Cause of Tinnitus
Unknown
Hi everyone. I'm a 35years old new baked mum of 2 months old baby. I had tinnitus (in one ear) for about one year. I had a rough start like everyone else in here. Was depressed and it took me awhile to get back to normal life.

But eventually I did and my tinnitus was almost gone.... until last night. It's like starting all over again. Just I have even more different sounds in my ear now ( low pitch came as a new one)Feeling nauseous, feeling anxious, can't sleep. And super worried about my future. Would I be able to take care of my new born daughter:(

Anyone experiencing the same situation? That it came back after one year habituation?
 
First of all, congratulations on becoming a mother :)

Tinnitus is a mysterious thing, and sometimes changes can be explained, and sometimes it can not.
My first thought in your case was that you might have been under more stress lately due to the babys need etc.!?
My second thought was, have you been taking any medication the last couple of weeks?
 
Congratulations from me too!
It could well be down to hormones as your monthly menstruation gets back to normal and can take upto a year to settle .
Try stay as relaxed as you can and take up family offers helping out give you a break if not slept to well .
We are here around the clock to support you .
Love glynis
 
I agree with Glynis and think it's probably hormones. I know that doesn't make it any easier, though!! I'm so sorry you have to deal with tinnitus during this both wonderful yet stressful time, but remember it went away last time an will probably go away again once your body gets back on a regular cycle.
