I developed tinnitus 5 months ago. It was 1st August 2015 when I first noticed it. I thought i would go away but sadly it has persisted. It came on after a stressful few years due to work related stress. I also have a heart condition called Afib which was also brought on by work related stress. I absolutely hate my tinnitus. Some days are better than others but mostly it is a living hell. My life as I knew it before T is over. Cannot relax properly since I got it. Cannot go to concerts or the cinema both of which I loved going to before T. I have times when I feel.dizzy or my head just feels not quite right. I am not sleeping well. I keep hoping there will be a cure someday. Hopefully soon! I want my life back!
