| Anyone had this in perimenopause or post menopause or after hysterectomy or oophorectomy or tube removal? Or with hormone replacement? High pitched constant ringing? |

| Don’t know anyone in my peri menopausal group experiencing that. Did you have a vaccine recently? One of the potential side effects. |

| Sounds like tinnitus, which occurs pretty frequently in people with common age-related hearing loss. There are lots of posts about it on this forum. |

| Is it on one side or both? |

| Both sides. Long before vaccine |

| My tinnitus started when I was about 44; I'm 48 now. I guess I'm in early stages of perimenopause (periods becoming a bit more irregular, PMS symptoms more noticeable than they have been since I was a teen). I don't think this is an unusual age for tinnitus to begin. It sucks. |

Does it mean we are destined for deafness?? |

No, it just means you will always have the ringing and there isn't anything doctors can do. It sucks. It can start at any time and never go away. |

Ok but does it go away for some people? |

| NP and 45. I bought a noise machine and use it every night when I sleep. It helps significantly. Mine is not severe but daily and I don’t notice it as much since I have a busy, fairly loud job. It’s the worst when I’m in bed at night. The dr and ENT said there is nothing wrong with me and nothing that can be done. |

| Weird. I had an oophorectomy in 2018, and developed ringing in my ears at some point in the last few years. Wish I had done a better job of noticing when it started. |

| Tinnitus started when I was 46. After three years my brain was adapted to it, that means I can sleep witohut noise machine because the tinnitus doesn't disturb me anymore. Most people learn to live with tinnitus but it needs time. |

I've had mine for years. It can go away but mine hasn't. The covid vaccine made it worse too. Double joy. |

| Longtime tinnitus sufferer here (not sure whether it's menopause, autoimmune disease, or damage due to my long ago screamy toddler). Not a permanent fix, but this can sometimes bring short-term relief. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi8nbHQhPDzAhUJETQIHc7TBhkQFnoECAUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrudenta.com%2Fthis-simple-trick-may-help-with-tinnitus%2F&usg=AOvVaw13a_tWToH8xlgRiJzMX43p |
