Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2005Loud ringing getting louder as I age
I have noticed that as I grow older my T seems to get louder and louder. It really is not that loud yet but I fear that as I grow old I will lose my hearing completly and just hear the ringing. Is this possible? I realize this may be a dumb question but I need to know. Thanks to the group pvcrr Try to take a tablet of gingko biloba in the morning and see if it helps.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks to the group > pvcrr In my case, I am completely deaf in the affected ear with the tinnitus. So it can happen. But in your case, unless you're undergoing a concurrent sensorneural/conductive hearing loss, the tinnitus itself will not cause loss of hearing. Many times anxiety in this condition may cause increased awareness of your tinnitus so I'd try to relax. If you're having problems sleeping due to your tinnitus,you might want to pay a visit to an ENT. There are some meds out there that can be of some benefit to help you out. Good luck. frank
