    [Danny Boy Memorial Fund] In Loving Memory of Danny Boy

    It's taken me a while to get my head around writing this. Just like many others on this site Danny Boy was one of the first members to reach out to me when I developed tinnitus 3 years ago. I have since habituated and it barely bothers me these days, but that is a whole other post. However, if...

    Tinnitus Acting UP

    Go to the doctors to rule out any type of ear infection. You may be run down with everything you're coping with at the minute which may leave your immune system a little low. I used to experience numbness in my right ear whenever it would get infected. Hope you're managing to get some rest. X

    What Kind(s) of Tinnitus Does This Sound Like?

    Hi Hil, Your morse code sound tinnitus sounds exactly like mine. I developed it in June after a bout of severe ear infections that perforated my ear drum. Mine has steadily improved over the 7 months that I've had it and I still hope that one day it will disappear altogether. I'm suspect I...

    Feeling Proud!

    Just taught my first Yoga class in 7 months since developing tinnitus....never thought I would be able to do that again. Feeling well chuffed with myself! Things can get back to normal!! It's been a slog, but so worth it. Anyway....just thought I'd share!

    Something That Might Help...

    Hi folks.....I have finally had a chance to update my blog this week. Focusing on how we can practise Savasana (relaxation) with tinnitus. Apologies for any grammar, spelling mistakes etc, but really wanted to get this published for people sooner rather than later. The lovely @glynis gets a...

    Something That Might Help...

    Hi @eve88 Sorry for my late reply....I've been away for a few days. Thanks for your lovely words and sharing your experience with me! I do believe Yoga has helped me in reducing the volume of my tinnitus and has certainly helped me overcome the anxiety around it. Yep, savasana can be a...

    Ear Infection?

    I reckon once the fluid clears you will begin to notice an improvement in your spike. Ears can take a looooonnnngggg time to heal. Since my last infection I still have days were it feels full then the next day it feels clear again....very unpredictable! I think you're best bet is to focus on...

    Hi lovely Tinnitus Talk folk, So I have had tinnitus now for 6 months caused by an ear infection. Since developing tinnitus I have been through the usual loop of anxiety and depression, but thankfully seem to be heading in a more positive direction now! I am a Yoga teacher and have relied...

    Ear Infection?

    Hi Logan, Sorry to hear that you are still having a nasty spike. Mine did eventually calm down and I'm pretty much back to baseline now. I had to go a couple of rounds of some pretty strong antibiotics though to eventually shift all the infection. My ear still doesn't feel quite right...
