Tinnitus from Unknown Causes, Writing from New Zealand

Hi I'm Edward. I've developed tinnitus two weeks ago and ever since then it's been a struggle for me. Right now my ears are screaming, screeching and luckily getting some sleep.

I'll be seeing an ENT specialist in a few weeks time.

Ever since then my anxiety level has shot up and I'm constantly trying to keep it at bay which is a bit challenging.

I've done quite a number of reading about tinnitus and I really hope and wish that there will be cure or even a great relief to everyone who has it.

I thought I join in to this forum as one of my coping mechanism.

Appreciate if you could tell me how you're handling it.

Anyway, I really wish for everyone's good health and that none of us lose hope.

 

Welcome to the forum Edward. I have ultra high pitched tinnitus from years ago and severe hyperacusis. I was in a mess initially. But now I am living a happy, productive, and absolutely enjoyable life. Never thought it was possible back then in the thick if suffering. So don't panic nor despair. Anxiety and stress can aggravate tinnitus. To know how me and others are doing in a positive way, I encourage you to read up the success stories. People do get better after some time especially if you follow some helpful strategies. Look luck. Take care. God bless.

 

@billie48 Thank you for your reply and words of encouragement. God Bless.
