Tinnitus low pitch hum

by Eltonlamchunhung, Oct 31, 2009 12:08AM
It seems that the tinnitus sound can change. I sometimes hear low pitch hum, somtimes high ptich ringing, sometimes like water flowing inside and sometimes else. I wonder if the preceding conditions can mean something to a deaf ear. Any comments would be appreciated.

Yes tinnitus can change in pitch & volume etc.  As far as I know there is no ryhme or reason for it, and I do not think it indicates anything.

Tinitus is still a topic that is not fully understood.  So even if you get the opinion of an "expert" his or her knowledge is not complete. That said, that does not mean listening to quacks and participating in ear candeling, or using a laser pointer to stop tinnitus is going to be of any use.

But this tinnitus is obviously "getting to you." I put a pair of ear plugs on last night and my tinnitus was too much for me to tolerate it. I could not imagine having to "get used to it."  Like I said long before, a sudden onset has to be a lot more difficult to adjust to, than a slow gradual onset like most people go though.

Have you investigated a cochlear implant. I would not expect fabulous results, because you would probably have asymetrical hearing, thus the ear with the implant would probably be still essentially useless to you.....  but the tinnitus may be decrease.

It would be a lot of money & trauma, based on an experiment.
