Tinnitus who suffers from it

I do not get it all the time, just every now and again. This probably sounds stupid. But i am sure it is when someone is talking about/thinking about me.

Without fail usually i get a bout of it that comes and goes for a day or so. Which is usually eventually followed by an ex girlfriend getting in contact with me a day or so after. This has happened quite a few times now, so everytime i get a ringing in my ears i await a message lol
 
I've managed it for years without help from the useless doctors at the local surgery.
I try to stay away from the NHS as much as possible especially since covid.

It's probably not treatable, but a doctor could help with management of if. It's well worth the time I'd say.

The only 'treatment' i had from an ENT was to fill out a form asking how i coped with it.

I have managed to reduce the volume and intensity by losing weight and gettig my cholesterol down. But no doctor or ent ever told me about the connection. I saw a study online linking cholesterol to tinnitus and decided to get a test. I think my score was about 6.8 but now down to 5 and the tinnitus has definitely reduced.
 
Ive had one for a few months. Turns it it's fluid building behind the ear drum causing it. I used some steroid nasal spray for a few days and it goes completely. But after a few weeks it reappears :/

You get to learn to live with it. If i dwelt on it i would probably go mad! Nothing really drowns it out these days. Not even loud music. Left ear is worse.
 
I've had it for about 15 years now. What I have noticed recently, is that as my hearing loss gets worse, my tinnitus is less noticeable.
Perhaps that makes sense, but you have to laugh.
