- Cause of Tinnitus
- Sudden deafness in right ear
Hi all,
I lost hearing in my right ear in October 2024, and then the tinnitus began. It started as a low sound in my right ear but later spread to my left, with various tones reaching high up into my head. My hearing is now very sensitive, and I have had to miss out on things like going to the cinema and a wedding reception.
I am on Mirtazapine for depression and insomnia. I am scared for the future. I have been off work for 13 weeks and am currently living with my parents.
Since mid-October, I have started swimming and running again, which I used to do regularly. But I am still totally devastated. Right now, I am lying here with the tinnitus so high-pitched that I can barely hear anything else. It is so strange, just very very odd.
I am still in denial and cannot accept it yet.
