As others have said, exercise helps in combating stress and therefore assists in that awful tinnitus / stress merry-go-round which we all get on from time to time. Good luck.

I've been prescribed Serc. Let's see how I go and thanks again Paulie

Hi Speersy, I'm also from Aus. This forum is fantastic with so much help and expertise. I've found it invaluable. Good luck on your journey. Grant.

Thanks Greg. Hydrops hasn't yet been considered and Menieres was considered unlikely. This opinion was a year ago, however. Vertigo has never been a symptom since diagnosis until now

I didn't get the vertigo symptoms until a year after the hearing loss diagnosis and the onset of T. The vertigo began when I was on the couch. Had one terrible night where the world was spinning but then it subsided. I only had 3 episodes, but a mild light headed feeling has remained.

Thanks @Pleasure_Paulie. I have an appointment on Monday and will discuss this

Thank you @glynis x

Thank you @Greg Sacramento

Afternoon / Evening /Morning All, Just looking for an opinion / shared experience. In March 2017, I was diagnosed with unilateral low frequency hearing loss, categorised as SSHL, potentially brought about by a terrible flu illness. It of course started with aural fullness before the Tinnitus...

Work: Depends on the level of T as mine seems to fluctuate almost daily of late. I teach, so ordinarily, I'm too distracted by my own voice to notice! On bad days however, I can it very distracting and it's easy to lose focus / concentration. Sex: T disappears. Probably the best therapy there...

Try to be as positive as you can. Spikes can be scary, but over time you'll accept them and be aware that they subside. My T spikes constantly and rarely follows any real pattern. Sometimes it's very low, other times I can hear it above the car engine and radio. You will adjust and you will...

Do you hear it instantly when you wake @light rain? Or is there that split second before it appears?

What a great thread and thanks for posting. Something we all need and as a T newbie, I'm extremely grateful.

Exactly @fishbone Sleep well zzzzzz

What happens to our T when (if) we sleep? It clearly affects the conscious mind, but how does it affect the unconscious? I wonder if any relative neuro tests have been conducted in this regard and could it assist the overall condition? Just a thought.

Fantastic article @Michael Leigh: Thank you.

Thanks @Michael Leigh Have you heard of colds with nasal congestion and / or meds (Voltaren) to cause spikes in T? I really hope it's something temporary and the normal T can return. Grant

Thanks @Michael Leigh, I'd say my exposure to loud music through headphones or otherwise has been very limited. I would generally listen to music in the car or at home via speakers. I have had sporadic exposure to firearms over the years, but always with the correct ear protection. Grant

Hi @Michael Leigh Thank for the reply. I was always health and noise conscious, but as we know, it doesn't take much. My ENT suggests that a bout of flu in November may be a factor for the SSHL, but he can't be sure. I'm just concerned that after habituating, my T has doubled after the...

Hello to all, What a strange year it's been so far! Noticed aural fullness in my left ear around Christmas 2016 and went through the usual stuff - ear wax drops, visits to GP, etc. Was informed of the possibility of ETD and that I should pop my ears, etc. Then...... the tinnitus started and...
