"Mine really isn't a ringing, more of a whooshing / roaring. Today noise has felt like it's reverberating in my head, which has definitely made any concentrating difficult. Sometimes the ear feels full or like there's a load of pressure inside it. Sometimes it hurts"
Oh Jeanna - Now I was going to say I've just started the SSZ - been about 6/7 weeks now, and aside from the fact that I feel like my head is full, I can't really say I've had tinnitus...
But your description fits me to a "t".
The whooshing/roaring is constant and it's driving me insane!
I figured I just had a nagging sinus infection or the like...but my actual nasal passage are clear as clear can be.
And given that I'm a migraine sufferer, I used that to explain away the head noise too. (even though I take a migraine preventative that has been working really well for over a year now)
Soooooo - perhaps we're onto something together here. And I am sad too - because, I think the SSZ was just starting to provide some pain relief.
Yikes...
