Haven't been on the forum for years, but was contacted by a member about PT. So. I've had intermittent PT plus permanent 'hissing' tinnitus...

Maybe I should have called this thread 'Don't give up Hope'. When I first developed my tinnitus (4 years ago in October)....along with deafness,...

Glynis....'tis never too early to rattle your baubles, jingle your bells, decorate your profile and crack out the champagne.

I avoided anything very loud for something like 18 months after my tinnitus started, and it's very unusual for anyone to lose tinnitus after that...

At least I speak here from experience. After developing tinnitus 3 years ago, I then had an infection after 4 months followed by 2 ear surgeries...

crd3, I'm sorry for your problems, and you are painfully aware of the fact that you may have caused your tinnitus to worsen. However, try to stay...

I've had tinnitus for over 3 years, bilateral loud hissing and occasional PT, due to Eustachian Tube Dysfunction following a viral...

Just makes me wee a lot.

As well as the goosebumps (which I don't get THAT often), there's the flutter in the pit of the stomach, the sharp intake of breath, raised heart...

Jantine....I also know just how you feel. My tinnitus suddenly worsened with possible sinus problems about 6 weeks ago. Having T-tubes I don't...

Never slept for 8 hours and never sleep for more than 3-4 unbroken (usually wake every 2 hours). Though my tinnitus is very loud, it only affected...

Beat guess.....you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a consequence of having had a gut infection. Often happens after a nasty gut bug and can take...

I would say that habituation is not a steady state, but varies from day to day and even hour to hour. I've had loud hissing bilateral tinnitus...

I very much doubt that you will have caused any permanent eye damage from a single dose of prednisone, but prednisone is not usually used for...

What I didn't say is that the pic was from last year.....she's grown very well. Though still a bit small she is very friendly still, lives out in...

You're very welcome, Christine. The lack of knowledge of some professionals about tinnitus in the various forms often makes things seem worse. At...

[ATTACH] LLeila, lamb weighing under a pound, whilst her twin brother weighed a whopping 14, wearing a chihuahua coat .(average weight for this...

It may well go away.(See my post above). Strangely enough, I am have never really been too concerned about PT (maybe because I had 'the full...

I'm as sure as I can be (ante-mortum!) that I don't have vascular disease causing my own PT. I've had a minor episode of infection/inflammation in...

A lot of us have tinnitus affected by pressure etc. Stretching the skin around may ear when lying my head on the pillow cranks my regular tinnitus...

Well, reassurance in abundance. Maybe things have always been this way. If there's a tumour, almost certainly benign. Please try to settle the...

I doubt if anyone can really give you an answer to the questions you ask as there seems to be so much individual variation. I agree entirely...

In the Middle of Nowhere in Welsh mountains.....nearest 'villages' are a couple of miles either way and have about 6 houses each.

Alex...thought I'd reply as your story is similar to mine. Things WILL improve. I have chronic ETD (due to persistent/recurrent sinus infection)...

Some of us escaped years of listening to music too loud for our ears' sake and only needed a bit of a virus to end up with tinnitus. Whatever the...

Well, Sleepless in Wolverhampton, welcome. Do give more detail so folk can relate and advise. Just to say I was born and bred in...

Me neither, Rasmus. However, decisions about ending one's own life must start and end with that person (assuming that they are physically capable...

Does my computer make my tinnitus worse? Only when reading too much about devastating tinnitus.

I doubt that paracetamol is truly ototoxic. Like many common things, somebody takes a tablet, their tinnitus coincidentally worsens and the two...

Danny Boy you are in the wrong bit of the UK (for snow, at least). We have snow every year and usually are snowed in for a day or two. Here's a...

Had a VERY mild cold....not sure that was the cause....but tinnitus/ETD/deafness appeared and never left.

toddfw2003 , you don't say whether you have deafness, which is part of the trio of symptoms of Meniere's (tinnitus, deafness, vertigo) and the...

I think it's 'different strokes for different folks'. Ketogenic diet probably works for some. Various supplements (many different ones) seem to...

Jason C, 7 months may feel like an eternity to you, but it often takes a while longer than that to come to terms with the changed reality that...

Jasons.....I feel for you both. I also think it CAN get better for you both. My tinnitus (24/7 high pitched hiss plus intermittent PT) started...

LadyDi......I'm SO happy that my sheep (and our snow) were good enough to be your screensaver. No snow here as yet (more just mist, rain, mud and...

I'm very glad that you have done well, seal, and that dilatation has helped your symptoms I have severe ETD and have permanent T-tubes. These...

AuntSally......yes, you'll get there. Unfortunately it takes longer than we'd like, though. I took anti-depressants for 15 months, stopping in...

AuntSally....you WILL get through it, but it will take time. I have PT in both ears (intermittently) and hissing tinnitus 24/7 and my life has...

Whilst stress doesn't actually cause tinnitus, tinnitus feeds on stress. Earwax can cause tinnitus. 'Physiological' tinnitus is present in a high...

Karen, no I haven't. I've not heard of WoBenzym, but will research it now. I've got a bit of an odd immune system. I used to be anaphylactic to...

AuntSally I think inflammation is almost certainly the cause in my case. When I have viral infections, my sinuses are blocked, or after the two...

Pulsatile tinnitus intermittently in both ears and high pitched 'hissing' tinnitus 24/7. I would say...yes, you'll get used to (habituate to) the...

The 'flashing lights' are of different intensities and remind me of a visual field test. However, they tend to move and leave a 'wiggly tail', so...

Like most things with tinnitus, it seems, there is a great deal of individual variation. My tinnitus was almost certainly related to a (very...

My own Eustachian tube problems were caused by the very slightest viral infection, but never resolved, so you have my sympathies. Are your...

Not alternative at all, but ibuprofen syrup (the stuff for kids) works wonders for me (classical and ocular migraine)....quick acting and less...

Vegetarian, tinnitus for 2 years, classical and ocular migraine (since childhood), Raynaud's (since childhood) and glaucoma (since my 30's), but...

Been taking Sativa strain CBD oil for the last week.....staining teeth black, tastes awful and no effect whatever on tinnitus so far. Fungus

IF prednisolone works, then I believe it only works at any early stage. I also developed my tinnitus after what was a pretty trivial virus...

If your tinnitus was related to military service, then you are probably due some compensation from the government (not that money it will get rid...

Sorry you are so troubled at the moment. Has something else happened to make the tinnitus affect you more ? Clearly you are well adjusted...

So, I'm from across the Pond. The NHS? Pretty good for emergency care (but can be patchy).....but 'cold' cases...nah! Trying to be...

Just found out you are in hospital and catching up on what you have had done. MRI/MRA.....like you ,I have some neck arthritis and that table is...

I was taking gingko when I developed tinnitus and have stayed on the same dose since. No change at all for me. Fungus

I was taking Ginkgo (for eyes) when I developed my tinnitus. I have continued to take it. No influence whatever on my tinnitus. Fungus.

Welcome June, and I agree with the need to read up on forms of management and what may work for you. The reason for my quoting you? Well, it made...

I don't have to remove my hearing aids when I talk on the phone (means I sometimes poke them right into my ears). The best tip I can give is to...
