Unfortunately, it has gotten much worse. I now have clicking in both ears, along with pain hyperacusis in both ears. They also used a spray bottle on me. About six weeks after the procedure, I am truly suffering.

I feel a tightness on the outside of my ear canal, along with facial tension around the ear, mostly in front and below. This started a few weeks ago after having my ear irrigated for wax removal. It is in my left ear. I have had longstanding tinnitus in my right ear, but honestly, this tension...

I’m not sure if this is the same as what others have experienced, but a few weeks ago, I had my ears irrigated. Ever since then, the outside of my left ear has felt like a muscle is contracting. I feel it right at the bottom of my earlobe. The doctor had a hard time removing the wax, and it...

A couple of weeks ago, I visited my family doctor. She checked my ears and said they were blocked with wax. I’ve had longstanding tinnitus in my right ear, but my left ear was fine before. She recommended irrigating them to remove the wax. The irrigation for my right ear (the one with tinnitus)...

Thanks for that, @ErikaS. I'm glad to hear things have improved for you, and it also gives me hope that this condition can improve over time. I try to avoid noisy situations now but will likely also try to limit my use of earplugs as I feel that overuse can cause other issues over time. Right...

First, let me say how incredibly informative this thread is and likely far exceeds any useful information that any of us would receive from a health professional. And @ErikaS, you have described exactly what I feel. My reactive tinnitus reacts to everything, like running water, door slamming...

Interesting. My tinnitus radically drops while eating/chewing. I wish I could do it all day. What does that mean?

I have a similar issue after an MRI scan. It has been six weeks and counting. I can hear it pretty much over everything, whereas prior to the scan, I forgot about tinnitus most of the time and lived a normal life. The tone seems to have changed from a piercing high-pitched ring to more of a...

Thanks for sharing. I also now experience reactive tinnitus. I remember experiencing it years ago when my tinnitus was just a fraction of what it is now. The reactivity did resolve with time so I'm hoping for the same. I cannot believe how just a few minutes in that tube even with ear plugs...

I understand that this is an old post, but I had a similar experience and I wanted to share it. Six months ago, I went for an MRI at a different center than where I had my previous three MRIs. I brought my own earplugs and the MRI of my neck lasted about 15 minutes. Immediately after the MRI, I...

Tried it last winter. No effect whatsoever. Only difference is I’m $350 poorer.

I have tried a multitude of supplements that claim to help with stress, anxiety, insomnia, etc. To date, NONE of them have had any effect whatsoever. The only thing that helps is a benzo. One day, I think I may chuck my entire supplement cabinet because not a single one has done anything, as...

Anyone else get positive results with this? I'd like to try it but already have too many bottles of supplements that didn't work.

Lol. I had a fear of this happening as well so I checked my body thoroughly after he finished. At least he didn't leave any needles.
