I found that after waking up in the morning after using white noise all night, my T was worse and my ear was more sensitive. It gradually settled down a little during the day. I concluded that the relatively quiet white noise I was using was enough to cause issues over 8 hours.

It’s possible. I think that nerve was definitely angry/inflamed and it was contributing to my issues. Giving it a few months of quietness must have settled it down. As for the dizziness, I’ve read about many people having it with acoustic trauma cases. Lots of inner ear problems are directly...

It’s been a long time coming, but I wanted to share my success story in hopes that it inspires and helps others. My tinnitus started in January 2017 after suffering from a particularly bad cold with a 101-degree fever. I woke up one morning a couple days after the fever broke to a full feeling...

I agree about protecting your ears from unnecessary loud noise. I don’t think you want to overprotect though, as some sounds are good for healing your ears, but take a break from the iPod for awhile, and wear ear protection for things like lawn mowers, loud music, loud engines, white noise, etc...

Thanks for your insight and thoughts. I agree with much of what you said. I felt like the Doctor I saw had tons of knowledge, but failed to ask me in detail what I was experiencing and listen. We know our bodies best and what seems to make the T better or worse, what we were doing when it...

No, I did not have T before the flu or any ear issues whatsoever. My hearing was perfect. As for the timeframe, the noise exposure came right on the tail end of the flu, or maybe the next day. I have used similar devices before for white noise without issue, which is the only cause for doubt...

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for any confusion, but the order this occurred was: 1. Flu 2. Went to bed with loud fan/white noise on in bedroom (white noise machine next to my pillow) 3. Woke up to ear fullness, very sensitive to sound, muffled hearing, etc. 4. Short bouts of dizziness that...

Hello all, I have had issues with tinnitus, ear fullness, sound sensitivity, and reduced hearing in my right ear since January 2017. Recently, I also started having bouts of dizziness. This all began right after I got the flu and I woke up one morning to the start of these issues. I have...
