I have been too scared to take any drugs. My experience of them is that they're more dangerous than what they're trying to cure - but that's just...

Now 10 years from the start of T for me. Salicylates play a major factor in the noise level. When it's loud it stops me being able to think.

I would have thought that there were more than 367 cases of tinnitus strongly linked to a vaccine just on this forum - perhaps WHO is trying not...

@CathyJ - If Aspirin causes tinnitus then it is highly likely that you are 'salicylate sensitive'. Salicylates cause my tinnitus & they are hard...

Nine years since it began. Food high in salicylates, salt & lack of sleep bring it on. Get the balance right & it disappears.

JM - can you let us know whereyou managed to get hold of a book on ototoxic drugs please? In the UK they start at around £175! Thanks Click

@Markku Hi Markku, I'm trying to figure out whether B12 Methylcobalamin should be taken on its own or whether it's better to take it with...

ok - cheers linearb. Not sure I trust anything much on the net, even the ones that aren't 'selling' could be set up just to boost the SEO of the...

Screamed like hell yesterday - GONE today...

Up all night - annoying!!

The medical profession, tinnitus 'centres', clinics etc. know so little about tinnitus that they really should be stopped from giving 'absolute'...

Salt seems to affect t volume for more people than carbs or sugar. Most who have T that is affected by their diet say that salicylates are the...

@Louise - got a phone call this morning - the consultant who was doing my op tomorrow has to fix someone's broken jaw so mine has been delayed...

Thanks Louise. I'm not sure if it is making the T worse. I think the fact that the eustachian tubes are screwed though may have a lot to do with...

Wow - so many posts saying that people are cruel etc. I disagree. I think that the majority of people are kind and caring. Often 'life' gets in...

Hopefully it will go down instead of up one day for you Louise. It must be sh** - having it increase every time anything happens. Mine is...

I'm just hoping they don't - but I don't think they'll be allowed to if I say don't... God you were brave to have it done Louise - I'm assuming...

Apparently wearing plugs during it will make the noise worse because it's mainly 'bone conducted'. It's dreadful not even knowing what we should...

@Louise I stayed up for that too but I have the volume so low - and I use the subtitles now - can't understand a thing without them because the...

@Louise Weird thing happened to me recently. Never suffered from wax in ears before but after 10 days of not being able to hear out of left ear...

@KelsterB How did it go? Were you ok? Let us know please.

Op that may help to correct 'bite' coming up. The general - drugs- jaw stretched open - neck etc. God knows what it will do to the t volume.

Fewer quiet days now... yesterday loud - today silence. Hoping, but not really believing anymore, that one day it may disappear forever.

For it not be the focus of your attention it needs to be something that you can 'get used to' - something that your brain can sense as not...

That's great Sam. That's the key to it really - the fact that it doesn't change much. Mine changes all the time, gets hissy, gets very loud, gets...

@Sam Bridge I have them all plus a hundred more Sam but when the tone is ever changing or it gets really loud, then no - masking doesn't always...

@Louise Wish I knew. Mine has also got louder and the days when it isn't there are far fewer. I've come to the conclusion that mine has been made...

@Louise SO TRUE - when it's low it's fine - when it's high it's intolerable. Mine is making weird noise today that is filling my head and I...

Hope the t volume is going down Glynis and that the NHS are treating you well. I have what they've called Menieres and spondylosis too, as well as...

@Nonna Here are a couple of links Nonna - http://toomuchmag.com/are-your-veggies-attacking-you/...

I am convinced that new Pilates moves caused a pre-retinal formation in my left eye many years ago. It took a top private eye consultant to even...

It's probably the salt. Reduce the salt - radically - and there's no need to fast.

Why what? Sorry... not sure which bit wasn't clear Codaz. Yes, of course B vitamins can be taken as supplements but I don't take them. Yes,...

Vitamin supplements make my head go fuzzy - always have ... since I was a teenager - so I don't take them but, having read so much about B...

Did you have them out with a local or did they put you to sleep with a general? Glad it's not made anything worse!

Gosh this really is 20 questions isn't it - obviously you are a man of few words ofaisalo :)

@ofaisalo So has your doctor fixed it? Any solution given to you? Please tell us more.

It's in other threads so apologies for repeating this information... @erniej It could be your chewing - jaw movement - that is making it louder...

Can you bring us up to date? Did the splint help at all?

Possibly both. I wish I had the answers for you - and for me - but T's relationship with food is complex. Also, salicylates are higher in many...

Mine is definitely related to food. Cooked, concentrated tomato paste on pizza is extremely high in salicylates. Salicylates are injected into...

Yes, I can feel my T. The sensations are sometimes worse than the noise itself. If I have a whole day of T, the next day it feels as though...

Yes. It goes away completely... nothing is there -however hard I listen for it.

I believe that having a healthy diet could make T onset more likely if something that is not normally consumed is introduced. I too had an...

I tried an anti inflammatory diet about a year ago because of this (lots of pineapple!) Unfortunately it kept spiking my T because of all the...

Hope you're ok Markku - my floaters are also increasing. SO annoying. Take care. Jane x

My tinkle tinkle bells are also in time with each step... must be something similar.

Ahh - I know the one you mean:) I thought of that as tapping! Thank goodness for that - hate to think of you thumping yourself!

@Marie79 I can understand this causing anxiety for you Marie. Please ignore anyone who says that you should be grateful because their T is...

You thump the back of your neck??

@Cityjohn I'm not sure I can describe it differently. It's a tinkle - actually a double tinkle. I heard it this morning when I covered my ears...

@Azariah - did the T go away again? Nothing from you since February...

My eardrum probably vibrates too and, if I concentrated when this happens I'd probably be aware of it... but I try not to think about it when it...

During the first 6 months of my T my ears 'crackled' frequently. I also discovered that when walking quickly on hard surfaces, if I pushed in the...

I agree with what you've said Eric, we are what we eat, but, unfortunately, the only way today, to ensure that the food we eat is really healthy,...

SO true!!!

Interesting fact... CS Lewis had a secret life, hidden from all his religious friends (once he'd stopped being an atheist & gone back to...
