Tinnitus

[Guest guest]

Having lived with Tinnitus almost all of my life and normal hearing. Did have

several ear infections as a child and the normal sounds and radio over the

years would mask the tinnitus. Then suddenly nine days after my third child was

born, woke up and thing sounded far away and hallow like in a cave and suddenly

in three hours I became totally deaf! 39 years later I got the N22 Cochlear

Implant and the tinnitus was more quiet on the implanted side.

Have had this N22 now for 18 years and looking forward to trying out the

upgrade for our N22 Freedom. That will take time as am in the process of

Cataract Surgery.

I am just used to those head noises and they seem to go up and down with the

weather barometer.

Many or most people with hearing loss have tinnitis, but not all.? I find that

doctors are not sure what causes it.? I thought mine was part of my nerve

deafness, but doctors said not.? When I got my CI, the CI seems to mask out the

tinnitis on my right side, but the tinnitis on the lef, unimplanted side is

still as loud as ever.? I don't notice it as much since the CI gives me other

things to listen too?
