Initially got sinus infection from AIR CONDITIONING in the ceiling, dirty particles were breathed in whilst sitting at work.
Frustrated year long wait at hospital. I have been seen by ENT DR & otolaryngologist. Had MRI SCAN & there is leaking fluid from ear into BRAIN. Referral to neurologist another waiting list.
Told bilateral tinnitus non pulsatile right ear worse than left. Asymmetry on hearing test with bilateral LOSS IN HIGH FREQUENCIES. Prominent lateral and 3rd ventricles. HYDROCEPHALUS.
Put on list for Hearing aids and sound therapy. Told NO CURE for sizzling, hissing, beeping tinnitus. No hope😢

I’m really sorry to hear about everything you’ve been through-it sounds incredibly challenging and frustrating. Dealing with multiple health issues and long waits for treatment must be exhausting. While it's tough to hear that there's no cure, it's good that you're on the list for hearing aids and sound therapy; they can often provide relief and help with managing tinnitus. Please try to hold on to hope and keep seeking support. You’re not alone in this, reach out anytime. My TH-cam is a supportive place 😊

Interesting I'd love another q&a !

[@LetsTalkTinnitus]

Ooo of course, I love doing them! Drop your questions here and I’ll make sure to do them in the next one☺️

@@LetsTalkTinnitus I have several, how do you deal with tinnitus when you have a cold? How big does your hearing loss have to be? I've got tinnitus but still hear better then most of my friends who don't have tinnitus.
Is it normal that my tinnitus seems to be linked more to my mood then loud noise?

[@roodjager2]

Oh and do you consider the cinema/theater safe without hearing protection?

[@EmmaLouiseShepherd93]

@@roodjager2I’ve really noticed a HUGE jump in volume in cinemas! The last two films I saw I wore earplugs because some of the scenes were actually hurting my ears!

[@roodjager2]

@@EmmaLouiseShepherd93 thank you for sharing your experience! Although it also might be a film by film case. Or even cinema

How loud is your T?

[@traciebarthel3319]

My oticon intent 1 hearing aides are supposed to help me w this

[@christobe74]

A question for you, Caris. Do you still hear your tinnitus whilst wearing the hearing aids?

[@LetsTalkTinnitus]

Because I am habituated, I hardly listen to my tinnitus. However, with hearing aids, I'd say the perception is lessened even when I do tune into it because of the amplified external noise. Thanks for the question!

[@christobe74]

@@LetsTalkTinnitus Thanks for your reply, Caris. Unfortunately, I have an inner ear injury, so the tinnitus is always loud (with or without amplification), especially upon wakening. I no longer react to the noise, but still perceive it noticeably, five years after the accident.
I thought my hearing was okay until a hearing test proved otherwise!

[@EmmaLouiseShepherd93]

I found this so interesting and it’s really made me realise how much of a difference having a great audiologist much make! My last hearing test really triggered me because the audiologist kept going ‘oh bless you, oh poor you’ and then by the time I was left in the booth I was so stressed and anxious 🫣

[@LetsTalkTinnitus]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and I'm really glad you found this video interesting!
It's amazing how much of a difference a great audiologist can make, right? I'm so sorry to hear about your last experience-that sounds super stressful and patronising. You deserve to feel comfortable and supported during your hearing tests!!
Thanks for sharing your story with us, take care! 💖
