    Tinnitus for Three Months Now

    It sounded like allergies were the trigger, but you may have had underlying hearing loss before that. Do you have a history of loud music, headphones, loud cars? Any medications? maybe you're problem was an ear infection due to the echoing sound problem in your ear.

    Tinnitus from a Cold?

    Do you guys mind telling me about this situation? I've had T for almost 3 weeks now and I'm not sure if it's from a cold. I do have allergies and sinus problems but they never caused ringing in the ears.

    Benadryl for Allergies — Is It Ototoxic or Safe?

    ...A balloon is inserted into the sinuses, and then expanded, opening the sinus pathways. A friend of mine told me she had miserable allergies all her life until her chiropractor told her about this technique. She did it once, and all her allergies went away. After hearing her story, I...

    Benadryl Reduces My Ear Ringing?

    Yesterday at 4pm I had some minor allergies and took 12.5mg Benadryl. Within one hour I noticed a reduction in my T to a point it can barely be heard. It is 6am now and the T is still very low.

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    Sorry to hear about your breathing issues. I can relate having had asthma and allergies all my life and a COPD diagnosis last year. Symbicort and Spiriva have been extremely helpful for me. Hope you can find something that works for you.

    New to Tinnitus

    ...forum after so much frustration trying to control this thing. It started about 2 months ago after a bad allergy attack. I live in Austin so allergies are super high here. So the tinnitus continued after I felt better. I tried Prednisone-didn't work, and antihistimines-didn't work and made me...

    Anyone's Tinnitus Caused by Allergies? If So, What Medication Have You Tried to Get Relief?

    zpack has some possible ototoxicity. You can find details if you google. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10778901 I don't mean to scare you: it's unlikely this happened to you, but you should be aware of the possibility and talk to your doctors about it. There's a chance it'll go away in...

    Toronto Tinnitus?

    Late August and early September was taking Claritin and Nasonex for seasonal allergies. I take propecia (daily for the last 4 years). Beyond that, nothing else (aside from the 6 days of prednisone after the fullness started late December/ early Jan).

    My Ear Ringing Is Never a Single Tone...

    I don’t know how to explain it, just a loud sounding sensation but not a loud high pitch ring. I did develop allergies when I was younger but wouldn’t the antihistamines have solved this issue??

    Can Antidepressants Cause Hyperacusis?

    No one knows... It is possible something in the Eustachian tube was damaged by very loud noise but to assume this is allergies to entirely TMJ related is problematic.

    Huge Tinnitus Spike After Driving in a Car — Or Could This Be Linked to Hay Fever?

    A lot of spikes from what I read on here start to fade after a while. It could also be that part of the spike is because of the allergies. However, I personally would use foam earplugs for longer drives. Don’t worry about the occlusion effect, at least I notice it way more with other earplugs...

    How Long Is the List I'm On?

    Also, try a sinus rinse for the excess mucus. If it's brought on by allergies than a steroid spray like dymista would help. Breathing in steam is also good for clearing your sinuses and Eustachian tubes. Try adding some menthol as well.

    Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Facial Pain, etc. — Possible Treatment

    I too am very allergic to grass and tree pollens too. At first i thought allergies where the cause, as my T stared continuously somewhere around the time summer started and i was very irritated by my allergies. But i can't link it with the electrical hiss sound, i think it could cause ETD those...

    Hay Fever & Tinnitus

    Yes it can. Pollen can irritate your sinus and ears making extra mucous that causes tinnitus to flair up so antihistamines will help ease the symptoms. As a sever asthmatic I suffer badly with allergies throughout the year....lots of love glynis

    Tinnitus for Almost a Year — Why Does It Keep Getting Worse?

    My ENT, who also has tinnitus, routinely treats allergies and inflammation of the sinus cavity as a potential causal factor of tinnitus. Maybe you should try some steroid spray for your nose. Can’t hurt.

    Should I Go Back to the Doctor?

    Agreed, visit the doctor. If you feel fluid in your ears, there may be fluid in your ears... It could be related to allergies, inflammation of/around the Eustachian tubes can cause both a middle ear fluid buildup and tinnitus. (I'm not a doctor, though!)

    My Journey to Silence

    @Agrajag364 Dental work definitely was the starter for me, plus horrible allergies and maybe an acoustic trauma. Look at all avenues. I believe my tinnitus was caused by multiple factors, like a glass that eventually overflowed and the T settled in. Good luck!

    Took Prednisolone 80 mg — I Want It Out of My Body

    Pred can induce anxiety, try to calm down. If this med bothers you don't take it. I always have allergies and at one point dr told me to take pred. I refused because, I know pred can induce anxiety and I didn't want any part of it.

    Anti histamine will reduce the inflammation in your sinussen, which means less fluid , and therefore less pressure on the nerves. Whether it will help you or not depends on the cuase of your T. PT might be cuased by allergies/overactive imuunsyteem.

    My Ear Has Suddenly Got So Loud

    You should go to the doctor. When I had a bad spike and was panicking that's what I did. And to my relief, the doc saw my ears were filled with fluid due to allergies. After a few days my symptoms got better.
