The unfortunate re-occurring theme of tinnitus lol.

How bad is your tinnitus and how did you get it ?

@4alien2 Sorry to hijack the thread, but do you have, by any chance, ear spasms (TTTS or MEM) related to eustachian tube dysfunction? Which were the tests you had? I read from a post that you have a muscle malfunction, so I thought I'd ask. My problem is spasms and Magnesium has done zero...

I was asking 4Alien2 how bad is your tinnitus and how was yours caused?

@4alien2 Can you describe exactly what your ETD is doing, please?
4alien2
During the tympanometry test and eustachian function tests, I was asked to perform the Valsavla maneuver and also Tonybe. @Supersix
Supersix
When you did the Valsavla, your ET wouldn't open. It stays closed?
4alien2
It usually turns on when I maneuver 5-6 times. @Supersix
Supersix
Have you tried the Flonase treatment for a couple of months?
4alien2
yes I tried. I feel like there is something wrong with my eustachian muscles. magnesium is the only thing that helps when my ear is clogged @Supersix

I recommend taking Sudafed in the morning for a few days to see if it helps open up your ETD. You never know if it could help.
