Well new year and new problems, although hopefully on track to get it eased.
Been to see an ENT Specialist (Ear, nose and throat) Â at the Royal Bolton Hospital. As i’ve had ringing in my ears since i hit my head back in 2013. Didn’t go well.
Having to have an MRI scan, as Doc things the bump to the head, might have shaken things up and the ear canals may have moved or been damaged, hoping not, but having the scan to rule it out.
They also did a hearing test and found i have moderate hearing loss in the left ear and severe hearing loss in the right ear. Normal hearing range is 0-20 decibels, I scored 35 in my left and 60 in the right ear. So will need a Hearing aid on my right side, which will be fitted in the coming weeks. Am not allowed to have a silent room, gotta have a radio/music/tv on in each room i go into, to help ease the Tinnitus and gotta have a special sound box to help with me falling to sleep.
How are things now? Have you found having the tv/ radio on a help? Am also interested to learn if the sound box helps with sleeping. Thinking of you lots xxx
Sound box does help with sleeping (esp as The sound I use is heavy rain, so doesn’t impact on anxiety). Take the edge off of the tinnitus, but as audiologist says it will never cure it. The TV and radio also do help. Small victories
