I've had T for just over a week now. Woke up one morning to find a constant hissing in my ears which has continued ever since. The first 3 or 4 days really had me depressed probably because I couldn't stop focusing on the hissing. My wife says I tend to do that with things.I am on BP tablets, lowest dose, and noticed my BP had been increasing since I last had in readings to my GP in September, are showing 160/90. Anyway, I had my ears checked for wax etc by an audiologist, who said the were clean and the eardrums looked fine.
I managed to get an appointment with my doctor who checked my ears and BP.
He thinks it may be due to high BP, fingers crossed, and has increased my BP tablets. This is only my 3rd day on the increase.
I've to go back on Jan 8th to update the doc.
My youngest daughter, although being 37 is a constant source of grief for us and in the run up to Christmas was causing some stress for us. I'm hoping that with the increase in BP is the cause and can eventually be overcome.
I'm finding relief when driving or pottering around in the kitchen with the radio on. Trying to focus on other things brings relief for a while but then stupidly I think that's good I haven't heard hissing for a while only then to be aware of it again. I manage to fall asleep at night but if I wake up for the toilet etc it's a struggle to get back to sleep.
I've got a couple of mobile apps for tinnitus sounds that I use, not to any great effect unless I really turn up the volume.
Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated.
