    Tinnitus and Eye Antibiotics

    Thank you everybody for your help, I thought that it may probably be safe but as we all know it is easy to get a little anxious when it comes to Tinnitus. @ Dr Nagler the name of the antibiotic is chloramphenicol. Miss lavender.

    I don't want to appear nasty or insensitive because I am neither of these things, but what is the point of your thread? People know how they feel about their tinnitus situation why do they care to share such information. Again this does not help anybody. Why not ask a more positive question that...

    Will Going to the Beach or the Pool Make Tinnitus Worse?

    Hi Rina, in my experience going to the beach actually improves my tinnitus. I am not sure if it's the relaxing environment or the sounds of the water and the birds but I feel peaceful at the beach and my tinnitus lowers. So I say go to the beach and have a great time.

    Does Your Tinnitus Worsen If You Have Neck Pain?

    @applewine , both a gp and an osteopath told me it may be related, but hey what do they know. However I had a deep tissue massage not that long ago and my tinnitus seemed to be relatively low for the following couple of days. Was it simply the placebo affect or did the massage really help? It...

    Does Your Tinnitus Worsen If You Have Neck Pain?

    @applewine , I can't believe it but I have most of the same symptoms as you. They are not severe but can be somewhat annoying at times. Is it really related to tinnitus? I do wonder if there is not more to it. I have had several tests and cat scans etc... They say all is normal. Hmmm.

    Depression

    I am sorry you are feeling this way. Even though you say you feel weak due to taking drugs, you are not. What you are doing is trying to find temporary relief and I think this is a most sensible thing to do. After this time you may want to try some hypnotherapy and meditation to address your...

    Can tinnitus mimic sounds? Can long exposure to quiet sound

    No I don't think it is weird at all. I have two sounds to my tinnitus, the most constant one is a hiss and the underlying one is a tonal sound. This tonal sound is exactly the same as a play station fan sound. It appears that this tonal sound came shortly after we obtained our play station. So...
