I'm keen to learn about people living with #tinnitus

I have 4 types (in both ears):
- low hum
- high pitched squeal
- pulsatile
all the time, and also musical when I'm tired.

(People ask me why I'm angry all the time....sigh)

If you have tinnitus, what is it like?

Boosts appreciated!

Pulsatile
16.9%
Musical
4.6%

@kaffando I've had it for about 12 years. It really upset my mental equilibrium to begin with but now my brain has adjusted and I don't really notice it. The associated deafness has been more of a problem.

Yep, that's the frustrating thing about it - that fact you have a hearing loss but can hear this crap all the time!! So unfair!

Did yours start because of the hearing loss?

@kaffando No, other way round. There was talk of Mennière's but that wasn't convincing. Mystery.

Oh, that is odd. It's something that doesn't seem to have much in the way of research and very few, if any answers. So frustrating.

@kaffando And surprisingly common.
