My tinnitus and ear problems started with an MVA, head and neck trauma, spine damage in neck. I've been to many ENTs and a neurotologist, had many tests, was on diuretics, medications, etc... I have constant loud metallic screeching tinnitus which has never changed in 5 years since the MVA...

Many interesting papers. COFRE paper (#2) would help identify where tinnitus is coming from, and perhaps, lead to more scientific breakthroughs in determining origin to address the devastating problem. My tinnitus is trauma-induced, and is constant since my accident with head and neck trauma...

Hello Striveon, I can certainly understand how you feel, unfortunately. I have loud non-stop screeching metallic tinnitus which is at an insane level 24/7. It spikes randomly, too, throughout the day. It has ruined my life and I think about death every single day since the last 2.5 years...

Fishbone...thank you for your post. I have the loud chronic metallic non-stop tinnitus in my ears/head and it seems unbearable at times. Thanks for re-grounding me.

There is a good tinnitus specialist at Salus University, PA Ear Institute, Dr. Blaha. Although there is no cure for tinnitus, she has the specialized testing and treatment approaches to adapt to it. She is right outside of Philadelphia in Elkins Park, PA.

My non-stop loud metallic screeching tinnitus stops me from getting any more than a couple of hours of sleep at a time. I fall asleep from exhaustion. When I awake, getting back to sleep with screeching in my ears/head is almost impossible. I have no quality of life because of tinnitus, and...

My ENT had me on several antihistamines/nasal sprays to rule out Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. They did not help. I have chronic 24/7 loud metallic tinnitus, ear fullness, hearing loss, hyperacusis, both ears feel foamy/crackling/crunchy and get worse when yawning and swallowing. I get the...

An idea would be to report them to your state's medical licensing board, and ask for fines, suspension of licenses, further education, and for the complaint to stay on their permanent record. I am doing this with a few of my former doctors, who were clearly negligent in their practicing of...

I'm on Diamox and it has not changed my loud screeching 24/7 tinnitus from 2 years ago and counting. It did help to relieve other things in the ears, the crackling and pressure from endolymphatic hydrops. I was hoping that the relief of the hydrops would lower the tinnitus, but it has not. My...

My non-stop tinnitus is loud screeching metallic sound, so I'm in the same situation as many people here. I'm still trying to find help and welcome the input of how to manage with this type of tinnitus. It is the level where people just go mad and lose their sanity, IMO. At 3, 4 am when it...
