Almost 3 years old. Very changeable at the moment. 2 base high pitch tones in left, 1 in right which I hear all the time. Then probably 2 or 3 much lower constantly changing tones which come and go but usually aren't loud enough to hear through the day. I think it is all caused by ETD caused by...

I've tried them for a week or so. It does seem to help with reactivity. Especially helps when watching tv. Usually after a while my tinnitus gets loud but that doesn't seem to happen with these in. They don't seem to reduce incoming sound but makes it er softer I guess, hard to explain. These...

Yup.. very similar symptoms. Not sure its exactly TTTS but whatever you call it I have similar symptoms other than the Jaw pain and vertigo which is described online. Ear fullness, fluttering (Especially when close to liquid for some reason), Eustachian tubes seem to work most of the time but...

@Juan no they haven't.. to be honest they havent done much of anything apart from those tests. Going to push for another ENT appointment. Sorry late reply. Been doing really well with nose congestion and then suddenly woke up with sensation of wax coming out of my ear and then big spike this...

Sorry I didnt get a notification of any posts on this thread. @PugDog1 yes I got a humidifier and it certainly does work for reducing the congestion at night. Managed to wake up a few times totally clear in the morning. I stopped using sterimar as it was getting into my ET and causing T spikes...

Sorry forgot to respond to this. I have it on and off which most of the time seems tied to periods of nose / sinus congestion but confusingly not always. I'm not sure whether the congestion causes sensitivity to sound due to pressure problems and the other times are when I've just been in loud...

Hi there! I also have ETD but dont think I have TMJ quite yet though I think that might be on the way. I also have unilateral tinnitus but in my left ear. I also have what you are describing. I call this 'reactive tinnitus' but many people describe reactive tinnitus as their tinnitus rising to...

Good Morning Everyone Yet another bump in the world of tinnitus. Stuck in a major rut and need some help. I now feel like I have enough information to present the symptoms correctly. I've had tinnitus for 2 and a half years. Had ENT tests (hearing test, Tympanometry and MRI) which were all...

This might be different for yourself as my T is apparently caused by ETD issues (though not certainly) but I just want to give you an idea of what it would be like. I have mild H and since onset have had TTTS also. Neither bother me as much as the T which is in both but overwhelmingly in my left...

Hmm glad I found this post. It seems I have very similar symptoms to you. I've had T since October 2017 (I'm not sure whether I had since childhood) which was investigated and the consensus of 2 ENTs is ETD. Much higher in the left but was in my right though that's reduced so I'm not sure if...

Hi all short update. It's been almost 2 months since the new T appeared and it has gone back to normal on that ear. It had a slow decline back to baseline and I especially noticed a change after the first month or so. It is still the most temperamental of the two as it gets a lot of temproarary...

Thanks for the comments guys. Saw the GP and got the usual, nothing we can do message. No trauma visable to the eardrum so at least that is a plus. The reactive tinnitus has gotten better in the past couple of days so things are improving. The overall level is still very high so looks like I...

Hello fellow sufferers, I have had tinnitus for 2 years and 5 months in both ears but mainly in my left, caused by...? It is constant and loud but does get masked by the shower for example, unless it is in a bad mood which means nothing can mask it. The first few months were tough but I...

Well a spike in my T has reminded me about this post so going to give a bit of an update. Things are basically the same as they were around a year ago. I have now had tinnitus since Oct 2017 due to a completely unknown reason (the docs have discounted ETD). High pitched like an old CRT tv in...

Sorry for the late reply been busy over the last few days. But yeah I understand it can be hard to concentrate and listen to things especially on TV. It doesn't exactly mask the words but it prevents you from actually listening to what they are saying. For me this has reduced drastically since...
