This has gotten increasingly worse over the years to the point that I had to quit golf. Now, at age 59, the hearing loss occurs when I simply bend over to pull weeds or to pick up the newspaper off the porch. It is often accompanied by Tinnitus (ringing and pulsating in my ear) It used to last anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days, but now it’s pretty much all the time. It’s almost like a have something pressing against my auditory nerves which acts up when I bend or twist. Any idea what could cause this and what treatment options are available? Thanks.
Over the years, it has gotten so bad that I have had to quit golf. Now, at age 59, simply bending over to pull weeds or picking up the newspaper off the porch will trigger hearing loss and severe tinnitus. These spells used to last from 2 hours to 2 days, but now are pretty much all of the time. I’m not taking any ototoxic medications and my blood pressure is 120 over 80. Any ideas?

I have had it for 3 weeks now, it started when my right ear felt stuffed up so I put a cotton bud in it to clear any wax, next thing I know I get this ringing in my ears and i’ve had it ever since. I went to the docs and had my ears syringed but it still hasn’t helped.
I know all about the masking devices, music, all that stuff but I want to know about any possible cures, only one i’ve come across is neramexane but that is still in trial. I can’t accept that this is incurable, if man can build a rocket to go to the moon then surely there’s a fix for this.

My older brother is in the U.S. army and he just finished up four tours in afghanistan, and somalia. He is happy to be back home but he has been suffering from a loud buzzing in his ears. He told me it sounds almost like a jackhammer at times. We have spoke to the doctor and he says it may be Tinnitus and there is no cure. So I was hoping someone would give us advice maybe there is some natural treatment? some medication? or some technique that will reduce the pain for him. He wants to start working as an engineer and get married soon but this is becoming a major roadblock in his life! Please help!!!

I’m sorry in advance for the length. I have a LOT to get off my chest.

I’m 21 and have really severe depression and anxiety. I don’t take medication nor am I getting any other type of treatment because I can’t afford it. I’m basically the most stressed out person I’ve ever known, and I don’t really talk to anyone other than my boyfriend and my family(though I’m starting to alienate them, too). I’m unemployed and I’ve never had a job, and I dropped out of highschool and got my GED due to being sick all the time and horribly depressed. It’s only been getting worse from then on.

In the last year or so I’ve been developing some terrible chronic problems that really scare me. I would go to the doctor to figure out what’s happening, but at the moment I don’t have health care. They all happen regularly every day.

I developed tinnitus in my right ear, and it sounds and feels like my heart beating and blood rushing through that area. This happens a lot at night and when I wake up. I also feel like my heart is shaking my body violently in time with when it beats, and I can feel it beating easily. It always feels too fast or too labored and I think I’m having a heart attack. I start to feel weak and cold.

I forget to breathe, and sometimes breathing is really hard for me. I feel like I’m thinking so intensely about awful things all the time that I simply… forget.

For the last few months I’ve been in agony every night from pain coming from the middle of my stomach. It only ever happens late at night, but it happens without fail now. It sort of feels like severe heart burn, but farther down, about where the middle of my ribcage ends.

I’ve also been forgetting simple, everyday words – "chair", "paper", "frying-pan", etc., simply don’t come to me sometimes, at random. This has been happening my entire life but has been getting markedly worse lately.

I have more problems but this is long enough as it is.

I’ve been crying and feel suicidal every day now. Every day I feel like I’m going to die or that I’ve finally gone completely insane. I’m completely hopeless and spend my entire day doing absolutely nothing, just watching tv or checking things on the internet.

I want more than anything to have a job, and friends, and a real life, but I don’t believe in myself at all. I hate everything about myself, especially the way I look. No matter what anybody tells me I think I’m fat and disgusting and don’t deserve love or friendship. I love the outdoors but I never go outside because of the way I think I look.

What can I do? I really need help and nowhere to go for it. I can’t see myself living through all of this for much longer. My life is a complete mess. I just want to feel normal and happy for once. Even "slightly stressed" would be a giant step forward. Are there any anti-stress, anti-anxiety techniques that I could use? Any general advice?

5 months ago for some reason I put a little toy gun to my head it was already pretty loud but I had it directly on my ear and the noise made my ears ring and they’ve been ringing ever sense it’s called tinnitus I know that and I’m going to an ear specialist very soon but I need some remedy or way to make the ringing stop now I can’t sleep at night and the ringing is driving me Insane please help

I have been hearing a whistling sound for the past week and I think it could be tinnitus.

it’s worse at night when there’s no noise. can tinnitus be cured? I was wondering if someone (e.g. with experience in tinnitus) could please offer any tips on natural remedies to cure this.

thank you and 10 points for the best answer

My problem is present for the past 3 months and have not got any relief.
My first problem is that of dizziness and imbalance. I feel imbalance while walking though I have not had a fall.
I had a ear congestion due to sinus 2 months back and was treated for that. The ENT said that the imbalance was because of the congestion. The congestion was cleared and ears were ok. But I continued to have imbalance and sometimes felt dizzy.
One doctor then treated me for depression and gave me some herbal treatment and massages. The imbalance still continued.
In the mean time I used to feel like my nerves twitched (sometimes) and weakness and had mild tinnitus.
Then a neuro had given me clonazepam and Stemetil for 21 days & I improved wonderfully. But, when I left the medications, symptoms
seem to have come back (back to square 1?).
I have done CT and MRI of brain & spine & everything is normal. I have done all blood tests and Liver and kidney funtion test & everything is normal
Pl advise.

I think i have tinnitus..anyone else have it? i have had it for a while like a year but didnt bother me cause it would happen every so often …but for a few days its been constant and i have gone insane..usually i just had change the position of my head to make it stop but nothing is working anymore..and its not even ringing its like pulsating which is even more annoying…anyone else gone/going through this?
did you get treatment? what kind? did it work?
HELP PLEASE IM GOING CRAZY!
