High frequency pulsing tinnitus affected by outside noise sources
After years of regular tinnitus I now have pulsative tinnitus which is in the form of any high frequency sound (like traffic/ kettle boiling, wind etc) pulses in my right ear rather than being clear. Its always there but made worse by outside sounds which is tricky as I use a fan to help sleep and cover

Hearing test?
I know we are all different but I was just wondering if the general view is that Puretone audiometry, tympanometry and otoaccoustic testing is OK to go ahead with when you have tinnitus. I appreciate things needs to be measured but am a bit fearful of anything in my ears that will create a reaction.

Starting to give up
I have felt my hearing has just got dramatically worse and I fear if I tell my employers about it they might reproach me. It's so horrible having this at 20. I have tried everything to stop it worsening such as earplugs etc in heavy traffic etc and everything but don't know what else to do. I sometimes

Where to go from here
I am feeling utterly despondent and quite frankly mentally debilitated after my audiology assessment. The mere thought of hospitals induces a fear within myself I can't describe. Something about the clinical nature of the whole procedure is quite scary. Regardless, after having my first appointment

Capacity Assessment
What is the purpose of a capacity assessment for someone with
learning

. Are they necessary? My son is 47 with severe

Seen ENT specialist
Hi all, thought I'd give you a further update as I saw an ENT specialist yesterday. Please note that I live in Spain. Firstly, I was very impressed. He said there are 30 medical conditions which can cause T! He was very thorough and gave me alot if confidence in what he has proposed moving forwards
