Earwax buildup when getting pregnant

Ladies, I'm a 30-year-old mom and already have 3 beautiful kids with my ex: two girls, aged 11 and 8, and a son who's 4.

But now my current boyfriend and I would really like to have a baby together. However, I've been dealing with tinnitus for about a year now, and I've read that it can worsen during pregnancy, which is holding me back.

Are there any ladies here who have experience with this??

    I also suffer from tinnitus, and during my first pregnancy it got a bit worse, but it was in waves. I didn’t experience much more than usual. During my second pregnancy, I had no extra issues with it.

    Thanks for your answer. How did you develop tinnitus? Have you had it for a long time? And how do you cope with it? Sorry for all the questions.

    Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Yeah, how do I deal with it? Currently, I'm really struggling with the idea that I'll have to deal with this for the rest of my life. It's been 13 months now... I started off depressed and read a lot on Google—the horror stories of people whose condition only gets worse over the years, and even those who commit suicide because of it. I got it from carnival music, so I've had all the hearing tests done, no damage could be found. The ENT said it might go away, but I'm so preoccupied with it that it's really affecting my daily life. I'm constantly listening to see if it's getting worse. And yes, I'm very afraid to give myself and my husband a little miracle... Could I maybe get your number to talk to you? It always does me good...
