seen Doctor a few years go did give me some tablets but did no good

Finger waggles no good , hold nose and blow no good .

It's just a constant high pitched whistle which I find I simply ignore.

Ann ,does it stay the same or does it get louder?

Finger in your ear doesn't work. i have had it for over 20 years now. I guess you do learn not to 'listen' to it.

Jenxx Yep thats it .The pitch can change though .I find I always have a finger in my ear to try and waggle it away!!!!!!!!!.It doesn't work.

Jenxx I don't think there is a cure or at least not a cureall, I think it's learning coping strategies.
Because I'm under the weather at the moment I can hear mine really badly I'm lucky I've learnt to ignore it but for some people they can't.

I think if you haven't already been to your Doctor that would be a good idea..xx

I have it just one ear,and I find if I sleep on the ear that doesn't buzz it's bad ,but if I have the bad ear on the pillow it is better.Trouble is I can't stay sleeping on one side all night lol.

Helen when you find a cure let me know please

I have had it for years and it drives me mad
mine is like a high pitched whine if you know what I mean lol

It's called "white noise" you have something in your room that makes a constant low noise, for some people a fan will do it, you may have to experiment to see which works best for you...
It's a king sized pain in the butt when it's quiet and all you can hear is the singing/buzzing/hissing in your head..

How do you cope with night time when everything is quiet and you just hear this buzz or humm in your ear.I wake up and think I hear the pump still running in the airing cupboard or the tumble drier is still going.I know they aren't but still have to get up and check.Is it just a matter of getting used to it .
At least now I know why I am always saying "Pardon" in a group of people all talking.I just learned that tinnitus makes it more difficult to listen to one persons conversation when others are talking.
