Your boyfriend sounds like a waste of space twat to be honest. When he's sleeping shout in his ear(s) and see how he likes it. Chances are he will understand tinnitus a little better.

My tinnitus completely went away after around 5 months so have faith it definitely can go away.

Hi guys haven't been on here a while. Just wanted to say my Tinnitus went away completley after being with me for around 5 or so months. It was mild tinnitus and could only be heard in a quiet room but it's gone completley and i hope it never makes a comeback (been 3 months sound free). Wanted...

Yes it can. I had it in my left ear (although it was quite mild) for months and now I can hear silence.

Tried Valerian roots previously and they did nothing for me. Heard a lot of great things about Melatonin but its not available over the counter here in the UK which is a shame. Will go to the doctors about amitriptyline. Cheers for always being helpful, it's much appreciated. I've always said...

Hi guys just wanted to give an update. So for the last 2 weeks I haven't heard the sound anymore. Even if I look for it I usually don't find it (in a dead silent room) so i'm relieved but it's preoccupied my brain so much over the last few months that I'm still suffering from sleep issues and...

I know mate but believe me it's easier said then done when you've suffered from Anxiety for a large chunk of your life.

I understand that mate and I've literally become overly cautious now because of this.

Amazing what reassurance can do to someone that suffers badly from Anxiety. My first bout of T also went away completely after some reassurance. Have faith mate and at least you're aware it can go away so keep that in the forefront of your head and don't let anxiety make it worse

Hi guys haven't posted here in a while so wanted to give another update. My tinnitus is extremely odd and I'm almost certain it's my terrible anxiety that is the issue rather than the tinnitus itself. If you don't know my story it's basically in my left ear and it's very low almost non...

Very much appreciated on your kind words. Seeing a therapist about my health anxiety in a couple of days which will hopefully help out. Still find myself muting tv's...going into quiet rooms...checking if I hear a sound. Still get super anxious in the night in case I hear something out of the...

Very much appreciated on the advice mate. I'm definitely going to be super cautious now if and when i do go out clubbing. Ear plugs for sure and if the music is loud i'm leaving straight away. One thing this has open my eyes to is the amount of people i know that has some form of T (all of them...

Update again guys: So basically the slight sound in my left ear is virtually not existant and can rarely hear it (even in silence). It's a weird one to be honest. If i close my effected ear, sleep on it, etc etc i never hear anything. If i sleep on the non effected ear i can hear something on...

Yep same here mate. My girlfriend and all my mates all talk about that noise they hear in complete silence if they concentrate on it. They talk about it as if its completley normal which really confuses me. They also call it "head noise". I even spoke about it with a co worker today and he...

Just an update Since my last post my T simply vanished and i could not hear it. That lasted for a week or so but i kept testing and kept testing and sure enough i thought i heard a slight sound in my left ear again which caused me to be anxious. I get extremley panicky when i'm by myself in...

Yesterday my anxiety was sky high (when trying to sleep) and it was probably because i read this thread just before sleeping(i am a terrible sleeper when something is playing on my mind). As i've said previously on here i suffer severly from health anxiety. Half way through yesterday night i...

Never attend concerts again?

I am so so confused by this. So I can hear a very very faint ring in my left ear when it's extremely quiet/silent but when I plug my affected ear (left one) it disappears after 10 or so seconds. Even when I don't plug it it sort of quietens down and fades into the background in a quiet room...

Just an update... So I'm almost sure my anxiety is playing a big part in the feeling I have something wrong with my ear. I occasionally do hear very slight 'eeeee' ringing in my left ear only when it's extremely quiet/silent (that weirdly goes away when i plug my ears) but if I don't think...

I feel defeated and it's really effecting me. So as ive said i have literally been testing this recent bout of tinnitus around 10 or so times a day to see if i could hear that sound. Would go into rooms, close my ears, read forums galore. Just obsess over it. Normally after a minute or less...

My othet half who doesn't suffer from T can hear a slight high pitched ring when looking for it.

But that's the thing. They do have it..when explaining it they describe it just as i hear it (in quiet surroundings). I literally just spoke to a friend about it yesterday and his response was "what that eeeee" sound. My girlfriend and i share the same flat...we went to 3 different rooms and...

Anxiety is a real bitch. I suffer from health anxiety and it has literally made me feel i have every disease/sickness under the book. It has actually caused me to be sick at times to be totally honest with you. I think your issue is similar to mine in that we are focusing in on this sound. Mine...

You already know you had that ring for sure before so why are you worrying about it now? It's becasue you're focusing in on it. Maybe anxiety/stress related?

Do we not all hear some sort of ringing/hissing ever so slight 'eeeee' or 'tiiiiii' in complete silence? Or in a very quiet room? I ask this becasue every time i bring it up to someone who apparently doesn't have tinnitus they always look at me as if to say "ok and?" When i talk about the sound...

I mentioned it to him on during my first bout with T and he didn't seem at all interested. He just said there's nothing wrong with my ears thus there is nothing they can do. Wait it out and it will go. Funnily enough that was the day i felt really defeated...and then later did all those tests...

I think mine is phycological as well (as i've said previously i suffer from health anxiety). Initially it was brought on by being an idiot and standing quite close to the speakers in a club, 2 days prior to that i had a really bad pain in my left ear whilst flying (air pressure) which subsided...

I'm really puzzled about something. Can it really be Tinnitus if i can block out the ringing sound when i wear ear plugs or when i block my ears? I can basically hear that high pitched (but quiet) eeeee or tiiiiiii sound when i cone into a room and really concentrate but if i block my ears it...

I'm not telling you it will be ok only so you can think positive. I'm telling you it will be ok becasue it will be ok. Don't fear the sound....literally embrace it. Health anxiety is a muthafucka and literally makes you think the worst at all times. Even now i think i'm doing ok i still find...

You are in the same predicament i was in and you will beat it. I also suffer greatly from health anxiety and believe me when i say it plays a massive part. Do you constantly find yourself trying to hear the sound? Blocking your ears constantly to see if you can hear that ring? Don't use...

Has the tone/sound/pitch actually got worse or are you focusing in on it more?

Thank you for your reassuring words. I understand i'm very fortunate. It's just i could literally hear nothing when i plugged my ears the last week and i thought it was gone but the anxiety literally finds something so my mind can be preoccupied and worried. I was literally checking my hearing...

I'm saying that i think our issues are similar so maybe what helps me might help you.

Exactly the same. I literally find myself questioning every sound i hear which i know is not good. Think CBT and meditation will help me.

Guys do any of you suffer from anxiety? I say this because i'm trying to think about this logically. If you (like me to be honest) can't hear this sound when we cover our ears then i'm really starting to think its anxiety induced and we are somehow imagining this sound in our brain leading to...

I'm really puzzled about my apparent Tinnitus and need some advice please. So as i said before, the last time i experienced tinnitus it lasted approximately 2 weeks until some reassurance from the other half made me literally not think about it for 2 months. During those 2 weeks my symptoms was...

Thanks mate. Will definitely protect my ears in future. Regarding the anxiety question. I'm just so puzzled and confused as to how and why i could go 2 weeks continuously hearing and being worried about this sound that i could hear in my left ear (regardless of how faint it was) then it...

A little background about me before I start this post off. I've been suffering from health anxiety for the last 4 or so years (basically started a year after my dad passed away). Had it for numerous health related issues that I somehow convinced myself is worse than it is and I'm gonna die etc...
