- Cause of Tinnitus
- Labyrinthitis (Inner ear infection)
So 3 month ago i started out on TTalk absolutely DISTRAUGHT as i had suspected Labyrinthitis, Tinnitus, vertigo, sickness and Hearing loss in one ear. I wanted to share with you what I feel is MOST definatly a success story.
I cant even begin to tell you how low, upset, down and suicidal i felt a matter of meer months ago. i wouldn't eat, couldn't sleep, trawled the internet for a cure... Crying every day and calling the doctors.
The vertigo and sickness went in 3 weeks and now 3 months on im left with hearing loss in my right ear and tinnitus.
3 month on (which is such a short time) I can hand on heart say I'm fine! Feeling back to normal apart from the hearing loss which makes things a bit difficult but rarely difficult. I don't focus on the ringing like i used to its not at the forefront of my mind and sometimes i just completely forget its there... yeah when i first read people saying that i didn't believe it but YES it actually happens and its only been 3 months for me.
I was so upset that i would never be able to listen to music again or attend parties but ...Guess what you CAN go to concerts!! Since all mine started i have been to pubs, clubs, parties, live music and drank alcohol! Honestly just go out and live your life as normal THAT is what helps for sure.
Heres what i have done sine having these issues up until now and i believe all this has helped me greatly
- Had a hearing test - Had it explained in detail to me
- Had an MRI to rule out AN
- Started taking anti anxiety tablets - Very low dose (these really helped) i will be weaning myself off these in a months time
- Started TRT, Within 2 sessions i found this really helpful, i was given a white noise generator which i worse religiously for a week now i feel like i honestly don't even need to wear it, i can drown out the T myself by not thinking about it
- STOPPED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET - I cant stress how important it is not to do this, I only now come on TTalk to give positive messages i don't google for a cure or help any more
- Most IMPORTANTLY get back to being YOU! Do things with your family, on your own... you can do ANYTHING you want to... it will only make your T worse if YOU let it!
I hope this has helped everyone that feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel xxx
