Hi,
I actually wanted to post this long time ago but had beten dragging along. I had tinnitus problem for a long time but it wasn't bad. I only hear it sometimes, like when I'm trying to sleep. It has worsen for the past 6 months, I can hear it 24/7 as long as the room is quiet I can hear it. I went to ENT clinic but the doctor who checked on me said I have no problem with hearing. She found out that I have allergic rhinitis so I was given a steriod nasal spray to use every day. She said the tinnitus probably comes from the allergic rhinitis. I've been using this nasal spray for 3 months but I haven't seen any improvement.
On the last appointment with the doctor(this time I see another doctor in the clinic), she said tinnitus happens to some people. Sometimes if I can't clear it I have to "live" with this for the rest of my life. Wow... this is a very shocking revelation, to have a doctor asking me to live with it. Assuming if I can live another 35 years, now I'm 35... that's an awfully long years to suffer.
I have also turned to a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. The TCM doctor said I have deficient kidney energy which resulted in the tinnitus. I have also blood deficiency which also contributed to weak spleen, heart and lungs.. I took his medication but tinnitus hasn't cleared up and I also know that my body probably is weak I will need a lot of tonification in order to balance back my body or either I would say the TCM practitioner's herb combination of herbs doesn't help much.
I am practicing qi gong to help myself with better health. So far my hb has increased but other problems has not improved much.
I am asking if anyone would have any suggestion to improve the tinnitus or the allergy. Thanks.
