Severe Tinnitus

[FreesignerRichie]

Hi everyone, I have severe tinnitus which is constant, and just drives me bonkers. No management seems to work but just intensifies. I worked along side audiologists so have quite a bit of knowledge around tinnitus and as well with deafness. I wear hearing aids as I’m hard of hearing. Even with hearing hearing aids my tinnitus is bad, I just can’t find a good coping mechanism at present. With the tinnitus I get severe headaches, vertigo, nausea, balance problems and episodes of blacking out or fainting. My audiologist, neurologists, ENT specialists have never looked at the possibility of Ménière’s disease, of which this could explain what’s going on. Also i have tried to avoid the 3 S’s (Silence, Stress, and Sleep) but that just does not do anything. I wanted to see if anyone experiences an electric shock pain that goes across the back of head from ear to ear? During a bad tinnitus attack.
