hello friends. I just wanted to update you guys on my situation. Since i last was able to post i have had an MRI scan on my ears and brain and the very good news is that i do NOT have acoustic neuroma ! And my brain is fine . What a relief ! I still have the T BUT over the last couple of weeks...

Friends, for the last few days my tinnitus has gradually eased off! It has been so quiet for several hours each day that I can hardly tell it is there! Oh dear lord the relief! I cannot tell you how happy I am! I still get the odd hours where it rages but it is far better for now. I am so happy...

Cheers Sam , at least i aint alone then . Just had an MRI this evening so the long wait for results now

Hiya , ok i just had the MRI scan . Yes indeed it was very loud . The machine buzzed, banged and beeped very loudly for 8 minutes. I had a cage over my head and face and it was very claustraphobic . It had no effect on my T . Glad its over and now the long wait for results!

@Penate So sorry you are suffering Penate . I too am in T hell . It fills my workd 24/7 with no relief no hope of masking . It has put a stop to all my hobbies and taken the joy from my life. I keep hoping it will stop one day or that it will level out so i can habituate it. Dont give up hope...

I have TMJ and i get swelling and a lot of aching . Is a splint one of those gum shield type things? My dentist gave me one of those but it just hurts my teeth and i cannot wear it. My dentist did not seem to know anything about TMJ. Really . He just said the gaurd will protect me from teeth...

My worse tinnitus ear feels like there is something in it all the time and often hurts. Is this common? Cheers

hi friends , I have an MRI today to hopefully rule out A.N. I am having a lot of facial numbness today on the side of my worst T ear . This is my majof worry ! I hope it is just stress and not a symptom of A.N Last night my once good ear started humming and buzzing loudly all night and both...

Thanks for the support Candy.. Lee

@GregCA I totally agree Greg. For me there is no masking it or forgetting it EVER. T fills my world , it totally overwhelmes me . It deafens me almost.

@Martin69 Thanks so much Martin. It really does help to know I am not suffering alone. There are some remarkable people in this group . How i hate this affliction. Just lately it is 10/10 - 24/7 . Impossible to ignore or mask . Impossible to think for more than a few minutes .I want to scream...

So sorry to know you are suffering so badly Dan. This forum is great . I have had such wonderful empathy and support . There are some really hood people here. I am starting to try to work out what if anything spikes my T . I do have a lot of salt in my diet so willworl on reducing that. I am...

Aww thank you guys . It really does help to share experiences. So miserable right now . Both ears screaming both hurting . Got some very tough days shead as my wife and constant companion returns to full time work . Also the winter looming , dark by late afternoon here in England . SIGH . I...

I am fed up of people around me ( well meaning i know) telling me not to focus on the T and it will go away ! Mine is so loud and all consuming that that is just not possible ! I have no choice but to hear it day and night . It fills my entire world. I have yet to find anything at all that will...

Me too . I get that horrible feedback sound as if from a giant speaker or microphone at a rock concert. It hurts my ears. I find it very distressing. Worse than the hiss etc. Best of luck .

I have discovered something weird . If my wife uses a certain cup to make tea , when she stirs the cup my tinnitus drops to almost nothing ! It has to be that cup and it HAS to be tea in it ! It is when the spoon hits the side of the cup that my tinnitus drops . I wonder if it is something to...

Aha I never thought if that thanks. I guess it could be anything

Do any of you guys get very itchy inner ears? I do even though my Dr says there is no infection present. It drives me nuts.

Fed up

Cheers will do

I have had a horrible day. The tinnitus has been loud, my right ear humming, my ears feel like they need to pop all the time and I have a huge pressure in my head for the first time. The pressure makes me feel very uncomfortable indeed and a bit scared, I feel very restless and cant even watch...

@Marie79 Hi Marie , definately ask your dentist and or Doctor about TMJ . My ENT says I have TMJ I grind my teeth insanely when I sleep and if I get angry .I even clench my jaws without realizing during the day. My teeth are all cracked because of it and the jaw and face pain is dreadful ...

Well done Rhea ! So glad it went well for you . I too was at the dentist recently and had some dreaded drilling done but it was ok . I even feared the numbing injection woukd set something off but it was ok too . My NHS dentist is excellent and he has tinnitus too so knows the score ! Ok you...

This past few days my 'good ear' has started to make a low pitched humming sound on and off mostly when I am tired. It is getting louder and lasting longer. It started last night again and I expected it to be gone when i woke (I did actually get a few hours sleep for a change) but no, it is...

@Sam Bridge Hi Sam I had a hearing test recently at ENT and they say my left ear ( has the raging T ) has signigican loss of high frequencies. They did not mention hearing aids but are sending me fir 'tinnitus retraining' whatever that is. My T gets worse if I stressed .... And i stress a lot...

@valeri nope mine is so loud nothing will mask it .My T has been reactive too. As soon as i turn the tv up the T volume rises above it ! It is just as if the remote control is operating the T. Very upsetting. I HATE IT.Tinnitus has destroyed my life . I am no longer me . Last night we had a...

@valeri it is very distressing but I am hoping it will either ease or I get used to it again. I am just upset because I had control last week and was happy again. Stress definately makes mine worse as does grinding my teeth which i do a lot of . My dentist gave me a gum shield but it just makes...

@valeri Hi Valeri , 'feedback tones' i hear these horrible squeeling tones exactly like a feedback tone you might hear from a massive microphone or speaker at a rock concert . It really hurts and i think that tone is the most distressing to me. It tortures me . Occassionally things soften to...

Me too , last few days I have an extreme hissing like a massive gas leak . It is vile but i think it is a little easier to put up with than the the horrible feedback tones i get . Those utterly kill me. Stay strong if you can ...

@Falconfox Hello friend, yes indeed what you say is very familiar to me . Inhave had T 24/7 since April . At first I had a total breakdown and then by last week i thought i was habituating it . I felt good for a week , had no fear when i noticed the T and pushed it to the background easily. Now...

Hi , i was once on Effexor and Tranadol and when Zi ever stopped taking either drug I got those horrible brain zaps whenever I moved my eyes or head. That lasted fir a couple of months then wore off thankfully . These days I have to take Oxycodone at a very high dose and I have started getting...

I empathise so much ! I have only had my Tinnitus ( T) since April this year . It has been 24/7 . I had a mental breakdown in June because of it . I came very close to suicide .VERY close . Only the love of my wife saved me . Between then and now I have been through hell . Crying all the time ...

I had just started to get used to my T when suddenly it has reached a new peak so loud i cannot sleep It is a wicked pure tone like feedback . So loud i cannot hear any ambient noise . So loud it actually hurts . So loud i have wished to be dead.Sometimes it drops in volume during the day but...

This is weird . I cane to the forum today intending to post about much the same thing ! Sorry I cannot offer any real advice or help but I just wanted to say about what is happening to me too and sometimes it helps to know you are not alone . I have had raging high pitched , screeching T in my...

Hello folks. I have had tinnitus in my left ear since April this year when I had middle ear effusion. Now, in August I am also having facial numbness on the same side.The numbness is on and off. Tinnitus 24/7 and extremely LOUD. I am only just starting to habituate after having a breakdown over...
