I recently have taken Zithromax for sinus infections several times in the past 3 years for sinus infections. I have not noticed a change while taking them, and I was conscious and monitoring it. I only stick with it because I don't want to take an AB that could cause a worsening. I don't...

Did you have tinnitus before taking it?

Hi All, Anyone with existing tinnitus experience a low hum when sick with a cold or sinus infection? My left ear normally has a low hum tone, very subtle though. When I get a cold it seems to increase and I feel a low hum in that ear louder but kind of in my head as well. Hoping it won't be...

Where were you? Were the alarms job or school related?

It's understandable to be upset with yourself, but no one realizes before tinnitus, that noise can have such severe impacts. Someone with cancer, would have the same regrets wondering what they may have been exposed to, to get it. The logic just isn't helpful, and no one can predict events...

Hi Ludvik, don't focus on regret of an incident. I put myself in situations I would think back on, and recall all the times I went to shows and wasn't completely protected. It really isn't helpful. As a musician and club-goer at the time, I seen many other musicians play show after show with...

Hey Tim, we have all been through the suicidal idealization tinnitus can bring on, especially when you start projecting into the future. Problem is the more you focus on the horrid sound and monitor it, the more it appears in the forefront. You're not alone in how you feel. I know you can't...

Wow, yeah a lot of people do. Mine is strange, simply moving around can create the feedback sound, the minute I stop moving it goes away. It comes every few weeks and leaves, then comes back. But this time it seems more reactive. And of course the more I stress and worry about it, the more it...

Sorry if this is not in the right forum, but I can't tell what exactly is going on with my ears, and the anxiety is only making it worse. When people talk, I talk, and certain background sounds such as wind, can create this 'ingggg' sound over the external noise. I do have tinnitus, but this...

It will go down the next few days. I would play shows and be exposed around loud music way longer and the next few days it would get better.

Have you tried xanax? It can be extremely helpful

Cocaine would probably make it worse!

Thanks for the informative response!

Sounds sort of what I have been going through now. (3 or 4 years ago I had tinnitus that would only appear with external sounds, like running water, people's voices, or the wind blowing. It would sound like flutes, and an echo-like wind tunnel sound, and would disappear in complete silence.)...

Interesting... I would think they would still find it distressing.
