thanks windyshores... had these issues and others quite a few years my last 5 or so years steadily decreasing in quality of life , enjoyment of former life and frustration dealing with medical issues...since diagnosis of narrow angle glaucoma in 2018, had c diff from too many antibiotics for uti and 4 friends died of the few i had. ears? tinnitus, hyperacusis, eustachian tube disfunction and last yeas or so "musical ear syndrome" - have been hearing Amazing Grace for 4 hours right side of head..someone here said he just listens and enjoys but how can one enjoy repetitive first few bars of various songs and melodies for up to five hours and sometimes together with the rumbling tinnitus etc..not me for sure. history of medical issues, as many many other people on this site cancer ; p.n, laser each eye re vitreious; fecal incontinence on top of ibs-d...since c.diff also in 2018 and for last year burning hot face and seen 2 specialists derma saying not his field and neurologist saying not his; then mid June afteer Trimethorprim 24/7 dark or light night or day have tiny wormy things in vision moving the whole time esp. against plan background.... optometrsit saying stress or migraines, but my migraines are since childhool and are migraine with aura - not it - now waiting a month - like many others I realize, to see nurse practitioner who is not an optometrist! and probably left out a few things: however, i do so realize it could be worse, only have to think of husband's issues we both have had cancer and he triple bypass heart surgery... so its not really the tinnitus itself, its the tinnitus on top of everything else, on top on other stuff, on top of ..... the list - a sprinkling of depressin and anxiety and that's my life now... constant battle and lack of medical specialists where i live, one place i phoned said 6 to 7 year wait if glaucoma.... can you believe it??? odd after making suggestions about listening to you tube etc i turned out light at 10 and didnt get to sleep til 4.00am and onlyh til 5.30am..... it happens!!! right now was outside ten minutes and right side of face off but no dr or nurse seems interested in spending the time to find out what it is so am doing my own research ... no wonder I dive into the chocolate box a lot lately!!! best wishes to all, illnesses big or small, no matter the weather - hope you feel better !
