Hi @Anna V. You asked whether my pink noise generators affected my tinnitus levels when I started. I don’t think they did. My tinnitus is up and down anyway but I am no longer much upset by it. The generators make a very gentle sound, little more than a whisper. I have asymmetrical hearing loss...

Hello @Anna V. My tinnitus may be similar to yours. I have constant tinnitus of different tones in each ear, which doesn’t bother me much. I also have another kind of whining tinnitus which sparks up in reaction to various sounds such as someone coughing, voices on tv/radio, music, my...

Hello @G61 - I've had tinnitus for nearly 5 years and H for almost 2 years. My H was the kind that whistled and whined along to many sounds. I have worn NHS UK pink noise generators for a year and the H has mostly gone. I received a very basic form of TRT from my hearing therapist, with...

Hi @Cal18 - you describe my symptoms exactly. The buzzing is my case is very bad but I'm lucky to have a day or two per week with "ear only" T. The buzzing is literally impossible to mask. If I do try to mask it, it's like I'm adding more noise to the mix instead of covering it up which just...

Hello @TalkingCat, try not to worry so much. My tinnitus sounds just the same as yours and is also probably due to hydrops. It is worse at night but I have simple ways of dealing with it. If I wake up and it's loud I get up and make a drink and read for a bit, breathing along to my Oasis sound...

My ears have been terrible for the last eighteen months. I felt like my hearing was up and down. To summarise, reactive tinnitus, tingling and blocked feeling in left ear, low hum in right. I have a 40db drop in left ear and a slight reverse slope in each ear. I was diagnosed with hyperacusis by...

I have just one masker for my hyperacusis ear, which I've worn for six weeks now. I'm pleased to say that after 5 weeks of wearing for 10 hrs a day, the hyperacusis is much better leaving me with just the tinnitus. I know that I should have two maskers but I got this one free from the UK NHS...

Hello. I have hydrops, which is a bit better now due maybe to following a low salt diet for six months, and taking betahistine. I've also had a constantly fluctuating and reactive tinnitus on top of the usual low rumble for about a year and have searched constantly for answers. Recently I went...

Thanks @Lauren Morse for your suggestion, but I don't think my ear problems are down to migraines. However, I am feeling much better due to a much stricter low salt diet and a pair of hearing aid/maskers. My low drone started suddenly in December 2012 and stayed with me. My 4K loss (see below)...

@josh77 your hearing loss is the same as mine - in the 4K range. I've only had my hearing aid for a couple of days and the audiologist has set it up as a masker only. She was going to set up some amplification but changed her mind. Do you mind me asking how bad your 4K dip is please? (Mine is I...

@Sam Bridge Thanks for commenting. I can say that I hear weirdly and have two kinds of tinnitus, a low rumble overlaid by a whine. The ear with the NIHL does in fact feel tingly and full. I can hear speech pretty well but this week went to see an audiologist specialising in tinnitus. As well as...

Here's mine. It is a bit unusual I think. If anyone has any ideas, please comment.

Thanks Yvonne. I am sorry you have suffered for so long with Cochlear Hydrops. It has only been four years for me but I recognise what you have gone through. I too thought that my ear problems were down to stress, playing the accordion (!), ETD etc, even though Cochlear Hydrops was diagnosed on...

Yes, I have this as well. I've had this problem for nearly three years. I suddenly noticed a roaring noise in my left ear, which subsided after a month of so leaving me with a low pitch hum. After six months I went to ENT where an audiogram showed that I had a severe reverse slope loss. The...

I am taking 8mg of Betahistine 3 times a day and it seems to lessen my tinnitus. I had to take it for 3 or so weeks before I felt any benefit. I have cochlear hydrops and this is the second time I have tried Betahistine. I gave up the first time - higher dose of 16mg x 3 - as it gave me...

I have moderate low frequency loss with reactive tinnitus in both ears, one worse than the other. Can anyone tell me if a hearing aid would help please?

The ENT consultant said I have cochlear hydrops, which seems to be linked to Mennieres. I have some low pitch hearing loss and constant tinnitus, which is like a low hum. The good thing is that I don't yet have the other mennieres symptoms of dizziness and nausea. I don't have a feeling of...
