Does it get worse with Age?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've had tinnitus for about a year now, I usually don't notice it apart from a flare which can last for weeks. It pretty much sounds like a tv that's been left on with no volume (buzz), along with a subtle but constant high pitch tone. After some initial anxiety i've been able to cope with it quite well and don't usually notice it in spaces with ambient noise. For those of you that are aging and have coped for years with the condition, my question is-- does it get worse, objectively speaking?

yes it does get worse i first came to
it 3 years ago and now 3 years later it
has gotten real loud with whole bunch of
different sounds. for me i keep it under control by taking low dosages of xanax
it does not cure it but it keeps the noise
to a level where i do not feel like putting my head through a wall . maybe someday the medical world will take this seriously and
start research on finding a cure

31 years, 13 sounds, accompanied with hyperacusis and occasionally tensor tympani syndrome.
Short answer: no!
Why: you get a lot of other s**t as well, so the brain can't notice tinnitus as easily anymore. Plus the fact the affected ear area hopefully won't feel the need to send the warning signal of tinnitus as it used to do, over time.
