Hello, I am so sorry to hear this and I can also relate. I first acquired tinnitus in January 2020 and my whole world came crumbling down. At first my partner was very supportive and showed me empathy that I have never seen before but slowly he started getting bored of it; telling me that I...

I first started hearing tinnitus around this time two years ago and strongly believe it was brought on by stress as we have been suffering with infertility. I want to give you newbies some hope and I am happy to report that it really has got a lot better. It is ever so slightly there but...

Hey, so sorry you are suffering with this. I want to offer you some hope. I first came down with tinnitus in January 2020 and wow, my life changed before I knew it. I saw about 4 different ENTs and they all said the same... ‘stress induced’. Going through a lot at the moment and have been...

Hey, Oh my goodness, I am so very sorry to read this thread. I first acquired tinnitus in January 2020 but I have been incredibly lucky and it seems to have diminished a lot and to be honest I’m not even sure it is there anymore but because it caused great stress and anxiety I feel like my...

I totally agree @twa this is not healthy at all and it really worries me. To be honest in the state I was in last year if someone had been giving me advice on how to commit suicide I can honestly say I may have taken it given the state I was in. Thank goodness I didn’t as life has gotten a whole...

I am so sad to read this thread - it is truly devastating. I developed tinnitus about 15 months ago and I had totally lost it mentally. I was signed off work (I am a nanny and couldn’t possibly look after the children). My husband was so concerned he took me to A&E (I literally don’t recall this...

Hi there, I am really really struggling at the minute. It could be because it is coming up to my one year anniversary of having tinnitus and I honestly believed I wouldn’t still be bothered by it let alone posting on here. I have an extremely low drone sound in my right ear which is extremely...

Hi there, I hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread. I have had the low pitched hum for around 11 months and it’s been hell. I have just noticed something though... when I hang my head and just look downwards it totally STOPS - literally can’t hear it at all. What on earth could this...

Hi @Samantha R, Just wanted to chat to you about this awful sound I have in my right ear. The one where it sounds like there is a car engine idling outside. You had this, didn’t you? Anything you can recommend? Lucy

Hi @kyles, that's really interesting regarding the hair cells being tested. Whereabouts are you based? I don’t suppose you have any idea what the test was called? I am very interested. Thanks!

Sorry this has happened to you. Hope it will improve! How did the audiologist test your inner hair cells?

@GregCA I have just had the blood work and the Audiogram done so far. Are you able to read my introductory thread? It will tell you a little more about the background. I am awaiting a date for an MRI but would be very surprised if there is anything going on. Unknown Cause of Tinnitus, Lasted...

Hi @GregCA, this is true. I’ve had the works. The ENT just tells me it’s stress induced but who knows. I can deal with my left ear as it’s extremely quiet but the right ear is dreadful, it’s a really loud drone noise. I’ve decided to start back up with the nasal sprays and see if that makes a...

Hey @Ben Winders, thanks for reaching out. Thanks for the tips, I may well try them. To be honest in the day the sound is covered up by normal every day life and I am distracted and busy with work etc it’s just when I am having down time or about to go to sleep I hear it and it gets louder and...

Hi there @Samantha R, thank you so much for reaching out, it is so kind of you. I have done an extensive amount of research this morning and have been reading about MEM so it is interesting you have messaged me about it. What is scary, is that there is no real treatment for it? Really frightens...
