@Lilah I wouldn't say it gets objectively louder, but obviously without any other distractions it becomes much more difficult to ignore. The sound of my breathing isn't loud enough to mask the tinnitus, and I'd definitely recommend using some masking sounds (although not so loud that you can't...

For me, meditation has been the thing that has made the most difference to my tinnitus. After two and a half years of having the ringing, and gradually but surely developing more and more anxiety over it, I decided to give meditation a go. I was pretty doubtful that I'd get any benefit from it -...

@PassingThru Thanks for your post, it's really appreciated. My ENT advised me to take Avamys for 6 weeks originally and I have used it again for short periods of time with success. However, the T always comes back quickly after finishing and I'm worried that using nose sprays long term is not a...

@slipware I don't know if there is any long-term improvement, my T varies so often it is hard to tell if it is helping... but I am keeping with it anyway because I suspect it may be doing some good :)

Hi, About a year ago I had an ear infection. Towards the end of the infection I started hearing a ringing noise and during the next week, as my hearing returned to normal, the ringing got worse and worse. My ENT took a look inside my nose with a camera and identified that my right tube was...

Update: turns out it didn't entirely solve the problem. Seems that my tubes became swollen again after I stopped using the spray. I find a combination of decongestants and restarting the nose spray really helps but the tinnitus ends up returning again quite quickly soon after I stop. After a few...

I used one called Otrivine Adult Nasal Spray for a week and another called Avamys Nasal Spray suspension for 6 weeks.

I had a really bad cold and blocked ears in September last year, antibiotics helped the blocked ears to finally clear but as my hearing returned to normal I could hear a high pitched ringing sound. Having been worried there was nothing that could be done about it, I went to an ENT doctor and he...
