I have this as anyone who is on or has had Chemo has this as a side effect.
It is always there and when its quiet it does get very annoying.
have you ears checked for wax though as that can be a cause.
there are things on the market but it needs a Doctor first to seewhat the cause is --good luck and hope you slept
À tous mes amis du forum thankyou pour toutes vos pensées agréables et avec son amour derrière moi je lutterai contre mon conflit avec un esprit de postive et le triomphe
One of my former colleagues (he was former RAF Regiment) had this problem and eventually was prescribed a noise reducung machine which exactly matched the frequency of the tinnitus. He wore it for several hours a day and after a few weeks the tinnitus had reduced markedly.
I know nothing else about it but that is wht he told all of us, his tinnitus was put down to too much gunfire too close to his right ear - interestingly apparently it also qualifies you for a disability pension from the MoD as a former serviceman........
Just an idea that you MIGHT be able to find out about
this is all that I can find and it's American BUT it might have the grain of how it works, perhaps it is now available via specialists in the UK;
Sound therapy
Tinnitus is often most noticeable in quiet environments. Therefore, the idea behind sound therapy is to fill the silence with sounds that you find pleasant in order to distract you from the sound of tinnitus.
Some people find that having the radio or television on provides enough background noise to mask the sound of tinnitus. Others prefer to listen to more natural, relaxing sounds, such as the sound of the sea.
A sound generator may be useful if you do not have any hearing loss. It produces a constant, gentle sound (often described as white noise), and can help you to retrain your brain to ignore tinnitus. To do this, the volume should be positioned at just below the level of your tinnitus.
Hi
I have every sympathy with you as my tinitus is often louder than people I am talking with or the tv. As we have discussed before mine started after an accident at work with a firearm discharge and brought on post traumatic stress disorder due to night after night of not sleeping. For a long time I avoided medication but finally gave in (and it changed my life for the better). A specialist prescribed Dosupalin which was originally developed as an anti depressant but was not very good as it caused drowsiness. It is often used now for people suffering head injuries. It was designed to be taken at intervals throughout the day but mine is prescribed as one dose an hour before bed. It doesn't knock you out and if I get up after a short sleep I feel fine unlike sleeping tablets. After a couple of years of good sleep I can now stop taking it for long periods and start again if sleeping is getting bad. The tinitus is still there just as loud but I can now live with it. I am not one for lots of drugs but glad I gave it a go.
Best of luck.
James
Thanks for all the replies. I have had Tinnitus for about 5 years and like you have tried most things. I have a good specialist at Exeter who warned me o0ff any miracle cures from USA as she rightly points out as no-one really yet knows the actual cause, how can you cure it?
Advised me to cut down on caffeine, chocolate and cheese and that certainly helps.
Bit better this morning, now just like the A30, rather than M25!!
I've got Menieres (not Many ears) and noise in the ear is part of the experience.
Certainly if the sound gets too bad, an aid that produces I think White Noise can bring considerable benefits. However, my noise was the precursor to balance problems and I think I prefer the noise out the two.
Music makes it worse or even constant noise like driving with the window open or even the older type of diesel engine. Wife noise can also be a prob.
I have had this problem for years, probably due to firing weapons in the RAF before the days of ear defenders. My doctor went through all of the so called cures, but as someone else said, no knowledge no cure. He actually told me not to listen to it and that works. It is only when I think about it, like now that I hear it.
Good luck
Dave

I have had 6 Chemo treatments since 1993 but have never suffered from Tinnitus. Our Friend had Tinnitus from his job of a motorbike surveilance officer with the Regional Crime Squad and had to wear an earpiece for 8/10 hours a day. Since he retired and the stress levels are not as great his Tinnitus is drastically reduced.
