Hi all,

About 5 months ago I developed Tinnitus after going on a holiday to
Ibiza. Basically I spent 4 nights going to very load clubs, and when I
left at the end of each night my ears we always ringing. For most of
the holiday the ringing has gone after a good nights sleep. After the
last night it didn't!

Classic noise-induced tinnitus I guess

The main reason I'm putting a message in this group is to try and get
some info. I'm still waiting for an appointment with an ENT (my first
one was cancelled) but I have a feeling I know what they're going to
say, "You have tinnitus from loud music, deal with it"

I have tried to make some changes to my life like turning the volume
down on the TV, stereo, MP3 player and I don't go to clubs or
gigs/concerts any more, and when I go to bars I usually wear R20 ear
plus (although I don't always)

I've noticed that the ringing does get slightly worse when I'm in a
noisy environment, and not necessarily load, such as in the car and the
stereo isn't on, but then gets quieter again and returns to "normal"
levels

basically gauge that there is no cure and I have all the usual
problems. The things I worry about constantly are:
1. Is it going to get worse?
2. Am I going to go deaf?
3. When do I need to wear ear plus. Just in bars or also when driving
the car?

Any info/help/guidance which anyone can give me would be much
appreciated

Thank you

Keza
