I have never seen this, nor can I imagine how this procedure (a nasopharyngoscope exam) could cause tinnitus.

I would simply ask for recommendations for relieving your symptoms and a long-term prognosis.

Examination of the ear through an operating microscope often discloses details not visible with an ordinary otoscope. Magnification ranges from 10X to 40X this way.

Paul, Prior to my personal problem and extensive research, I was quite uninformed about all that could be done to help sufferers of T or H. Sadly, ENT training still spends very little time dealing with these issues. General medical doctors have absolutely no clue. ENT specialists are not much...

The fact that your symptoms change with position suggests something akin to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. For an explanation, visit: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vertigo/basics/definition/con-20028216 I suggest a complete ENT evaluation (including a microscope exam) to...

@simon garnes, I doubt there is any connection between the eye drops and ear symptoms. For ear pain and/or tinnitus, always begin with an examination by an ENT specialist. Be aware that an imbalance of your bite can lead to TMJ imbalance and ear pain. Sometimes, tinnitus is related to TMJ...

@Dennis MacDonald, I am not aware of a relationship. High doses of aspirin are known to generate tinnitus, but typical small doses should not. I would personally suspect Lipitor, but am not a fan of this drug in any case. Many problems have been reported from its use - or overuse, in my opinion...

@jeannie, It's not possible to diagnose accurately without more information, including an examination. The hearing loss indicated on the audiogram above is mild, and would likely not interfere with normal conversation. I can't say more than this. Additional questions should be directed to your...

If my issue were one of frustration because my noise kept me awake last night, I might use a setup statement such as: "Even though I feel so totally frustrated right now because the noise in my head kept me from falling asleep last night, I deeply and completely accept myself." If my issue...

If I may interject an opinion, I agree with 1MW's statement. To elaborate, Meniere's disease represents a triad of symptoms described in the 19th century by French physician Prosper Meniere. Endolymphatic hydrops seems a far better term to help understand a common underlying problem. As...

There are many setup statements, depending upon each individual's dominant issue. I provide numerous examples within my online course, Tinnitus: Taking Control. Understandably, forum guidelines do not permit me to share a link to this course. Bless you, Dr Charlie Charles Smithdeal MD, FACS
