Some days good some days bad

[Gowfer]

Some mornings I wake up and I don’t immediately notice my tinnitus. Other times it’s absolutely howling at me. I asked at the clinic as I thought it was due to a bad neck and depended on whether I had slept in an awkward position as I do tend to nod off in uncomfortable positions. They said it was probably due to blood flow but didn’t elaborate and I don’t really understand why this could affect the severity on a day to day basis. Thanks

Hello 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.

Tinnitus can be affected by changes in blood flow to the ears, or pain or damage in the neck. I think if we knew exactly why, it would help solve some of the mysteries of the condition!

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