Hi there. I'm a Manager in a call centre and I had three month off work initially and it helped me adjust to T. I went back to work 5 weeks ago and I did a phased return for 2 weeks just working part time hours, which helped me to adjust back to work. I've found it not too bad actually; better...

Hi Jelena, I was where you are now just two months ago. I was so scared and felt completely helpless, I just couldn't imagine being able to live my life with this awful sound 24/7. My body was exhausted from no sleep and my anxiety was through the roof. I'm now three months in with T and things...

I got it from a very severe ear infection in both ears

Hi Gaurav No not the same process. I think mine has just settled down/reduced with time thankfully. I take a small dose of diazapam a day and a few supplements (NAC, vit C, zinc, magnesium, vit B and D) but that's it really . I take 15mg of mirtazapine at night to help sleep and I find that it...

I'm really pleased for you Harry. Ive had T for 3 months now and it had reduced in volume some what. I'm hoping it continues to reduce and like you becomes barely noticeable. Can I please ask how your T started?

It's good to be back Markku and in a much better place than I was a few weeks ago!:)

I'm doing a little better :)

Hi there. I also have had T for about two months. Really struggling also but mainly with sleep; only getting 3-4 hours a night ; I can barely function I am that tired. Can I please ask what sleep meds have helped you? Thank you

I'd just go back to my wonderful happy life with no anxiety, nights out with my friends, I'd smile more, have fun more and get some sweet sweet sleep :)

I am really happy for you! That's great news. I keep trying to think that mine will go soon and too am eating healthier, cut out caffeine etc. I hope everyday that I am as lucky as you. Can I ask how your T started please? And when it went away, was it gradual or did you just wake up one...

Hello @Dr. Nagler, I started with T 5 weeks ago now at the end of a sever ear infection in both ears. I also have had RA For about 5 years now and beginning to think that this might also be related. I am on Methotrexate for RA and also wondered if this could have caused it as it is ototoxic. I...

Week 6 and totally fed up :(

Hi @jeffie7 the ENT never mentioned anything like that or even offered and MRI actually. He mustn't have been concerned that that could be the cause or I'm sure he would have said something. However I can understand why sometimes they do want to check for tumors. My best friends brother had...

Hi @Twitch it was ok actually. He was really nice. I had my hearing tested and it's perfect so I was happy that I don't have any hearing loss. He's referred me for CBT and they've just called today to arrange an initial assessment tmrw. He told me what I already knew to be fair; that there is...

How do you mean complicated ? Do you mean the cause of it or the sounds you hear (sorry for all the questions)

what did he get his T with? Was it both ears? And how bad was it?

I is there somewhere else I should be going instead do you think? I thought an ENT was the first step?

Hi Fiore. Got it 2 and 1/2 weeks ago yes in both ears, although it feels like more in my head ! It was from a very bad ear infection. I've never been to an ENT before and I'm a little scared to be honest. I don't know what they will do and I don't want to leave with unanswered questions but...

Hi Shaun. Where do u buy bioflavonoids please? Is it only online ? Also what are NAC's. ? Susan x

I have my first ENT appointment on Friday. Can anyone please tell me what to expect. Also what questions should I be asking?

It's good to have such supportive people around me :)

Thank you for your positive words. I am getting help from a home support crisis team now and have a little medication and daily support which is helping somewhat. I'm still deeply worried and scared and hoping everyday that things will improve. I'm glad you are dealing with things better. I...

Hi nills, sorry I didn't mean I've actually been playing with my phone in bed. I actually can't think of doing much right now let alone play on my phone. It's the stream noises/white noise etc that I've been playing through an app on my phone but I think like someone else has mentioned i...

Thanks for this. I'm not nervous about taking them because I need something to help me now otherwise I don't think I'd be here tmrw ! I've had half a tablet at tea time and it helped to calm me somewhat and noise reduced enough for me to get a little relief. Really hoping I can get a little...

im new to all this so sorry for asking lots of questions but 1/ what is a benzo? 2/ do you mean both are benzos or just diazapam? 3/ how did they mess you up?

Thank you for this. I'll have a read. I've been given diazapam; is that the same thing please? Just wondered with it ending in "Pam" if it is just another brand name maybe?

It is def it is the noise with me also. I do try to stay calm at bedtime. But the noise just bellows. I'm not handling any of this well at all

Thanks all. I'm in a&e right now. Husband called an ambulance after I I had the biggest shaking attack for over an hour. I don't know if it's panic attack or the sleeping tablets but I'm a pretty bad state at the minute. I really hope I can build the strength that u good people have

B I really do try to breath through it and calm down but the noise is just SO LOUD. At a loss what to do.

Just playing through my iPhone laid at the side of me on the bed. It used to help in the first week but in week 2 it just made the noise worse. Scared to take anymore sleeping tablets now cause I've just had a massive shaking fit for over an hour and very dark thoughts. So scared right now

I've been getting out for a walk every day for an hour or so and I'm so so tired but the noise just won't let me sleep.

Nope. Didn't get any at all. Felt sleepy all night but the noise at the top of my head was just blaring (and still is!) and I couldn't sleep past it.

Zopiclone 3.75 mg

i don't think I can bear another day/night of this. There is just no relief from it

I've got this thanks. But over the last few days my ears have become hypersensitive to any noise and the shower noise etc that had been soothing now just makes it worse and spikes all over my head :( feel at a loss

Took 2 sleeping tablets and even though yes I felt sleepy all night, the noise was a screaming so much in my head, it just wouldn't let me sleep. I'm at a loss right now. Dark days ahead !:(-

God this is hard and I'm not sure I can do it!:(

Feeling sad for the life that I have lost :(

Thank you Shaun I might just do that

Thank you Shaun. I have now deleted my status after some unhelpful idiot replied that "I could always take my own life". Like I haven't thought about that! But I don't someone telling me to do it. Had the night from hell, got a spike in my left ear that was through the roof for about half and...

I've been given propranolol for anxiety and said will hopefully improve sleep. But she didn't give me specific sleep meds for some reason ? Wish I'd asked for amitriptyline. Might have to go back I guess.

I've got an appointment with the doctor in 2 hours to ask for some anxiety meds and something to help me sleep. So scared of them giving me something that will make this worse or is otoxic. Anyone got any advice please? Thank you :)

Thanks Mike. I'll do some internet shopping tomorrow and stock up on these. Would love something to just knock me out and sleep right through. I'm sure the lack of sleep is just making the anxiety worse. Hope u all sleep well tonight :)

Thank you Shaun. All of these posts from you lovely people keep making me cry. You are all so nice and supportive. :) I keep reading about melatonin. What is it please? Is it something I buy from a chemist or does a Dr have to prescribe it?

Hi Kathi. Thanks for your reply. Can I please ask what helped you in the early days? Did you have CBT or similar? medication? Any advice would be gratefully received :)

Thank you Mike for your reply. I'm going to make an appointment for GP again tmrw and ask to see ENT. I can feel anxiety cranking up as it gets nearer and nearer night time. Making me feel sick right now. Going to take some sick time off work for a while also as I don't think my busy...

I am in week 2 of new tinnitus and hypercausis after an awful ear infection in both ears. I'm really struggling and feel very low right now. I saw doctor last week and she just told me to go back in a few weeks if it's still just as bad. I know there isn't much can be done, my mum got it last...

Week 2 and I am scared! Please help
