    Affected Going to Work?

    Hi there. I'm a Manager in a call centre and I had three month off work initially and it helped me adjust to T. I went back to work 5 weeks ago and I did a phased return for 2 weeks just working part time hours, which helped me to adjust back to work. I've found it not too bad actually; better...

    New and Scared

    Hi Jelena, I was where you are now just two months ago. I was so scared and felt completely helpless, I just couldn't imagine being able to live my life with this awful sound 24/7. My body was exhausted from no sleep and my anxiety was through the roof. I'm now three months in with T and things...

    Tinnitus? No More!

    Hi Gaurav No not the same process. I think mine has just settled down/reduced with time thankfully. I take a small dose of diazapam a day and a few supplements (NAC, vit C, zinc, magnesium, vit B and D) but that's it really . I take 15mg of mirtazapine at night to help sleep and I find that it...

    Tinnitus? No More!

    I'm really pleased for you Harry. Ive had T for 3 months now and it had reduced in volume some what. I'm hoping it continues to reduce and like you becomes barely noticeable. Can I please ask how your T started?

    The Ringing Disappeared a Second Time and Hasn't Come Back

    I am really happy for you! That's great news. I keep trying to think that mine will go soon and too am eating healthier, cut out caffeine etc. I hope everyday that I am as lucky as you. Can I ask how your T started please? And when it went away, was it gradual or did you just wake up one...

    Rheumatoid Arthritis and Tinnitus

    Hello @Dr. Nagler, I started with T 5 weeks ago now at the end of a sever ear infection in both ears. I also have had RA For about 5 years now and beginning to think that this might also be related. I am on Methotrexate for RA and also wondered if this could have caused it as it is ototoxic. I...

    ENT Appointment — What to Expect and Ask?

    Hi @jeffie7 the ENT never mentioned anything like that or even offered and MRI actually. He mustn't have been concerned that that could be the cause or I'm sure he would have said something. However I can understand why sometimes they do want to check for tumors. My best friends brother had...

    ENT Appointment — What to Expect and Ask?

    Hi @Twitch it was ok actually. He was really nice. I had my hearing tested and it's perfect so I was happy that I don't have any hearing loss. He's referred me for CBT and they've just called today to arrange an initial assessment tmrw. He told me what I already knew to be fair; that there is...

    ENT Appointment — What to Expect and Ask?

    How do you mean complicated ? Do you mean the cause of it or the sounds you hear (sorry for all the questions)
