I'm about to apply for Disability Support. The many tests and doctors'/specialists' reports are in full swing now. I retired late last year because I just couldn't reliably face up to work. For nearly a year I've suffered from low frequency hearing loss in my left ear along with Tinnitus...

I would like to add my voice to those here advocating for acupuncture. My acupuncturist inserts the needles into outer edges of ear, also neck and wrists. I’d been to him before and have great faith in him. He suggests twice weekly for 6 weeks. I’ll be going permanently most likely. He was...

You refer to ‘hearing’ what’s on TV but not always understanding it- in other words ‘distorted, yeah? And the sound of wind/trees (louder than you think they should) be is exactly what I have (in one ear). Along with the Tinnitus (which is now waking me up at times in the night), I have some...

Thank you, wonderful people for your responses- I feel much less alone. I’m going to check those links and do some reading. The recent Prednisolone helped again- but as I’m tapering it down again the symptoms seem to be damned awful. The loud echoey sounds of every-day stuff like voices is a...

Hi All and I'm very pleased to have found this forum. I'm on antidepressants and trying to 'habituate'. I came down with 'sudden sensorineural' hearing loss in late March this year. Diagnosed withing a fortnight by audiologist. I simply woke up with it one morning- a feeling of fullness in the...
