I am 60 and in good health, no meds.
My tinnitus has been around for a year or more, but has become very "load" in the last month or so.
Best description I can find -
Sounds like a dentist's drill.
Soft in the morning when I wake up, like the drill is in the next room, but progressively loader, the pitch is just lower.
Sometimes I can "feel" the tinnitus in my head, best described as grinding of small pebbles or wet send, not painful, but very noticeable.
Load sounds makes it worse.
Then it can drop in volume later in the day.
If I get absorbed in doing something(concentrate), I become unaware of the tinnitus, which is good.
Other symptoms that are coming and going are
headaches (not migraine),
eyesight sometimes better than others,
short term memory loss (can be terrible),
downgraded eye-hand co-ordination,
typing goes for a loop,
unsteady on my feat.
Body aches - especially the legs.
I have not taken any medication (except the odd headache tablet), and is not keen to start.
If anybody has similar symptoms, and can advise what helped -would be much appreciated.
If a diagnosis - other than the obvious - is known, kindly advise.
Thanks in advance,
CG
