Hi there, So I'm 6.5 months in and my tinnitus has faded a lot. I mainly hear it at night but it is much quieter than it was before and I certainly am not as distressed by it. Some days it gets a bit louder but it is nowhere near as bad as it was when it first started. At the moment it's a...

There are no words that I can say to ease your pain. But I am sending loving thoughts to you and your family. Xxx

Thank you for this! Congratulations on your baby! Very wise words @Kendra, I appreciate it xxx

Hi, 3 months in with tinnitus after having my daughter. During the day it's relatively quiet but at night it's bad and tonight it's particularly bad! Trying to be strong and positive but it's wearing me down... :(

A bit more understanding as to how awful this can be. I cannot sit in silence, it's gone. Silence may possibly not return... some empathy at least would be nice... X

I don't have any advice but just wanted to say I'm sorry you're having such trouble! Xx

It gets better, just give it time! At first I felt like you but its better now, it's horrible at first but things will improve! Xx

Oh yes, she is a beautiful and courageous woman inside and out. I will miss her dreadfully when she goes to sleep for the last time. Xxxx

Yes baby is great! She's lovely. Oh it's awful, I've never had it in my life until now. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. This forum has helped me so much, knowing you're not alone really helps me. The consultant I saw gave me the same advice as @Gareth Davies. Keep living your life, going...

My tinnitus does the same! @Gareth Davies is so right ! Xx

My friend is living with terminal cancer. She is having palliative chemotherapy, she still gets about, shops, cleans, works and looks after her 3-year-old son. The tumour grew on her sciatic nerve and caused her to develop foot drop and other things and therefore her mobility is very much...

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling like this. I'm only 7 weeks in from developing tinnitus, I have an 8 week old baby and what should be a wonderful time has been tainted with this tinnitus. Not to mention the sleep deprivation of having a newborn and trying to sleep with tinnitus, there have...

Not entirely sure but it's normal to feel anxious. I feel anxious a lot about my tinitus xxx

Agree with other posters! I'm very new to tinnitus, I developed it about 7 weeks ago, no one knows why! It's quietened down in that time and appears to now only be in my left ear. I try to keep busy and avoid quiet rooms. I think tinnitus is a slow healer and I've been told by my consultant...

Thank you so much for your reply. Sorry to hear you are having troubles too. I'm desperate for this to go. I've been told yesterday that my tinnitus is likely due to stress by NHS ENT consultant. He said he anticipates it will go as there is no damage to my ear. He's prescribed me...

I have this and been told it is still tinnitus but I've been told mine is either stress or hormone related. It's low frequency too and stops when i put an earplug in my ear, talk etc. The consultant told me to use sound enrichment and avoid quiet rooms. Xx

Hi everyone, I'm nearly 7 weeks from developing tinnitus which isn't very long in the tinnitus world at all. Just wondered what people's opinions were of my tinnitus now. About 10 days ago my right ear tinnitus became quieter but tinnitus has remained in my left ear and is like a humming noise...

This is the same with me too !! X

I had exactly this! The robotic voices eventually went and I would describe my tinnitus to be the same sound as yours. The ENT saw suspected ETD and gave me prednisolone. I don't think the prednisolone got rid of the robotic voices but I think it was just time. There is no known cause for my...

I was initially told I had ETD due to hormonal changes from pregnancy, this may have been the case (it might still be however my tests have been normal). I have had tinnitus for 6 weeks now, no known cause apparently other than suspected stress/hormones. I've seen 2 ENTs whom were not that...

Thanks for the replies. I really do appreciate it. Some really useful advice!! All of it makes perfect sense to me. Yesterday I couldn't hear the tinnitus until I went to bed, however today it's back with a vengeance. I wonder if there is a stress element to this because today I've been very...

Thank you. Just trying to take each day as it comes. Hope you are ok too. X

Ears are such weird things! Your ears just need time to heal, I'm 5 weeks in from developing tinnitus with no obvious cause and it's very slowly getting better. I'm sure yours will too xxx

Chances are it's not permanent, think you just need to give it time. Try not to be scared, time is a great healer xx things will get better

I developed tinnitus 5 weeks ago after having my daughter. No known cause other than hormones. All I know is that in 5 weeks my tinnitus has improved, it's still very much there but it's better. I am more sure than that will be the case for you too, the ears can take a long time to recover. Hang...

I'm 5 weeks in from developing tinnitus shortly after giving birth to my daughter. Just wanted to know people's opinions/experience/advice: I initially had a jet engine type noise, very loud in both ears with ear fullness. This lasted a couple of weeks and was given prednisolone for suspected...

Hey there! I'm 33 and developed tinnitus after having my daughter only 5 weeks ago! This forum has been an absolute lifesaver for me, as I have had some very dark days! I'm hoping I can learn to live with the tinnitus but at the moment it's quite loud which is frustrating. Just wanted to say...

Oh yes I totally understand. All the doctors I've seen about my T have said 'give it time ' However like you say its living through it that's the worst part x

I dont have any advice as im new to all of this , only having tinnitus for thr last 3 weeks after giving birth. However please update your post and know that you are not alone x

I dont have any advice but wanted to know youre not alone. Im sure this will be just a temporary spike and it will settle. Try not to panic , so much easier said than done I know !. Xx

Just an update So I've finished the 10 day prednisolone, it helped with my symptoms. However now have buzzing which alternates between each ear. Consultant basically said nothing can be done and that I should try CBT. He said it might self resolve but just don't know when. I have had some...

I dont have any advice but wanted to say hello. Sorry you have had these issues! This forum really is a life saver.

I hope things improve for you.

@Celina Oh I was sad to read your post. From what I know the fact that an infection has caused your tinnitus is a very positive sign it will go, it will just take time. My son who is 9 had lots of ear infections and used to get bouts of tinnitus which cleared up. Your GP is right and I dont...

Forgot to add. Perhaps all the ear wax removals have inflamed the eustachian tubes or blocked them in some way.

I can relate to you. I had a baby 4 weeks ago and have tinnitus. Im currently taking prednisolone which has helped slightly. Its mainly in my right ear. I've been told that this is likely to be esuatchain tube dysfucntion and oedema from pregnancy which should settle with time. Its been a...

@attheedgeofscience thank you, I will x

@Gareth Davies Hi there, Im 3 weeks post partum and I have been told I have possible ETD but from hormonal imbalance as a result of delivery. I saw my GP and he prescribed me nasal spray mometasone and was told to bare with it and that it will get better but it takes time. I had similar...

Wish I had some advice for you. Hopefully someone will come along and offer their advice xx

@robert milvae This is absolutely horrendous. I wish there was something I could do to help you xx

Thank you for your replies. Sorry to hear you are suffering too. Your post was so positive and was really nice to read when I was up during the night with the sounds in my head. I've spoken to a London ent clinic consultant today who thinks its eustachian tube problem or a problem with the...

Thank you, I'm going to have a look at it now.

Hi everyone, I'm 33 years old and I gave birth to a beautiful little girl 2 weeks ago. However 6 days after her birth I started to experience what can only be described as the roar of a jet engine in my ears. They felt full and blocked. My regular doctor couldn't answer as to why this had...
