Mine is usually pretty low level but sometimes it'll get louder for seeming no reason. I always have some kind of low level noise going on somewhere nearby like the tv or music on a speaker or something. it doesn't help the tinnitus but it does make it so I can't hear it all the time.

Yeah, even when it is loud I can watch TV and forget about it until I move someplace else. It’s pretty loud right now so I am going to pound a bunch of water and see if that helps. I have been listening to this ringing for a few years now and it doesn’t bother me as much as it did when I first got it. I am a production sound mixer and pretty sure this is job and age related. I am hoping it’s not my blood pressure that is causing it to get worse. I read somewhere that can be a cause.

I've noticed a correlation between volume and sodium intake. I'm also going in for a hearing test because now I have virtigo as well.

Yea, mine changes throughout the day or me realizing it changes. I think it goes on most of the day but I hear it in quiet or from loud to suddenly quiet. Also, noise really bother my ears, so I try to wear earplugs, but the ringing is bad with that too

Mine changes as well. Some days, it's so loud that I can't hear certain frequencies around me. The only time I feel relief is when I'm in my room with my industrial fan turned on. That's the only thing that drowns out the ringing for me.

Another Joe, I have the same thing going on for 27 years ago when it started! Mine is a near constant high frequency pitch like an older tube TV when you get close to the back of it. Had numerous brain scans & also MRI of the auditory canal to rule out acoustic neuroma or tumor. It makes it hard to sleep in my quiet bedroom room at night.

These doctors know nothing and say they don’t know where it’s coming from in the brain .& why! So I live with it. I don’t believe in wearing maskers to mask the sound. That’s just a Bandaid approach and doesn’t get to the underlying cause!! I’m fed up with ENT’s & Neurologists!!

I noticed that caffeine and some medications, even ibuprofen make mine louder. One medication changed the pitch of it. My audiologist suggests taking / eating more antioxidants. I also have migraines / constant headaches too so my neurologist has me taking CoQ10, Magnesium, and B2. I also take vitamin D and B12 every so often too. It’s been a week and I have yet to notice a big difference but I think it might be helping a bit. It’s worth the shot! Let me know if anyone wants to know the dosages.
