...It's the same sound, the same frequency, just louder than it's been in weeks. Really freaking me out. I've heard varying things about ear syringing - I've read disaster stories of tinnitus permanently worsening afterward, and I've read stories where it was bad for a few days or a couple of...

Hi All, 28M. Wish I was glad to be posting here. :( I had syringing followed by microsuction 15 days ago after my left ear was severely impacted by wax. My right ear also was waxy (but not as bad as my left) and was cleaned too. This was done at a reputable ear cleaning clinic and performed by...

I regret ear syringing and microsuction so much. ENT did syringing three times and then microsuction.

Your tinnitus cause: Syringing. So you probably have a very good audiogram?

...the sounds I was hearing were due to the excessive wax and they would go away once it was out (that is what research told me). I had the syringing done by a nurse who has done it dozens of times. Since then, the static noise is getting worse. First I thought I was just paying extra...

Hello, Do you know anything about the odds of syringing ears helping to either fix or subdue tinnitus? My tinnitus primarily came from going to gigs, but is there a chance it could help? As i have heard some say it made theirs worse.

Hi, I'm new here. I've had tinnitus since October after a bad bout of ear syringing. I've been going through this for a few months already and notice some days it's better than others. Looking for some encouragement.

My tinnitus spike caused by syringing and microsuction did not calm down in the end. I cant habituate to this awful roaring tinnitus sound

Olive oil can be used weekly as @2noist says for maintenance, then the earwax should exit the ear by itself. However, syringing or microsuction will be required for the removal of impacted wax. Michael

Syringing AND microsuction?

I know many are a bit apprehensive when it comes to ear syringing but my recent experience was positive. The GP said he'd been doing it for over 30 years and is very gentle. He used lukewarm water and it removed large chunks of wax blocking my ear that was causing deafness and ear pain. It was...

@paganismos reported that her ear-syringing-induced tinnitus is only present when she lies her head on the pillow. → Success Story! One Year and Four Months Later Everything Is Back to Normal This gives me some hope.

...big chunks of wax in there. That night when I went to bed I noticed a high pitched ringing, I thought it would just be sensitive from the syringing, but the next days it only became worse. I would compare the sound with that high pitched noise from an old CRT television. I have been sleeping...

Should I have ear irrigation (syringing) with T and H? I read stories of worsening after it. How to clean earwax safely?

Hey guys, Been a long time since i have posted anything as tinnitus in general is going quite well. Recently my left ear has felt quite blocked up, so I started using earwax removal drops. The next day it was even worse (I think the drops soaked in and may have expanded the wax more) to the...

Syringing has caused tinnitus in many people and made it worse for others. Avoid it in future.

Gonna get earwax removal tomorrow. Scared as crap, as I believe this is what caused my tinnitus (syringing + manual removal).

...it became unbearable and I went to see an ENT who told me that I had massive earwax buildup and this could be the culprit. After some ear syringing, I realize that now I have tinnitus in both ears. Anyone recovered from this? I read another thread where people have either chronic or...

...to say. If it were there, it would have been so quiet that it wouldn’t bother me. I would have said that my quality of life was back to pre-syringing levels - which I count as a win. If someone had asked me four days ago if I had tinnitus, I would have said no. But today - hardcore hissing...

It depends on the situation. If you have earwax impaction, it might not come out of your ear with just olive oil, but might require syringing, microsuction or using the curette. In that case it's best to use olive oil or Debrox before the procedure. But after your ears are clean, olive oil is...

What I was asking was, can olive oil be used to clear earwax WITHOUT requirement of microsuction or syringing? Would the olive oil soften the wax enough to flow naturally out the ear canal of its own accord, albeit obviously taking MUCH longer than microsuction or syringing?

Can someone please explain by what mechanism can ear syringing cause tinnitus? I had loud tinnitus due to earwax blockage which immediately subsided after ear syringing, but this mild tinnitus (a deep low frequency tone) remained. Even that improved over last 2.5 months. Now it is very mild...

Thanks all, I appreciate your replies. I have since spoken to a few people in person / through family members who had tinnitus following syringing / microsuction. Consensus is it can take quite a few months to calm down.

Hi everyone! I’ve only posted on my Introduce Yourself thread up until now. The tinnitus that was exacerbated by the ear syringing I had done on April 14th is still an issue, though it does spike up and then recede to a much lower volume over the course of days and weeks. I’m managing okay and...

...didnt speak about any earwax removing procedures. I read online that earwax build up could cause ringing in the ear. I then learned about syringing earwax. I read that syringing could help and get rid of the ringing in the ear, but it could also make the ringing worse and even permanent. I...

...term. I'm getting craniosacral therapy this Wednesday as well. And that's where I am right now. The ENT doctor explained that due to ear syringing the eardrums can get "bruised" which can cause tinnitus. This can sometimes last from 8-12 weeks apparently. Not sure what the cause is but...

This is my first post after reading several threads regarding ear syringing. I had impacted ear wax that was muffling my hearing in both ears. Without doing much research, I found the first hearing center that was open during COVID-19 which performed ear syringing. I softened both ears with...

...on it. It helped quite a bit with the T caused by the earwax, but it's still audible, but its a higher frequency. Was what they did ear syringing, and will the ringing eventually go away? UPDATE-tinnitus is still audible the next day, but not nearly as bad. Will it go away in the next...

...young. It may frighten her. I would treat it like a sprain. Avoid anything ototoxic (check all medications). I would not do anymore rinses/syringing, etc. Also, I know her tinnitus is not noise induced but it may also be good to avoid loud noises and headphones. Tell her to eat healthy and...

Unlikely to be caused by syringing if you say the ringing started after the ear drops. Hopefully though it will resolve.

...go to the doctor so frequently I bought a syringe and been using that for the last 5 years... All has been good until the last time, while syringing the left ear I got dizzy for 5 seconds and later noticed the tinnitus got worse. I used olive oil for two days before doing the procedure...

...fade again. I think this pattern of the tinnitus quieting down and then getting loud again suggests that whatever damage was caused by the syringing is healing. This might just be the tinnitus I've had for a year now, ever since I got COVID-19 last August. I guess we'll see. But up until a...

...wax build up! The nurse syringed my ear with water for what felt like ages but none of it came out. :( My hearing is now WORSE in that ear and as a result my tinnitus feels louder! My question is has anyone had a permanent spike in tinnitus post syringing? I am freaking out a little... Thanks!

My teenager daughter took Neomycin ear drops after ear syringing two weeks ago. She only did one day of the drops (3 doses, 4 drops each). Now she has a constant ringing in her ears. 24/7. It is hard for her to live with. She has been to ENT. There is no ear drum perforation and was not at...

...ringing in the ear. I went backed to the doctor and got prescribed an ear drop for the ear cause there was some white pus in the ear after syringing, as well as an antibiotic for something about a potential middle ear infection. It's been a week now and my hearing in my left ear has gotten...

...I'm trying to be rational, and telling myself that it must improve. The problem is, that I have now done a lot of reading online about ear syringing/irrigation, and all conversations seem to point to lots of people acquiring tinnitus from irrigation and it not improving. My question is, do...

It could be the ear syringing and not the eye drops, or it could be both. Both can cause tinnitus. Have her stay off forums and wait a few months before thinking it's permanent. If it is, most people do better handling it within a year and there is a device that may work for tinnitus coming out...

Hi all, Although it's not one of the most common causes, it appears as though quite a few people got their tinnitus following syringing or irrigation of the ear with water to remove ear wax. It also appears that a few got it following microsuction to remove earwax, particularly if eardrops...

Sorry your daughter has tinnitus. It is very hard to live with. You could do a search on this forum for “Neomycin”.

...in ny ears. Docs said it'll drain eventually but my ears don't drain well so I imagine I'll need tubes or something eventually. So: Is it likely I've given myself permanent tinnitus from the double ear syringing? Is hydrogen peroxide in the ear for about 20-25 min enough to soften beforehand?

Hey all, This morning I woke up with my left ear clogged up and all the sounds made an echo. I booked ears cleansing appointment and put softening drops in my ear. I just got my ears syringed and I feel way better but there's still a little bit of echo in my left ear. Should this go away with...

I've read a story recently, an olympic athlete would get a syringing done almost every other week since a young age, til she was in her 30s or so, and not a single problem until a nurse did it who was inexperienced, which leads me to believe the danger only comes from a doctor putting too much...

...waiver as much as it did and this could be related to Eustachian tube issues. 1) For people who had their tinnitus start after ear wax syringing, did you then get diagnosed with Eustachian tube problems after? Or does syringing cause a different type of tinnitus problem? It's been almost 3...

...you go, do not let them do any loud hearing tests like tympanometry or acoustic reflex test. Under no circumstances let them do suction or syringing to clean any earwax in your ear. This can completely fuck you up. They will tell you it safe. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. The only safe way to...

...tv - wchich earlier was pretty possible. It was 4 days ago. I noticed my tinnitus spiked at night or probably in the morning next day after syringing. Not sure. Is it even possible it will calm down and go back to its previous pitch or I'm out of luck and there is 0%? I'm not sure if I had...

...get some solid advice. I’ve been suffering with noise induced tinnitus now for two years. It was originally brought on after ear syringing at my Doctors’s surgery and it been getting steadily worse since. It was also made worse by a moronic ENT doctor who decided to microsuction my ear...

...a half-pint of Cherry Garcia before it crept up again, and I'm sure that had something to do with it as well - my tinnitus, even before the syringing, seemed very sugar-sensitive. I'm encouraged by the fact that it can get low occasionally and not stay at the same volume for days. It gives me...

Hi People, I am 24 and new to tinnitus. My tinnitus started in August 2019, not sure how but I believe everything is a result of syringing but doctors don't think so. I was traveling back on a plane after an interview and that’s when my right ear got blocked. I ignored it for 3-4 days but...

I know how concerned you are @Ant315 but try not to worry too much about the tinnitus. Click on the link below and read my post: New to Tinnitus, What to Do? Try to avoid quiet rooms and surroundings, especially at night by using low-level sound enrichment. More about this is covered in my post...

I am deaf in my right ear since birth. I have had a humming tinnitus for a couple of years. I recently had my ears suctioned - the ENT guy was determined to clear out my deaf ear of black compacted wax. The good ear was also suctioned. The next day I still had the humming but the day after it...

...at home doing nothing on a national holiday, I might not have noticed it. Who knows? I'm still hopeful - but I always wonder what damage the syringing did. P.S. I just tried to choose a "mood" for the first time, and there's no "Hopeful" button! It seems like an oversight! Ah well. I am hopeful.

I visited my GP today. She syringed the earwax from my ear which has Tinnitus. My Tinnitus got very loud afterward. Should I take Methylprednisolone as a precaution to soothe my Tinnitus? Any advice?

Hi all, I'm 28M with tinnitus in my right ear after microsuction / syringing 3 weeks ago. Audiogram was normal (0-10 dB) for all frequencies up to 8 kHz, and no anomalies in the noise-in-speech test or tympanometry. Despite these results, I have a perceived loss in my right ear (I can tell my...

I'm looking for some further insight into the pathology behind my specific case of hyperacusis and whether perhaps there's something else going on that could perhaps be treated. So I'm almost five months now into my hyperacusis after being exposed to a severely loud motorbike and have improved...

Hi Brock, sorry to hear about your situation. I'm also someone who recently got tinnitus after syringing. I've been having some back and forth with DominicZ (the person who commented right before me) on his thread. You should check it out. Tinnitus Following Ear Syringing: No Hearing Loss...

I had my ear syringed recently. It got rid of all the wax and luckily it was soft. But ever since (happened a day ago) I have had louder tinnitus. Will it go back down? I don't want a permanent spike from this...
