Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?
It there any solution for constant tinnitis?
I have high pitched tones constantly though I have learned to ignore it mostly.
It can become louder at times, even loud enough to make me wince!
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.
How can you register for this symposium?
It’s gotten so bad for me have had for over 15 years. TERRIBLE when I wake up, like it’s the only thing my brain has listened to all night and it takes a while for it to tone down. It’s really a kind of torture, such loud screeching, high pitched sounds. Loud noises really affect now too, painful and dulls down my hearing.
Hard when family can’t understand what I’m going through and get upset with me because of all the noise in my ears/head.
Oh, I know what you mean. When I ask my husband what he just said, he gets upset with me for not listening or not paying attention. It's hard to hear things clearly when you're listening over tinnitus!
I also have tinnitus. Tried most everything except Mullein drops. Sure will give them a try. The most popular word in our house is "what."
If you are a lifelong learner who wants to know more about tinnitus and research on it, register for the Research Symposium presented by HLAA this coming Thursday. http://www.experiencehlaa.org This is a golden opportunity to learn from well known researchers. You must register in advance.
This is part of what would have been the 2020 national convention of the Hearing Loss Association of America, Inc. that was cancelled due to COVID19. Many of the presenters scheduled for the cancelled convention have offered to present virtually. There is no charge to attend the virtual event, but you do have to register. FYI, HLAA doesn't endorse products, services or providers. The HLAA mission is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss through education, information sharing, peer support and advocacy.
Nearly everyone who has hearing loss has experienced tinnitus to some degree. It can be a sign of hearing loss that has not been diagnosed. And, in some cases there is no hearing loss present. Take this opportunity to learn more. Sign up at http://www.experiencehlaa.org or check it out on the HLAA website: http://www.hearingloss.org
@mrbill IT is called Mullein Leaf and I like it has sure quieted my Tinnitus down. Let me know what you think
My ear doctor told me to put a few drops of warm Hydrogen Peroxide in ear and let it in there for awhile. He gave me a couple of those plastic pipettes with bulb on one end that I load some peroxide in, then put in glass of warm water. After a minute or so I put a couple of drops in my ear and just lay there with head down for a few minutes. May not help Tinnitus, but loosens the wax.
@mrbill Yes it does . I clean out my ears with the H.Peroxide and water . It never helped my tinnitus . IF you find something else that helps let me know . I drink a cup of the Mullein tea everyday. Yes they have tea besides the drops . Drops aren't as expensive .
I’m the same way Aspirin makes it even worse, I have to take 325mg every day of my life and it gets so loud I can’t even think strait sometimes.. it’s miserable
There is help. For years, my husband went to every type of doctor known....with no results. Finally, he contacted the University of Maryland after hearing about the tinnitus program they had. They saved his sanity...Now 20 years later, he still hears the noise but it is under control and does not control his life.
