Tinnitus and Weather

[CrystalB]

I know this may seem like a really weird question!

Does anyone's tinnitus seem to get worse during bad weather, such as rain, cold weather etc?

 

[Jason37]

Yes

 

[Tinker Bell]

Yes. There are quite a few people who experience this.

 

[David077]

Yes.

 

[dayma]

I haven't noticed but I need to watch out for this.

Some people experience worse tinnitus when there's a change in barometric pressure. I do, and also get symptoms in the chest that are very scary, as well. Some people get migraines, bone pain, all kinds of things.

 

[Will89]

Yup! It's an odd one.

If it's an especially cold day, I sometimes get a tinnitus spike when I go from the cold to inside warmth quickly.

I've never noticed a change because of the weather. However when I wake up and there's rain pattering on the window, it does cover up part of ringing and they're the times where I can get a few minutes lie-in. The same is waking up on a spring morning, with the window open and birds outside are tweeting.

The only thing I've found that fully covers the ringing is when I'm outside and it's very very windy. If I had the money I'd buy a house on a stormy island or a rain forest, would be even better.

Cold weather does do something to the blood that's near the surface, or yeah barometric pressure, so does make sense.

 

[Maria Francesca]

Yes, weather affects mine.

 

[Forever hopeful]

Not that I have noticed. Mine just spikes constantly all day driving me nuts with no rhyme or reason.

 

[Mart007]

No, in my case tinnitus sounds the same, no matter what weather it is.
