Maybe because I'm still early into this but it's not changed really. Its weird because I can go into the bathroom or living room ( when the TV is off ) and actually feel the silence for a while. Of course, I'll take that every chance I get. One thing is certain, and thats you not doing a...

Hey, MindOverMatter I know this is a late reply, but have you had ear wax removed manually before ? I've just been quoted 280 pounds ( UK ) but it would be done at a very reputable private hospital group ( Nuffield ) performed by an ENT specialist. I'm thinking I should just go for it.

Please understand, I don't for one second not think about your own situation! As you say yourself, this has been your biggest challenge ever. You are combining this with helping others at the same time, and that is testament to what you are clearly all about. You battle, you persevere, and you...

Your words are ALWAYS so encouraging. You would genuinely make for a superb therapist. I really cannot emphasize that enough !!! I feel calm again, which helps eleviate everything I'm experiencing, including the sound. Yes, the mental side is so much more destructive. The phantom noise plays...

Well it all started by my left ear becaming infected around mid-July'ish after an earwax blockage. But I only became aware of the whooshing late August time. I can honestly say I've seen no change either way since first noticing it. It's my mental state which appears to be the biggest worry, I'm...

I'm always conscious about how I lay on my pillow when I go to sleep. I'm paranoid about my ears closing up as I believe it might cause some harm for some reason or another. When I wake up, normally around 4am, I'll simply lay there until I drift off again, hoping that whooshing noise doesn't...

Oh my goodness, I thought it was a support group lol🤦 I live in a sleepy town in England, Its such a beautiful and picturesque place. We are blessed to have nice surroundings. Thank you for being a friend and so supportive. 🥲

I really cannot emphasize this enough. Please keep posting! Not just here but on places like reddit too. Your positivity has actually rubbed off on me. A post you recently made on here to a 16 yr old in high distress is a perfect example. So very well thought out, full of hope, caring &...

This story offers so much hope, and really does help debunk this 6 month cut-off theory !! Thank you for sharing it. Honestly, your compassion and empathy is highly appreciated !! In one of your posts you said you had earwax removed earlier this year ? Did you have it irrigated ? I'm wondering...

I don't wish to be all doom & gloom Sonia, I really don't. But I've dropped into a pretty bad depression. I just can't see an escape from this hellhole right now. I'm going around in circles. Its not even particularly loud at the moment but its there, and that frightens me. I'm such a defeatist...

Thank you Sonia. Both links are certainly full of optimism for sure. May I ask, how would you describe your situation regarding tinnitus before this happened ? I read one of your posts describing how you'd lurk here sometimes even without that last encounter. I really do appreciate you. Thank you!

I first became aware of mine a few weeks ago after I had an ear infection. I foolishly continued to play quite loud music through my headphones, so I'm not sure which is the culprit. I've also read how Ibuprofen, which I took during the infection 'could' cause this. I was reading in one of the...

I totally agree about wishing those who recover shared their stories. Positivety is paramount to us. I have had so many dark thoughts, I've even looked into Pegasos recently. Its a scary world, Sonia. But I keep balancing that optimism which does counteract those thoughts. I keep note of them...
