He had a bad fever, had to have a few days off work, but he’s fine now. Of course most of these people don’t have tinnitus, but I think it’s still important to point out.

I’m a nurse and I’m getting my COVID-19 vaccine next week. IMO it’s the risk of getting COVID-19 outweighs the risk of having the vaccine. Talked to about 50 staff members who have had it and only one had bad side effects. Any other nurses getting it?

I have a bad UTI and I’ve been given Trimethoprim as I’ve had a bad reaction to Nitrofurantoin in the past. Has anyone had a bad experience with this antibiotic? Can it make tinnitus worse? As I can see a very rare side effect is tinnitus! Please help ☹️

So I’ve had a cold for the past week and as always my ears have got a bit clogged up. They’re definitely not blocked but I can feel that there is fluid in there. I’m supposed to be travelling up to London this weekend, and while it’s not an incredibly fast train it does go through a lot of...

Thanks for the replies everyone, you’ve been very helpful!

Ah yeah, I think it’s a good idea to put off any jabs if your not 100%. I’m planning to get mine done soon If I’m going to have it.

Oh no sorry I forgot to mention that, I got it from a virus a couple years ago now. I was just trying to find out people’s expirrences or opinions:)

I’m thinking of getting the flu jab this year, and I just wanted to know if anyone has had any bad reactions? I got pretty sick last year with the flu and unfortunately also gave it to my mum, who decided to have the flu jab this year and has been fine. I work in a hospital as well, so that...

Thanks everyone for the replies! There are some small cinemas near me that i think I would go to, and I think I will go to a quieter film like comedy or romance first of all, haha. I have been to bars and such that have been far too loud and just left, so if I find that with the cinema I’ll just...

Before getting tinnitus I was always someone who loved going to the cinema and ever since I got tinnitus (over 2 and a half years ago) I’ve been too scared to go back as I know they can often be around 100-110 dB! I have now purchased some noise cancelling headphones that are NRR 28. Do you...

Still got the spike unfortunately, might be the tiniest bit better but hoping for the best! Hope all of your spikes go down too Had a spike that lasted over 6 weeks once so hoping this is just a long spike again

I hope your spike goes down too! I’m just a worried that it’s not going to go away. Yes, I was thinking that as everyone has had awful hayfever recently but I would have thought it would improve when I’m inside?

So I’ve had tinnitus for some years now. Unfortunately I’m having a very bad spike right now, one of the worst I’ve ever had and what’s worrying me is it’s a constant sound instead of my usually tinnitus which fluctuates over a few seconds. I also have no idea what caused this spike. I went...

Oh, Can I ask what app you use? I think I will just go 24 hours without being in a loud environment, if for nothing else just to make myself feel better.
