    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    I don't understand this occasional tinnitus that I've just read about on here. It consumes me every day and night of my life, I can't sleep through a night. It's hell on earth. And if you just have one sound to contend with and can be masked, then count yourself lucky. I have 4 sounds, and...

    After two and a half years, I'm getting more sounds than the thump and the hiss, I get tones now, which I didn't have before. I honestly cannot believe nothing has improved after all this time, but instead got worse. How did you injure with an ear plug?

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    Thanks, Mine was caused by ENT tests 12 months ago, and it's not improving whatsoever, so not strictly noise induced, but I have hyperacusis from it also. Cortisone does what exactly, for tinnitus? How long can anyone wait it out when you have highs and low noises in your head every day for over...

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    Has anyone with tinnitus on Tinnitus Talk had any benefit whatsoever from having an MRI/MRA scan and did it aggravate your tinnitus? I assume magnetic fields aren't ideal when we have a condition such as we do. Is anyone on here glad they had it done, or felt it’s a waste of time and money and...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    As stated in this thread, mine was induced by an audiology test, not self inflicted by sounds. All of the sounds I now have a year on, were not there until the day of the test. Despite my doctor insulting my intelligence by saying it might be a 'coincidence' that it happened the same day as the...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    Thanks, I don't hear much from people with different varying sounds. It doesn't look great if I'm honest. It was a year Saturday just gone, and there is no improvement whatsoever. I think anger takes over most when it's inflicted on you by a so called medical professional when in reality...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    Sadly, it's as bad now as it was 11 months ago. I really don't know what I can do now. One other on here has said 12 - 18 months and it should get better, but when it sometimes gets even worse, it's very hard to imagine it ever improving or going away, which is obviously ideal. The worst day of...

    Using Minoxidil / Rogaine for Hair Loss — Impact on Tinnitus?

    Be good to know from people their experiences, I've lost half a head of hair BECAUSE of the stress of tinnitus, the misery, anxiety and depression, sleepless nights, bad diet all because of tinnitus. Vicious circle really. Will it make tinnitus worse... what's to do with Minox? The depression is...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    I am sorry, yes, it’s truly unbearable, I’ve not had one day in 8 months without this thumping and high whine going on. Each day is just filled with anxiety and as if it’s not bad enough to cope with, we’ve got selfish neighbours to contend with as well, heightening the hyperacusis. It's a real...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    Unfortunately, I think worse than when it was done 8 months ago, but thank you, and very true words. When did you have this done? Like we don't have enough to cope with Hyperacusis is an added non bonus Thanks for this Lane, and I wish the best for you too. I suppose because I've not had any...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    @akirakurosawa Not to put too much of a downer on your experience, Sorry by the way, I wish you'd have read my thread first... I am coming up to 8 months since the worst decision of my entire life, having that test done. Doctors protect doctors and the usual crap they talk. I've never been more...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    Hi people. Sorry for the absence, I just had nothing positive to say to help others and thought people would be bored of hearing me say... Nothing has got better for me. Bill, yes and 7 months on, still feel that pressure now. Capstan, do you just have the high ring, not the low boom with it...

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    That’s my point. There wasn’t loud sound. It was the pressure that’s done the damage. And it still hurts. 5 months later. The noise is raging and unbearable daily, but the pressure is also still present.

    A Test (Maybe Tympanogram?) at the ENT Department Made My Tinnitus Much Worse

    The one I had was a Tympanogram yes. No loud noises no. What is 'evoked potential'? On a quick Google, they don't look like sealed earbuds that go in the ears, they look like pads on the head? Not ears.
