Thanks diverjeff for the explanation!
I have only had audiology so far. I keep being told my symptoms will get better (i.e. tinnitus and balance) but how can they when the thing is still in there? I actually find my balance is slightly worse when the tinnitus worsens - I really wish there was more research in to AN's, how the cells get triggered to grow etc. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to who gets them - or is there? As there are all ages on here diagnosed there might be a common thing that has been missed??
There must be a reason why they 'switch on'??
I am tired of tinnitus being blanketed as an emotional response. I was feeling pretty good when I woke up yesterday but the tinnitus was worse what ever I did and is noisier today - more clicks, whistling, whooshing etc. feeling of pressure increased markedly too - surely it has more to do with the nerve being irritated by the AN than my emotions?
Take care all.
