I don’t quite see what you mean. Are you saying that because I’ve experienced a earfullness sensation this will not be something that can just fix and then go away?

What is that sorry? If you could just briefly explain, thanks.

Ok I’ll try steam inhalation. Any reason why I should have my blood pressure checked? What am I checking for or why might it be higher? Isn’t that to be with diabetes or something and what’s it got to do with my T? Any help would be appreciated again thanks

Ok, what does this mean? How do you damage your inner ear and what can this lead to?

Okay so I’ve had tinnitus for about 4-5weeks and I’ve got a doctors appointment booked for the 20th of December to see what the cause could be as I don’t think it’s to do with damage by loud noises. In the last couple of weeks I’ve experienced pulsatile tinnitus 5 or 6 times after exercise, but...

Got a doctors appointment booked for the 20th of December so I’ll see what happens. Still had mild T last week or so and has been fluctuating on and off. Hoping they can see what’s going on and pinpoint the problem.

I will get on that because you are right. Thank you for your help. I live in England so it won’t be the same as by the sound of it you (and most others on this forum) are American but a doctor is a doctor and I agree professional info is needed. I will tell them what I think it is. (using some...

I just tried holding my nose and blowing gently and I could hear cracking in my head. Does that mean the problem for me is differently fluid trapped? Or can the cracking be for other reasons as well? Also is it common that this cold will stay around for some time if this fluid is trapped...

Okay so I’ve just heard that putting your finger in your ear is not a good way to clear ear wax because it pushes it back. Is it possibly me using my finger to clear ear wax caused my T? Can I push ear wax back and cause T or is that not possible? Should I use drops or see a Doctor?

Right so I’ve not been putting my finger in my ear to get ear wax for a few days, then today I did it again and there was significantly more which I guess makes sense, but is it normal that all you have to do is push your finger (not too hard) into your ear and there is quite a lot of ear wax...

Okay, thank you so much. I have been worrying about this for while but knowing it could just go away to the point where it is rarely noticeable is very reassuring. I will try to take on your advice about no concerts but I just don’t know whether at my age I can really say no headphones. I have...

Thanks a lot Bill, and I’m beginning to agree. I’ll assess how the situation seems in time but you may be right about not wanting to risk my T getting worse (and subsequently living a life of hell) just for a few concerts. Just a few questions: So is it common that mild T has faded to almost...

Okay so I’m 14 and have had mild tinnitus for just about 2 weeks. By mild I mean I don’t hear it through the day at all unless in complete silence, but it’s always there. It isn’t bothering me too much when I try to sleep as I’m usually so tired anyway. It’s more the physiological side that’s...

Okay Bill, that seems to make sense the thing I just don’t understand now is how my T really came about then, because I wasn’t listening to a relatively loud sound just before, but I still can’t believe me putting something directly in my ears hasn’t damaged them in some way.

Okay BuzzyBee, thanks a lot. So should I be getting on that ASAP? Is there any way I could kind of tell if it was wax build up causing my tinnitus like particular symptoms or do you just have to get it checked. Thanks for your help
