Update on my check for possible Acoustic Neuroma.
I had my hearing test yesterday and was very relieved to hear that they didn’t think that I needed referring for a head scan or ENT appointment for suspected Acoustic Neuroma. Thanks very much for the support on this site.

Does it get worse
Hi, I have had Tinnitus my whole life or at least as long as I can remember. I didn't realise that it wasnt normal until a few years ago. I am not sure how I ended up with it, my up bring was very stressful and my mother would often give me high stress painkillers to keep me quiet. I have read some research

waiting for a hearing test to check for acoustic neuroma
Hi, I’ve had hearing aids for 8 years due to tinnitus. Recently my left ear feels very different from my right. It feels blocked and very deaf. I’ve also had 2 episodes of really loud tinnitus that I’ve never had before. When the tinnitus calmed down I had a migraine later. I’ve been having more migraines

Hello acoustic shock
Hello everyone, I was shopping online and bought 3 personal alarms for £10 they are advertised for children to take to school by attaching them to their schoolbag and the elderly to raise the alarm if they fall out of a chair for example. So I bought these alarms and they arrived on the 24th June and

I need a quick diagnosis either way, after advise please.
Hi. I had sudden onset tinitus in my right ear in March. After 3 weeks of ignoring it I went to the Dr's. I had drops to clear the wax, which I had to stop after a week due to excruciating pain, and then steroid spray. Because I had continued pain in ear/ right hand side of head, numbness on right side

Ear Wax
Has anyone else had issues getting ear wax removed on the NHS. My sons hearing aid dept say he needs new moulds and an updated hearing test but can't do it due to wax. They don't do removal and his GP now say they don't either. Only option appears to be privately at approx £60/70

London based audiologists
I am new to this group. I recently had a sudden onset of Tinnitus around 4 weeks ago. A high pitched tone that is constantly present, and as like many others, it is worse in the nights and mornings. Getting out into the drone of traffic etc helps mask it but it returns as soon as I am in a quiet space

ENT visit
So, I got to see adn ENT after a referral from my GP. However, it wasnt an ENT but a very nice assistant who did a hearing test, which I have had already and also a pressure test. What was interesting was that the pressure test was normal on my "good" ear but could not be performed on my bad ear.

Possible AN on my left, awaiting an MRI but struggling to take my mind off it
Good morning, I've struggled with a bit of tinnitus for a while so eventually contacted my GP about it 2 years ago. I also often feel a bit dizzy and stuff but I'm a long term Hypothyroidism and pernicious anaemia patient, so that kind of comes with the territory! GP sent me to Specsavers for a hearing

Loud Music
Hi, first post. A couple of months ago after 4 hours at a very loud music venue, I awoke to a hissing in both ears, left worse than right. I’ve found this so stressful in a way that I couldn’t never have imagined before. It feels like the noise has taken over. I’ve been for a hearing test and it’

why did I not go sooner
hi, I have a large (3cm) acoustic neuroma diagnosed this week. I will find out the recommendation in 2 weeks. I always put my loss of hearing and tinnitus down to stress. But then I started getting a fullness feeling in my ear and had a hearing test and MRI. It worries me about surgery and the not

It’s not hearing loss, it’s Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (they think)
Since having bacterial meningitis in January 2023, my ears have felt sort of blocked. After my follow up appointment a couple of weeks of coming out of hospital, they thought I had lost some hearing. I had a hearing test today- hearing is absolutely fine. They think I may have Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Tinnitus spiking after car journey
I have had right sided tinnitus for 4 months brought on initially by a virus and consolidated by Covid 2 months later. I am still trying to understand how it works. So far, I can deal with it during the day although it does spike at times. I have seen GP (quite helpful), ENT consultant (pretty useless

counselling
hi there, I am wondering how many people with
learning
disabilities
have access to counselling. Are there specialist counsellors that are better equipped for people with LD or would any counsellor be willing and able?
