It's probably different for everybody and I know it's easier said than done but for me the more stressed I feel and he more I focus on the tinnitus the worse it tends to be. Only advice I can offer is to not forget the things that you enjoy and to not let yourself be limited by it. I've had it...

Few months later and sadly still along for the ride...Had a scan with contrast fluid and that showed no vascular abnormalities. Sound seems to be a bit better on average though worse when stressed/tired though I may just have gotten a bit better at dealing with it. Like now it feels like...

Mouth seems dryer than usual despite drinking plenty of fluids and a blood/thyroid test is next on the list. Haven't had any radiation therapy in the past.

So far it has put me through the wringer. ENT suspect it might be pulsatile tinnitus but isn't quite certain...Seems to be a certain rythm to it instead of being a steady sound. Does get louder after lying down (which makes sleeping hell) and can feel the veins in my ears throb etc. They saw a...

Just gave me audistim...Going to go as I am about teady to faint. Kind of hoping to just get taken to the hospital for a few days...

Went to the ent and while friendly utterly useless... Nose spray for my sinuses due to cold and a pill to take for a month. Asked about veins throbbing in right ear and possible vascular causes, how it seems much worse when and after lying down but told me to go back to gp and need to book...

I'm....sorry....seems I had a panic attack. It's the first time I ever had one so it caught me by surprise....Does explain why I was feeling so restless all day...Guess it's the anxiety of tomorrows ENT meeting bubbling up.

I honestly don't think I can manage that...I'm generally calm, introverted and enjoy silence....This sound seems to be shaking throughout me making me feel like I'm crumbling to shards as it robs me of every bit of strength. Can't sleep, can't eat much, biking to work is hell, lack all focus...

I got tinnitus 2 weeks ago and it has been hell so far...Got an ENT appointment tomorrow but reading some topics here I hold out little hope....I can't imagine living like this...Feel as if I should just off myself if this persists any longer Sorry for being so weak....

Well my GP knows and gave me a referrel though I wish he'd done that a week earlier as it seems he doesn't know much about it and didn't provide the meds I see recommended here often. My father knows, a few close friends and some coworkers. Seems to range a bit between "eh...well that sucks to"...

How would you go about getting use of one then? Ent have them so would seem they would need to do an examination first.

I get your point that it is a reality and feel free to call me childish but it isn't one I'm ready to accept. Was ready to start crying when I told a coworker about it. That being said I know many are worse off so don't want to dramatise, just not dealing well with this. I'm also worried my...

So I have this ringing sensation in my right ear for about a week and a half. Went to a doctor last week Friday and this Friday to get a referral for an ENT. The ringing I heard initially seems fainter and at this point it is less a sound than feeling something twitch/flutter in my ear. I can...

The waiting time for an ENT is over a month....seems the benefits of HBO might be past by then as my tinnitus started 1,5 weeks ago...

Currently sounds like a radio trying and failing to find a tune....this is maddening...Its that I know it wouldn't help or about ready to just glue my ear shot or something....
