    The list just goes on and on. How can tinnitus bring on so many other symptoms. It's so weird. How's studying going? Are you still at uni? I managed to take my final exams in June just gone. In all honesty, I was so distracted, I think it's the most I've ever forgotten about my T. Oh and H was okay, cause I was in a silent room.

    I have them. They sometimes go on for 6-8 hours for me. Look up TTTS

    I keep asking myself the same thing Steph, it's crazy. I've gone from having standard T to PT, H, ETD, and now this? Re uni: I've finished now, I received a first class honours which I'm chuffed about but pretty sad that I can't do anything with it (won't be going the planned teaching route due to T). Congrats for getting your final exams done! Are you still going to do a masters?

    @Enkidu 6-8 hours!?!? I'm sorry to hear that. I was close to tears after thirty seconds of it... I couldn't concentrate on anything I just had to sit there until it was over. I just hope it doesn't return.

    Yeah it’s torture since they’re so irregular. I get odd ones now and then and just have to pray it doesn’t start an episode. So little is written about why they happen but the general consensus seems to be that anxiety may play a role. If I have an episode, putting in an ear plug in really reduces how noticeable they are and allows me to just get on with my day

    Oh my goodness @Charburchar! First class honours. You clever guy! I'm pretty proud of you. The sheer fact you managed to complete uni at such a rubbish time in your life. That shows pure determination. I haven't had my results yet. Pretty sure I'll have a high 2:1. That's what I'm on route for. Not quite as clever as you ;) Yeah I'll definitely still do a masters. Not till October next year though.

    So what are you thinking career wise, now teaching is sadly off the cards.

    Yeah I had ETD, then PT, and lastly T. I also have very mild H :( so your symptoms but back-to-front

    Thank you Steph! That means a lot. I'm sure you'll do great :) You're clearly a very determined person yourself completing your exams with T. It isn't easy!

    Still have your sights on Cambridge? Oh I have no idea, still trying to work that out. And how strange that we have experienced the same symptoms back-to-front!

    @Enkidu man that really sucks. So strange how anxiety can do that to your ears? If it happens again I might try that myself (put in an earplug)!
