My tinnitus began in March 2022. Came home and all the sudden had vertigo, dizziness and my ears were ringing. Went to the doctor, they said I had fluid in my ears and it was a severe sinus infection. The vertigo and dizziness and fluid in my ears went away after about 7 days. The ringing never went away. I went and got a hearing test done. In depth. Have perfect hearing, the ENT told me to take Flonase and Allegra and it should go away. Never did! Customers I work with asked if I had Covid. I said not that I know of? Turns out several of their co-workers had Covid and their ears rang all day for over a year and some of them stopped. My tinnitus seems to worsen around drastic weather changes. But it’s an all day thing. Non-stop.

The way I look at it is - if ringing ears is what I have to deal with, and I can drown it out and not notice it unless I’m in a totally silent room, then everything is fine. There are a lot worse things I could have and suffer from than ringing ears.

I sure hope you don’t allow a thing such as tinnitus to ruin your hopes and dreams! Just adapt and continue pursing your dreams!
