inner ear parts and disturbance on auditory nervous system.[2] Onset of ototoxicity ranges from taking a single dose to long-term usage of the drugs.[3]
Signs and symptoms of ototoxicity include tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness and nausea and/or vomiting

I had it for a few years after a loud canon shot at a historical reenacting event, but mine did eventually go away.
