I have had tinnitus in my left ear for almost three months and I relate to everything you have said. It started immediately after I had a myringotomy in that ear. It was so loud when it first started I will call it screamingly loud. It has quieted down by about 75%. The ent as of two weeks ago...

Hello Luisa, Yes, mine is the same way. I have been having a problem with one of my ears since July after an infection and the ct showed nothing. I have quit working as the tinnitus and other sounds are bothersome. Same with conversations. I'm depressed. It's a very long...

Hello Dr. Ancill, I'm hoping you might be able to answer a question or two that I have. I had a myringotomy six weeks ago and immediately after the procedure my ear started ringing. I never had this problem before. What would cause this to happen? At first it was...

Hi Steve K, This probably won't help you any but maybe you can help me. I've had tinnitus in my ear for over a month now. I had a myringotomy and immediately after the procedure the shrieking, buzzing, beeping, tinnitus started. This started while I was still in the exam...

Yes, I have it too. It is suppose to be eustachian tube dysfunction. Fullness of the ear and blocked feeling can be symptoms of other illness's as well. If you don't have any other symptoms I wouldn't worry about it being anything else. Sometimes an ear tube can help with the fullness blocked...

That's what has been happening to me with the myringotomy that I had over a month ago. Shrill ringing out of that ear hasn't stopped. Has gotten to where I don't have to have background noise anymore so I a guess it has gotten softer in the sound of tone. Can't hear right because of it. Alittle...

I forgot to ask you what the cortisone infusion is? Also how is your hearing now that your eardrum has healed? Do you think that any of the things that you have tried have helped in any way? Have any doctors told you anything about what to expect? Do you think that your tinnitus will gradually...

Hello Robb, I'm basically in the same situation that your in. I had a myringotomy a month ago and my ear has been ringing ever since. I've thought that it might be the anesthetic that was used on my eardrum called phenol that has caused this tinnitus. I've read if it...

Hello Zeo, I sounds like you've had tinnitus about as long as I have. Mine started immediately after a myringotomy. Has anybody ever sued a doctor for tinnitus? Because mine was caused by this procedure. I keep wondering if it will go away but it never does. Has your...

Packy, Did you have tinnitus before you got the tubes or after? Is it both ears or one?

Hi Neenie, I'm on board with you about tinnitus ruining your life because my ear issue certainly has done that. I had a myringotomy a month ago and my ear has been ringing ever since. The volume has decreased somewhat. If having the cochlear hairs damaged is what causes...

Hi Robb, I have had a similar thing happen to me. I had a myringotomy a month ago and my ear has been ringing ever since. It's been constant. It has gotten alittle more quiet at times although I'm not sure if I'm just getting use to it or if that is what is known as spikes. I...

Hi Leo, I read most of the article. It was alittle scientific for me so I didn't understand alot. Hope you can help me. I posted about my tinnitus that was caused by a myringotomy. I'm trying to find out why the myringotomy caused the tinnitus. I know that it did just can't prove...
