Why Does My tinnitus Get Louder With SOUND?
The most important thing you can do is to go see your doctor. Your doctor can try to determine what is causing your tinnitus. He or she can check to see if it is related to blood pressure, kidney function, diet, or allergies. Your doctor can also determine whether your tinnitus is related to any medicine you are taking. To learn more about what is causing your tinnitus, your doctor may refer you to an otolaryngologist (oh-toe-lair-in-GAH-luh-jist), an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He or she will examine your ears and your hearing to try to find out why you have tinnitus. Another hearing professional, an audiologist (aw-dee-AH-luh-jist), can measure your hearing. If you need a hearing aid, an audiologist can fit you with one that meets your needs.
Tinnitus From Loud Music or noise?
People with Tinnitus from Loud Music or noise. Does the pitch of your tinnitus change when you bite your teeth down, does it change when you listen to music get louder, Or does it stay the same exact tone no matter what is going on. I belive I have TMJ tinnitus But I havent been to a doctor yet, im trying to find out if this research on the internet is true, or if I have a different disorder.. Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) syndrome: This jaw disorder may cause tinnitus and is characterized by many symptoms, including headaches, earaches, tenderness of the jaw muscles, dull facial pain, jaw noises, the jaw locking open, and pain while chewing. The Sternocleidomastoideus muscle connects on your sternum by the collar bone on both sides and goes back to the back of the ear. It's about 6-10 inches long and when it gets tight, it can pull on the TMJ area thereby creating a pull on the muscles and ligaments around the inner ear area. Almost certainly the final "pull" is the sphenomandibular ligament which connects the ear drum and TMJ. An osteopath can work with this. Xanax or other benzo's can provide tension relief as well. The masseter and temporalis muscles (those in front of the ear and above the ear can cause the same TMJ/tinnitus problems. If a person wants to know if their tinnitus is connected to their TMJ in some way, have them 1) clench their teeth- does it change the tinnitus? 2) push in hard on the jaw with your palm. Does the tinnitus change? (Get louder/softer, pitch or tone change) 3) Push in on the forehead with your hand hard. Resist with the head. Any changes? In about half the people I talk to, they find a TMJ correlation they never even dreamed of... Is this research True, or is my tinnitus from loud music? This is what is up, one night I heard a loud roaring in my ears, then the tinnitus begun. When i bite my jaw it makes the tinnitus louder, or when I put pressure on my teeth. When I listen to music treble sounds distorted and it makes the tinnitus worse. Does anyone know a way to fix this from home or do you have to see a specialist, and are you sure this is not from sound induced trama.
Could listening to fairly loud music make my tinnitus worse?
Thanks for the A2A Michelle Andrade.Yes, loud sounds do make your tinnitus worse, and music is no exception if played fairly loud. Especially if the music (or sound/noise) is loud enough to cause a temporary shift in hearing threshold, as that would create a lack of stimulation in the part of the brain responsible for hearing, leading to tinnitus or worsening of tinnitus.Ironically, music is one of those things that can actually help relieve the tinnitus related distress. but for that to happen, there should be at least 2 hings happening. 1. Music should not be ‘fairly loud’ but pleasant. 2. Music should have a slow rhythm, like classical music for example. Music is known to relieve stress by reducing the heart rate. To some extent, our heart beat follows the rhythm of the music that we are listening to. Slow music causes relaxation which results in reduced stress leading to reduced perception of tinnitus.Loud rock music, in contrast, have opposite effects, and if very loud can cause more tinnitus or increased tinnitus perception.
My ears are ringing after listening to loud music.?
I was listening to loud music on my iPod with my earplugs in for abt an hour. I never listen to loud music. I normally put it only as loud as I need it to be to hear but I didn't today. I put it at full blast, now my ears are ringing and feel kind of like it would when an airplane lands will it ever go back to normal?
Is listening to music all day bad?
There's a popular saying that excess of everything is bad. Listening to music all day long too has its harmful effects. I'm mentioning some of them-: 1. Tinnitus [Noises in ear] - This is mostly due to the exposure to extremely loud noise. It is a ringing, buzzing, roaring noise in the ear or head. 2. Hyperacusis - It is an increased sensitivity to normal environmental sounds. As many as 63 percent of tinnitus patients also suffer from hyperacusis. 3. Hearing loss - Listening to loud music daily and for prolonged periods can result in NIHL (Noise Induced Hearing Loss). The loss may be temporary or permanent. 4. Ear infections - These are common as regular use of earphones enhance the growth of bacteria and also transfer other person's bacteria to your ears, if they are shared with others. Also, as earphones are placed directly into the ear canal, they block the air passage which further increases chances of developing infections. 5. Numbness in ears - It may occur after exposing ears to loud music. This may lead to muffled hearing, temporary or permanent hearing impairment. 6. Excessive ear wax - This is the result of using headphones for long duration may result in tinnitus, difficulty in hearing, earache and recurrent ear infections. 7. Pain in the ears - It can be a referred type of pain which may extend to the inner ear due to a poorly fitting headset. 8. Effect on the brain -It is due to the electromagnetic waves generated by the headphones. These can cause problems for the brain in the long term. Also, since the inner ear has a connection with the brain, any damage or infection in the ear can also affect the brain. 9. Dizziness -It may be caused due to increased pressure in ear canal caused by loud noise. 10. Loss of connection with reality - It may result in serious consequences like accidents. People who use headphones when walking or jogging on the road are so engrossed in their private world that they may not be able to hear the honking of vehicles or an approaching train and become victims of accidents. 11. Increased psychological stress and anxiety - It has been noted in people living in noisy surroundings. This can affect a person's social life, mental health and the ability to perform.

What would happen if one were to listen to very loud music for a long time?
In addition to hearing loss discussed by others, you can also end up with related conditions such as tinnitus (a constant “ringing” or “buzzing” sound in your ears) or hyperacusis (sensations of physical pain caused by sounds, especially louder ones).Many people have reached an understanding that they must use hearing protection around loud sounds (and not just music). The options to prevent hearing loss are not that expensive in comparison to the ultimate costs of losing your hearing.Always keep the volume on your own music turned down to reasonable levels and use high-quality ear plugs when you can’t control the volume of music or other sounds around you.
My ears are ringing after listening to music. What should I do?
Original question: My ears are ringing after listening to music. What should I do?For starters, turn down the volume - a lot.Next, I would suggest that you do some research on chronic noise-induced hearing loss, which I suspect you are already inflicting upon yourself.The ringing in your ears is nature’s way of telling you the music is too loud. If you are young, and this is the first time you have noticed the ringing, give your hearing a rest and do without the music for a while and it may go away. If it does, consider yourself lucky, take it as a warning. You’ve already damaged your hearing, and that damage will never go away, but you can take steps to prevent it from getting worse.If the ringing doesn’t go away, you’ve got what’s called tinnitus, and your likely stuck with it for the rest of your life. At this point in time, noise induced hearing loss is irreversible. Medical science has come up with some pretty remarkable things in audiology, like digital hearing aids and cochlear implants, for example, but the ability to reverse hearing loss without mechanical/electronic assistance isn’t here yet.There are a few things you can do by way of damage control. First, as others have recommended, see an audiologist to have your hearing tested and evaluated, that way you know what you’re dealing with. Second, if you use ear buds, stop; piping the sound directly into your ear canals is harmful. Third, if you must use headphones, don’t put them directly over your ears, let the speakers rest on the bones just ahead of your ears.In some of the conferences I attended on hearing loss and hearing protection, the professional audiologists often used the term ‘the Walkman generation’ to identify the beginning of our modern habit of walking around piping music directly into our ears. The tag line was 20-year-olds with 50-year-old ears.Good luck.
Why do I get tinnitus so bad?
Ever since I was little I have had a very high pitched ringing in my ears but I never thought anything of it because I had always had it so I just figured everyone had it. I asked my dad about it and he said that not everyone gets it and it's usually caused from stress, but I don't see how a 5 year old could have such bad stress to cause tinnitus and not for this long! I am now 17 going on 18 and the ringing hasn't stopped at all. I don't notice it most of the time but as soon as it goes quiet it's there. I can't sleep without having to listen to music or sleep hypnosis otherwise the ringing will become too much. My parents think I'm just stressed and need to learn how to deal with stress but I don't think this is due to stress. Lately it has become much worse, in my right ear I have the same high pitched ringing noise but in my left ear it sounds like really heavy breathing. My left ear also feels extremely full but I'm experiencing no pain so it's really confusing me. Is it normal for someone with tinnitus to hear two completely different sounds and also to be having it for such a long period of time. I can honestly say I can't remember ever not having this. Please help!!!!!
