I had covid positive results for about 10 days, about 7 days into it I started with a constant ringing in one ear. It is really difficult to get to terms with the fact that I will have this for the rest of my life.
My gp has told me to take hayfever tablet medication once a day (I sometimes suffer from this) and prescribed me beconase 50mcg hayfever nasal spray.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm not doing anything to make it worse am I?
He has referred me to ENT but I'm assuming that will take a few months.
Thanks

About 8 months sorry to say - I hope yours will resilve. Though I have habituated to some extent and I only notice in silence, it is still there. There is some research going on into the link
I feel my Tinnitus worsened after Covid last November- it was unbearable at times and all over my head . Previously, I had a slight noise in my left ear. The audiologist I saw in January ( I now have hearing aids) seemed to think that a virus will attack at the easiest point of the body and that can be the ears, especially if there has been previous infection. Since CBT ( NHS) has a long waiting list, I'm paying for hypnotherapy with someone who can also use CBT techniques. The visualisations she uses are helping so far...
