Update. Noticing patterns in tinnitus now. When I wake up the hum is very low, easy to ignore. This wasn’t always the case. The volume use to be the same regardless of the time of the day now I have different intensities. When I come back from work or a walk it sounds like an engine. Not...

I had an audiogram, couldn’t hear; deaf as a post. A few weeks later did another audiogram and could hear it. Result. Which audio test should I be asking for?

Missing the point I think. Firstly I understand it’s an app. But it did score a similar score to actual audiograms performed by ENT services prior to going deaf in the left ear; I.e. no hearing problems. Also, given that I was completely deaf in the left ear recording no readings 10 days ago...

Unbelievably after my shower today my left ear heard something. I jumped on a hearing test app and scored 99% hearing capability in that ear. Will this last? I also had my first CBT session today. Didn’t get through much but learnt ignoring the tinnitus is completely the wrong approach/advice...

Despite the seriousness of going deaf my referral for MRI mri is a standard referral; something I’m attempting to change as I won’t have an MRI this year at this rate.

Worth noting I’m hearing the loud hiss/fuzz in right ear more than the hum, or at least finding it more intrusive.

Update: I'm still deaf in the left ear. The hospital said I have idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss. No shit I thought. Fancy name but no explanation. Resigned to the idea it won’t come back. I have to treat my other ear like glass now. I didn’t mention it above but I have a high pitched...

Thanks for your welcome. Things have developed over the last week. The low hum is still there but has become really easy to ignore but in the same ear I’m getting a low thumping sound, almost with a rhythm. Sounds like when you hear your phone vibrating upstairs and you’re in the room below but...

Hello all. From reading I can see I’m not alone. 5th of September a low hum started. Sounds like a car with bass cranked up. I can’t hear it if I’m talking but the second I stop, it’s back like the bass line in Billie Jean. If I put a finger in my ear it stops and also tight protective tight...
