I was diagnosed with tinnitus not too long ago, and was wondering if their was anything that could help me cope with the ringing. I have tried using back ground noise (a fan that sits near my bed on high, but it only blocks out one pitch, other days it will only block out two [those days I have maybe three pitches]) I was given two pamphlets, and one said to try out vitamin B-12 supplements. Do they work?

ALSO, can tinnitus be caused by earthquakes or anything of the like? My tinnitus started around the time of the Japan Earthquake/Tsunami/Power plant thing, so I was wondering if there might be some sort of connection. Other then that, I have no clue where it came from. I don’t listen to loud music, and I haven’t been to a concert since seventh grade (I am not going into tenth.)

Well, thanks for you time.

I think or have tinnitus.. when in silence, or covering my ears, I hear some noise.. Its not a HIGH pitch noise, I really dont know what it is, I know its 24/7 though.
im 13, and not sure what this is, I had it for like 7 years now
and since Im a hypocondriac, and I think its tinnitus, Im literally driving myself crazy, not sleeping. and thinking about it 24/7..
Its not high pitch, Its not buzzing, I cant even explain what the sound is, Its like a pitch noise though..

I drink soda, Use nose spray, sometimes listen to loud music
but now since I think I have tinnitus
I listen to very low music, I drink little soda, Been getting off nose spray, And been driving myself crazy..

Please, do you know or think what I have?

Refresh: Its not high pitch, Its just like 2 sounds, Not chirpping, Buzzing, Etc..

Help!
Also, I think I feel pressure when I hear it too, If that helps any

i got exposed to VERY LOUD music at a party last night. i have a ringing in my ear now. ive never had it before. do i have tinnitus or will it go away?

Okay so in the past few days whenever someone talks I hear a raspy-ish noise when they talk, it also kinda sounds like they’re talking through their nose, (it’s hard to explain) in my left ear, which I have tinnitus in (I’m only 14, so I don’t know how I got it since I don’t listen to loud music but I think it had something to do with the impacted wax I had in February and my doctor says there’s nothing he can do about it so yeah..) and it’s starting to get on my nerves. I always feel like I have to clear my throat, so I’m wondering, am I hearing this because of my tinnitus or because I’m sick or something and is it worth going to the doctor, even though I went a few days back to get my ears syringed, or will it go away its self or can I get anything to make it go away.
Oh and sorry if this is in the wrong category, I’m not sure which one it goes into.

Since a week I hear a noise ‘in my head’.

It resembles the noise from an old TV that is turned on, but has the volume turned down. Anyone knows that sound?

I hear it it not in my ears, like a tinnitus after going to party with loud music, but in my whole head…
I couldnt find any description or example that resembles it. It is like a ‘radiation noise’, seeming to come from the middle of my head.

On top of that, I had a headache 4 out of 7 days this week. I’m going to the doctor in a couple of days if it doesnt pass, but anyone has an idea of what it can be?

Thanks!
