Ninap - your situation sounds very similar to mine. My tinnitus also virtually disappeared only to return a couple of weeks later. The good news however is that it did eventually disappear after a few months. Mine was an ear infection also, not noise induced as I first thought (fire alarm) Best...

Yes, agreed. Had most of the day today with very mild T that came back to usual level at about 6pm. Can't get used to it all when it's so changeable, appreciate that this *might* be a good sign in terms of future recovery.

I've gone through my whats app messages for the period 10/4 - 30/4 to my mum/friends and "no issues" was an exaggeration. In these WhatsApps I've mentioned things like "slight ringing in ears in the morning " "it's definitely working" "so much better" "hardly notice it" "nearly 100%" etc What...

@Bill Bauer within 48/72 hours of taking the nasal spray decongestant (on 10th April) my symptoms improved. The tinnitus faded and I had days of silence partnered with nights with some faint T but a few days later this went as well. I thought I was pretty much cured. I stopped the nasal...

Anyone had a similar experience? Currently my T is a faint sometime moderate high pitch. It's like my head is plugged into a tiny electrical current. I feel mild vibration sensation sometimes too at the back of the head and forehead. I can cope reasonably during the day although thoughts are...

Ok thanks for the reply. Do you find you pretty much forget about it now or does it still occupy your mind constantly? I've started feeling a tingling, tightening sensation on my head recently, did you have any physical symptoms? Thanks

@Rb86 Hi, How are things now? Cheers Steve

Hi Noticolor, This sounds very similar to my timeline re the nasal spray. I was prescribed it too and yes I had nearly two weeks of no/minimal symptoms before T reappeared. Do you get any respite at all or is yours consistent 24/7? I'm starting to find that mornings I barely notice it but...

Hi all, Idling engine noise that seems to be originating from my left ear also seems to be causing a tingling /vibration across my head. Incredibly annoying, maybe built up anxiety together with tinnitus stress has ramped this up? :(. I get very mild headaches from this too, normally start...

@Bill Bauer Ok thanks for the info. I've taken a few days off, I find this place can be overused and researched and therefore disadvantageous but equally its full of great people with a lot of help to offer. Finding the right balance still. Thank you to all that have helped me so far, I...

Ok thanks didn't realise this was common. I thought you may have symptoms that appeared straight away. I felt no pain at all just slightly uncomfortable, as most people are when a smoke alarm sounds. Yes, it's not worth the risk. I'll sort something out. Another awful night, sub 2 hours:(...

Thank you. No not at all. I have days when putting dishes and glasses in the washer make me grimace and other days when it doesn't seem to affect me. I did plug my ears when I used a set of clippers on my hair a few days ago but that was a day after I felt things were going downhill again. I...

No they've both been together. Idling tinnitus has only been in left ear. I've had the very high pitched shrill in both ears and it feels like across the whole back of my head. The idling tinnitus also is 'physical' I can feel it pulsing although not to my pulse it has got its own agenda.

Do you sleep ok now Bill? Are you still masking or are you able to rest without it?

Thanks man x

Yes both, hair dryer and vacuum cleaner have both been used by me. Do you think they could have caused a spike/different tones to appear?

@Tybs thanks. Appreciate it. Can honestly say I've never been so scared in my whole life and its a bad time to try and look for distractions.

I'm not 100% sure it was acoustic trauma, I literally ran past those smoke alarms, 25 seconds at most. Would that cause trauma? They are standard home alarms after all. I'm guessing that it could be bereavement related or an infection although the hospital doctor said I had no ear wax and no...

[QUOTE="Tinnitus can go away within a few weeks and many people naturally habituate by the time they are seen at ENT[/QUOTE I've had it for 4 weeks today, just can't see it shifting anytime soon though it changes everyday. I've completely lost the 'idling engine' noise today from my left ear...

Really appreciate the replies so thank you so much. My anxiety levels are are of the scale today however, last night was the worse and my T kept me awake most of the night. Couldn't seem to mask it at all. It's loud now whereas I said it's normally a 3/10 during the day, it's now a 8/10. I can...

@Michael Leigh @Bill Bauer Thanks for the replies. Ok, I've just woken up and I'm feeling totally down. I had almost silence last night, whilst watching TV in bed I noticed that I wasn't hearing anything 'underneath' the sound of the program I was watching. When I turned the volume down I just...

I ended up seeing a doctor a couple of weeks ago. He did a basic assessment, questions and looking in my ears (no wax build up, ear drum fine) and after me going through my fire/smoke alarm story he said that T can also be caused by ear infections. Which got be thinking and I do now remember...

Has your tinnitus changed much in that time? Have you got just one tone or two? Hyperacusis - that's oversensitivity to every day sounds right? Sorry learning a lot over last few days.

Hi Dij111, Good to make acquaintance although not the greatest circumstances. I heard that your T started from a fire alarm incident too? Do you mind telling me what happened? Many thanks

Charburchar, Billie and Bill thank you so much for your replies. I'll heed all of your good advice and Bill I've started reading those links so I'll come back to you if I have any questions I very nearly total silence today, went out for a walk with my daughter to the supermarket and when I...

On my birthday, yes my birthday, my mother in law burnt the toast in her annexe setting our 6 fire alarms off (spread evenly around the house). It was Tues March 31st. I had just woken up (and I'm guessing ears were in a sensitive condition) and myself and daughter ran down the stairs to check...
