I am 43, male, living in Southampton and I have had ETD for several years. It is slowly getting worse and I am going insane. Sounds are becomming more and more uncomfortble and now I walk around at work with headphones on and everyone thinks Im an anti social freak. On top of that the loss of sense-of-well-being and GP's only ever wanting to prescribe antibiotics. Crazy ;( Steve

    Hi. How is everyone? My left ear is awful...feels full all the time and pops and crackles. Using all the things I have. Do you all struggle with noise? I find going into shops or being in the car the worst... Think its enclosed spaces where sound can't travel.
