Aww Glynis thats lovely and great for you to spend quality time with your grandchild. Its good you still can do that ie collecting from school. My daughter started school on Tues and goes properly full time the end of the month and she also has to wear a uniform now. The school run keeps me...

Hi Jason no I have not had it removed yet I have to wait 2 weeks to see ENT to remove it. I do not have it syringed but mirco suctioned. Started ear drops today to help soften and remove it in the mean time

Hi Glynis how are you? I am not great to be honest. Currently in bed. Been to a&e this morning after having another spike this morning and its still loud now. They just looked in my ears and said ear wax and to see someone about getting it removed. I am finding it hard to hear on and off and...

It seems to have stopped now not sure what caused the constant popping and muffled hearing maybe it was my ET or maybe being in the shower I don't know.x

I have had something similar before also where i was eating and every chew my ear was popping almost as if something was hitting off my eardrum. I did wonder if this was more of an ETD. I guess its just scary because its not something i am used to and how it makes me hear in that moment. I feel...

I have had problems on and off for a long time now and went two years with no tinnitus. Anyway it flared up a year ago after a pregnancy which is the same pattern as before. Anyway I seem to be struggling to hear what people say on and off but again this happened years ago before it settled...

It does work like that I had pretty bad tinnitus back in 2011/2012 for 18 months and I was obessesed crying and researching it all the time and forums which helped in that moment but my partner and things online would say about searching the net probably never allows you to ever forget it or try...

Aww thanks Glynis. Its hard to smile right now I try to carry on as normal for my daughter but I feel like a failure because I can't give her the old normal me and I feel even more worse when I struggle to hear what shes saying during these bad times. I feel nervous about today as my heads not...

Aww thanks Glynis. Its hard to smile right now I try to carry on as normal for my daughter but I feel like a failure because I can't give her the old normal me and I feel even more worse when I struggle to hear what shes saying during these bad times. I feel nervous about today as my heads not...

Hi Glynis how are you? Thats the thing I do not feel I have hearing loss its weird I know but my hearing is only ever reduced when tinnitus is loud if its there and mild I hear okay. Its because people will talk and I hear the tinnitus before I hear them. Strange because soon as it calms down I...

So my tinnitus has been bad recently some days better managed than others. Today though its raging I can hardly hear over it. Does anyone else experience hearing difficulty because of tinnitus? I mean when its super loud. Its always been the case for me especially only hearing out of 1 ear...

Is there anything to do or take that actually works to get relief from these symptoms? Having a tough time with nausea and dizzy every day and loud tinnitus I struggle to hear over. Betahistine does nothing for me. Prochlorperazine does stop the nausea for a couple of hours before the next dose...

@Jkph75 thats great to hear you do not have MS. So having walked away from the appointment what was the diagnosis? Have they said its Menieres for sure or do they not know? Its the same with me I do not get vertigo so its frustrating not knowing whats what. Especially with me I get dizzy with no...

I agree with the above comment it could mean finding something and which doesnt mean its always serious could mean the cause of your symptoms like tinnitus and dizziness which could result in treatment to stop these symptoms. Does anyone know if CT scans would detect lesions (thank you for the...

Same

@Jkph75 sorry to hear about the MRI not going to well. I can't say what it may be it could be anything and I am sure a lot of treatable/minor things so try not to worry but easier said than done as I would be the say. The only suggestion I can make but again I am not sure I have only heard of...

Still feeling really dizzy lost count how many days its been its got to be in the second week now. Betahistine is not helping. Not vertigo but really bad dizziness where although I can walk I feel off balance and floaty. Surely there has to be something that can settle it to take? Its not normal...

@Jkph75 aww sorry to hear you went through so many miscarriages that must of been tough. I'm glad you now have 2 children after trying for so long. I have PCOS so I certainly have hormones problems. I miscarried in Sept 2015 but had on going hearing problems since then on and off. Follows the...

A couple of questions if anyone can answer...... how long can someone go into remission and by this does it mean having no symptoms? Would this remission period still continue to make hearing loss progress or would it stop any damage in that period? I am just confused as I have had these...

The past few days tinnitus has been lower and what does that mean? My hearing is better hmm. But today its more noticable again. I feel nervous because I have been getting a sensation which scares me. When ever I am standing or sitting (not as bad sitting) I feel like I'm being pulled down...

@Jkph75 my daughter was born in 2012 but was having tinnitus and hearing issues during the pregnancy in 2011. No i have not tried that medication. What does it do? Well I have not actually lost hearing (touch wood) its always low when my tinnitus is blaring because I can't hear over it. But when...

@Jkph75 also just to add who knows if this will get worse or not if you had known how much I suffered back in 2011/2012 I thought that was me suffering with tinnitus like that forever it was so bad, so loud, sensitive hearing, reduced hearing, sensation of popping at the end of someone talking...

@Jkph75 I mean 2nd opinion (due to see another ear specialist next month)

@Jkph75 I can't believe that your in the same boat as me I thought I was alone with being deaf in one ear and tinnitus and dizziness issues. I have no idea thats what scares me and fearing it will get worse. Mine is currenly very loud to I struggle to hear over it. Do you struggle to hear over...

So I done the first nursery run didn't like it very much it felt as if I was walking on an escalator and my feet felt heavy. I rushed to get home but I have to do it again later on to pick my daughter up. I looked at all the other parents and I couldn't help but think I wish I was in their shoes...

@Darren13 my audiology and ENT consultant told me someone like ourselves would be the perfect candidate because we have hearing experience so to speak so it makes it easier for the brain to adapt to using an implant. My audiology also said those who were born deaf can still have the same results...

@Jkph75 it must be really hard having two young children to look after when you feel so bad in yourself because all you want to do is rest until at least 1 symptom eases up. I think a lot of people have episodes so they still get to do normal things in between with milder symptoms maybe. But...

A question for anyone....how do you cope when your having a rough time with tinnitus and dizziness and need to go out to collect your child from school? My partner has been out of work but is returning tommorow just typical that I am in a bad way at the moment. I am able to get up and walk but I...

@glynis that must be horrible for you having an increase in your tinnitus when it is already bad. What results did your balance tests come out as? Which tests did you have done was it just a caloric where they use water/air? Did you have vertigo from it? They say a normal ear should cause you to...

@Darren13 did you have any balance testing? I had the caloric test but used warm air rather than water and it showed low on both sides. I wonder if this has always been the case or if my good ear has lost some of this over the years. Would you consider a cochlear implant if your hearing did get...

@glynis how are you? I did ask my doctor about having the two and he said no you can only be on one at a time. Even advice from pharmacies have said to leave a 6hr gap between the two but obviously taking serc x3 a day thats not possible to do. I am in a constant emotional battle at the moment I...

Can I just ask is there anything I can do myself to make MD symptoms go or ease up? Ie ear pressure (keep needing to pop my ears) or dizziness. I have started to take serc off my own back again but scared because it done nothing previously. Is there anything else other than serc or...

@Darren13 sorry for the late response I have not been online. If you don't mind me asking how old are you? How are your symtoms currently ie do you get any good days? What medication or advice have you been given? More importantly how is your hearing? I am really struggling currently my ear...

Has anyone taken this medication before for Migraine? If so did it have any affect good or bad? Is it ototoxic to the ears? ENT wants me to take it when I feel dizzy or head pressure to rule out Migraine. The consultant said it won't make my Tinnitus any worse but I am not so sure. Having a hard...

H Glynis thank you I will keep trying to access the message. I know what you mean its like I am obssessed all over again googling everything. I don't just miss my old life I miss life in general because theres so much I want to do but can't because I know I am never going to feel normal. I feel...

Hi Glynis how are you feeling now? Have you private messaged me? I can see I have a message but can not open it and been having difficulty getting on this site its taking ages to load or not at all so not getting to read much on here. Hmm this is all new to me as I say I have never had ear...

Lately mainly today my hearing as felt reduced its a feeling like you get when you have a cold like your ears feel stuffy and a bit more distant. I have been getting on and off pressure and a feeling as if something is in there. Everytime i plug my ear with my finger its wet but ENT on Monday...

Congrats Natalie on the birth of your baby. I hope your both doing well :-) x

Hi Teri yes your right it is anxiety. I have cried today and had heart palpitations and felt unwell because I feel that scared and confused. Do you suffer dizziness often? I am dizzy every day some days are more worse than others not vertigo but I feel my eyes off focus say in a moving car and...

What tests did you have to get diagnosed? I only ask because of how long it took you to get diagnosed. Ahh thats not to bad then but still allows you to have some independance getting out each day. I am at my placement tomorrow all day and do not feel like it after today. I am thinking of asking...

Aww Glynis sorry to hear that and heres me moaning. Have you been off work then? I hope they are supportive. I do wonder how its going to be possible to hold down a job with this. So basically I must have Menieres from what your saying if presents differently in everyone. I always thought I...

Hi Glynis and Teri thank you for the replies. Yeh I am in the UK Glynis. I've just woke up from a nap I feel terrible, still hearing the Tinnitus and just feel confused and low. I don't know what to believe. Should I be getting a second opinion? I didn't feel convinced that ENT was convinced...

I have been ENT today and hes now saying its a bit of Menieres along with migraine and sent me on my way with migrainemedication. I am upset because I am soconfused. How can I have a little bit of Menieres? I either have it or I don't. Heseemed a bit baffled like he didn't know what to say to my...

But in these hard times I do fully believe in using the forums. I mean when you get to a good place maybe less reading about it. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't came across bad from my last post. I really hope yours settles to and mine also seems louder when I tune in to it. We will get there...

Iana just to add when I first had it come on bad during and after pregnancy I was obssessed by it I literally googled it all the time, went on forums it was all I focused on. I didn't even allow myself to go out and have fun ie cinema or meals in fear of making it worse and feeling terrible for...

Hi Kay I had to respond when you mentioned your 8 week old daughter. Please be strong for her I know the feeling I have been there when I went through bad tinnitus for 18months-2 years during and after pregnancy I had good days but mainly bad and mine did settle for 2 years where it went I...

I have been thinking how T makes me feel and in all honesty it scares me because of the uncertainty of it like not knowing how its going to go in the future but I presume we all think the same and presume the worst in terms of it getting louder to extremes we can't imagine. But above all that...

Hi Tamika I am sorry your going through a difficult time I totally understand as I am going through it to. My tinnitus at the moment is loud enough at times that I can hear it over most things even outside in a car or a busy store. I was like you 2/3 years ago not functioning well, lying in bed...

Hi Iana firstly well done for managing your T for so long maybe you being so young helped and having so much to focus on. I am 27 and first had T around 2010 which was so mild I did not require any support because I still lived normally I basically hardly heard it. Anyway during and after...

I just wondered if in the mean time it would help with the ear pressure feeling which is annoying me but if it doesn't work for that I won't bother taking. Thank you I hope I get some answers I really have had enough x

Hi Hotaru its horrible isn't it? How long have you had tinnitus for? I am going to the dentist next week so will mention this to them. Has anything helped your tinnitus?x

Hi Glynis I do not wear a hearing aid i did however used to wear a WNG but stopped when my tinnitus improved well before that due to them always breaking on me. Not sure if could be an inner ear infection because my one ear feels full, warm and pressure all on my jaw. Could serc relieve ear...

Hi Noisebox I do not have Menieres my ENT consultant told me. I am not convinced but I do not have vertigo or sickness ever. The dizziness is always there in some form though but I did go 2 years with no tinnitus(could not hear it not even in quiet environments) so would this be Menieres because...

My tinnitus is still bad along with feeling dizzy as always and my ear just feels not right like blocked on and off like pressure deep inside and a sensation like something is there but theres not. I just feel like the odd one out like every one I know has no issues like this and here I am...

Waking up this morning to the roaring/whistling wind sound is getting to me I guess I keep hoping that I am going to wake and Its back to the quietness I have experienced for 2 years. I really am trying to keep it together and although I am not crying I feel so sad and helpless inside. I don't...

Aww how cute Glynis. Hasn't that time flown by? I remember when you told me you had a grandchild on the way x

Aww sorry to hear that Glynis but rest is a must. I hope your not having to go to work tomorrow? You do really well to go work with 24/7 dizziness. Do you get the spinning vertigo attacks often? That must make you bed bound for a while. Yeh my daughter is 3, shes 4 next month. Thank you I hope...

My pain is on and off to. My spike has been the past couple of weeks since before Christmas. I have had a couple quieter days in that time though. Mine also feel full but not constantly I have it on and off where I my ears will have pressure then go after a while and sometimes itchy deep inside...

Hi Glynis how did you get on at the doctors? Well I am seeing a physio atm seen him around 3 times but he wants to discharge me back to ENT as hes not sure what to do all he suggests is a different diet because he believes its migraine causing the dizziness with out the head pain. I am on the...
