Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / May 2007New sufferer questions
I had sudden onset of high pitched ringing. First it was a pressure, and I could feel some kind of "fluid" in the ears. Audiologist said it was not middle ear. Then it was slight ringing, at night, eg., after listening to music or going to a concert. Now it is almost constant, seems worst on waking up. In one ear only it seems. I've been wearing custom fit earplugs (-15dB, started about when I got the pressure thing happening). Now about two months later I've got ringing. I go to a lot of club shows, but mostly I stay outside or far away from the music. My hobby is audio recording, so I listen at low level once I get home. So, my questions are, will this get worse? Is going to shows (with earplugs, -15dB or -25dB) going to cause more harm? Will a rest help? Also, does anyone out there smoke weed? I noticed this *seems* to make it worse, and I don't know if I'm doing permanent damage. I'm really bummed because, well, going to shows and taping is a big hobby for me (two or three nights a week usually!).

If I knew how thc might disinhibit the coclear nuclei, I could at least theorize. I quit because it was making my T worse. Even 6 months later there is no way I'd take the risk. I have only one brain. If I were you I'd limit myself to clubs with better natural acoustics i.e. less need to blast it. It is mostly perception. Weed can make your perception seem more precise. See a good ear doctor specialist and relax. Nobody knows how permanent it will be. Don't feed it with attention and increases anxiety. Easier said than done sometimes. >I had sudden onset of high pitched ringing. First it was a pressure, > and I could feel some kind of "fluid" in the ears.

If you let nature take its own course, you are then taking a chance. Why not visit Murray Grossan's clinic and get it over with? As someone who once went through the tormenting experience of tinnitus,I can tell you that most doctors don't know how to treat tinnitus. Since we have one here who knows, you might as well go to see him rather than looking for answers to your ill. That said, if you want to continue to loiter around for advices, my suggestion is that you take a tablet of ginko biloba in order to keep your tinnitus fresh. Once a tinnitus becomes old, it gets to be harder to treat. FP Is going to shows (with > earplugs, -15dB or -25dB) going to cause more harm? Will a rest > help?

I got a pointer to some book for $89. Can someone attest to what is there and why I should bother. Is this some kind of cognitive-behavioural therapy? You recommended it, so please speak up. Thanks, Richard It could be simple wax build up on your eardrum. Nobody knows but you should get it checked to eliminate the medical possibilities sooner than later. fyfpoon@gmail.com wrote: > On 5ÔÂ19ÈÕ, ÏÂÎç12ʱ34·Ö, richard <poorlyconditio...@gmail.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > FP What is "Murray Grossan's" clinic?

I recommend you to talk to Murray not because of whatever specific therapy or treatment but because he is one of the few doctors who knows how to treat tinnitus. When I first had tinnitus, I went to see about 15 doctors in Asia and most of them were unable to tell their arses from their elbows. Then I thought perhaps the high tech doctors in scientific North America would have been better but unfortunately they all suffered in my view from the same level of unprofessionalism. Thus instead of wasting your time and resources looking for someone who can treat you, you might as well spend whatver financial resources you have and visit someone who at least knows what he is doing. > Thanks, > Richard- 隐藏被引用文字 - > > - 显示引用的文字 -
