Hi, I'm 74 years old and have had pulsatile tinnitus for 10 months now. I was given a hearing aid by the NHS, which helped me a lot. I felt I had come to terms with the tinnitus and had even begun to forget about it.
I always wore headphones at the hairdresser and at home when drying my hair. This last time, though, I just used wax earplugs. As soon as I left, the tinnitus started up much louder than usual, and I've been very upset and panicky since. I feel it will never return to its usual state.
It's been four days now, but it feels like a lifetime, and I really don't know how to cope anymore. Has anyone had a similar experience?
