Australia. Am in the Blue Mountains NSW. When I've driven intestate or quite a distance away it disappears just like that. · 2018-03-20 · from the WORLDHUMMAP archive
Humming/ rumbling in ears that can last months or come and go over days. Extremely stressful after all tests reveal nothing wrong. Causes stress and anxiety. Feels like an invasion when you hear/ feel it. Seems louder in left ear and disappears momentarily if I block left ear with finger but then comes back. It seems louder in my left ear which is also the ear where I have inner ear damage with a permanent high pitch T. I found if I block my left ear with a finger and then pull it out it's gone for a few seconds completely. If I block my right ear, when I let go the hum in my left ear is there with a vengeance until it subsides which takes a few seconds too. I can pick it up very faintly with my right but only because I know what to look for and only really when I do the finger test. Bending over also can make it go a bit and putting my head back brings it on stronger but only when I'm hearing it which has made me think it's my ears.

Low, soft rumble - as if a large truck were idling in the distance - it varies, but not rhythmically - I can almost "feel" the vibrations. Most predominantly at night, in the bedroom on the…

Like a motor. Constant & intermittent. Sometimes louder. Stops 1 sec if I move my head. Fills my ear like a vibration. Fans will SLIGHTLY mask the hum. Earplugs won't...the only way is stick…
