Hi kailash40667
It is morning where I live so I hope and pray you are ok. I too suffer from tinnitus. I started experiencing this just over 3 months ago. Suffered a flu and sinus infection and started to hear a high pitched buzzing noise. I had never even heard of tinnitus before. And although we have national healthcare where I live there is such long wait times to see any specialist. Been to medical clinics and family doctor who had referred me to an ENT and there is an 18 month wait to see one.
I do know the suffering you speak of and there are days my balance is off due to fullness in my ear that I have vertigo so bad I need to stay in bed all day.
I am glad the forum moderator reached out to provide you assurances that there are people ready to listen if you just reach out.
I am on another forum for cataracts (not sure why at a young age I am dealing with issues related to age) but I have found the cataract forum to be very supportive and helpful. This one I have not been on much as the only answer is to learn to live with it. Perhaps they are right but right now I am not ready to give up.
I know tinnitus makes one feel alone, trapped, unable to hear silence (and now I have an extra appreciation for that saying silence is golden).
I pray someone comes along into your life that you have support.
You ask why God would make you suffer and give you this if He cared. There are many things wrong in this world and I have often wondered about the question of evil and suffering. True love though can only exist when there is choice. I can’t make someone love me. That is a choice. If God made us robots and we had no choices would that be love. The beauty of having children or a spouse or a family is that they choose to love. Even if that means some choose not to love or worse inflict pain on others. I do know that God does love you and despite whatever afflicts us he does care. One day pain and suffering will disappear but in the meantime there is worth and meaning.
The more I focus on my problems the worse that makes me feel. Finding something or someone worthy to put your time and care into will make my problems seem less.
I will pray for you today. I hope you reach out to someone to talk to. There are those that will care - sometimes you have to search for them but they are there. Suffering alone brings us down dark paths. Please do reach out to someone.
Hi Kailash, life isn't fair, I don't believe in any God, it's just hard luck you get what you get, I have tinnitus in both ears for over 20 years, but tinnitus is really a brain thing not ears, I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and IBS, but there is people worse off, I try to see the cup half full not half empty.
Kailash,
I too suffer from T. Almost 2 years. It's not easy. Some days I panic..but other days I just keep going..I do believe in God and I know He does love us. Free choice in our world has created many problems, sickness and disease..all part of repercussions in life. But know you can overcome T's debilitating clutches. You will find in time ways of dealing..also as far as bells palsy, my sister had that. It took a little time but she is back to normal now. She just kept going..and going..we got more strength than what we think sometimes..what we go thru makes us stronger, it really does..I hope you.soon see that with T there are some bad days but then some better.
TAKE care, and keep you safe and sound...trust me, you do learn to habituate...
Terrie what do you do to cope with tinnitus. I have had it for a few months. Still thinking it has to do with flu and sinus issue I had in January and then I flew wnd of January. Can’t see an ENT for 3 months - just the way it is with a national Medicare system. Reading I have done makes me wonder if I have an ETD problem. Thanks for any suggest you’d care to share.
Please hold on. You've had a tough life, but things really can get better. I speak from experience. Talk to a sympathetic doctor or support group. They are out there and worth looking for. You cannot let tinnitus win and a cure or relief may be just round the corner. Bell's Palsy does improve with time. Lots of us, although we don't personally know you, want you to hang on. Don't let your wretched problems win and cause you to self-harm. .best wishes.

Hi there, I am new too this forum but not Tinnitus. Had it for 12 years. I also had a Bells Palsy around the same time. Docs said nothing could be done for either.
The Tinnitus I have got around by giving it a name. My sound is in both ears and it is a constant hissing. So that one is called Hissing Sid. And if he is getting on my nerves, I tell him to jog on. Any distraction works well.
I have just this last month developed another sound as well and that sounds like a road sweeper moving along the curbs. Now during the night I can deal with Sid, got used to him - but this new boy is annoying me. Don't hear it through the day because of the radio on or out shopping etc but in the silent night I can. So he is getting the name Roger the Road Sweeper. I will do the same to him.
I have today been looking at videos on utube of Chinese head movement to stimulate the ear/brain - have you looked at any? Don't know if they will work but loads of responses seem to say yes.
The Bells Palsy I had for 2 weeks, the drooped eye and mouth went back to normal. Although when I was tired my eyelid would blink more slowly than the other. But did not stop me working or going out. That took about 2 months and then ok. There was once no help for it but now there is Botox.
Don't despair, look into the Botox and the exercises. I totally do not agree with Doctors when they say that nothing can be done - it can.
Thanks to all ,
Anyway thanks to all . M sorry I can’t bare the noise from ear and bell’s palsy . Today night will be my last night and bought insecticide monocrotopous. Tmrw mrng I will finish off my life happily . Bye everyone
Well u studied my posts fully . No mom , dad got other marriage , only one sister to me . For her my new house is there . Let her take that one . So Acc to god I have to go away. M also Happie with that .
Hang on a while longer. See how you feel in two weeks. Talk here in the forum. What you say you intend to do may not have the result you think you want. It could cause a liife-long illness, People on this forum want to help and understand.
Yes you are correct in that and the life long illness. TALK TALK TALK to the forum.
Sue,
My T started the day after I had a catscan. Not sure if that caused it or not. Major stress ovr a health issue, possibly. ENT said I had slight hearing loss so blamed it on tht..When it hit, I honestly thought I'd go mad. It took probably 6 mths to try and just roll with it. I keep a fan on at night to drown the sounds. I try to keep away from stress as much as possible, even stressful movies..and news..I have been diagnosed with ETD. I truly believe this has something to do with the T. I have noticed certain foods also set it off worse, dairy and chocolate. If I'm tired it's worse as well..but most days, I do ok. I try not to think about it and keep noises surrounding me..tv, fan, radio...a few times when I was highly stressed, it got so loud it drowned out voices around me..wow, that was scary..but I breathed deep and relaxed my body and it left leaving behind the usual pulsating g sound of crickets or more like the sound if cicadas..drink plenty of water for ears. Hold nose and blow gently till ears pop. My ent said to do this often throughout the day for etd. That seems to help all of it..hope something helps here..soon yr brain adapts and it does get better..
Thanks Terrie - this is most bizarre. I wish I could get in sooner to ENT but there is 18 month wait. We flew with another couple on vacation last January and one of them has had T since that flight too. I still have fluid in my ears that won’t drain - despite steriod nasal spray. I do have days it is quiet and earlier on thought I was cured but I seem to have good days and bad days where it is very loud. Like you say when it’s very loud hard to hear other people. Still hoping it will eventually go away. I find if I wake up and it’s quiet it’s quiet for the day. If I wake up and it’s loud it stays same pitch all day. Can’t see that stress has anything to do with mine. I just keep trying the Toynbee manoeuvre and blowing into my nose to pop ears doesn’t work well. thanks for the advice. It really is the most annoying thing.
Yes, it truly is and the sad thing is there is nothing we can do but deal with it..I am thankful for the good days..it's still there but doesn't scream out as bad. Yes, I do the toynbee as well. Does your pulsate? Mine does mostly but sometimes it's just straight cicada sound. I hate so bad we all suffer from this junk. I pray for a soon cure..
Sue,
iv also read where
For Tinnitus it's recommended we take 300 mg of Magnesium daily.
Thanks for that will add magnesium to the list. I read Ginkgo biloba can helpntoo so take that and also drink 2 tablespoons of vinegar (with the mother) in a glass of water each day. None of those are harmful so I try them. Also boil water with Epsom salts and put a towel over my head and allow the steam to drift into my ear.
Appears left ear is much worse. Constant buzzing noise when it is loud. On quieter days right ear seems normal but left ear will click occasionally- especially if I yawn.
Yes really hope there is a cure for this some day.
The quiet days give me hope. I sometimes wonder if the flu virus I had is making its way around my ear causing this. There seems to be a pattern of 2 or 3 noisy days followed by quiet day. This week I actually got 2 quiet days in a row.
Wow, that's great! Iv never had a quiet day..have had low sound days bit never quiet..yours could very possibly go one day and not return. Do you journal at all 2 c if there seems to be a pattern of what you eat, take, stress level etc..would be curious to know if something sets it off..Have you ever taken flu shots? Did u have any dental wrk done right b4 T.? I had dental. I prob did not have flu tho. Been yrs since iv had that..Praise the Lord! I just wish I could pin point something..but u til then, I try to eat right, excercise, stress less and clear cut dairy and choc..but I do fail there on most all these from start of list...but hey, what little I do is better than nothing right? Lol
That is a good suggestion to journal. As far as I know it seems to follow a pattern of 2 or 3 ver noisy days followed by a quiet day and then a day of half volume then back to really noisy for 2 or 3 days.
This started after a viral flu followed by sinus congestion and then I had a long flight to Puerto Rico. Funnily enough friends we were travelling with - one of them got tinnitus after our flight as well and he doesn’t have any quiet days. Straight buzzing all the time- like a high tension wire.
can’t help but think the virus is causing this. 18 years ago I had a bad viral sore throat (lasted 6 weeks) and the virus attacked my thyroid. Took doctors and several trips to ER over several months for them to diagnose me with sub acute thyroiditis. No cure. Was on prednisone to deal with pain. Went away after 18 months. I seem prone to get a secondary issue after viruses. Last summer had early cataracts and 2 surgeries which opthamologist said my prednisone use was likely the cause of the early cataracts.
Guess one learns to deal with these things. But with T not giving up that it’s will completely go away. But because I havevwuiet days really hard to get accustomed to the noisy days.
Thanks for listening. Off to boil water and let the steam into my ears . And then apple cider vinegar and keep with the Toynbee exercises. Hoping it helps eventually.
Did you ever go on the nasal sprays? Y doctor has recommended I use those for several months along with decongestant pills. I wonder at long term use of those are.
Yes, my ent had me on the generic if flonase..it helped me tremendously. But I got off after a few months due to weight gain. I try natural off and on which helps. Xlear is what I am using for now. Just strted back on it a few nights ago because of nose stopping up. Man, I tell ya, it's so crazy..my ears are constant. Cicada sounds but I like the description of electric wires as well to describe..seems most of time when I eat high salt or cheese and chocolate, it's worse
Also whn I'm tired, stressed or aggravated..bam...I just roll with it..such crazy head stuff..I do toynbee as well. Seems to help..also I saw online where ya take the side if ears and pull them out while opening and closing yr mouth. Ugly to watch but really helps when iv got the full feeling in my ears..I have always dealt with sinuses but never realized to what extreme till this all hit. I have always wrinkled my nose often to open my nasal which always feel closed. Never thot much about it until I saw how clear I can breath with nasal sprays..I do journal and that's how I came to the conclusion of what makes mine worse. Let me know if ya decide to journal and come to any leads to causes of yoyr T's fluctuation....
