I've been living with this progressive hearing loss for so many years. Nothing but ringing constantly, which, I could deal with in my younger years with things like white noise, music, or a fan would block it out enough to take away my thoughts about it. I'm 57 now and the ring is getting unbearable. It's always been a distraction but now it's getting to the point of robbing my concentration and quality of life. My hearing is getting so bad that when someone speaks to me I often think I heard one thing, but they said something else. My wife (God bless her heart for putting up with it) has to put up with me listening to the TV loudly, while still asking her, "What did He/She say?"
The ringing is similar to a heart monitor when someone's heart stops beating but at a high pitch. It never stops. 24/7, 365.
Does anyone else deal with this? Does hearing aids help at all? My wife keeps saying to get some because I always mishear her. I've had the same issue at work, so bad that I finally stopped trying to fake what I understood and started saying I didn't hear it or didn't get it.
Yes I have this too and after yrs of trying to figure out my sudden hearing loss I found this awsome place called the House Institute here in Los Angeles who finally after many many yrs of bad ENT visits managed to diagnose me in a matter of minutes . Found out I have a small bone called a stapes that wasnt moving and guess what, there a surgery for that! I did it 3 yrs ago and that ear is completely fixed, with no tinnitus...Now planning on my other ear
Not sure what caused the issue but it was possibly a virus I had 10 yrs ago that screwed up my ears.
