SHARING SOME TINNITUS STORIES FROM OUR READERS..
John B. El Paso, Tx
I am 100% sure that my tinnitus is from being exposed from loud noises. The noises that I am currently hearing are hissing sounds at night and during the day my ears sometimes have a loud popping sound. I have no idea what to do.
Kay S. Kalamazoo, Mi
I find that the tinnitus is worse in the mornings after I wake up. I have high blood pressure and have been hearing clicking sounds for 6 months. Recently some buzzing sounds have started.
Barry M. Fresno, Ca
I always have an excessive wax build up in the ear that does not have tinnitus. I only have tinnitus in my left ear. I suffered from a middle ear infection in my right ear in March 2004. The first time I noticed tinnitus was while I was coming down in a n elevator in August 2004.
Joe T. New Haven, Ct
I drive trucks for a living and always thought that the noise of my truck was the cause of my tinnitus. I hear a steady high pitch ringing that never stops. Some days are better than others.
Blaise P. Santa Monica. Ca
I began suffering from tinnitus after playing in a band as a teenager. I learned to "tune out" of the ear ringing and managed to live with it. About 12 years later I attended a rock concert and was close to the stage. The ear ringing has now become almost unbearable.
Kevin G. Portland, Or
I started feeling the effects of tinnitus about 6 months ago. My doctor told me that my right ear drum has a thin white layer of something covering it. There is a lot of wax build up in both ears, so I have to constantly keep them clean. I cannot hear as well as I used to.
Nancy G. Chilliwack, BC
My tinnitus was caused by exposure to loud noises for over 5 years. I never used to wear any protection. I have been hearing a loud ringing noise for the longest time.
Arthur S. Chicago, Ill
At that time the tinnitus didn't bother me much because a little background noise helped me forget about the tinnitus noises. In the last ten years, or so, the tinnitus noise has gotten louder so that now the ear ringing dominates all the things I hear.
No amount of background makes the tinnitus go away. I need help in the form of any tinnitus treatments, and I need it real quick because nothing I have tried has actually helped at all!
Su Jong L. Pensacola, Fl
Since 1996 I have had continuous ringing in ears. Many people not sure what is problem but doctor says it is tinnitus. The ringing in my ear so loud that sometimes I want to die. Nobody can help me with the right medicine. My doctor has not given me direct answer and he says maybe I am loosing my hearing.
Norman F. Phoenix, Az
I moved from West Virginia to Arizona a year ago. I have noticed a high pitched hissing sound and I don't know what to do.
Jane K-L. Bellingham Wa
My tinnitus is a high pitched buzzing noises in the ears. Sometimes the noises are low bussing ones but the tinnitus is mostly a high pitched sound that started a very long time ago.
Hebert O. Houston Tx
I dont know what causes my tinnitus but one thing is a fact that my ears become clogged during a bad cold.
Masako T. Calgary Ab
About 12 years a go I had a major surgery and it left me with slight spells of tinnitus. I learned to live with the noises. About 8 months ago just suddenly, my ears started to itch really badly. I did have a very severe episode of dizziness which made me tell someone what was happening to me incase I passed out.
