One of sisters (46 yrs. old) recently told me she recently had bouts of tinnitus. It's being monitored by ear, nose & throat specialist. Before it was balance problems for 8 months solid. Now that problem has been replaced with tinnitus.

My partner has had tinnitus often combined with headaches/pressure in his head for at least last 30 years of his life. He is 64.

Because he has had this combined problem for so long in life, often he doesn't tell me if he is suffering at that moment. His tinnitus & headaches occur particularily with barometic/air pressure changes. His body usually can sense an oncoming storm or just change in air pressure/weather, by such symptoms.

He takes nothing for any of this. If it's bad, he just power naps. Or tries. Or he asks me to distract....from the tinnitus.

He does find cycling actually helpful often ...it distracts him from the ringing noise and head pressure.

He also has a sleep disorder where he will fall asleep if his body is still for a few hrs., he will fall asleep. ie. watching movie, play or driving a car beyond 1-2 hrs. His sleep disorder, tinnitus, etc. have all been examined /tested by specialists at teaching hospitals.



Now you know why we don't own a car and why he must cycle.For his own sanity, safety and health.
