Ag Agreed this is insane to think God has helped you. What a ridiculous concept. Why did he save your tinnitus, but then kill 78 people in the London fires. What kind of a sick God is he? Sounds more like a devil to do that, but save your Tinnitus. I'm glad its cleared up, because we all know...

weirdly I only hear it there, unless its tbe dead of night then I hear it in the good ear. I'm counting down the days until its quieter, so thanks for the positive vibes @jjflyman

@jjflyman no its the same. If I go into public spaces with background noise my t goes as loud pro rata in my deaf ear. So no it hasn't, although I have got less sensitive to it. I'm hoping it'll slowly quieten down over time. It's 6 months in, and my ENT specialist says its very early days, and...

Hang in there. I suffered single sided deafness at xmas whilst out partying. I'm now deaf in my left ear,and suffer horrendous tinnitus. It actually gets louder in my head when I listen to anything in my good ear, sick joke or what? I thought of suicide but now 6 months in its getting better and...

Hi Guys, I haven't been on the forum for a few weeks. Things have certainly improved, although I must admit the sound is exactly the same, and the reactive T is still reactive. The reason things have improved is that I have changed how I perceive the T. It still blows up in cafes, pubs...

I saw 2 separate Gp's in a week. Annoyingly neither of them suggested steroids. One said it was menieres which it clearly wasn't, and the other said it was a tumour and referred me to get an MRI. I'm gutted that I didn't go to a&e since they may have referred me to an ent quicker. I'm left with...

@GregCA I have seen 2 specialists since the first 2 weeks, and they have told me the window is 48 hrs to a week max. I havent heard of a 2 month window. Also the Baha would conduct the hearing across to the the right ear, and play the sounds through the good ear

@glynis Wow that sounds great. Especially since at the moment all i want is to be as I was previously. ;-( I've been referred to a Tinnitus team at Queens hospital in Bham, and hopefully they will be offering CBT. Is that what you did, or di you just naturally habituate via brain neuroplasticity

Following my ENT visit, he annoyed me saying that the GP that I saw should have offered me steroids. I've been told this by 2 people now after the event. Great. Too late!! He has offered a trial of Baha, but it looks really serious, and I'm not sure that it will help. He has also recomended...

I'm new to this tinnitus thing. I went deaf in December in my left ear, and have had tinnitus in my head ever since. The tinnitus on its own isn't too bad, except at bed times and when I am quiet. The problems I have is when I go in to loud areas, mainly bars, cafes etc, then my tinnitus spikes...
