Excellent Article!

If I could write like this I would be well chuffed

The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.

I have the high pitched jet engine whistle sound. I was in a bad accident and had a traumatic brain injury. I guess at this point there is no cure for us who suffer from this terrible thing. My ENT truely has no answers and this is driving me mad… I’m 40 now and if I have to deal with this for the rest of my life I don’t know how I can make it trough.. God Bless us all! I feel for everyone…

What gives me hope that there is a way to fix this is the fact that my T comes and goes. I have days where it’s a very loud whine and then for no reason it will get so quite that I think it’s gone. Then a day latter it’s back at full volume. I never know when it’s going to change it just does. If I can figure out what triggers the time it goes quite I can beat it. If it goes away at times then it must not be permament. I hope to figure it out one day.

I have had this “condition” for about 20 years now . Mine is somewhere between a very high pitched drill sound and a dog whistle . It seems to be getting worse as i get older . My ent said it was most likely from rock concerts . I did security work at concerts when i was younger and back then , no one ever suggested wearing hearing protection . I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like in another 20 years .

Hi,

RNID are currently raising awareness of our new community-based site where people can discuss tinnitus and find out more information, chat to other people who have tinnitus using our online community.

www.tuneouttinnitus.org.uk

We have contacted you because we feel that your blog attracts an audience that would respond well to this issue and therefore your support for the campaign would be key to making it a success.

RNID have produced two videos that we hope will be passed around the online community to boost online exposure to tinnitus, potentially reaching those who may have tinnitus but are not very well informed.
Do you have noises in your ears or in your head? Maybe the sound is a ringing, or perhaps a whistling, a hissing or a roaring? The medical word for this is tinnitus. It comes from the Latin word ‘tinnire’, which means ‘to ring’.
You might only notice these sounds when it is very quiet, such as at night. Or they might be so loud that they intrude on your everyday life. Either way, tinnitus can be distressing and worrying – but you’re not alone.
An estimated seven million people in the UK have experienced tinnitus at one time or another. Three million have visited their GP about it, and there are many more who have tinnitus but do not know what it is or how to manage it. For at least half a million, the effect on their lives is severe.
If you are interested in receiving this content as an exclusive, to review on your blog, along with any supporting images and information then please get in touch by responding to this email.

It would be great to talk further about this and I look forward to working with you soon.

Many thanks,
Emily
