Hello! I'm New

Hello everyone! I'm new to the group and obviously faking happiness to mask my misery lol.

I have had tinnitus for 4 months now due to an unknown reason and so glad that I am not alone! My tinnitus seems to fluctuate between pulsatile and continuous and sometimes shifts ears and varies in intensity.

It used to be a low ringing but as of late, it's been really high pitched as well as reactive.

Anyway, any info or input would be welcome and hello everyone!

 

Welcome to the forum. As far as the reason for tinnitus, there are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including by not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum injury, fluid build-up in ears feeling pressured or fullness, sinus infection & congestion, TMJ, TTTS, high blood pressure or blood circulation problem, loud noise exposure or acoustic trauma/shock, head trauma & injury, neck injury or muscle problems, hearing loss, Meniere's Decease, barotrauma from sudden change of air pressure such as during landing & taking off on flights especially with blocked nose causing failure to balance the pressure changes, slapping of the ears, deep grief for the loss of loved ones, untreated sleep apnea, extreme, extended stress, anxiety & panic disorder, etc., etc. T can also be caused or made worse by unhealthy diet such as too much salt, sugar, caffeine, MSG, alcohol etc. or by lacking some mineral or vitamin supplements, such as Magnesium, Zinc, B12, D3 etc.

 

Welcome to the forum. My T also varies in intensity from morning to afternoon. Did you go see an ENT/Audiologist?

 

Thanks for the response guys! I have seen a GP but waiting on a referral to go see a specialist/audiologist in order to try to determine the root cause of the tinnitus. I had no idea so much could cause tinnitus! Im looking forward to getting it resolved due to the fact, Im sure you all are aware, that its disruptive at least. Hopefully, I can get some answers soon enough and once I have then I will share them here as well. Thanks for the reply!
