Update: I've been in to speak to my ENT twice since my last posting. After a lot of research a purchased as "Earpopper" http://www.earpopper.com/ and followed the instructions per fluid in the ear. (7-11 weeks) I will say that it has helped tremendously, but I still hear PT (albeit much quieter)...

I just got back from the ENT. Come to find out, I had a perforated eardrum and fluid on the ear. Compounded with my tinnitus and eustachian tube issues. Needless to say, he said the perforation is healing. The fluid will go away with time, and suggested that I take pseudoephedrine for tube...

Hey Fungus, The latter. She called in another nurse to answer any questions, but even that nurse walked out. This has been a roller coaster of a situation. I started the Prednisone (60mg x3 day for 6 days) and it's intense. The PT has gone away, but I'm dizzy and my head feels stuffy. The sounds...

Hello Karen, Thank you for your response. I looked into Whooshers.com, but they don't have a search feature. So I will look at the header of each post and see if there are any references. Yea, Having two types of tinnitus in one ear is tough! My GP said to come back in a month to check on...

Hello All, I'm new to the forum, but have been reading a wealth of information here! I have tinnitus from an accident in 2010. It's the "cricket" tinnitus and I've learned to deal with it, and strangely…find it comforting. Two weeks ago, I had a bad head cold and my head was very stuffy. I...
