Hey all,
It must be my third thread here, but I'm still struggling a lot and I can't find proper solutions, although I'm reading nearly everything available here on TTalk and everywhere about T.
For those who never heard about me, I've had T for 10 years, but until very recently they were really bearable.
Last december, I was exposed to loud noises for the first time in 10 years and my T got worse. I thought I was going to get over it until 3 weeks ago :
I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible high pitch T (siren like) in my left ear. It was the loudest thing I had ever heard in my life and I told myself : "If this doesn't go away, I might as well just jump out of the window now". Seriously, it was about louder than anything around. I took Prednisone ASAP and the next morning it was back to normal.
Yet, since then, I've kept getting new sounds in both ears, and it's really becoming a Symphony now. I have a high pitch T in my left ear, a bileteral high hiss, a bilateral cricket sound and a middle/low pitch T in my right ear.
These last 2 sounds emerged in the last days, I just don't understand what's going on right now. I'm not taking any medication, my lifestyle is decent, I eat well, sleep well, everything's going OK. I didn't suffer any noise trauma or anything, my ears are always kept safe...
I have an appointment with a new ENT in 2 weeks, got prescribed Clonazepam by a neurologist (which I'm not taking for the moment 'cause I want to keep it as "last chance solution").
Did it ever happen to you ? Were you once awaken in the middle of the night by some ultra loud T ? Did you ever have any experience with new sounds coming one after another ? More importantly, do you think it can ease a bit ?
I'm really struggling right now. Trying to keep calm, but these new sounds all over are slowly by slowly driving me crazy
