    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I know Sherri, I was hoping at least for some anti anxiety pills to help me get back to eating normally

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Went to the doctors and wasn't given anything, he did seem understanding and I have an appointment to talk to someone about anxiety issues. As I said before I was worried about this hum/buzz sound increaseing and it has again after being outside although it doesn't feel as intrusive as the...

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    The loud hum/buzz has decreased but I know it will come back with a vengeance once I go out in the car to the doctors or even move about the house and have a conversation, I know I'm now looking for this all the time but it's so intrusive I can't help it

    Managed a further 2 hours sleep but the left ear still has that noise at an intense level.

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    The noise has reached it's peak again after slightly lowering, just no letting up for me here and I really don't see it lowering

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Only managed around an hour of sleep, the loud noise is still going in my left ear and I'm going to see the doctor today, if I'm given any sleeping/anxiety pills, what should I recommend?

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Thanks Di, I've got my rain drops masking on just now which takes my mind off the noise and will help me sleep and hopefully report back tomorrow with the sound decreased or I could be back here in an hour lol

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Appreciate the post LadyDi. Anxiety is something I know I have to control but it's not made easier when the lower hum/buzz increases when I get active and gets severe from anything like the wind blowing or car noises( which it is at the moment)

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I'm very new to this so have none of these supplements to help me, can only find articles on how reflexology can help and don't really want to watch a video as I have the rain drops on just now which is helping mask the noise. I'm trying to tell myself this but in truth I'm far too scared at the...

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I don't have any of these unfortunately, I've tried going for a bath but the noise is unbearable, I'm struggling to get my head round when I get active then stop the noise is louder.

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    The noise is increasing in my left ear to abnormal noises, I am really struggling here.

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Thank you Darren, I've tried to go out for walks but the noises are just to much and my left ear begins to roar(although not as bad when in complete silence) so I'm sadly left inside all day. How loud exactly were your spikes? Mine currently feels as if someone is hoovering inside my ear.

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I was out at the supermarket tonight but couldn't handle it so came home, It's flared up badly and I hope it's not permanent, I'm still waiting on my earplugs to come. Also I didn't notice any real change when eating a banana. I'm currently listening to rain drops and I'm trying my hardest :)

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Darren if you don't mind me asking and if it's not too much trouble, would you be able to walk me through how you got through the first few weeks

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Was meaning to ask this before, should I have the rain drops loud enough to mask the sound completely are just enough you only slightly hear it? ( this fluctuates between 1 and 2 bars on an IPhone)

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I currently have rain drops on which are slightly helpin. The pitch of the blowing has slightly changed however but still troubling as before. I really do appreciate you guys being here for me

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I really do hope this lowers, It is much worse than the ringing, feels as if someone is constantly blowing in my ear. I'm barely eating either which isn't good.

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I just tried to go to the supermarket and it was an awful decision. The noise in my left ear has gone through the roof, I feel as if I've just stepped out a nightclub, this is causing me serious worry, my left ear just can't handle anything.

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Had a 2 minute conversation, moved about for a few minutes and the noise has risen further in my left ear and I go and play white noise which masks it but I turn it off and it' even louder now, the combination of blowing and high pitched ringing is unbearable. It's depressing me thinking I have...

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I did have a brisk read but I'll go over it again. What seems to happen to me is that it doesn't completely make me squirm but it gets me anxious as it leads to increasing the noise in my left ear for when I go back into a quite environment. Even white noise which helps me at night as it's...

    Gradually getting better!

    Object16, I see that you said even your own voice increased the volume? Would moving around and then lying back down do the same? As in create a very loud buzzing, as if you had just come out a very loud environment but then subsides slowly to its usual loud mode?

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I thought hyperacusis only made you squeamish and uncomfortable and never actually increased the volume of the T?

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Hi guys, sorry to be a constant drone but I'm beginning to really struggle here as I'm finding it unbearable that almost all external noises close to me are increasing the volume of my T in the left ear, any advice on this at all?

    Standing at the gates of tinnitus

    Thank you :) the only worry I have about going outside is what I experienced tonight, my ears just couldn't handle the vibrations, left ear would increase in noise to seriously uncomfortable levels and the right would become slightly sore

    Standing at the gates of tinnitus

    I hope I can begin to come to terms but this recent turn has left my ears so vulnerable to wind and other outside noises. I just went out for a 3 minute walk and my right ear began to get sore and the noise levels increased rapidly in my left ear, it was as if my ears couldn't deal with the...

    I have the exact same with high pitched and buzzing in my left and just high pitched in my right, how long exactly have you had this for?

    Thanks for the info mate, I never realised you were also a newbie, just out of interest, what type of sounds do you hear?

    Standing at the gates of tinnitus

    I think my main fear at the moment is the buzzing getting louder if I continue to have noise around me all day and night, or is this a method I have to take to progress?

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    Appreciate the reply :) Should I still try mask it even if it's making it worse? Or am I only perceiving it to be worse due to anxiety? Vicious circle so it is! To Carlo, I'm still waiting to see the ENT and i'm going back to my go to try and hurry the process along

    Hello, I'm Andrew

    I was struck with tinnitus 1 week ago after being at a party, which looks to have tipped it over the edge. Every 2 days since my ears have changed and just last night they felt blocked up and a louder buzzing noise came to my left ear and created huge sensitivity to noise and increased the T...

    Standing at the gates of tinnitus

    Hello Darren, I'm a relatively new sufferer(1 week) and I am currently experiencing slightly blocked ears and a hugely increased sensitivity which increases the T itself. I see you touched on that and was wondering if you have any words of advice, thank you
