tinnitus

[Scarlett]

Does anyone know of any remedies- herbal or otherwise? How do you stop yourself from going mad?

If it is tinnitus, There is no cure it always comes and goes...

I would check with a doctor if i was you because me and my wife thought we had that but it was somthing called labarinthitus, which can be cured with antibiotics... Hope this helped (get well soon)

Scarlett, although this doesn't answer your question I really hope you don't have tinnitus.

I have always had a fear of being affected by this condition and as I get older (I'm 44 in July) I find that I'm getting more intolerant of background noise. I've always had the radio on whenever I've been home but nowadays I find peace and quiet on a morning is sometimes preferable to music. I really think that constant noise in my own ears would drive me mad and so once again hope you get it sorted out.
