Default Tinnitus

Does anyone have ringing in your ears or Tinnitus as a result of a head injury? I do, and it increases when I take muscle relaxants or tylenol type meds.

Tinnitus is a very common PCS symptom. For some of us, it becomes a life long annoyance. I have almost constant tinnitus. Usually not so loud but if I consume anything, it increases in loudness. I have checked the pitch as compared to a piano. It is just above D#6 on the keyboard. About 1244 hertz or slightly above. It has stayed at this frequency for years.

Yes, too much information but what do I say, I have PCS OCD.

Don't get suckered into any tinnitus supplements like Quietus. They do not work and are expensive.

My best to you.

I have this horrific whooshing sound. It varies in how loud it can be. I feel head pressure with it. It also keeps me from sleeping. It along with the headaches wake me up.

I've got a loud ringing in my right ear. Sometimes it goes almost completely away and then it will come back full force. Sometimes it changes tones, it's kinda weird. And now that you mention it, it does seem to get louder when I take certain meds like Cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxer).
