Physiology & Medicine / What causes tinnitus and how can the symptoms of tinnitus be treated?
« on: 18/03/2008 20:50:28 »
Hi all,
New to this forum and would be interested in some help with my affliction.
I have been suffering with tinnitus for as long as I can remember, never truly experiencing silence. I was diagnosed fully when I was 18 years of age with a high degree of tinnitus. Although I have always been able to manage my tinnitus, only realising the issues when completely relaxed, over the last 6 months the whistling in my ears has become much more intense and my hearing in my right ear has deteriorated by some degree. Being 38 years of age I have decided to visit a consultant for a review (pending, but thought it prudent to seek some further advise with people suffering the same problems.
I would appreciate anybody giving me some advise on any treatments including possible hearing aid that can equalise the noise I experience.
I gladly look forward to any response.
Yours kindly
David
