Tinnitus

[Life Saab Itch]

I am a long term tinnitus sufferer.

Today it is really bad. It's drowning everything out. I just had to cut off a phone conversation with someone because I couldn't hear them, despite the conversation being on speakerphone at high volume.

It hasn't been this bad since I last hung pitboards over pitwalls.


Anyone else a sufferer? If so, do you get really bad days of it, then not notice it for a while? Or is it constant?

there are shed loads of different causes for tinnitus. you could try popping into a tinnitus clinic, they can offer a neuromodulation device which can help. i'm treating a patient (for another condition, not the tinnitus) who has had it and he said it's more tolerable.

not sure on the cost though.

As I posted on the Meniere's thread (see, two threads come along at once; see my other thread ), stress, a lack of sleep and/or eating the wrong things (salt, chocolate, coffee) can result in the symptoms being worse.

Yep, I've got it bad.

Used to go to a lot of gigs, and being tall it was very noisy as other people's heads weren't in the way.

I don't have good and bad days but I do notice it's got worse in distinct steps throughout my adult life.
