Tinnitus
by Kai1986, Mar 11, 2009 05:05PM
I have had tinnitus for over a year now. I celebrated my anniversary with tinnitus in october 2008. I am only 22 years old. It started when I was at work. I was a visiting aid until last friday but when It started I had a 103 year old patient who was dieing. I was so stressed out and knew that I may go to her room and she may be gone. I then heard a pitch noise in my ear, and there was tinnitus. I have been to a neurologist, ear specialist, family doctor and I see a chiropractor every week (not that that matters). I am desperate and sometimes I get nauseus from the tinnitus. I panic more and get upset when a room is quiet. It's hard for me to consentrate and the doctor said that only way to get rid of my tinnitus is when I have inner ear operation, which can be very dangerous. Is there any help for me, anywhere???

Thanks for writing to the forum!
There are many medical causes for tinnitus. Any investigations like MRI of the ear, auditory tests etc been carried out so far? Have the ENT doctors found the cause?
I have a strong feeling that your tinnitus is stress related. Since it is not continuous, I doubt there is an associated medical condition. A quiet room gives a feeling of impending doom and starts your tinnitus.
I would strongly recommend you to see psychiatrist. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
I would suggest reading Kevin Hogan's book "Tinnitus: Turning Down the Volume". A lot of useful information here. Plus he's one of the many that has delt with one of the most severe cases you can imagine. Check out his site at www.kevinhogan.com.
Best wishes.
I think I might have an idea what this is, as something like what you described happened to me. But my perspective is not a typical one. PM me if you'd like to discuss more. Thanks.
