I have been suffering for 12 mths and I have been telling them that I have been having sinus problems which I do have a spray for but my ears have been buzzing constantly 24 7 for a couple of years but I have always suffered with them since I was a child. So there is prob some damage. Anyway we doctors that come into the surgery for 6 mths. That are the ones to see as they will investigate everything I even got a full thyriod test, vit B 12 and a liver function test. She said I should of had a a full thyriod at the beginning of my journey so we have to start again. So there is hope out there it's just getting a good doctor who will listen. She booked me in to see her on Monday so will keep ya posted x

I am low in vit b12 and you get hissing your ears. I have to get more tests done to find out why then start getting vit b 12 injections every 3 mths for life. It's worth getting a thyroid test done and vit b 12 as well. Good luck
