    My Tinnitus Is Gone!

    Hi! So happy yours went away @pewpew. I'm on about day 8 of my tinnitus increasingly quieting. I had it for about 2 months and then I started a nasal spray for ETD and sinusitis. It has mostly cleared up now and my tinnitus is about a 1.5/10. It barely bothers me, even in quiet rooms. Every...

    Tinnitus from Pantoprazole or Reflux Getting into My Sinuses / Eustachian Tubes?

    @Deniseh, Mine sounds kind of like a high pitched hissing... when it gets loud it turns in to a ring. I can also "feel" it in my ears a bit..that's often how I rate how loud it is...when I can't feel it, it's really quiet. Honestly I can tolerate it pretty well when my sinuses are clearish -...

    Tinnitus from Pantoprazole or Reflux Getting into My Sinuses / Eustachian Tubes?

    @Deniseh Oh my wedding was good and the flight was OK. The steroid spray really helped and I used a decongestant and some earplanes :) ETD seemed to have been improving but it's getting worse again - I am getting more and more congested since I ran out of nasal spray. I have good and bad days...

    Unexpected Relief from Tinnitus by Cutting Gluten and Specific Food Additives

    Out Thanks. Yeah I've gotta keep going back weekly for a month and then they will test my levels again after that. I am going to get them to also test my magnesium and other vitamin levels. I suspect with the celiac I may be deficient in other things as well. What makes me think it could be...

    Just reading this thread and I found it interesting. I have no idea what caused my tinnitus, just that it started around the same time as some digestive issues..mainly acid reflux, and I also was having sinus congestion. My ent thought the reflux was getting into my sinuses and causing...

    Unknown Cause of Tinnitus, Lasted Now About a Month

    @monkey124 Try and stay positive. I've had tinnitus for 6 weeks now. I had really blocked ears too. Your ears just take a while to heal. I am still dealing with eustachian tube disfunction and sinus congestion, but its slowly getting better. Slowly . I dont really count progress in days, more...

    Vitamin B12 & Ferritin Levels: Impact on Tinnitus?

    Hi All. Just lurking on some threads about b12 deficiency, and I thought I'd share my story. I've had a WEIRD experience with tinnitus. I developed acid reflux at the beginning of December with some digestion issues and shortly after that developed Tinnitus, sinus congestion, and ETD. Saw an...

    Low Vitamin Levels — A Connection to Tinnitus?

    @Jaysterk B12 would be a good one probably. I have vitamin b12 deficiency that I know of and probably a couple other deficiencies given that I just tested positive for celiac disease. Not quite sure if b12 deficiency is the cause of my tinnitus or not though...

    Scored 100% on My Hearing Tests — Still Have Ringing (and Lots of Questions)

    @Deniseh An update on my situation. Went for some blood work and turns out I tested positive for celiac. My GP ran the test on a hunch. I had had some digestive issues for a a couple months but just attributed that to the acid reflux... little did I know acid reflux is a symptom of celiac! I...

    Scored 100% on My Hearing Tests — Still Have Ringing (and Lots of Questions)

    @Deniseh Yes my ETs get blocked and I get the aural fullness. I actually find that more annoying than the tinnitus at times! The severity of that comes and goes. My GP is referring me to a gastroenterologist as well as I seem to have GERD along with the LPR. My stomach burns pretty often...

    Scored 100% on My Hearing Tests — Still Have Ringing (and Lots of Questions)

    @Deniseh, I was diagnosed at the beginning of my December with LPR. The tinnitus came about 4 weeks after. I was about 2 weeks in when I started pantoprazole. I tried it for a couple weeks but I didn't like the way I felt and also didnt notice that it was doing anything at all and I also...

    Scored 100% on My Hearing Tests — Still Have Ringing (and Lots of Questions)

    Hi Dee, I feel like I have pretty similar symptoms to yours, though mine are in both ears. My hearing test was also normal. I had some inflammation of my sinuses and my eustachian tubes are inflammed as well and dysfunctioning a bit. I had some other symptoms resembling silent reflux and the...

    Shower Causing a Temporary Tinnitus Spike?

    I get temporary spikes after showers. They aren't too bad and last 5-10 minutes. I also get them after a hot bath. The sound of the shower doesn't seem overly loud to me either, so I'm not sure what's causing it. I also have ETD.

    Tinnitus from Pantoprazole or Reflux Getting into My Sinuses / Eustachian Tubes?

    Hi all, I'm new here. I've had tinnitus for a little over 2 weeks. Trying to stay positive, but it's hard. About a month and a half ago I developed severe reflux. It felt like every time I ate the food would come right back up! Tons of mucus as well in my throat and sinus headaches. About a...
