Last year, a good friend of mine suffered from an intolerable problem of a ringing in one ear. Her doctor said that this was not tinnitus as she could only hear the ringing from one side, and not both and started here on antibiotics. These did nothing.
After further tests at her insistence, it turned out that she was actually affected in quite a bad way and her doctor wasn't sure what could be done to help her. Together we referred to this as her 'tinnitus one ear' syndrome since there seemed to be no official name for it.
After some further research we found out the usual causes of tinnitus and went back to her doctor with the information. We managed to get a plan of action sorted to have them addressed and in her case, she had actually suffered from some damage to the nerves which was only on one side of her head.
Several appointments were booked to have this seen too, and after the final session, the problem cleared up after about 3 weeks. The total time she had been suffering, since the first appointment, was 108 days - nearly 4 months. To say it ruined her life is exaggeration, there are many more people who have suffered much longer than this after being given the same advice. However, she did become frustrated and noticeably much more irritable. IT was quite clear just how much grief this was causing her.
Luckily, this was easy enough to address and after treatment, the problem cleared up quite quickly. However she still had to suffer longer than she should have if the problem was picked up sooner rather than later - and indeed from our own research / insistence.
If you have been told that your tinnitus - whether you suffer from ringing in one ear or both - isn't treatable, then think again. There's a lot that can be done as long as it is addressed correctly
