Tinnitus

I have had tinnitus for many years but have found the hissing much worse through all the very hot days.
I usually have music or the radio on

We like you Kitty have Alexas so will try the Sounds of Nature, thanks.

I was woken in the night with the tinnitus but I am on the quieter mode now this morning.

I’m meeting friends for lunch and will hardly notice it then, with a bit of luck.

DH has dreadful tinnitus - much worse at night. He listens to Sleep Sounds of Nature on Alexa and asks 'her' to play continuous loop. It really helps him.

I've had Tinnitus for every minute of the day, for 20 years. I'm used to it, but it's been worse lately - along with the permanent hissing, there's now what sounds like a bell or a phone ringing. I put headphones on and listen to rock music quite loudly.

I have a continuous hissing noise in both ears. Some days it's very loud and intrusive and some days I barely notice it. When it's very loud I ask Alexa to play classical music playlists which does help me not notice the hissing. Funnily enough it doesn't bother me at bedtime, and I can fall asleep even if it's loud.
I once did a tinnitus frequency test and discovered my frequency is around 4000hz. I've never followed it up though.

I think we did a topic on this last year.
Do you have a tinnitus clinic at your health centre?
I was given an hearing aid type device that emits white noise.
I have to say the plastic tube irritates my ear though so can’t wear it for long.

I try not to think about until someone mentions it.

I have radio 4 on for most of the day and go to sleep with it on a timer at night.
The radio isn’t on now and I am conscious of the continuous whooshing and whistling going on in my left, moderately severe deaf ear.
