Right, I'll do it this way then and see if it works...all I wanted to say initially is Good Morning everyone. PT was bad this morning so ended up making a mug of tea at 5am it's the anxiety bit that gets to me👍...but up showered and dressed now.
Look forward to hearing how everyone copes. Many thanks And by the way, I have ringing in the other ear constantly. Happy days. Have a good day.😀

Hi there. Sorry your pt was so bad this morning. My T changes. I tend to get pt when walking. It goes when I rest. The general T is there constantly and varies in tone and volume. I'm not working due to this and other issues. I'm waiting to see ENT again as it's dragging on. Recent appointment was cancelled at the last minute 🙄 I am awaiting audiology therapy which I'm told may include CBT to help habituate to the tinnitus. I expect the horses help do they?
Just to say good morning as well. My first post here but your post resonated with me (no pun intended 🙂). Think can appreciate what you going through. I've had constant tinnitus in both ears for quite a while which has ramped up over the last three years. Difficult to think about as gets worse as concentrate on it doesn't it. When wake up in early hours I usually have a quick blast in one ear of a tinnitus relief app noise mixture I've made up (I use a free app just called Relief). That sometimes takes the edge off the sound for a little while then listen to an uncomplicated story/sitcom on BBC Sounds or Audible or something like that. If that doesn't work then I do get up and watch tv downstairs for half hour or so....that calms me down usually, then go back to bed to listen to something. I expect you do similar stuff and during the day I keep some noise going that probably occurs naturally. If not have radio on, etc. This has helped me (in putting into words what helps me) probably more than you! but hope is of some use to you and reiterate as others say that you are not alone ..... all the best 👍
Is it actually 'ringing'. I'm sceptical about the description and I'm not sure it helps with getting over to researchers what we have. Could it be that bell ringing was a cause of tinnitus. I don't know how long bells have been around but when they were invented they would have been the loudest noise humanity had then generated. Perhaps somewhere along the way it flipped over to hearing a ringing sound instead and I just don't have that. For those I speak to about it, I ask them to make a hiss sound then ask them to imagine that in the ears but without the ss.
I'd be interested to know others opinion. Perhaps some do have a ringing sound. It would be reassuring to know one or the other.
Well the ringing in my ear was caused by EMTs and hearing test and them doing finger pumps and air blowing air in my ear and never had it before but I noticed that stress causes mine to be worse if I get really upset over something and I cry a lot that makes it louder but I've learned that I noticed that when it starts and for some reason my mind gets off on something else I'll go oh my ears not ringing anymore it's kind of like the more you focus on it the worse it gets and I know this because for about a year I focused on it and all I did was cry and got depressed I've learned over the years to try to keep my mind off of it at night if I can't sleep I'll take children's Mucinex or a piece of Xanax and I watch a bide sleep app on YouTube or a fireplace with the wind blowing through the cracks and next thing you know I'm sound asleep and I have woke up some mornings with that buzzing but it's mostly in my head and I'm like what the crap but I had had a very exciting dream the night before or stressful dream that's weird but having a stressful dream can cause it, I try to stay busy I think I have sand and painted almost every piece of furniture in my house, I like to take road trips go to Goodwill go to thrift stores I tried to not sit home very much and this is what makes me mad because before I met the person that calls me to get stressed out I was so content I had no anxiety I would sit my room on the couch or lay down and watch TV and eat chips and I was just happy and I would go to the thrift stores by myself I didn't feel like I do now now I'm full of anxiety full of anger because I feel he's the cause of it and I don't know I just not content anymore
