Does anybody else suffer with Tinnitus? I started with it about 3 years ago. It always seems worse when I have a fibro flare.

Thanks for a quick reply you two,

it took my doc ages to diagnose tinnitus because it wasn't a ringing noise he said it couldn't be. I went to see an audio specialist and he said it was he said any continual noise can be tinnitus even hearing voices. So that pleased me the voices have a name, so do the bells, buzzing whooshes and whistles.

Hi I too have had this for years and yes when I am ill it goes into overdrive drives me nuts so I tend to put on music to try and reduce the noises.

Me too, had it for years, definitelty worse when I flare but flaming annoying the rest of the time too. Its 24/7 for me so I have learnt to ignore it to an extent but I hate never having silence

I use my ipod, my partner plays hell because of the ear plugs he keeps telling me I will strangle myself with the wire! (hmmm bit of wishful thinking maybe?)

Me too. I've either got a dirty big chinook helicopter in my head or a lorry with it's engine running in my head.
