Great job, Tinnitus Talk team, thanks a lot for that!!!:)

@AliceW Dear Alice, I'm so sorry for your condition! I hope it will improve soon, I want to send you some energy and hope. And thanks a lot for sharing your story, it is important to know about your experience. Whatever caused it, the cold (a virus), Lenire, or the combination of both, is not...

Hi Winter, I also suffered from ear infection recently, it took me three months to heal in total. But mine was a bit different to yours I guess. I had fluid behind the eardrum and my ear canal and sinuses were swollen, I also guess my eustachian tube was swollen, that's how it felt, but I...

Oh my god! It's so sad to read this. Rest in peace dear Allan1967.

Hi Yuuls, I live in Germany, and ENTs here don't diagnose hyperacusis. Many times it is ignored by them, they just tell not to protect the hearing in everyday life. And this is a very general statement because: what is everyday life? So when is it important to protect and when is it not? And...

Hi Yuuls, I guess I know what you mean and this is a very sensible subject to talk or write about. This is how I deal with it: Nobody knows that I still have (mild) tinnitus and hyperacusis. I'm not even sure if it is really hyperacusis or my perception, of course I pay more attention to loud...

Hi Allan, It seems like your ear infection isn't completely gone, whatever it was. So I guess antibiotics would be worth a try, well I hope I'm right. I'm dealing with a similar thing again, but mine is not visible on the ear drum yet. Just everything feels swollen, I'm on antibiotics...

Hi there everyone, I'm still busy with my ear infection thing. The fluid behind the ear drum was almost gone, I guess it lasted two weeks or something like that when it was ok and then it came all the way back. I caught a cold again, and the fluid and swelling came back. So now I'm dealing...

@Liz Windsor, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Well, I am not a native English speaker, so maybe that's why I can't catch the meaning of your writing completely. So I would like to ask you: - Are you saying it is too early to make a statement like: Lenire works for me, or Lenire...

@ruud1boy and @Cojackb, Thanks a lot for your updates guys. It seems like we don't have a real "success story" right now. Maybe we hear from @Liz Windsor, @TinMan, @jacob21 and @Redknight soon. Maybe they have experienced some benefit. As far as I know those are the others who have passed 12...

Hi Rb86, thanks for your advice. I have the apple cider vinegar at home. Nice Idea, I will try this. Now it's 80 percent gone, so not bad, but not completely healed either. I know it takes time, and it seems long, but I have had it only 3 weeks tomorrow, so that's not too bad. Also I have...

Hi Julien, If I were you and able to leave, I would do so. I live in Berlin, Germany, and we also have a lot of bombs form World War II. Sometimes they are just found because of construction work. Then we are also told that they are going to dismantle it, and to stay away from certain...

Update: Today I'm feeling better, I still have hope that the fluid in my right ear will subside. It just came into my mind to mention this: I asked the ENT if Azithromycin is ototoxic, and she looked it up in a special internal system on her computer. What it exactly was where she looked I...

Hi Allan, Did you go to the ENT or somewhere else? In Germany all doctors now have to offer special times where emergency cases can visit them. It means you could go everyday to the ENT if you have any problem. It's not the same in the UK? Usually they should know how to treat your symptoms...

Hi there Allan, I hope the infection doesn't increase your tinnitus permanently. It can happen, but it can also NOT happen. I have had at least 7 ear infections already, I mean the so called "otitis media" and they have not increased my tinnitus. The thing is, the infection makes the tinnitus...
