Tinituus Quite in the morning

[Marsh3l]

Good Morning All

I’ve had pulsating tinnitus for just over a year. I feel I was well habituating it as I don’t notice it much throughout the day with ambient noise. In the evening in a quiet room I tend to use masking noise help me sleep.

over the last couple of months, I found it more noticeable in noisier surroundings It’s also more noticeable than ever in quiet environment.

I’ve had MRI scans and seen ENT specialist on 3 separate occasions so anything sinister has been ruled out.

Strangely, I’ve found occasionally in the morning I wake up with no T or it being almost unnoticeable in a quiet environment. This only lasts until I get up out of bed and carry on with my day.

I believe my T is stress related having one of my children go through leukaemia treatment along with work Ect.

I have read that muscle tension and stress can be a big contributor.

Maybe due to be been more relaxed on the morning when I wake the T is reduced does anybody else have similar experiences?

Kind Regards

Hi Marsh31,

Your T is pulsatile which means that there may be considerations affecting your experience of which I, with "ordinary" T for more than 20 years, am not aware. In case it helps you at all though, my own experience and that of (I guess) millions of others is that our T is variable in every possible way. For 15 years mine would be absent every other day - but if, on an "off day" I lay in bed for a while after waking, rather than get up into the noisier environment that actually triggers yours, it would begin and last for the remainder of that day.

Similarly, every degree of loudness, perceived spatial location, type and number of tones, is possible, and they can combine in entirely unpredictable ways. The person's level of anxiety and other psychological / physical factors often play a part, but it can be impossible to determine what part and when.

Some sufferers do wake one day with a single tone, location and loudness - and it remains so for the rest of their lives. This is, I suppose, the common perception of what it is like to have T, but (just from my own experience of the T community), I don't think that it is even typical.

Kind Regards

As I understand, there are different kinds of T. The throbbing kind is from a blood vessel and is more treatable. Have you searched the latest research? Mine is from an injury so that tiny thread of a nerve that gives signals to the brain is damaged. Gentle regular chiropractic, reike, and healing meditation as brought mine to a manageable din of cicadas.
