Newbie awaiting an MRI
Hello, I have just had a consultation today (Audio Vestibular department) following a hearing test I booked last year due to worsening tinnitus and slight hearing loss at 37yrs young. I was confused when the consultant said he would like to do an MRI and a blood test. Me being me, I started googling

Hearing assessment
I am still battling with getting clear speech from my ReSound aids. I have come to the conclusion that it’s not the aids but the settings. I see that Boots , apart from doing a hearing test, also do a full hearing assessment. I have made an appointment and see it takes more than an hour. Can anyone

High frequency pulsing tinnitus affected by outside noise sources
After years of regular tinnitus I now have pulsative tinnitus which is in the form of any high frequency sound (like traffic/ kettle boiling, wind etc) pulses in my right ear rather than being clear. Its always there but made worse by outside sounds which is tricky as I use a fan to help sleep and cover

Hearing test?
I know we are all different but I was just wondering if the general view is that Puretone audiometry, tympanometry and otoaccoustic testing is OK to go ahead with when you have tinnitus. I appreciate things needs to be measured but am a bit fearful of anything in my ears that will create a reaction.

Starting to give up
I have felt my hearing has just got dramatically worse and I fear if I tell my employers about it they might reproach me. It's so horrible having this at 20. I have tried everything to stop it worsening such as earplugs etc in heavy traffic etc and everything but don't know what else to do. I sometimes
