Ringing in the ears and noise-sound sensitivity

Sounds like you are suffering from recruitment or hyperacusis along with tinnitus. I know what that ear pain feels like, being a sufferer myself. The American Tinnitus Association is a good place for information on these subjects along with non .com sites on the internet. Good luck finding answers to your constellation of health issues. Some may not be related to each other but simply be separate problems.

Thank you for responding. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
The ringing in my ears and now over past two years severe noise sensitivity actually makes me feel very sick. I've had ringing in the ears for years and visited what I felt was a very incompetent ENT doctor is SW Fl about ten years ago. That entire visit to that ENT was a waste of my time and money.
I've lived with this constant high buzzing ringing noise for many years but then two years ago this debilitating noise-sound sensitivity started which is horrible and adds now to my long list of health issues that doctors can not figure out SO I just suffer from day to day, month to month and now year to year.

I'm so fed up and really infuriated with majority of so called "doctors and specialist".

I get it. I have the high pitched ringing and loud rumbling and believe it or not I hear a tune that repeats itself for hours. I have had tinnitus for about 40 years. Doctors are not helpful because they are aware that there is nothing to be done for the condition and feel as though it is futile seeing patients with tinnitus. Deafness helps to blunt the pain of recruitment as does noise habituation through exposure to sound on a gradual basis.

I started 2 months ago with mild Vertigo then it worsened. I have ringing/buzzing in my ears. That remains constant as the Vertigo sometimes is less. I have muscle twitches and a thumping/swaying in my head- tremor like at times. Sleep to wake brings thumping in my head and panic like symptoms. I have up and down BP with high pulse all day long. I was completely healthy before this started two months ago. I hiked and biked and worked, but have completely had to stop activities. The internal sensations in my head are horrifying. Normal MRI so far. Starting the cycle I’d doctor specialties.

I've had vertigo awhile back. Docs prescribed medication that made me drowsy. I went to an ENT and asked for the Epley maneuver. I read about it online, and no doctor had ever mentioned it to me. I know that certain physical therapists also do it. After the maneuver it got better rather quickly. I no longer have vertigo. I understand how frustrating ear issues can be. Good luck to all and never stop looking for answers.

Sorry for your health problems that go undiagnosed. I have had tinnitus for over 30 years with no assistance either. Probably because there is no effective treatment for tinnitus. My Dr. Says if I ever hear of one to please let him know. Not very encouraging. Still, it’s better to know the truth than to search endlessly and not find one I think. The noise sensitivity can be reduced by gradually exposing yourself to tolerable levels. It’s called hyperacusis.
