Well I have 3 days left of a family holiday in Spain and I am getting so low. My wife and I booked a 3-hour buggy safari. I'm always so careful with my ears. And it never occurred to me the buggies would be so loud. I had no earplugs so I kept my left ear closed using my finger. Then wet some...

I'm turning 40 next month, and I was correct in thinking my wife was about to arrange a sky dive as a birthday present. It's something I've always wanted to do. She knows my tinnitus has spiked over the last 2 weeks. She thought it might not be a good idea, so rather than surprise me with it...

So I'm an almost 40-year-old gamer. I know, but it's a hobby and i enjoy it. For the last few years I have played Xbox with a friend most evenings. We get on, we make each other laugh, and it's a social, as well as fun thing to do. We talk through a headset. However I'm 10 days into a...

Well my tinnitus was already loud and in one ear. A few months ago I went through a huge spike and clicking in my ear. Then after a couple of weeks, it went back to its normal level. I was relieved, but now think it was just a sign of what was to come. Since Saturday my tinnitus is in both...

Just wondering if anybody in the south of England knows of any tinnitus groups or something similar? My friends or family don't know what tinnitus is like and I don't talk to them much about it. I don't want to just meet up and talk about tinnitus for an hour etc but it might be nice to meet...

So I've habituated to very loud tinnitus in my left ear. It took me about a year. That was around 3 years ago. I thought how lucky I was to habituated so easily despite the t being like a loud screech the volume of conversation. But the last 2 weeks has dragged me down. I have what I think...

Hi. I was wondering if anybody could help me. Over the last month, in the ear I have tinnitus in, I have been experiencing an noise and feeling in my ear. The best way I can describe it is as a spasm or vibration with a fairly deep noise. I have no noticeable hearing loss, it doesn't react...

Hi. I've had tinnitus for about 5 years, and it doesn't really bother me now. However, in the ear that has tinnitus, something odd has begun to happen. There's a low pitch rumble that lasts a few seconds at a time. I know tinnitus can be all types of sounds. But this I can feel. I'm certain...

After a long time away from this site, I logged back on again a few weeks ago. The reason was because my left ear needed syringing for the first time since I got tinnitus some 4 years ago. I was going to seek advise. Anyway the syringing went fine. But since I've logged back in I've hung...

Hi. I've had loud tinnitus in my left ear for a few years now. Since being a teenager (39 now) I've had ear syringing every now and then. I simply get too much wax. Since tinnitus began, I've been lucky in the fact that my left ear hasn't had to be syringed. Anyway last weekend it got so...

Hi I live in the UK and unfortunately I need to take antibiotics for a long lasting sinus problem. I don't want to take them but I think I have little choice after a ct scan revealed a blockage which my doctor thinks is bacterial. Anyway I have been pescribed erythromycin and I'm doing my...

Hello. I've been meaning to do this for a while in the hope it may help someone else. I'm not making out i have all the answers. Nor do i know everything about tinnitus. It's simply my story, and how i've coped with tinnitus. I's a long post. So if you want to skip my tinnitus journey, just...

I have been coping well with my t since it started over 6 months ago. Last week I came down with a chest infection. My tinnitus seemed louder, still coped well with it. I'm over the worst of it. But yesterday I noticed my lower legs pulsating. Wasn't too worried. Had a quick look online...

Today i woke up at 6:00am, got straight up, got dressed, coffee etc, got on bike, rode, got to work, had some breakfast then looked at the clock. Not only did i realize it was 8:30am. But more importantly i realized i hadn't even thought about my tinnitus for two and a half hours. There was a...

Had T in left ear for over a month or so. It came out of nowhere for no apparent reason. GP had a look and everything looked normal. No fluid or infection. I'm finally going to ENT tomorrow. I'll be having a hearing test. I'm hoping to get some answers (hopefully no really bad ones). I'm...

I'm going to stop reading online about tinnitus for a few days. I want to give myself a chance to stop thinking about tinnitus as much as I can. Researching tinnitus, and using this forum and BTA forum has been really helpful. But this weekend I'm going to act as if I haven't got tinnitus...

My doctor prescribed me something called Avamys. It's fluticasone furoate. Can anybody tell me if I should continue to take it? I've only just heard the term ototoxic. It this included in the list?

Hi. I've been to see my GP about my tinnitus. She wasn't able to help but told me she was going to refer me to ENT as my tinnitus is in one ear only. I know the NHS isn't perfect so I never expected to gat an appointment to ENT for perhaps 2-3 weeks. I phoned the doctor today to see if I had...

I'm trying to post on the brittish tinnitus forum but without much success. I know this is a long shot but you never know. I live in the UK on the south coast. I was wondering if there might be someone who lives near me. If so we could meet up, do something, lunch, bike ride, bowling, anything...

I'm 34. Tinnitus for a week in left ear, no fluid or wax, no infection. Doctor today suspected acoustic neuroma. I'm having an MRI soon. I wondered if anyone here has had an acoustic neuroma, and what their outcome was? If I have it, and I have an operation, will I lose the tinnitus and...

Hi. My name's Bob and I live in the UK. I've had constant tinnitus in one ear for a week now. I'm trying my best to get on with life but finding it pretty hard. I've seen a nurse who confirmed no ear wax or perforated eardrum. So Now I'm waiting to see the doctor. I'm holding on to the fact...

Hi. I've just joined the forum as I'm confused, worried and I have no answers. Hopefully someone here may be able to help. I will spend a lot of time reading old posts here etc. OK, I am 34 years old and and am having my first episode of continuous tinnitus. I have had occasional tinnitus in...
