thanks xxx

Hi

Happy to answer!

Yes I did have it before HRT but it seems to have gotten worse over the past year - maybe Covid related?

HRT certainly didn’t make any difference before but it’s hard to know if menopause caused the tinnitus in the first place or something else!

It’s pain in the ear though lol

Hi  Nik2502

It's really interesting as the research regarding this, shows completely two opposite things. One research that estrogen makes T better or at least helps it, the other the opposite.

And yes I do think Covid has an awful lot to answer for!!!

thanks so much Nik2502xxxxx

hi vive

can i ask when your tinnitus started.

was it around menopause ?

theres evidence to suggest fluctusting hormones and/or low estrogen can trigger tinnitus x

Looking back, tinnitus was possibly my first peri symptom (in my early 40’s) It’s got worse since starting HRT, sadly, but if that’s the worst thing that happens I’ll take it!

hi wragmop

yes tinnitus can be quite a common peri symptom.

its interesting you say its got worse since starting hrt as usually hrt is meant to help.
