Tinnitus and brain tumor

I wish I could offer you help with that ringing/pressure in the ear, @lioness, but I've had it for so long that the noise has become part of the background of my life! There are times during the day when it goes away completely, but the quietness does not last long. I have been told by ENT docs that it is related to hearing loss in that ear and that a hearing aid would help. Given the expense of hearing aids, I have not given that a try yet.

What have you tried?

@hopeful33250 Ive had this so long ,li ke you said it comes and goes yesterday it was really loud but now its a soft ring I was told same with hearing aids but its still there hasn't gone away so don't waste your money I am going to look into the med called Lipoflavinoid ? I,ve heard it helps.

I've had severe tinnitus for around five years. My sound is similar to a home fire alarm, high pitched and of course, greatly interferes with hearing. It never stops and is present 24 hours a day. I have learned to cope, but I go to sleep with it and it is still there when I wake up - so relentless! I started wearing hearing aids four years ago to help with the hearing loss and tinnitus. These hearing aids could be programmed to supposedly/hopefully help tinnitus issues. Hearing aids were very expensive....and they did not help tinnitus. Tinnitus program: programming varying background noise into the hearing aid that are suppose to train or trick your brain into not hearing the noise, or at least not as loudly. After several years of this, I had it turned off as I really did not need MORE noise in my ears than the tinnitus was already giving me! Anyway, I still wear hearing aids for the hearing loss that continues to increase. I wait for medical science to come up with a sure solution for all us tinnitus suffers!

@cherriann Im at a loss also yours sounds more intense then mine I did have vertigo and high pitched alarm sound once recently.I read where ear exercises would help so I tried it now just have the buzzing now I,ll give them to you unless
you,ve tried them already.

Thank you, yes, I would be very interested in these exercises!

I have found useful information, for me, on several Facebook groups.

I am going to give it a try - thank you!

@cherriann your welcome let me know if it helps

After many, many years of pressure in right ear, headache on right side, constant tinnitus and episodes of dizziness when turning my head quickly. Then graduating to coughing, losing voice, neck pain and pulling sensation to the right side of my face, a neurosurgeon finally measured the length of my styloid process and determined I have Eagle Syndrome. I could not have imagined all of these years the ringing, whooshing and piercing tone in my ear actually had a name. I feel for everyone commenting above because I was referred to mental health specialists several times, have had several tubes in my right ear and have had three firm misdiagnoses and at least two doctors insinuate I was making things up. Well, on to the next step and hopefully pain free days ahead.
