How many here have constant tinnitus?
|
I have reduced hearing in my right ear in 2003. Someone filled liquid nitrogen in a 1½liter bottle and I stood too close to it. Thanks a lot rustur.

Some are said to be ototoxic and can cause or worsen tinnitis. My doctor put me on a med last fall and my tinnitis turned up to 11. I figured out what was doing it and switched to a different med that made it go back to the hum I am used to. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius 
Yes. Caused by:
-Navy ship engine rooms without decent (or any) hearing protection. -Drag racing with open headers. Not fast enough to require a helmet. -Motorcycle, even with a helmet. It is constant. I had a hearing test last year and was recommended to get hearing aids. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get them. I'm 40+ dB lossy in both ears at 4 kHz. That's smack on the tone generator at 4 kHz, too.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Not on any medications and have not taken ototoxic medications in the past at a dose or duration that would be significant. But thanks for the suggestion.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
I'm now 66 (still act 18 though) I have a constant very high pitched whistle in both ears, only really notice it when it's things are quiet. Going slightly deaf, if someone speaks in a different room or if there is background noise like running water I can hear the voice but can't make out the words. Been to a few loud concerts, but only 2 or times a year

Constant tinnitus since my cardiologist tried clonidine on me, which also gave me crazy dreams. I complained about the multiple side effects and it didn't control my blood pressure, so he doubled the dosage. I found another cardiologist, but the tinnitus never went away.

I have tinnitus. I could mostly ignore it in the past, but I had some ear issues in 2020 and the ringing in my left ear has become more pronounced. Still, I don't notice it if there's background noise, and I have fans blowing constantly so the only time it's noticeable is at bedtime. The more troubling issue is that I have chronic itching in my left ear. The doctor gives my hydrocortisone for it, but the itching is deep in the ear canal and so I worry about damaging the eardrum when applying the cream. That, and the last tube they sent me is clearly intended to be used for rectal itching, and I feel weird applying butt creme to my ear.

I get ringing in my ears occasionally too. It never lasts long, and it doesn't seem to be as severe as what you are describing. I am not worried about it right now. Hope you can find some solution for it. (May 18, 2021 at 1:56 pm)Brian37 Wrote: I get ringing in my ears occasionally too.

The solution will eventually be death.
