Hi everyone, I am so scared. My tinnitus, along with pulsatile tinnitus, began about 6 weeks ago after suffering from really bad allergies. Ever since my ears have been ringing, and I have pulsatile tinnitus when the ambient surrounding is super quiet. My ears constantly feel like they have...

...experience. Several potential causes: 1. Lexapro/Bupropion started to use in last month. Could be the meds, or Bruxism side effects. 2. Allergies/Sinuses acting up. Urgent care is under the impression that the teeth clenching/night grinding is causing TMJ and that is the source of the...

I have allergies. Today I was around a lot of dust for a long time. Now my tinnitus is like a 20/10. It has never been this loud. It is completely out of control. Can allergies really have that much affect on tinnitus? I'm taking medication for my allergies. Or maybe it has nothing to do...

...beyond high-frequency hearing loss (above 8 kHz). I have severe TMJ, significant upper cervical and neck issues, and a long history of allergies, sinus problems, and viral infections. I do not have a history of anxiety or depression, though I know some ENTs often attribute symptoms to these...

...visual system and central nervous system rather than the auditory system, but while looking for a new antihistamine to try for my seasonal allergies, I came across Clemastine being studied for the same purpose. We just need to glue our Ebselen and Clemastine pills together, and problem solved! 🤔

...a couple months ago when I thought my tinnitus was caused from Eustachian tube dysfunction. Turns out, the doctor seemed to feel it was allergies causing my symptoms. I've never had allergies... Or so I thought. Took an allergy test.... Turns out I'm highly allergic to the usual suspects...

...on the inside. They also started cracking wayyyyy more than they have been. Does anyone else experience an increase in T and H from allergies? My previous post was moved to the H discussion thread where literally nothing ever gets answered. I'd love to get some insight on this. Thanks -Steve

I wonder if my allergies have any thing to do with my T! ENT found NO allergies! But I do have it I have nasal pressure! Runny nose dry eyes and pressure mucus throat bad dr! I take musinex to calm all the symptoms ,but wears off after 6 hours and I'm back to Pressure in my face

I've been having some mild allergies from my daily walk that is by a huge park. When I get home the roof of my mouth always itches from the allergies. One really odd thing I've really noticed is when I itch the roof of my mouth with my tongue my tinnitus goes all crazy while I'm doing that...

As the title says, can tinnitus be caused by allergies? I know that I can be sensitive to pollen and right now my tinnitus is louder than usual and my ears are itchy, can allergies be the problem?

Zyrtec seems to be the most common for allergies and i really need some relief for my pollen allergies right now. I can’t find anything about tinnitus on the side effects in the package, but when I Google Zyrtec and tinnitus it says that it is ototoxic and this not recommended. What to do?

Hi. My name is Kristen. I have been dealing with tinnitus since July 2022. It came on due to a sneeze. I have severe allergies, Eustachian tube dysfunction, sinusitis, and TMJ. Since July it has gotten a little bit quieter but it’s still bothersome. Is there hope that it will go away or...

Is butterbur safe to take in terms of tinnitus? I was wondering trying this to help with my allergies but not sure if someone has had a bad reaction to it. Also, my current med regimen is Zoloft, Valium and Lyrica so I wonder if it would have some kind of interaction. The butterbur I bought...

...sensation in my left ear whenever I tilted it. I saw the doc and after doing some research suggested to her that it could be caused by my allergies. I live in Los Angeles and experience pretty regular allergy attacks and know that there are several things i'm allergic to ( I also never take...

Can a cold or allergies exacerbate pulsatile tinnitus?

Today was the 4th time that I’ve visited my ENT because I’ve been getting spikes in my tinnitus, and also fullness/pain. He keeps telling me everything is due to my allergies and my ETD. Does anyone else have this issue?

as you guys know ive been with T since January we know for a fact that is my allergies causing this and i want to see a specialist so i can start on allergies shots ASAP so i finely got a appointment for today near my house and i went down there i was late 10 minute because i...

My allergies are so crappy this time of year. Is Benadryl ototoxic? Or safe to take? Any alternatives? Thanks!

...the pollen is high. But the ringing is in my good ear as well. I had to take some Augmentin a few weeks back for pneumonia but since it is 87% amoxicillin all the resources pointed to it being safe. I’m just struggling like everyone else and wonder if my allergies are causing this flare...

I used Azelastine HCl for the first time today. It helped to alleviate my allergies and lowered my tinnitus.

If you suffer from allergies and it makes your ringing/hissing louder, I suggest trying Azelastine Nasal spray. It helped lower my T.

...loud. I also have what I think is noise sensitivity or at least a few sounds are a little louder than I remembered. I got my ears checked and turns out, allergies made my eardrums retract. Could these be symptoms of that? I should note that I don’t feel pain or discomfort around everyday...

Does anyone else experience an increase in Hyperacusis due to pollen and allergies? Last summer was my first real summer with T and H, and it royally sucked but I made it through. Once it got to be November or so, my H/Ear Pain went away at least 80%, but the last month my H has been steadily...

...loss. It did not seem to drift over to the good ear like the tinnitus and hyperacusis did. It certainly could be that. Or it could be allergies, stress, or wearing defenders for too long, which can cause discomfort. As with all of this ear stuff, it probably just needs a month or two to...

I got my T in June, actually just around summer solstice, I have bad allergies, but also had to take paxil for 6 months due to bad anxiety developed from a bad car accident I was in. My family doctor does not think it's permanent he did see big build up of fluid in my ears. The Crackle all the...

I have a cold or bad allergies with an itchy throat, sneezing and now my right ear is extremely clogged and I cannot get it to 'pop'. Luckily, so far my tinnitus doesn't seem to be increased because of it but it feel all out of balance and out of it because it's pressurized. Any suggestions...

...if I might have chronic sinusitis. I have a lot of breathing issues, and my TMJ specialist told me he could tell from my posture that I mouth breathe. I also suspect I might have allergies. Right now, I have sinusitis with associated headaches, and my tinnitus has been extremely loud today.

...and posting on behalf of my sister who is too distressed to come on such a forum at this moment. This is not about me but I have chronic allergies and have had ENT issues all my life. I had three surgeries which effectively ruined my life. I am in a poor state of health and now my sister...

...first time poster. I'm a 31M living in the Northeastern United States. Around mid-August I had what I thought was really bad seasonal allergies that I tend to get every year. I was sneezing a lot (many times an hour for the whole day) and had a runny nose for about a week or so. During this...

...has been more muffled and hearing has been worse in my left (bad) ear. I'm getting nervous. What if it's SSHL? I don't usually have allergies and I can breathe fine. I do have an old course of Prednisone but I think I should wait until a doctor can determine fluid in the ear or not...

Hi all, Looking for some advice as I’m sure this ringing in my left ear is caused by allergies/congestion. It initially started about 6 weeks ago when grass pollen levels were wiping everyone out. I’ve been spending a lot of time swimming as it’s been unusually hot in the UK. I went to...

Dealt with T fine for 25+ years, but of late perfume and other allergies are making my ringing go through the roof. At work I have neighbors with strong perfume or cleaning products at their desk that drives me crazy. At home I cleaned a shower with Clorox a couple of months ago, and ever...

...ended up testing negative for all diseases) my tinnitus started, along with what seems to be mild hyperacusis. But might it be a result of allergies and anxiety? The Doxycycline doses were spaced two days apart (I threw up about half of the first dose after feeling nauseated and having...

Hello to everyone.. I'm just sitting here waiting to get sleepy enough to go and "face the music" in a few minutes when I go to bed. Ears are ringing to high hell right now. I just had a thought and wanted to get others idea or maybe find out if someone experienced something similar. I'm...

...I had my ears cleaned but the tinnitus continued. I did a test with the audiologist, who noted mild hearing loss but actually pointed to allergies, stress and TMD as possible causes. My doctor later said that mild hearing loss explained my tinnitus, which kind of seemed to contradict what the...

...types. -> I worked on keeping my stress levels low. Overall, what helped me the most was probably the allergy medication. I feel like my tinnitus flares up whenever my allergies flare up. Managing my anxiety also made a big difference. Have a great day, and I hope this helps some of you.

Does anyone know if you have major problems with allergies can tinnitus be caused by that or sinus infections? I have been to several doctors. They day my allergies are pretty bad. They recommend me to go to an ent and allergist. Please let me know what you guys think?

...mild, noticeable and it never stops. I take Clonazepam to help with anxiety. I don’t know how my tinnitus was triggered, it may be due to allergies. Does anyone have tinnitus because of allergies and if so, what medication has been helpful? I’m going to a concert soon so I bought some...

I'm not sure that I have found any yet, but it is certainly making me consider my diet's effect on this a little more, and consider whether my focus on self-care should be on modifying my daily spikes rather than my very significant baseline. Check out the below thread for more information...

It's been more than 5 years. I'm still going strong. Life is good, apart from allergies. I wish everyone the best.

...really go into detail. I've been reading up on this online and it says that the ringing could be caused by swollen Eustachian tubes due to allergies (which ENT #2 said I had very bad) and could be made worse by a plane ride if they were bad. Any advice on anything? I am seeing an allergist...

...It's been a very strange journey, considering this was all new to me a few months ago: the only possible lead I have is that it could be allergies, due to the fact I have a history of light hay fever and eczema, both of which slightly flared up back in February (I'm also originally from the...

That's what I'm wondering. I tried nasal strips, but they didn't work. I'm definitely snoring from the nostrils. It could be because of sinus allergies.

...everything looks good to them. What I didn't think to do, and what nobody ever recommended, was to go see an allergist. I didn't consider allergies because ETD is not a typical allergy symptom like runny nose and sneezing. I've had some experience with allergies before. About 10 years...

I've had tinnitus for about a week and a half and after squirting some Flonase my tinnitus is almost completely gone. Is it safe to assume it's from allergies then?

If I laugh pretty hard occasionally my right ear will make a weird noise or something. AND IT SCARES me everytime. I think allergies.

...for years, it's never been much of an issue. But this spring it got considerably worse in the spring. I have a lot of pretty severe allergies, both indoor (dust, mold, etc.) and outdoor (all kinds of pollens, etc.) My left ear has a high pitched ringing, It also crackles occasionally. I...

...appointment, and I am far from an expert on these matters, as I am relatively new to all of this myself. My best guess is that it is some combination of allergies, TTTS, and/or Eustachian tube issues. The fluid sensation seems to be a rare symptom, as I have not found many people talking...

Zyrtec and the likes = zero negative effects. I used Cetirizine myself for probably 25 years for allergies. It's not ototoxic in any way.

...I've had T for almost 10 weeks now... I went to the doctor today and she found I have an ear infection, fluid in one of my ears, bad allergies and rhinitis... She put me on Claritin, Flonase and amoxicillin for the infection... Ever since I got T I've been to many doctors and once...
