It's a two tone beep that seems to come and go, and this is what kills me. Like trying to sleep at night, waking up in the middle of the night, early hours of the morning. Can't even look at my mum in the eye since I feel like I've let her down for some reason.Ībout my T- it's only on my left ear, and when it's quiet. Really hoping I can get some support now. Will probably be referred back to my GP who will send me to an ENT but at this point, I am really not too hopeful and it feels like throwing money away. Is that how we're expected to manage a life-long condition like this? A bit disheartening since they didn't tell me anything that I didn't know. They recommended using a white noise app when I go to bed or having a fan on. Was a bit let down where the only advice was 'get used to it and try not to think about it'.

That's a super high number but it looks like nothing is being done. They said that up 20% of people suffer from T at some point in their lives. In the cold light of day, literally felt like crying. I actually heard it for the first time while I was not in my room while I had the audiologist's ear plugs in. Hearing was within normal limits (26yo guy here), no infections, no wax buildup, no visible damage to ear drum. Googled what could cause this and then bam, fell into the tinnitus whole.Īlready saw a general practitioner who referred me to an audiologist for a comprehensive hearing test, which I did today. When I woke up last Sunday with a sore throat and a clogged nose, I noticed that two tone beep, one high and one lower hitting me as I lay in bed. I first heard this sound a few weeks back but it was so out of the blue and gone right away that I didn't even think it was anything more than sleeping on my ear wrong. Got the flu on a Friday and by Sunday, woke up to this two tone beep (think dialtone) in my left ear. Bit of a story- the past week has been absolute hell.
