Hi Everyone

I started having Tinnitus after moving to an old house. I've been told to just live with it. I am looking for ways to tone it down or get some relief.

 

Sorry to hear about you having tinnitus. Perhaps you've had it for a lot longer than you realize and that moving to a new house has just caused you to be more aware of different sounds?

 

It is true I had some ringing going on before moving here. Last year, I ended up in the emergency room. They said it was food poisoning, but I really question that. I noticed, right before, I had high pitched, loud ringing going on, to the point I felt like my head was going to blow right off. Then I awoke with such horrible dizziness, I could barely make it to the bathroom, and that was by crawling. Once I got there, I could not lift my head. I finally told my husband to call the ambulance. The EMT female was not a bit understanding, and dragged me out to the living room where I was placed on a stretcher. I didn't get a lot of understanding at the hospital, from some of the staff either. Others were kind though.

For three or four days after, I would get the dizziness again. I started taking a sea sickness medicine, which put the dizziness into check. Then, after that, I noticed the ringing was gone. Whenever it would start up, though, I would get hot, hear the loud pinging, in my head, then the dizziness.

This has happened since we moved here. I had some medicine left over, so I started taking it every six hours, without fail. Not only did the dizziness cease, but the tinnitus was barely noticeable. I, actually, had some peace for awhile.

I am not a person, who likes taking meds. So I avoid it all cost, but, if I thought it would give me some peace and alleviate this constant din, in my head, I would take it, in a heartbeat.

 

You might have Meneire's disease.
