1. Pam Busby Graham Pam Busby Graham United States says:

    I developed tinnitus when I had a bacterial or viral infection in 2010. I was informed at that time I had hearing loss in my left ear as a result of the infection and given a prescription for a hearing aid. The tinnitus is 24/7, non-stop. The sound pulsates consistently with my heart beat.  Doctors cannot tell me why this is or the reason for my tinnitus. If I do purchase a hearing aid (which costs a lot and the health insurance does not cover the cost) will it make the tinnitus worse or better? Any suggestions?
