Tinnitus and perimenopause.
A persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming with no source in the room. Estrogen appears to play a protective role in hearing, and tinnitus shows up or worsens for some women across the transition. Less widely covered in mainstream patient guides than other symptoms.

How Primrose & Eve tracks tinnitus
Primrose & Eve lets you log tinnitus in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

What is tinnitus in perimenopause?
A persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming with no source in the room. Estrogen appears to play a protective role in hearing, and tinnitus shows up or worsens for some women across the transition. Less widely covered in mainstream patient guides than other symptoms.
Is tinnitus a recognized perimenopause symptom?
Yes. Tinnitus is one of 34 named symptoms in the perimenopause transition. It is documented by The Menopause Society. It is one of the less-visible symptoms — real and common, but easy to miss or dismiss in a short appointment.
How can I track tinnitus during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log tinnitus in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time. Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
