Can you ?

Hello AngelineCommander and welcome to the British Tinnitus Association forum. Do feel free to ask any questions, I hope that you find this a helpful and supportive place to help you manage your tinnitus.

However, I'm not sure what your question means - what do you mean by iterating? Has autocorrect put in a wrong word?

We have some resources that you might like to check out in addition to our home here:

My guess is irritating. If so, I would doubt that any irritation of your outer ear would have any impact on your T, which is buried deep within your brain.

[Hidden in reply to Ruud1boy]

then explain why it returns after irritating it ?

[Ruud1boy in reply to Hidden]

That's a really general question and frankly impossible to answer. How do you expect me to know what's causing your tinnitus on the basis of the 2 lines you've put on to the forum?

I would imagine the questions that your doctor would be asking would be what's causing the irritation of the ear? Which bit of your ear is getting irritated? How is this irritation manifesting itself?

Basically, you need to see your GP.
