I know what it is like with children. I have a 2 yr old tantrum grandchild and I have to wear ear plugs around him cause he screeches so loud. I really do not understand why for both of us this just started and why for you it suddenly got worse. It frightens me because I am never sure that I...

I am so sorry you are suffering so much. My ear started with one ear ringing and then after a month began in the other ear as well . I had a bad set back after beginning to cope following a extremely noisy MRI scan. The noise level in my ears went really bad again and I had a week of not...

Bryanpen how are you doing? is the T any better for you? I felt that mine was improving slightly then the Noisy MRI scan made it worse again and I have been struggling a bit since.I am doing normal things in my life and still managing without medication, but it is hard at times.I went back into...

Hi it's lorritay.I was just wondering how you are getting on now as our tinnitus was very similar.It's 9 weeks for me now and is still the same, possibly has more periods of hissing noises now and I am sleeping better but still is hard work to cope with.Been to ENT and got exactly the same...
