So My Tinnitus Went Bilateral...

So... just after a few days from my tinnitus anniversary, now I have tinnitus in my right ear too!

There is a hissing and a noise.
It sucks, but.. what the hell!

It all started on Friday, all of a sudden my right ear cracked and it produced a mild pain, whenever I touched it felt like I was doing some sorta damage, like if I had something stuck there, like fluid... I don't know.

Then on Saturday this went away, on Sunday it came back.

And by Tuesday the noise started.

The good thing about this is that I might have finally found the reason behind my tinnitus....
Sleep Apnea, I've been waking up in the middle of the night, for these past nights since it started.
Just like a year ago when this whole shit started.

There must be something going on, related with the hyperactivity of the brain at night, because it's not receiving enough oxygen... idk... well this is my theory, of course I could be wrong.

So I have some sorta of endolymphatic hydrops caused by sleep apnea.

I'm glad that you have a lead to find the cause of your T, that may help you get rid of it.
How do you deal with the new form of your T? It's not too difficult?

 

everything's better in stereo

 

Well, its a bit quiet... i dont think i can tell the diference now that im at the office...maybe tonight i will notice a difference, thanks Julien!

 

Very sad to hear that your T got bilateral after you were so much improved dealing with it.

 

Yes, well im gonna miss having a "good ear"
this past months it got soo good, so soft and now its in both ears, but... well at least now i know what might be going on.. thanks
