    Is It Normal If Tinnitus Keeps Getting Worse?

    Has Anyone Got Tinnitus for Unknown Reason?

    I first had an exposure to loud noise in 2015 and within a couple of months I could barely hear a thing, very easily lived with that, normal noises would never bother me, heck I have a race car with more or less a straight pipe and never annoyed me once. Then all of a sudden 2 months ago the...

    Has Anyone Got Tinnitus for Unknown Reason?

    Has anyone ever got tinnitus for no reason? I know mine was from a loud club. Then it calmed down to virtually nothing. I’m having issues at the moment. I’m confident I’ll get sorted. But has anyone ever got tinnitus that’s stayed with them permanently and consistently loud for no reason...

    Saw Private ENT Specialist Today

    Surely if you’ve got no hearing loss, no infection, no disorders etc it shouldn’t be there. There’s symptoms with me, lots of pressure in my head that came out of the blue when the ringing got bad, so something isn’t right. Anyone I’ve seen on here with bad tinnitus seems to know the cause.

    Saw Private ENT Specialist Today

    I’ve had cancer in my family before but hoping it’s not that, my tinnitus is very loud, over the past 2 months it started to gradually get louder in left ear and the pressure built at same time, can’t be a coincidence imo. Pressure isn’t there 24/7 but never is it fully away.

    I saw an ENT specialist today. I paid for a private one. He says zero ear infection left, no fluid, redness etc. and believes a vent in my ear will relieve the pressure in my head that he believes is causing the strain on my left ear. Booked in hopefully next week for a head scan to see what...

    What Kind of Masking Do You Use to Cope with Tinnitus?

    What do you guys do with really bad tinnitus to cope with the ringing? I’ve got an ear infection and possibly an ongoing issue and it hiked up to a very loud noise a couple of days ago. Before it was manageable but now I can’t sleep and it’s really affecting me mentally. Any tips on what...

    Tinnitus Louder Than Ever — Ear Infection

    Been doing a bit of coughing and fullness in mouth of I’m guessing fluid it’s not mucas. New tablets maybe doing their thing but feel a little nauseous. Not really eating properly that’s next thing to address. Can’t wait to this settles down again. I really don’t know how people with it 10/10...
