Hello
When I awake from sleeping my right ear is always sissssing extremely loud. The siss, is not the typical "ring" in my ear per say, but a hissing noise, only in my right ear.
The hissing lessens after I am up approximately an hour or so and then diminishes through out the day,leaving me with a different more tolerable tinnitus.
I have brought this symptom to your attention here in the past and done much research on the matter, however nobody appears to actually know the reason for this phenomena.
My ENT, stated I might hear the hiss after awakening due to it is quiet in the morning, which I know is not the case and I was upset that a specialist has no clue either to why my ear appears to hiss loud upon awakening.
I stated in my other post the other day, "Update on my tinnitus" My tinnitus appeared to be at bay the past few months.
The reason possibly being, I was tending to a very stressful situation caring for my elderly mother day after day, so possibly just not noticing my tinnitus as much. In addition I was eating a bit more salt and sugar.
However, maybe my tinnitus was still existing no different than now, I truly wonder, so odd that I can't recall???? I have started to eliminate salt and sugar again, hoping it might help.
At any rate, the morning tinnitus that I am experiencing makes me feel almost "ill like", and I am finding it hard to get up and carry on with my day.
Unfortunately also the obsessing as to what is causing my tinnitus is again consuming my thoughts.
Any ideas as to why my one ear hisses loud upon awaking? Do any of you experience this as well?
Thanks for you input, it is appreciated.

I am new to this support group and hope to get some help and detail some of my tinnitus history. It is a nasty thing to deal with,actually the worst I ever had to live with. I have some sleep apnea that may or may not be related. It seems to "reboot" itself upon awakening, even if it was a quiet day.
I do believe t is tied to sleep in some way.
Dr. Jastreboff--inventor of TRT--could not even explain the louder T after napping or sometimes overnight sleep, and he researched T for decades! His best guess is it had to do something with iron levels in the blood after sleep, but I've set my T off just by dozing for a minute, so that theory doesn't seem to fit.
I am sorry your Tinnitus is bothering you more lately. I have had very high Tinnitus for 1 year now (almost exactly). I tried just about everything and what finally worked was just not focusing on it. I am convinced it is the only thing that really works. You have to emotionally detach from it and then you will hardly notice it. I sometimes go a whole day without noticing it or hearing it at all.
I wish there was a cure but I think that keeping yourself busy and occupied is the best cure of all. It's a bit of a blessing in a way, I am more productive now than I have been in a very long time.
Best
