    Is It Normal If Tinnitus Keeps Getting Worse?

    You sound like myself... no real answers to your issue. I’ve had tinnitus for 3 years and it was like yours in the beginning, very quiet, then about 4 months ago it has just got louder and louder to the point the tv won’t drown it out. I would be going to see a specialist again and keep at...

    Has Anyone Got Tinnitus for Unknown Reason?

    I first had an exposure to loud noise in 2015 and within a couple of months I could barely hear a thing, very easily lived with that, normal noises would never bother me, heck I have a race car with more or less a straight pipe and never annoyed me once. Then all of a sudden 2 months ago the...

    Has Anyone Got Tinnitus for Unknown Reason?

    Has anyone ever got tinnitus for no reason? I know mine was from a loud club. Then it calmed down to virtually nothing. I’m having issues at the moment. I’m confident I’ll get sorted. But has anyone ever got tinnitus that’s stayed with them permanently and consistently loud for no reason...

    Saw Private ENT Specialist Today

    Surely if you’ve got no hearing loss, no infection, no disorders etc it shouldn’t be there. There’s symptoms with me, lots of pressure in my head that came out of the blue when the ringing got bad, so something isn’t right. Anyone I’ve seen on here with bad tinnitus seems to know the cause.

    Saw Private ENT Specialist Today

    I’ve had cancer in my family before but hoping it’s not that, my tinnitus is very loud, over the past 2 months it started to gradually get louder in left ear and the pressure built at same time, can’t be a coincidence imo. Pressure isn’t there 24/7 but never is it fully away.

    Saw Private ENT Specialist Today

    I’m not considering the nerve thing I’m just stating he told me this, he sees no ear infection and my sinus is fine. Hearing is great, actually mentioned that it’s above average and that the pressure is the issue causing my issue. I’m to get a scan first to see if there is another reason for...

    Saw Private ENT Specialist Today

    I saw an ENT specialist today. I paid for a private one. He says zero ear infection left, no fluid, redness etc. and believes a vent in my ear will relieve the pressure in my head that he believes is causing the strain on my left ear. Booked in hopefully next week for a head scan to see what...

    What Kind of Masking Do You Use to Cope with Tinnitus?

    What do you guys do with really bad tinnitus to cope with the ringing? I’ve got an ear infection and possibly an ongoing issue and it hiked up to a very loud noise a couple of days ago. Before it was manageable but now I can’t sleep and it’s really affecting me mentally. Any tips on what...

    Tinnitus Louder Than Ever — Ear Infection

    Woke up the past couple of days to my tinnitus louder than ever, 10/10 and I went to the hospital to get checked. The doctor looked in my ears and the one that is ringing badly he says I have an infection in. My ENT hadn’t checked my ears since about 5 weeks ago, I’m guessing this ear...

    Worried My Tinnitus Is Going to Stay Loud...

    Anyone any insight to this? 7/8 weeks is way too long for a spike when nothing has changed bar getting really bad pressure in the front of my head/ear. Really bad today I think I’ve annoyed my ears by trying to clear my head by doing a couple of exercises to free up tubes

    Went to See ENT — Left Side Nose Nearly Completely closed

    Went and saw my ENT today and he said because my left side nose is nearly completely closed (due to silly antics in earlier years) the tube isn’t getting rid of the infection I had, he suggested having my nose sorted which I’d like done anyway and he says the tinnitus will settle down anyway but...

    Worried My Tinnitus Is Going to Stay Loud...

    My tinnitus started with a sinus infection. The doctors think so as the pressure was crazy in my head and left ear got worse and worse, little redness but nothing to be seen in ears. I don’t think the vibration from tractors etc helped and at the moment I’m trying to stay away from everything...

    Worried My Tinnitus Is Going to Stay Loud...

    Would it be normal for tinnitus to get louder in on ear and just stay that loud for good even without any real change? I think the vibration and sinus issue was the problem but surely neither can damage my ear?

    Worried My Tinnitus Is Going to Stay Loud...

    Only thing I can think of was driving commercial tractors for a couple of weeks clearing a site. Was fine first while but maybe the noise or vibration has annoyed it.

    Anyone Race or Into Cars?

    I’ve had a massive interest in cars since a kid, currently have a few I build and tinker at and take one to the track. Does anyone else have this interest and if they race what do you do about vibration as recently I think it’s what’s annoying my tinnitus?

    Vibration Upsetting Tinnitus?

    Yeah I’ve been as careful as possible with my job, usually a spike would be for a few days or week or 2 this is 6 weeks or so, so I’m thinking maybe the vibration of some of the work I was doing on site has annoyed it. Strange tbh I hope they go back to a normal level again that isnt really...
