Anybody Suffer From Tinnitus?

Does anybody, here, suffer from Tinnitus? I’ve had it since around 1996. Usually, it’s just the typical super-high pitched tone that is continuous. Today, just to be different, my Tinnitus is giving me a nearby river, a nearby stream, a nearby electric fan, a nearby conveyor belt and the high pitched tone added on.

Anybody else have Tinnitus? :grinning:

I have suffered with Tinnitus since 1973, when I was pregnant with my second son. I was diagnosed with Menieres Disease and the tinnitus is the result of that. I am completely deaf in the ear which has tinnitus. Having lived so long with this it has become part of my life and I barely notice it anymore.

Yes and i do believe for ever . I cant remember a time i never lived with the highest pitch of noise whistling and hissing in both my ears . I tune into it to try to lose it , then i tune out and its louder than previously. I love sleep for the peace . I wake and I’m back into the screeching again . I long for peace

The funny thing is that I have had it for many years but it was only when it stopped for a few seconds that I realised I had it. I know it drives some people mad but it doesn’t worry me at all to be honest.

Mine started 20 years ago during cancer treatment, not too bad and I had more to worry about so tried not to focus on it, getting used to it over time

However since using hearing aids a few months ago it has got much worse, especially when I first wake up in the morning, again I’m trying to make light of it, theres far worse I could have, but I would love to get rid of it……

I used to get tinnitus pretty bad, it started in the 70s, I was in my 30s. Now, as I get more & more deaf, it rarely troubles me.

Yes I do but it isn’t too bad, can live with it. Today its just a high pitched whine but a quiet one.

I do and have for years. It screams in both ears. I’ve tried clearing ear wax in various ways to see if that helps and it doesn’t. Got used the the fact I’ll probably have to live with it the rest of my life.
