Also have had tinnitus for over 30 years. When first diagnosed the doc said no cure and either get use to it or wind up on psych ward. Rather blunt but I guess it’s true. About 10 years after diagnosis I developed Menieres and have lost hearing from the attacks. Fortunately the attacks are not often but I’m down and out for about 24 hours when they occur. It’s funny because my hearing has been affected yet I can’t stand anything too loud as it just ramps up my tinnitus. I also try and keep the salt limited as I do have high blood pressure and am on medication. Always interested in anything that’s conservative that has helped others with tinnitus and Menieres.

... i have moderate hearing loss, no hearing aids, as also have, if spelled correctly, "hytperacusis" so cannot hear all my spouse says when standing ten feet away but can hear him downstairs taking temperature and the tiny beep! Also have "musical ear" is not psychological but again something with brain/ear and seems 2 types: one you hear music or singing or whatever sounds like someone has radio on in background but doesn't; 2nd type apparently when a noise, like our heating furnace fan, turns on, it provokes the music.... and its as if the music is in beat with the churning of the furnace, or snow blower or such - its soooo complicated. Also have pressure and pain in ears but ent said no tubes for you! Maybe could cope better if I didn't have other illnesses, and as I type this left ear has tinnitus and right ear some repetitive music.... not painful but unsettling! Also sometimes here sort of chanting or fast speaking.... I thought was a mental health thing but it isn't... it's not like when a favourite song is on your mind - they call it music worm or something - but actually feel you can hear it. Not sure if I have Menieres as have face pain on and off and wobbly but not dizzy and no doctor, only a nurse practitioner and no ent.. so on my own to fiture out and cope with: next week appointment with super specialist first one, but she already told me cannot cure but learn to live with it - I hope! Sympathize with you! J.
