My Ears

In general when I am laying in bed or in a quiet place I can just hear a ringing sensation..

If I put my finger over my left ear, it is like a hum rather than a 'ring'..

If I put my finger over my right ear, it is a high pitched ring

When I shout I can hear a fluttering sensation in BOTH ears..

Please could anyone shed some light for me? I just want to be my old self again and this makes a mixture of dizziness / tiredness / inability to concentrate & general spaced out feeling for me x

 

Hi, thank you for your reply. It's not really the fluttering or the actual ringing that bother me hugely - it's the side effects.

I'm constantly spaced out and unable to focus, feel very dreamlike and constantly dizzy, just feel out of it. At first I thought I was going mad, it was after I noticed the fluttering and Tinnitus and realised it might be related..

 

How long did it take to feel back to normal? its been about 8-9 months for me now

 

Same here....the more I focus on it the more different tones I hear especially when I stick my fingers in my ears (don't do that)...also some distortion in sound. Stress makes it more bothersome. I have up and downs for almost 2 years now, but I habituated one so I guess it will happen again.

 

That depends on how bothersome you think you T is. For instance at the moment I'm upstairs and can hardly hear it , but hear some randoms electric zaps in my right ear. Very faint, but I get realy frustrated about it because it is a new sound. For some reason my old T, I hardly hear at the moment because my mind is focused on the new sound.
But my old T was very loud. So I guess that what the mind sees as an enemy it will focus on.
