I'm due to have cataract surgery within the next year and will probably have it done immediately after the New Year. Has anyone here had cataract surgery whilst already having tinnitus? Did the surgery worsen the tinnitus? I'm asking because the surgery involves using high-frequency ultrasound...

I went to see an ENT on Monday. She suggested a regime of antitoxicants/medication that I have outlined below as she thinks I have nerve damage and the regime may help with my tinnitus. I am 7-8 months into having tinnitus. What do you think? Worth a try? I really don't want to make my tinnitus...

You can interpret World View however you want, from politics to religion to what ice cream you buy. It doesn't matter. Not sure this is the right section for this thread. My views (and habits) have markedly changed since acquiring tinnitus 6-7 months ago: 1. I was well into watching political...

I'm 5 months into tinnitus journey and still haven't had an audiogram done. Anyway, I'm getting one early next week hopefully and want to get an extended one as that what everyone here says to do. However, I can't find anywhere that will give me one as they are telling me nothing can be told...

My oldest son wants to go to London to sightsee. This means a long train journey and then lots of hopping on and off of the London underground, which has noise levels of over 100 decibels. What precautions should I take? I can't have him missing out on seeing London. Taking precautions...

I have just helped bring two boys into the world, they are now 3.5 and 7 months, and I'm looking for advice of how to cope with bringing them up whilst having intrusive tinnitus. I'm an older dad and knew I had to be in shape if I wanted kids. I was, then tinnitus struck. I'm 49. My tinnitus...

I've noticed for the last few nights that when I hear a noise while I've been sleeping or trying to sleep it causes my whole body to shudder. It's like I've become very, very sensitive to sound at night. It could be something as little as the radiator making a slight noise. I almost jump when I...

Hi, Due to an adverse reaction to medication I've had tinnitus since early June, but I didn't notice until late June. In mid-June, and also as a reaction to the same medication, my vision became blurred. Since then my life has changed, and I have become very isolated and reclusive. I've hardly...

I'm only 3 months into my new life with tinnitus, and to say the least it has changed my life. I'm still in the denial stage and can't accept what's happened fully, but I'm going to have to eventually to move forwards. I'm still battling against the tinnitus rather than accepting it, and it's...

Apart from the obvious, i.e. one being caused by a reaction to a drug and other due to noise trauma, what is the difference in terms of damage to the ear? Do they both cause damage to the hair cells or is there more to it than that? And are there any differences with regard to research and...

I'm new to the forum and didn't really know where to post this question. it's not about a specific piece of research but a question of why more isn't being done by the US military to find a cure for tinnitus. After all, more is paid out on disability benefits for tinnitus than any other...
