Tinnitus and head ringing in Menopause - HELP

Hi,

I'm 48 years old, and 15 months (ish) into taking HRT combined.

Last 2 months almost from nowhere I've developed the worst ringing in my head (not my ears) my head, along with the left side of my head and face feeling muffled and sometimes tingling, has anyone else experienced this? It's so bad I can hear the ringing / tinnitus over everything else.

Has anyone else / is anyone else experiencing this during their menopause, it's just exhausting and there's no let up from it, it's there 24 hours a day?

If anyone has any experience of this I'd be grateful to find out if and when it went away, as I'm seriously contemplating having some tinnitus devices fitted, but am unsure as I guess there may be a chance it will go on its own.

Any comments really appreciated x

Is it possible that the HRT may be causing your symptoms?

  Good question, i did consider that...going to Docs today so I'm going to talk to them about coming off it for a while, and seeing if it makes any difference 🤞. I'd honestly rather have the other symptoms back than live with this constant ringing!
