Hi I'm new here and I can see many people here suffer as I do . I have tried many things but nothing helps . I have had This since 2009 from two head surgery so but now the sounds are louder and I have new sounds that I never had befor...I really try not to focus on the sounds and I stay positive , I use a fan to sleep and that helps but once I'm asleep the sounds get louder and wake me up .
 
My sound is not loud just hissing, i hope you get relief.
I have loud hissing right now. Tinnitus is known to be very unpredictable and highly variable. I had a good quiet day 2 days or so ago, but then it resets upon awakening from a nap or in the morning after a nights sleep. Certain prescription drugs work for me some days and others not.
 
@Rozanna Lynch,

I also have hissing, mixed with some ringing at times. T can vary and there is no way to predict what it will do, minute to minute. My difficulties lie in being almost deaf in my right ear. This adds another twist. Even with a hearing aid, noises sound weird, tinny and hollow, like holding a seashell to your ear all day. It's like half my head is not working. This combination of things, is very disturbing and difficult to habituate to.

Mornings are the worst and like just1morething mentioned, naps are killer! I don't nap anymore.

Can it get louder? Yes it can, but it also can get softer. Some very lucky people, even have it disappear completely. So, going forward, protect your ears. I see you dive, so you need to be very careful! My ENT, lost most of his hearing in one ear and got T, from ascending to quickly from a dive.
 
@Sailboardman I can no longer dive :( but I still snorkel and I never go deep... I am deaf in one ear and 47% in my good ear I also have Minears Disease but the two head surgerys help my verdigo now I deal with life different but I'm ok with everything I know sign language and I try to stay positive .. Thank you
 
Hello Rosanna and welcome!
I think your situation is very similar to that of @glynis here on the forum. You both seem to maintain a Positive attitude in spite of your serious health issues!
 
Hi @Roszanna,
I have Menieres and had it a very long time.
We have a Menieres thread on hear too.
Lovely to read your post with positivity and not letting your Menieres rule your life.....lots of love glynis x
