Did Antivirals Help Your Tinnitus

When my Meniere's is at a very low ebb, my tinnitus decreases. Currently my ear is somewhat full, hearing really bad and tinnitus pretty bad. I don't complain about the tinnitus as much as the loss of hearing.

 

Maybe we can work some kind of swap out

 

The worst thing is hearing loss, the less you hear the real sound, the more you will hear the tinnitus. Hearing well helps mask tinnitus.

On the question, I have done several things, among them antivirals, and the tinnitus has gone down although it is always there, I just ignore it 80-90% of the time. It is a matter of mental exercise, as someone who has studied and will continue studying all his life for pleasure, I have experience in concentrating on something and ignoring everything around me, with tinnitus it is the same, you have to learn to concentrate on other things and Ignore It. Over time you will only notice it when the tinnitus rises a lot or when you go to bed.

Something that I have noticed that has improved a lot about my tinnitus is that now it always has the same tone and almost always the same volume. 6-12 months ago I had a tinnitus with a constant tone that changed in volume every day, but when I was older I had other different tinnitus that rang out at times alongside the other tinnitus.

I do not know if you understand me, I give an example: I had a flautist in my ear and at times another musician would come with a harmonica. This was really annoying when it came to ignoring it, the human being is capable of ignoring things that are monotonous or constant, but changes always catch our attention.

 

Tinnitus ebbs and flows. I found AVs helped some initially, but not do much anymore. I hate lying down and it never being quiet, but have learned to I’ve with it. It’s hard.

 

JOH regimen helps me a lot with the tinnitus, RN the tone is very low, still there but is not crazy like years before

 

Because I choose to be….just can’t give up. There is too much worth fighting for to let this dictate what my life should be. It’s hard, but kind over mind over matter, my friend, stay strong!

 

You may have to find another job or talk to your current employer about accommodations. The pandemic has actually helped in allowing me to work from home and use headphones on conference calls and meetings. There is always an answer…

 

I’ve had both Pfizer vax and noticed nothing as a result. If there’s one thing certain about this condition it’s that it is different for everyone. If you can, try to stop focusing on that and focus on the things just seem to bring relief if any. I know it’s hard.

 

I've found that a white noise machine helps with sleeping. I've a Dohm Classic. About US$50 on Amazon.
