Do I have tinnitus, it's constant?

Question:

I'm 18, and for as long as I can remember I've had this roaring, stinging sound in my head. Non-stop. Once when I was still an infant I recall asking my mother why I always have this loud sound in my head. She didn't think it was anything serious. I haven't brought it up again since then.

When the room is silent, it gets louder and louder. Sometimes I listen to it at night, and it becomes so loud that I get scared and would make any kind of sound like coughing or clapping to 'snap out of it' sort of thing. It's always there. I'm never without it. Does everybody have this? Should I be worried?

Answer:

There are thousands of people got tinnitus, I am one of them and it tends to go through phases of being loud and then not so loud. If you concentrate on it I think it gets worse. I'm sorry for you as its a horrible disease. You try taking Natracalm tablets during the day as this helps to calm you as stress seems to make the tinnitus worse. Hope this helps.

Question about fleeting Tinnitus?

Q:

Anyone just been standing around, and all of a sudden you get like a head rush, one of you ears goes kinda deaf and there is a loud ringing for like 30 seconds, maybe less than that....

It's almost like a threshold shift, or like something is resetting itself.... 

A:

Any idea what causes, or what to do about "fleeting tinnitus"?

Tinnitus has deafened me. It started long ago with spells like you described and accelerated to the point where it seem there is excavating equipment in my head day and night. I advise you to see a hearing specialist NOW!
