Tinnitus

Hi, I've had my pacemaker for about three years now without any problems, however not long after having my pacemaker fitted I developed Tinnitus. Has anybody else out there experienced the same problem.

Many thanks

Owen.

As to the root cause I've no idea other than possibly the leads are touching a nerve. I've learned to live with it and ignore the noise. After all I'm married 37.5 years so used to ignoring annoying noises in my ear

Who knows but...

I had pretty severe tinnitis before I had my CABG, four years ago.  It's since gotten better, to the point that I only notice it when someone reminds me of it (thanks a lot!).

Got a decade on you, Robo.  I've found it painful to ignore some things for too long.  Soetimes you gotta say "yes dear" and smile.

My tinnitus diminished

Mine diminished by around 75%.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
