That's the plan-try to habituate to the T wail a small part of me still holds out hope that it could just be temporary. I got the hearing aid, and it's really nice for giving my poor left ear a break, but then I hear the damn T in the right ear. My audiologist says that since the noise in in my...

Thanks for the replies. I read your thread billie, and there is a lot of good stuff in there. And I really hope it does go away, but I'm trying to learn to deal with it like it's going to be a life long thing.

where do I begin? So I'm new to this tinnitus thing but I'm no stranger to ear problems, mostly ear infections. I had tubes in my ears as a little baby, and I've been prone to ear infections my entire 34 years of life. Then this past December I had an episode of vertigo that sent me to the...

Congratulations to you. My T started a month ago from an ear infection, hopefully I'll have the same end result as you...

Some days are better than others, but it's still early on.

Thanks, I really hope the ENT is wrong and this living Hell will eventually pass. I guess on average I would rate my T between a 5 and a 7...

Thanks for the reply. I went to the ENT last week. Turns out I have some minor hearing loss in the upper range, and thew ENT said that was what caused my tinnitus and that it was for life. I left the doctor in suck a despondent state of mind that day. Thanks for the encouragement John, I need it...

Thanks for the good info. The possibility of a hearing aid has given me a ray of hope so I hope it all works out for me...

I'm actually talking to a hearing aid place as I'm typing this. I hope they aren't too far out of my price range... EDIT-So the hearing aid place has some tinnitus specific devices. They're expensive, and I don't know if my insurance will cover it (they cover hearing aids, but I don't know...

LOL thanks. That;s why I've decided not to go.

Lifelong history of ear infections and the one vertigo spell.

So I spoke with someone at my local university's ENT clinic. I explained my whole history to them, and they were actually able to pull up my chart as well. They said that the ENT I saw yesterday was right, tinnitus caused by mild hearing loss. I'm welcome to come in for a second opinion, but...

Thanks. As it turns out my local university has four neurotologists on staff, I'm just making sure that my insurance would cover the appointment. If I do go there I'll defiantly emphasis my history over the T, and truthfully even if the T went away right now getting my ears checked out by a...

My mistake, thanks for the correction. :)
