Newbie Questions

[NZ36]

I'm only just become aware of tinnitus, but have a few questions I hope someone can answer?

My main high pitch ringing has dropped away quite a bit. It's still there but seems more muted/constrained.

While this is great, I'm now more aware of the even higher pitch tone and loud static ringing it was masking.

I have also found my affected ear is super sensitive to sound, and although there's quite a bit of hearing loss, it's picking up things my unaffected ear isn't.

Is this typical?

Thanks

Hi,
Tinnitus can change in sound and strength any time and can be for no reason or for a few reasons.
Tinnitus can cause your ears become sensitive to sound and if the sensitivity becomes problem you could have Hyperacusis .
You are doing well and let your doctor know about your tinnitus and if becomes a problem he can support you too as emotions can be up and down at first...lots of love glynis
