What have you tried?I've had shocking tinnitus for years. Seems to be getting worse lately. Nothing seems to fix it

Well that's not really a landrover is it? more of a hairdresser's carMy '03 Discovery eventually became expensive to MOT
I remember when we were tasked with trialling all sorts of 4WD vehicles back in the nineties - before going ahead and ordering a load of LWB landrovers, one for each coast station. I think I just put in my report it was like sitting in a Reliant Robin, just less practicalthe padded seats took up much of the interior space.

once you've got it, that's it for the rest of your life, hearing aids can help dampen it a bit, but not that muchWhat have you tried?
There are coping mechanisms that do work if you really apply yourself and work hard at them.once you've got it, that's it for the rest of your life, hearing aids can help dampen it a bit, but not that much
There is no cure for it I believe ,best to have other noise in background so hour not focusing on your sound in the ear ,I suffer in both ears for years mildly I would say ,so not as distracting as some sufferersI've had shocking tinnitus for years.

Yes. I tend to have a fan blowing while trying to sleep. I read about some kind of tapping technique behind your skull but it didn't do anythingThere is no cure for it I believe ,best to have other noise in background so hour not focusing on your sound in the ear ,I suffer in both ears for years mildly I would say ,so not as distracting as some sufferers

just make sure when you get a replacement you programme it into the app - otherwise it’s a game of hide and seek, and in long grass that’s no fun! I found mine quite a few yards from where I thought I’d flipped it, but fortunately it shone in a rare glimpse of sunshine. I then programmed it….!Handy aside is the NHS app (for those with a phone) has a "find my aid" feature. Handy when I flicked my aid halfway across the apiary into long grass. Found it in 5 mins.
I had an appointment for a hearing test next week at Specsavers - with the expectation of buying an aid. However I happened to mention it to a GP while I was volunteering in the *** clinic in the local health centre. He advised me to try the NHS as their aids are just as good as private ones. He made the referral and I have received an appointment for two weeks time!That’s interesting.
I never thought of approaching my GP.

Private audiologists are after all aid salesmen.I had a test at specsavers, which showed a very odd audiogram. The technician could not explain it, but said aids would help. Went to Gp to see if they could explain it. Referred to NHS audiology. Their test was much more thorough. Said that the odd pattern was not significant and I did not need aids
They are just as good and are adjustable through an app on your phone.

I have the same, constant whistle and clock ticking at 20 beats a second. Hearing aids help during day. Comes from ten years of speakers in my motorcycle helmet. Don't realise how loud they are until you stop!I've had shocking tinnitus for years. Seems to be getting worse lately. Nothing seems to fix it

SWMBO is always accusing me of 'selective hearing' or just ignoring her, but then, after hours in the 'bunker' at Glangwili hospital they discovered that my ears cannot actually pick up the band of frequencies contained in the female voice. They actually handed me a signed piece of paper to that effect.the didn't hear you excuse is good at times
