    Trigger Warning: My Friend's Husband Killed Her and Himself Because of His Severe Tinnitus

    I'm sorry but it's complete lunacy to assume that tinnitus would make someone violently murder another person, then hang themselves in one fell swoop. That's mental illness and serious psychopathy. I'm a little surprised people are pushing this notion that it's normal / expected for someone...

    Why Does ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction) Take So Long to Heal?

    I have officially had ETD now for 2 years. It started due to an ear infection and since then I've had ringing, hissing, a constant white noise, and now I have a combination of a consistent hum and hiss. It's mind numbing and infuriating. I have tried EVERYTHING. Everything. Antibiotics...

    Trigger Warning: My Friend's Husband Killed Her and Himself Because of His Severe Tinnitus

    You will find a lot more healing if you don't blame the tinnitus for him being a murdering POS. Millions of people have tinnitus and do not murder people over it. He was clearly extremely deranged and a revolting, vile person.

    After 6 Years of Coping with Tinnitus, I Developed a Low-Pitched Humming — Caused by Stress?

    Hey Vicki, you need to go to your GP and get them to request a CT scan at a hospital. If you're having facial pain and headaches, then you could have a tumor, a mucus ball blockage, or anything else. You need to see an ENT. I have no facial pain, just occasional headaches/tension in my face...

    Hum in Ear Only One Day After Taking Cefalexin (Keflex)

    Nope. I've never had tinnitus before. I used to be able to hear pure silence and a pin drop from a mile away. All this buzzing, humming and hissing is ever since the sinus infection hit.

    Hum in Ear Only One Day After Taking Cefalexin (Keflex)

    We're talking about antibiotics, not antidepressants.

    Hum in Ear Only One Day After Taking Cefalexin (Keflex)

    Hey, thanks for responding. But I had no tinnitus before the sinus infection, and no humming before the Cefalexin. It quite literally overnight caused the humming in my ear 4 months ago and it's still there. Just a constant hmmmm sound. It's really beginning to bother me. I don't have any...

    Hum in Ear Only One Day After Taking Cefalexin (Keflex)

    So back in November I was given Cefalexin (Keflex), an antibiotic, because my doctors were (wrongfully) under the assumption that I had a bacterial infection in my sinuses. Turns out I had a fungal infection in my sinuses. This was causing a hissing/electricity noise in my ear and the ENT said...

    Fixed My Tinnitus by Going Gluten Free

    It takes 2-4 weeks for gluten toxins to entirely flush out of your body. The gluten free diet also only works if you don't smoke and drink alcohol in terms of energy levels.

    Fixed My Tinnitus by Going Gluten Free

    Yeah if you have yellow thrush, you have Candida. See a doctor ASAP as you need anti-fungal medications. No amount of diet will get rid of it, even though people on the internet insist differently. If you're in the UK, you can buy Candida-Away or Candida Support vitamins which helped finally...

    Fixed My Tinnitus by Going Gluten Free

    If you're craving sugar after a meal, then this is your digestive system struggling to digest it, thus causing a sugar craving (for energy). Which is a sure sign that yes, your gut bacteria is unbalanced. Honestly? You can take both. There's no harm in regularly eating carrots, apples and...

    Fixed My Tinnitus by Going Gluten Free

    Thank you! Honestly the only way to get through it is to buy decent gluten free alternatives and fill up on prebiotic food. Prebiotics are good for the gut and can (sometimes) address tinnitus issues if it's caused by an imbalanced gut bacteria or candida. Prebiotic foods are super filling and...

    Fixed My Tinnitus by Going Gluten Free

    Here is the update as promised! I am going to make this as detailed as possible to help people here (and anyone who finds this thread). PROBLEM: Hissing electrical tinnitus in left ear after sinus infection and ear infection. Very swollen turbinates in left nostril. It's been almost a year now...

    Fixed My Tinnitus by Going Gluten Free

    Dove's farm range at Sainsbury's is great. The pasta, spaghetti and bread taste like the originals. I actually think it tastes better because there's no wheat flour in it caking it up. It's originally made in Italy where they specialise in gluten free products now so it's decent stuff...

    Stuart's salty because it didn't work for him but it has worked for others (multiple posts linked above) and it has helped me. Lol.
