    Can You Create Your Own Tinnitus?

    Hi Ibcman1 - sorry, I have gotten married since my post, and am actually on my honeymoon as I type, on New Years Eve! hahaha what a romantic!? I had the hearing tests, and passed fairly clearly. I had the CAT scans, and passed emphatically. I'm sorry to say that the T is still present...

    Can You Create Your Own Tinnitus?

    Hi Ibcman1 My own treatment has been delayed due to the unexpected death of my sister, so I've not gotten too far! However, I went to the GP a couple of months ago and here's what I have organised as a result: I have an appointment for a cat scan (which is really a ruling out process) which I...

    Can You Create Your Own Tinnitus?

    Yeah @RCP1 that was what I struggled with - a bit like what @I who love music said - you feel so unlucky and hacked off at the world. I must say, I feel significantly better now than a month ago.

    Can You Create Your Own Tinnitus?

    Thanks so much for your replies folks. Intuitively, I suspected what you have both said... these sounds were not unfamiliar since I'd heard them before. But previously I just thought "whatever" and carried on and they seemed to go away, whereas now I'm actively listening to see if I can hear...

    Can You Create Your Own Tinnitus?

    Hi everyone I just joined, and I'm asking a question I can't seem to find anywhere. Last week, I learned that my father has contracted severe tinnitus, rather suddenly. Immediately after the call, I started imagining what Tinnitus would sound like, in an effort to better understand what he was...
