I need to make an appointment with one but the referral service will take months! I'm not even bothered about the size of them and dont care if people seen them. I just want some good protection. Thank you for your advice.

Can any of you recommend any decent ear plugs? I have some ear-dial ones I bought from amazon. They are ok-ish. I have small ear canals so I struggle to keep general ones in. Also they seem to irritate me. Meaning, when I talk or touch my head etc it's really loud inside. If that makes sense...

This is EXACTLY how I beat my anxiety. I wasted all my 30's to it and the day I dropped my weapons and gave up the fight was the day I started to get better. It wasnt easy but it also wasnt as hard as I thought. The fight was with an invisible man. Fast forward 5 years and anxiety sent his...

Thanks for this information. I'm going to try and get a referral from my Doctor. She gives me the impression that she struggles with Tinnitus herself but her approach is somewhat cold. She tells me I have to,... wait for it..... "Live with it". What a tool. Anyway, thanks again and I will keep...

Really? Well I do have a Doctor's appointment on Friday (my Dr also has tinnitus) so I'll ask her to let them know. She was the one that referred me which I find strange considering she has it too! I'll never have it done again. Ever.

Thank you for your reply and advice regarding the Earol. I shall start using it and hope this is just a build up of ear wax. I haven't done anything to warrant this noise level so hopefully it will calm down.

No I didn't. It was a few months back and I thought they were just irritated. I have managed it for a while but this last few days have been so hard!

Hi, sorry maybe I should have put that I have had them done 3 times but only once since I had the tinnitus. And it was done by a referral from the doctors. A nurse. She did it for a living. Also it was done months ago but it definitely made them worse. But my actual concern is putting oil in...

I've had my ears syringed 3 times now because I have bad wax build up. I don't want to have it done anymore because I think it made my tinnitus worse. Does anybody recommend Earol? I have some but am really afraid to exacerbate my symptoms more. I'm having a really bad few days. It's gone...

Oh crap. Bad few days!

Reading this took me back to my anxiety days. I suffered for 10 years and the only way back to sanity was exactly what you have said here. Allowing it to be there... accepting it... and just letting it do it's worst - only then can you move on from it. It's so hard but so worth it in the end...

Love this story Dan! Im nearly 3 months into Tinnitus and having up and down days. Up and down minutes actually! Your story made me feel positive though and I'll cling onto that for a while. Hope your life is back to normal. It's so true that you don't know what you've got till it's gone - and...

Hi jjflyman I just bought some ear plugs from the BTA but they are huge and hang out of my ears. I do actually have very small ears though. Can you recommend any ear plugs?

Thanks! I have just purchased some ear plugs from the BTA as suggested by Glynis.
