And I think I have tinnitus! I have had tinnitus for 12 years. It's horrible. I only have it in my left ear but I have been told it will eventually over time hit my right ear. No idea what caused it. I have been to see specialists for years and no cure. I have a hearing aid to help, but it never goes away. I thought it was because if years of playing my Bagpipes, but not the case. If I were you mate I would get that looked at, it's no joke. I would not wish tinnitus on anyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not wish tinnitus on anyone... 53 in 6weeks, wearing prescription bi focal for the last 6 months, even during driving. Tinnitus in both ears and quite suicidal at times due to it. Still, I passed my offshore medical today and am looking to get back to work ASAP after a serious tendon tear. Only done 2 days work in 7 months forgot to add, BMI is 38.1 so a wee fat bassa to boot Edited February 27, 2018 by The White Ceelo None Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only done 2 days work in 7 months forgot to add, BMI is 38.1 so a wee fat bassa to Sorry to hear that mate. I remember when I was told it was permanent I went into mild depression. Trying to cope with loud ringing in my ear, knowing there was no cure was hard. I get the suicide bit as tinnitus can drive folk there. I can cope with it now but I have to be careful with my diet as sugar and caffeine are the worst stimulants for tinnitus. Sometimes I just wish it would stop even for one minute to give me the peace of what it was like when I did not have it. Anyway mate, hope for the best for you.

dan cake Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Had my eyes lazered about 10 years ago, now have to wear glasses for reading and work. Sitting in front of a computer for 25 years has taken it toll. Would definitely recommend surgery if you're long sighted, life changing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
