Not great on decibels but I think it's a good sign that nothing has happened to your T. I would forget about it as sounds like it didn't do any further damage

I was on the 10 mg pain killing dose on amitryptilyne for 12 years and got T . I have other reasons as well but will never really know the true cause. I regret the day I ever started taking it just incase it was a factor. Drs and dentists ruined my health

It probably the fact that it is different that is making you panic, I'd you got on with multi tones in both ears one tip one in one ear should be a similar habituation process - I think it is just the chase that is spooking you. Your current T sounds like mine which I admitt is truly horrible...

Clogged ears and tinnitus seem to go hand in hand:-(

Maybe it is just anxiety that is making it seem more intense. Sounds like you were habituation well, it's natural to panic I do as I have loud intrusive hissing that I monitor all the time and am not habituated to. Maybe stay off forums and just carry on the way you were as it sounds like you...

Unlikely I would have thought as most 50 plus women would have it, of course it's impossible to rule everything out and maybe if you had a huge drop in hormones it might have but general hormone decline is gradual over 7 or 8 years. I trust it isn't the loud invasive kind and it's something you...

Well. I've got to get my dental implants extracts as they are making me ill, so I am going to have to brave the drill.

How do you manage to sleep in shifts. Do you take sleep meds ? I onky get one shot at sleep at night at about 11pm with a sleeping tablet I might be lucky to sleep from midnight to three or four Have you got a system. I can't seem to drop off to sleep in the day, however tired

Yes I have loads of other things with the onset of T. I've a few choices for getting it metal poisoning and brain/ Head injury due to fall are current favourites. My head actually feels like an electromagnet, or a pressure cooker with the tinnitus in the ears being the steam, and then I have a...

Post if it's works as I have a dreadful hissing sound in my left ear :-( I know I am not going to habituate to it as its too invasive

I don't think you will die from tinnitus although it is a truly terrible noise, well mine is. But you need to follow the advice in the post that Telis has put up, he has the same loud intrusive things we do. I am still on my journey but find the things he posts makes sense. All I do is listen...

Bearing in mind I have been on 10 mg pain killing dose of amityptilyne for 12 years and zopiclone for 6 before my nightmare T&H started. I would now love to come of these but I haven't got a clue where to start and am also worried that having used them long term stopping may actually make...

I don't think it makes it go, just makes your perception of it less, so it will still be there when you stop taking the meds.

I see your point. To be honest I have a big problem with modern medicines quest for longevity. All I see is people living their last 20 years with ill health instaed of their last 10. Westerners often living to 90 rather than 80 but with no quality of life. Really my health deserted me at...

Sorry to read this I am new here but have had T & H for six months I haven't habituated yet and don't know if I ever will as mind is screaming loud and my gut feeling is it is harder to habituate to loud T. But what I wanted to say is that if you managed to habituate once from all that I have...

I've done a fair bit of reading on here, but can't tell if it's possible to get rid of the blocked ear feeling that comes with tinnitus. It feels like inflammation and if I ice it it sort of goes away a bit, but as soon as the ice wears off its back bad as ever. I can't tell if it's making the T...

Well I kind of agree as I have had chronic pain conditions for 14 years, but they were/ far more manageable than chronic tinnitus and Hyperacusis so I kind of speak a bit from experience

Mine is not only coming from my ears it's definitely coming from my head. If I feel the areas above my ears and push them the ringing becomes even louder. I also feel like it is running all the way round the back of my head/neck. It's like my head is a pressure cooker and the tinnitus the steam...

It's not much consolation to find someone else on here who has severe T. But at least it means I am not going mad. All my Drs just want me on AD's and see to think I am a psyche patient Mine changes from ear to ear but it can be that both are blocked and both are screaming ad well :-( I...

I agree people are either sick and get better or really sick and die. Not condemned to this living hell, it's inhuman. I took amitryptilyne for 12 years and zopiclone for 6. I have loads of potential reasons for my T & H many of them were alledgedy about preserving my health. I wish I had been...

Thank you. I will need to do it permanently

Inspirational post, thank you

I don't suppose it is much consolation but you are not alone. I have tinnitus from metal poisoning and it's pretty loud like an old CVT Tv. I am told I will learn to live with it, I guess it's a case if having to. Mine is bad all, day but seems worse first thing in the morning. It's not always...

Oh dear another thread about tinnitus and metal posioing from multipule metals with titanium included. A lot more attention needs to be given to what Drs and Dentists put in our bodies I would urge nobody to go for multipule metals in their mouth. My vanity in not wanting a denture has cost me...

My tinnitus hates me sleeping it doesn't seem to like a still body. It seems to be all over my head anyway so wherever I lay I am affecting it in some way. I'm sleeping with pills but the most it will let me have is a max 3 hours before it wakes me. Often less. I am envious of those who say...

This is true. It's just that on this board where people state what has caused their T I haven't seen alcohol but then I guess not many hard chore alcoholics are on an IPad much

No sorry I haven't im not very good at that kind if thing. I've had a really bad day, and a bad GP appointment where they think I am mad and have given me AD's. Like are the going to get rid of my chronic T, H and suspected metal implant poisoning. I don't think so. I know I have weird...

I could have written that my ears/brain feel eternally messed up - that is exactly how I would describe myself. The fact that my T seems to affect my whole head and I feel like I have peripheral neuropathy most of the time makes me detain I have nerve damage

I've spoken to and emailed The Eastman this morning. The receptionist said they run a kind of reduced service during the school summer holidays. My whole head is affected with my Tinnitis today, it's raging all over the back if my scalp and benind my ears. Still feels like a pressure cooker...

It's one of the few things I will take now I have T. I started to feel my brain pumping mad yesterday like I was going to get a mega headache so warded it of with a couple of paracetamol

Lack of sleep makes tinnitus worse and tinnitus causes lack of sleep - the ultimate irony

Whilst I think there are a lot of good opinions and information on alcohol on this thread. I think that you need to do what you need to do to get through the day. We area all going to die of so ethi g in the end. I feel so ill a lot of the time that maybe drinking my life away would be the...

Bloody hell Ive been on it 12 years I thought they gave it to treat T Perhaps mine was caused by ototixic drugs then like Telis, although I still think it was metal poisoning I was a T accident waiting to happen, what with a metal mouth, loads of drugs a fligh just before the full ear feeling...

What's wrong with amtriptilyne intake the 10mg lower pain killing does not the 400 mg depression dose I thought they often prescribed it for T , I was on it for Fibromyalgia

Just goes to show that we can all get the same symptoms regardless of what triggered it :-(

Thanks Danny. I'm frightened to add anything in or take anything away from the mix of what I am doing but I will consider it when I'm in a better place, been on amitryptilyne 10mg and zopiclone for sleep for years(not that they work now with all this going on) Where can you get Keppra

How did you get yours ? I have a load of reasons but metal poisoning is my own diagnosis. That leaves T&H with loads of other weird stuff going on as it totally messes with the central nervous system. Hence tinnitus, Hyperacusis, Pulsatile, and I have a hyped up sense of smell. I'M sure if...

Thanks we can't get melatonin in the UK unless we buy it online I suppose

Yes that is on top of 24/7 white noise tinnitus and Hyperacusis. My central nervous system is shit to pieces I can tell. Even my sense if smell us affected :-( Glad you haven't got this anyway, it's the pits, well it's all the pits really

Glad to read the above positive posts about getting as much out of life as you can. I guess it depends on how bad you are and what other medical issues you may have to deal with.

Yeah and tingling did you get that Danny. My head feels likea pressure cooker, with the tinnitus at the ears being the screaming steam. Also I can feel my heartbeat gin g to fast as well, which is really frightening but I don't know if that is panic or if Pulsatile T is setting in as well

I've had four out and am in a kind of state of toxic shock, I feel totally unsupported in this my dentist is willing to take them out, but we don't know what we are doing. And GP can't offer anything and yes I do feel I am ready to end it. I can't face the treatment and then living with the...

I notice this first thing in the morning. My T seems to hate the stillness of my body sleeping and wakes me up after three hours and seems to be all over my head not just perceiving to come from my ears. I guess I just want to know that I am not on my own with this. I know it's a brain thing...

No but I had a cat scan that showed sinusitis, but that was before I used a load of drops on them. I was down for ballon sinuplasy but didn't go through with it as in the interim the chronic T and Hyperacusis set in, so I was devasted. I was so bad with stress and anxiety I could cope with the...

It's got that kind of s ound and permanence to it, I think I deal with it better thinking this is it, plus I read a lot if stuff that said the best chance of resolution is in the first three months, I'm well past that. I'm a major stressor which seems to hold it into people's brains. I've...

Fingers crossed for you, stay calm and wait it out. Not having a great day myself but then I know managed an hours sleep last night so I am hoping that is affecting me. I tried to use only half a sleeping tablet last night I need to go back to my regular dose

I've lost weight since all this started 7 months ago. I can't stand that I can hear all my eating sounds amplified. I am having a nightmare of a day with both ears blocked and screaming that feels like it is from my whole head. Son just had a shower, hubbie ran a tap and it meant that I couldn't...

Where did you place the hot water bottle did you place it on on near your ears, or round the back of your neck ? I was using a lot if steroid sprays on my sinus before all this started up, I know I've got sinus issues but I think it's too late for the T I can tell it's here to stay

I'm really not an expert on this, but I think you will have to wait it out, as it's happened now, it will probably calm back down soon. I know it's going to be real difficult but try and forget about the fact you had it and don't stress, drink camomile tea or something else that you find...

I have always been stressed by other people's noise :-( Neighbours car alarms, kids running wild, dogs barking, other people's invasive music, me losing it on occassion with them. People at work that wouldn't shut up so I could get on with my work. I guess I was full of adrenaline surges as...

Where do you get sleepy time Tea, is it something you buy on-line ? Huge sleep issues here, and was on sleeping tablets for years before chronic T and H came. Frightened to just stop the zopiclone even though it doesn't really work anymore (one hours sleep last night )but would like to add in...

Some thing happened to me. T first then H a few weeks later.

Are you replying to me mad maggot ? If so I've had my ears looked at by ENTs etc and nothing found. I though ear blocking, pain, etc were all just part of tinnitus and deafness they said my pressure was fine. I do think some of the testing is flawed though as there are certain parts they can't...

There is a private tinnitus clinic in Harley Street no idea what they are like, Amy e they do hearing as well. Also I believe there is a good hearing clinic at Addenbrookes in Cambridge apparently but you would need the standard route of getting a GP to referee you to an ENT and then persuade...

I wonder why some people hear all different sounds like yourself and others just seem to hear one or maybe two sounds. I guess it's just the way the individuals brain is reacting to the hearing damage

Well I would say, silverware, plates, crockery clanking are classic signs if Hyperacusis, I have those as well as such things as birdsong sounding wrong and weird. Other people's noises like coughing etc sounding too loud. I also get ear pain, not necessarily at the time of a H occurrence, but...

Glad you are OK now, I will still be careful around sound though if I was you. I know that sounds depressing but I think those of us in these boards have some kind of damage so we can't afford to be to careful.

Well mine screams so what you are saying makes sense, I have probably lost my outer hair cells

It was a bit complicated I actually had the blocked ears for ages, Oct 2014 before the T kicked in six months ago. I was tested for ETD but it was actually inflammation caused by some dental implants that I has put in that kind of mimicked ETD and blocked ear feeling, as ENT found nothing. I've...

I regretted mine as well so you are not alone. Also I'm not 100% certain but I dont think mine was noise induced either I think my GP sent me as he had run out of ideas as to what yo do with me. I'm sure it did more harm than good with my T & H. Also the brain ins was Ok I, but because I cried...
