Yes, it can go away, but it might not. It will probably get easier to ignore though. By any chance are you in the Midwest in the US? I've had low pitched tinnitus after a cold for nearly 2 months now. I've been to an ENT, had a bunch of tests, and I was told my symptoms "sound like"...

How'd it go?

@Marie Stenhouse I'm learning that Tinnitus and ear issues are complex and crazy. :) what's true for one person isn't true for another. Don't worry just yet. Two weeks after a cold is still within the healing timeframe. What does your tinnitus sound like? Do you have any other ear...

@Dominic1955 Any update? I have the exact same problem...when my ear feels full, my hearing drops, when the fullness dissipates, the hearing comes back. I follow up with my ENT next week, but he didn't seem to know too much about hydrops...just said if I didn't have vertigo, it wasn't an inner...

I'm learning that tinnitus is a crazy thing! Yes, you do have tinnitus...hearing a noise that is not there is tinnitus. Now, could it be caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction? Yes, maybe. I'm sort of in the same boat. I developed a low humming sound during an upper respitory infection. Like...

Hi everyone! My low hum tinnitus after an upper respitory virus continues. Quick background: mid December, I started waking with plugged ears, but it would always get better as the day went on. Then, it got bad right before Christmas, the urgent care dr diagnosed fluid in ears, but no...

I don't think he has any idea what's going on, LOL. Lots of "hmmm, that's interesting" comments. I had a full hearing test with bone conduction as well. Audiologist said my left ear was the "best" ear she's tested in quite some time. My "official" audiogram had low frequency in my right ear...

Hi everyone! I introduced myself a while ago, and explained that I developed a low pitched humming in my right ear after an upper respitory virus that clogged my ears. It's been about a month with ear fullness and humming. Based on Google searches and reading lots of posts here, I suspect I...

@Gin I'm glad your heart doesn't have any problems, but so sad and frustrated for you that you didn't get any answers. :(

Oops, cart before the horse, haha. I need to learn how to edit a post. :)

Thanks, @Gin. I've actually read a lot of your posts and can identify nearly 100% with the hum you describe. (I hope that doesn't sound too creepy!). I don't, however, have much in the way of dizziness (yet?) Yesterday, the hum went away on its own, and it's been gone all morning. I have a...

It's good that the pain is subsiding! Probably the infection (bacterial or viral) starting to clear up. I would definitely start with the University clinic. The dr there should be able to give you some advice and guidance, not only about your ear but also about the health care system. Here...

@joseph Ghass Thanks for the information, I'll check out your protocol thread! It sounds like a pretty healthy way to be eating anyway, ear issues or not. @Frayact did you have an ECOG (electrocochleography)?

@EarInfection When my ears were full, I just went to Urgent Care...do you have something similar? I could be seen right away, and the doctor confirmed that there was no infection by looking in my ears. Most urgent care does see a lot of ear infections and possible infections. The dr didn't...

Hi there! I also had an upper respitory infection that led to fluid getting backed up in my ears and starting a few tinnitus noises (high pitched whistle, low pitched hum). The doctor I saw explained that when your ears are full with fluid it can affect how your brain interprets things...
