I need advice on what to do

[Olamilekan12]

Hi guys, I have had T now for a few weeks , I still haven’t been able to see the ENT .. I just want to ask does the T change sounds ? For two days now sometimes I hear the T like a screeching sound and this past two days sometimes it’s like it pulsates or thumps in my right ear.. and it gives me anxiety I have my lower right eye lid twitch almost every time…. But I also notice that whenever I get distracted with something else like watching a movie or I go outside on a walk or listening to music I don’t get to notice the T till I’m in a silent environment so I really don’t know how severe the T is .. I also find it hard to sleep at night , I recently started trying chamomile tea to help induce sleep. Are all these symptoms Normal? Or am I just overreacting to it . I used to enjoy being in silence now I’m scared to always be alone at home without a background music or sound

You have mild tinnitus if you don't notice it at times. At some stage you will probably consider wireless earphones to drown out what you have completely when you can do so. I don't have the pulsating effect so it's as well you are going to ENT.

Took me 3 to 4 months to come to terms with tinnitus. But we all do. It's called habituation. You might also find you get periods of silence back. I've done that with Ginkgo, but it's not straightforward and there are plenty who have no faith in Ginkgo. For me the stuff is part of my fightback.

hi Ray what’s Ginkgo ? Is it an over the counter medication?
