Experiences with

Hearing tests

Hi all, just an ask, I had a hearing test with NHS in Jan of 22. I've not had a follow up since and nothing scheduled. I have NHS HA. Does anyone else get checkup appointments, and if so how frequently? Thanks

My 2nd post: I don't get on with hearing aids and feel one reason is that hearing tests are unreliable. Does anyone else here feel the same? I've had several this year alone. Specsavers only tested me on 6 frequencies, whereas the other tests were on 8.

I also had 2 hearing tests and was told my hearing was good for my age and I didn’t need hearing aids. I’ve done lots of research and I have to just live with it. I also have pressure in my ears which I don’t understand ? just need to speak to others to get some insight on how to manage it.

Completely lost hearing in my left ear and after hearing tests last August it had returned to 40%. Audiologist suggested hearing aids which she said would reduce my tinnitus and help my balance. Well they haven't. Finally had appointment with consultant ENT yesterday.

However, follow up hearing tests revealed it took 2 weeks for my right sided hearing loss to return to "normal". MRI of head, with dye, did not reveal a cause for the sudden onset hearing loss. Has anyone had hearing loss associated with GCA?

Gp gave me the tinnitus website link and I keep reading about ENT appointments, hearing tests, etc. My mum and grandma had hearing loss and my mum had tinnitus and wore hearing aids and I told my Gp this.My tinnitus started after I caught Covid again and my endometriosis symptoms got worse too.

I was first diagnosed with tinnitus 8 years ago following hearing tests and MRI scan. At the time hearing aids were suggested along with an app to provide a gentle white noise to help mask my tinnitus.

Hearing tests, audiologists, and ENTs clouded the picture more insisting I had no hearing loss. The foam plugs caused issues like infections, and other pains. I went to custom moulds. However, these cause a resonant 'occlusion effect' of a booming voice.

I have seen 2 separate ENT specialists who actually done very little and I have had 3 hearing tests which all revealed my hearing was OK. My vasculitis specialists believes my illness is isolated to my hearing and I am awaiting drug infusion when they finally get to my number in the queue.

Hello looking for some advice please. My partner who has cerebellar ataxia, diagnosed 17 years ago, has started to show some signs of hearing loss….or has she? Or is this something to do with the sort of cognitive delay between hearing words and being able to process them due to the Ataxia? More importantly

As a follow up to my recent post...and to recap, 6 months into Tinnitus that started following performing at a gig with excessively loud stage volume....on Mirtazipine for 4 months (hoping to taper off in August) and 10 CBT sessions in...... I currently take care with noise, wear hearing protection

I'm a musician and teacher, and I've had tinnitus since 2007. Mine is high and low frequency. While I habituated over time to the high pitches, I have never got used to the low-rumble. The condition is now causing me significant worry, as it appears to be gradually getting worse over time, and now my

I have had hearing tests, blood tests, MRI’s of ears and brain, but no cause was found.

Yesterday I attended a vestibule clinic, I had a hearing test which showed mild hearing loss. The tests shows I do not have vestibule issues, but she did say she could refer me to the tinnitus clinic, who could possibly use aids to drown out the high pitched screeching that is there constantly.

Hello Last Sunday out of nowhere this high pitched ringing/static sound started for me. It's really thrown me off as I'm also a university student trying to get assignments done before Xmas and I can't concentrate without thinking about the sound! My husband is away on a military deployment and I'm

Hi all I am really suffering with an escalation in my tinnitus. Following a hearing test (only mild to moderate impairment), the Audiologist doctor and lovely support worker at Tinnitus uk, all agree that it’s been caused by a series of stress related issues. I have never had anything like this before

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I have tinnitus in one ear. I see some posts from people with similar issues and would like to share my story so far. I don't think my tinnitus is severe, relative to what other people here are going through, and my heart goes out to all sufferers. I would like to

Hello :) I have noticed over the last year that my hearing has become a bit embaressing. I am 34 and find when socialising with friends I'm constantly saying pardon, or just smiling because I can't hear and hope that my nods are in the right place. I have seen online that lupus can effect your hearing

A old man went to the Doctors for his yearly check up, The doctor said do you want a sit before we start The old chap said loudly NO ÌTS OK I HAD ONE BEFORE I CAME OUT, Then the Doc said I want you to lay on the floor and do 2 press ups because I want to listen to your heart, So the old chap

Hi I have had tinnitus since Oct 2022 following a nasty RTA. It was diagnosed last January. I was referred to audiology who did a hearing test and gave me a leaflet. I was on the waiting list for the local tinnitus clinic for 15 months. I am going back tomorrow to have hearing aids fitted to help mask
