Experiences with

Ear conditions

I have pulsatile tinnitus in sync with my heartbeat. It is constant and differ in levels but always there. I found that if I keep my brain and hands busy with colouring books I just forget that the crickets are there, I manage to fall asleep if I stay on my back with my neck extended then they are less

I’ve just been diagnosed with AN and am now waiting for my local hospital’s neurologist team to contact me. My AN is pea sized and I am suffering moderate hearing loss and tinnitus. No vertigo yet. I’m not sure I can mentally cope with watch and wait which my consultant said would be the most likely

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my question about the safety of having a deep dental cleaning now that I've been diagnosed with CLL. I have read pretty much all of your messages but just don't have time to respond to everyone individually there have been so many. I'm going to postpone the deep

80 y.o. husband diagnosed with PD a little over one year ago (Nov.27 '23) not started on Sinemat until March 24 '24 which he is still on. Aside from several non-motor symptoms + mild hand tremors, the issue is dizziness which started as mild lightheadedness about 4-5 years ago, gradually

After my initial referral to ENT for tinnitus and severe single sided hearing loss in April I finally got an appointment at the beginning of December. The doctor then sent me for an MRI at the end of December (7 weeks ago) and since then I have been waiting for the report. I phoned the hospital 2 weeks

I'm looking for some coping advice and strategies.. Tinnitus is now starting to be overwhelming. I have two jobs over six days per week. It's making me be unable to hear what people are saying to myself. The ENT department send me emails... so many I cannot keep up reading them all. I passed an audiology

Hi, new to this group but been suffering with this affliction since November & am really not coping. Have to use sleeping tablets at night, any relaxation or masking sounds, no matter what volume, just stress me out as the T is dominant. Long story but T started out of nowhere, was just sitting quietly

Hi, I've stayed off this forum for a while as I've tried to reduce my focus on my tinnitus, however, I could do with some input. A few years back, when my back was playing up a lot, I found a mobility routine that helped and one of the exercises involved standing on one leg with the other knee raised

Hi all, I got tinnitus 1 year ago from stifling 3 sneezes. I felt a buzzing in my head so i guess it's some brain/nervous system injury. I have no issues with my ear or hearing loss. My stress level is low at the moment so my tinnitus got significant lower. Last night my finger got pinched in the

So...I have pulsatile tinnitus, eustachian tube dysfunction - a common story here I guess! Anyway the ENT has said I do NOT need hearing aids. I thought hearing aids always helped with tinnitus. What am I missing? I do have one sided hearing loss though it's not too bad.

As per my profile, I remember hearing T when I was 15 after a bout of flu. Now I'm 71 I know I've been hearing it permanently for about 40 years. Ironically I am kind of relaxed about my T, and I prefer "tea" to coffee these days. 😅 These days I also have a sinus issue, which has never gone away,

I have been losing my hearing since 2006 and am now profoundly deaf I have hearing aids which do not always work. I wear a lanyard around my neck stating I am deaf,as if I give the wrong answer to a question because I have not heard. The thing that really upsets me is when the phone goes I state please

Beginning in late afternoon and into evenings it starts in. Hearing music that isn't there. I picked up my digoxin that I've been prescribed for controlling my PAF for 18 months and in reading the side effects, I found hallucinations among them. I'm on a low dose, 0.125 mg. which has been therapeutic

Hello All, I am also one among tinnitus sufferers along with hearing loss since long time (10+ years). I have bilateral mixed hearing loss and I use hearing aid to manage my hearing I got tinnitus in the beginning of the hearing loss in 2010 , I was also scared as usual like others but gradually I was

I recently found out my husband has retrograde amnesia following a brain haemorrhage he had several years ago. When he left hospital he was very confused and though he became aware of this during his recovery, he did not want to admit to me and our children that he didn't remember who we were or anything

My sister is virtually immobile due to PSP and suffers with dizziness, sometimes for hours on end. She has lost her eyesight so the dizziness causes her to think she is falling. We encourage her to drink water and try to support her neck which tends to arch. She has previously been prescribed prochlorperazine

Hi I’ve just joined the forum as feeling pretty desperate and depressed about my tinnitus right now! I first heard my tinnitus after an ear infection in my teens so a long time ago. It began with a high pitched ringing noise just in the background and I guess I just lived with it. Over the years I know

Good evening on 15 mg Bisoprolol and 1.25 of Digoxin is this high? Going to see Cardiologist next week and been in hospital 4 times in last 4 months!! Tired Light headedness, is this normal??

just coming up to 3 years since my PV was diagnosed. For some months, I have been suffering with Tinnitus and now most days this is accompanied by “ pressure” in my ears. This is like constantly having my hands cupped over my ears, muffling speech. It’s a bit like experiencing a rapid decent in a plane
