The next time someone tells you to just try and forget about it tell them it's like forgetting you've got chronic toothache 1. It's constant 24/7 2. It's all consuming 3. You can't concentrate on anything because of it 4. There's no way you can be in a good mood or laugh Unfortunately as we...

Have you tried the local park? Especially at this time of year with the wind rustling all the leaves. Think maybe if you find something to take your mind off it over time you may learn to Feel for ya x

And if by chance that one person just happens to be fabulously wealthy consider a donation hehe

Well it was more a process of elimination. After my accident I initially thought that was the cause. Then wondered if it was the medication I was prescribed. I even thought because I was confined to my bedroom I was just noticing it more. The shampoo was the last on the list and by this time...

All I'm explaining is my experience. I can ASSURE you the spike was caused by the shampoo. Maybe a point worth mentioning is that my ear has always held water and builds up a lot of wax. When the water decides to trickle out it absolutely stinks. On more than one occasion when I've been driving...

Hi all. After over 10 years of relative peace my tinnitus returned with a vengeance after I was involved in an accident. At this point I'm not sure if it was the accident or the medication that caused the spike. Anyway the spike seems to have subsided now but the tinnitus is still consuming just...

Thanks for the replies. Couple of points to add 1. I noticed that for the few days while I was in hospital the tinnitus was virtually non existent (calm before the storm) 2. Its the pitch that is the annoying thing which as gone from a whooshing sound to a nails down a blackboard sound Is this...
