I think I finally figured out how to send my message through, so you might get it but might not haha. The gist of it is it turned out to be an autoimmune problem not an infection. I still have it and don't love but have found ways to live with it and be ok for the most part.

Hi I just wanted to let you know I got your PM but the forum site won't let me post a reply and keeps saying it looks like SPAM, not sure why. I don't go on this site anymore but just wanted you to know I wasn't ignoring your message on purpose.

How many out there are parenting with severe tinnitus? I'm currently staying with my parents due to being post-surgery and having some health complications that caused tinnitus. I am very depressed as tinnitus increased post surgery that was supposed to help. Its still early days and I hope and...

I've taken melatonin and didn't have any effect on my tinnitus. I think T tends to go up and down for many people no matter what they do, and oftentimes the change is ascribed to something that immediately preceded it but that may not be the cause. I would say for sleep melatonin is probably the...

It could be related or it could be other things. Do you have an ear or sinus infection? Any pain or pressure in the ears? I would go to a doctor, preferably an ENT, as soon as you can. Best lof luck, I hope this passes soon for you.

I have been having the same issue. It's like my right ear is threatening to develop T. It will be there only for a few seconds and I honestly have a hard time telling which ear its in now. If T is in the brain and not the ears, it makes sense that it could jump from side to side. Where you hear...

Thank you, you're a kind soul. You're right, I don't know what the heck is going on. I don't have the "typical" onset of acoustic trauma, and I thought mine would quickly get better or at least stay where it started, but thats not what happened. I know I need to give all these procedures at...

I couldn't read this and not post. I know you say that you don't write this to garner sympathy and I can respect that. I know I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I'm glad you're still alive, and you ARE still fighting T as we speak.

Darryl, It's good to hear your surgery went fairly well. I'm glad you're staying positive, I hope to get to that place as well. I have a feeling the ringing was less for me at first bc the anasthesia dulled all my senses. You said that you already have ear tubes, as in grommets? Can I ask you...

Thank you. Today is just a day where I've hit a bad low. I have an ENT appointment Tuesday maybe I will just get those grommets/tubes out and hopefully T would return to its previous state. I'm just to a point where I feel suicidal. I was coping, I was adjusting but this has really dealt a...

My tinnitus came on during an ear infection It's mainly improved when I've been on prednisone (which I can't continue) and for some reason it improved right after surgery. Maybe it was the anasthesia making my brain not fully functional so it wasn't picking up the sound. It's hard for me to...

You're right, I totally have a love/hate relationship with this forum. If I'm having a pretty good day you won't see me on here. Many people on here have been a great support, but when I do feel good I try to take a break and focus on real life. I guess it's just because this is still new, and...

I don't think you caused this. There are many people who listen to things at loud volumes and at most get mild tinnitus. Sometimes our bodies just turn on us. I'm also angry as I tried to go for a walk every other house had someone out with a stupid leaf blower. I am not bothered by the noise...

I'm having a very difficult day today with tinnitus. Does anyone else struggle when their tinnitus goes up and down? I know it's silly, but I feel like the tinnitus toys with me sometimes. It improves and I feel hopeful and then it goes to worse than before and once again I fly into panic mode...

After surgery the T was pretty quiet all day and into Saturday. It could have been the anaesthesia. My hearing was no better but I was feeling hopeful. Then yesterday night I started to feel some bad pain and the T was ratcheting up. I took 2 ibuprofen which I know can exacerbate T but for me...
