Who said anything about ear syringing!? If the doctor didn't see any wax in the ears, then there's no need/point @nicole m we can't tell you what to/what not to do but if you can "feel/sense" congestion, then the nasal spray is a good idea (take as directed) as it will unblock the nasal/air...

I used olive oil drops every day for 2 weeks prior. That’s not the problem here. For someone who is constantly warning of the dangers of headphone usage, surely you must be able to see that a noisy suction machine inserted right into the ear canal may be a bigger risk to noise induced tinnitus...

...(the one that only received one squirt of water.) It is still a lot louder than my old baseline, which was so faint I barely ever noticed it, but I am grateful for the decrease and hopeful that it will continue to fade, as right now my ear is still recovering from the syringing/I am mildly sick.

...I said beforehand that I think I have ASD, TTTS and hyperacusis. Why did she sell me those Zen ear pieces. Why did they perform unadjusted syringing on my ears instead of another method. Why didn't my dentist not caution me about the TMD risks associated with a lower implant. Why didn't my...

Thanks. I am in a place where I will deal with the tinnitus. But the flutter is annoying and causing me great stress. Are you sure it’s your eardrum? Usually it’s the Stapedius or the Tensor Tympani muscle.

...habituation or hopefully that the t resolves. I have some hearing loss in the high frequencies, and gained the t from ear trauma , painful syringing. I’m better able to cope now, but it can be trying when the t is spiking, like it is now. I also have times where the t seems to have gone...

Thanks guys, looks like I'll cancel my syringing appointment. Definitely don't want this to get any worse. I'll see if I can look at it getting manually done. Trying to tell myself that this will just be a temporary thing but at the moment it's pretty difficult to stay positive... EDIT: Do you...

...the easiest way. The flight is going to be around 2-2.5 hours, from Sydney, Australia to Adelaide, Australia. I haven't flown since an ear-syringing I experienced just two months ago that significantly increased my tinnitus (and made it start fluctuating) and gave my mild-moderate...

...far, the doctors have mentioned these that might be factors: - Viral infection (I've just had glandular fever) - Small ear canals - Ear syringing, so damage to hair cells in ear (I've had them done every yr for 4 years!) - Jaw clenching/teeth grinding could be a reason for one side being...

...The only thing that comes to mind is that you have wax buildup in your ears. Some people's tinnitus goes away several weeks after cleaning their ears. If you do that, make sure they use manual tools (as some people get tinnitus after having microsuction/syringing used on them to clean the wax).

...he knows truckers with low and high freq loss with knotches everywhere. But then I went back to the doctor and he demanded doing ear syringing before doing prednisone and an mri. this is kind of scary. i've been doing everything to make my ears better. all the supplements i've tried, not...

@grotulon Ear irrigation is not exactly the same as ear syringing of old where water was administered into the ear under pressure. As I have advised you before. Providing you use eardrops 3x day for 7 to 10 days then have your ears irrigated I don't believe you'll have any problems. I've had...

...look into it. If you plan to get a clean up, do not touch your ears with Q-TIPS and also do not let them handle your ears with microsuction or syringing. Try to go for a manual clean up. But whoever you go to will determine if the issue is actually wax and be able to see if there is a wax...

...are some people, including myself, who chronically build wax too deep in the ear to clean it out on your own. Also, you can do some damage syringing your own ears, as @Markku points out. And Q-Tips never are a good idea. They just impact the wax. Will say, though, that more ENTs are...

Should i try am101 with tinnitus from ear syringing/middle ear infection/ototoxic antibiotic? I dont want to get into trials if there is 0 reason to do that as ear puncturing is pretty invasive but if its reasonable i would consider it. What would you do with your knowledge and with my case?

...removed the wax manually because it wasn't that much that had built up. Maybe yours can be removed manually too ... if not (and irrigation/syringing needs to be done), you should probably use the oil for some more days. I read on here that you should use the oil multiple days before the...

...your hearing now to go up a level ,end up with more trouble,than you have now going on.Dont do anything to your ears ,even down to the syringing them out. Hope yours is just a one of those things,and it will just go on it's own.Staying away from loud music might help to .and avoid getting...

...been hard. I tend to leave this forum in an effort to help, and return only when I really suffer again. So far, it's no louder but still as noticeable. I seem to have alot of wax in my ears atm which I know can make it worse, but then so can syringing, so I plan to leave that to a 12 monthly...

...described there, I think I have the somatic component. But as erik said, it's very common. My tinnitus was somehow caused by ear syringing and I find it hard to believe that it's only related to muscles... I don't know if relaxing the muscles, massaging, acupuncture or something could...

...completely if wax is the cause. 2.) if you are from U.K. have a look at Specsavers - they say on their website that they do not use syringing or irrigation due to risks of tinnitus. They will be only doing microsuction or manual removal. You’ll get different verdicts on this, but...

...tinnitus and if it's not noise induced, then probably an underlying medical problem is responsible or even stress. Microsuction or ear syringing can also cause it. Some people have developed tinnitus after having microsuction or syringing. For this reason it's important to apply...

...Tinnitus/H it can permanently worsen. Other tests that can worsen T permanently include: 1) Typanometry 2) Caloric Air Test (Water/Air) Calorics, Syringing. Air Caloric is dangerous and very loud. 3) Micro suction- 4) MRI (Need to wear very good protection, I did an MRI and nothing happened)

@fishbone Sugar also does the same with me. When I first got T from ear syringing it was very loud. At year 3.5 years blood work showed that I had no sodium because I was avoiding it like the plague. So I started to eat potato chips, drank more juice, got more sunlight to increase vitamin D...

Oh how I wish I can have Mild T again, anyways your T might subside because of the impacted earwax, however I really cringe at ear syringing. I did ear syringing/vemp test which worsened my T permanently, it shot up from mild to severe and it stayed there, it has been 7 months or so. Mine was...

...with your postings. Advice would be to check in with your doctor if and when needed. Do you have monitoring appointments scheduled? Syringing effects should settle down as most likely it just spiked your initial onset of tinnitus from hitting your head. Continue to be careful with extreme...

Hello everyone, It's been 9 days already since the onset of my tinnitus. It started after an ear syringing procedure because I had impactead ear wax in my right ear and I've never had it done before, so I said "Hey, let's go to an ENT and get this over with, he'll know what to do" lmfao... Nine...

...drum. ( i used cotton buds to push the wax to my ear drums). He told me to use oil to soften the wax and couple days later the nurse tried syringing but it did not work as the wax was still too hard. I applied olive oil for a week and went back to get my ear syringed again. Finally after the...

I developed T - hearing loss from syringing from ear noise years ago. Then a few years ago I developed somatic T - physical injuries. I also now have PT - a rumble booming noise along with another sound like a generator or motor running in the background. Sometimes when in bed, I can slightly...

...neck twisted or bend while getting ears cleaned can even cause somatic tinnitus. If I only knew this which caused my first tinnitus along with the noise factor - syringing - and my second tinnitus years later from bending neck during dental procedure along with pressure being placed on jaw.

...the ear problems were contributors...it's often the perfect storm that causes T. There have been people on here for whom T started with syringing... However, you will adapt to the ringing at night eventually and sound machines are very helpful in the beginning. If your ringing is milder...

Yes - in rare cases. If you decide to do something about the wax, make sure to not agree to a doctor using microsuction or syringing. The doctor should be able to get most of the wax out using manual tools. You will want to use special drops for at least a week to soften the wax. They can't...

...He said my right ear was completely impacted by wax, my left almost as bad. He prescribed some drops, with a view to softening the wax for syringing. "Good" I think. At least I know what's wrong, and it will get sorted soon. But the chemist didn't have the drops he prescribed. Instead...

A little more than 6 weeks, yes. Syringing right ear made it much worse and driving car yesterday for 5 hours have made it much worse in both ears. Not talking or testing the T but not thinking about it is impossibe since it is getting worse pretty much every week. Id chop my legs of just to get...

I did the same within the first few weeks of t. Waxsol seemed to make it sting around the ear drum. When I finally saw the doc again for syringing he said it looked a little red. Sadly it didn't end my t like he suggested and a week later with no change he confirmed loud noise t damage and...

I've endured a journey through hell since making the above post. Although I'm not fully healed, I can confidently say that I'm no longer plagued by suicidal thoughts or confined to my restroom. I'm gradually reintegrating myself into the world, stepping out once more. The intensity of the tones...

Also might be best to not have ear irrigation/syringing again as that can cause tinnitus for some people. If you have earwax issues then sticking a couple of drops of olive oil in your ear and letting it soak in every week or three will keep the wax moving so it doesn't clog up. Try not to...

...with having pressure placed to my jaw when having an implant placed. I also have hearing loss from a previous onset of tinnitus from ear syringing. Soft pink music of rainfall or a running brook cured my H. I keep the speakers 10 feet away - both day and night. I now use iron, chelate...

...nothing to due with lack of sleep. Its very unlikely that you caused any permanent damage from it. But in the future you should avoid using syringing and flushing to clean out your ear wax. The worst is when suction is used, that should NEVER be done. Once again, have it done by an ENT...

...beeps of my metal detector with ear buds in, it had no volume control. I had a two cases of H too when I was younger, maybe beacause of stress. As kid had a some concussions. (falling of the stairs). So overuse of headphones, me being a stressfull hypersensitive already, concussions and...

I think frequent use of headphones while making music, metal detecting and playing games on my pc gave me T and H. Wrong syringing of my left ear was the last push over the edge. H. became much worse 1 week after I tapered from ativan (lorazepam), which I took to handle the T. stress. Started...

...up.) ENT: (Reaches into a drawer and pulls out a syringe) Surely you'll at least let me worsen your tinnitus with the classic water syringing? Patient: (Walks towards the door.) ENT: Leaving so soon? One last thing I should point out: when your tinnitus worsens after all the above...

...Doc prescribed anti depressants which I cant see the point in taking? Also not sure which route to take for the ear cleaning - either syringing with warm water by the doctor or hoovering by the ent - both of which I find pretty traumatic....had it hoovered once by the ent and he was really...

...it manually with a tiny forceps device - perhaps because the noise the suction device made indeed was dangerous. The only time water has been used on me was once when the wax was impacted, and I never let it get to that point any more. From what I understand, syringing pretty much is a bad idea.

...patient and probably not being successful. I've had my ears cleaned three ways by doctors & nurses over the years, and I am in the UK. Syringing/irrigation I strongly advise against - it has caused me problems, as well as many other people (the founder of this forum got his tinnitus this way...

...their tinnitus) with their medieval procedures and unsafe practices and medicines. This is not a joke. The list includes microsuction, syringing, audiograms, acoustic reflex tests, various antidepressants, antibiotics, and other medications. They will deny it all. It is easy for them to. You...

...I've had my ears syringed lots of times in the past with no problems at all but tried the microsuction as I'd read GPs no longer do syringing. While the procedure was taking place I noticed my ear blocked up, I told the person doing it but she carried on. She got a couple of pieces of...

Not sure myself, but maybe because most have mild or occasional tinnitus. After my first onset of tinnitus & hyperacusis from ear syringing, I continued working for about 10 days until the truth of denial told me that I couldn't be in a loud place anymore. During those last days of employment...

...increase. This over time, can cause inflammation and damage. There may be one remaining option you could explore: if you did not have ear syringing done when the ear wax was removed, it could be worthwhile having that done (also); sometimes there are bits and pieces of ear wax which the ENT...

You were showing disrespect and have now redeemed yourself. I am sorry to hear of your discomfort and hope things improve for you in the future. I wish you well. Michael

GBB, I'm trying to gather info from people who got tinnitus after wax removal (mines was from syringing). I noticed from this study that there might be a high recovery rate even though it can it a long time...

...(just a few). My T dropped from moderate to mild and I had an audiogram done (it was completely normal-in fact perfect). When I did ear syringing (caloric test) and the vemp test (1oo decibels) back in January, Tinnitus increased from mild to extreme and then dropped to severe. After that I...

...it was fine and both ENTs said it wasn't a big deal. There's a lot more nuance to the story. I made a post about it here (full story is towards the end): https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/ringing-ears-after-ear-wax-removal-syringing-%E2%80%94-do-i-have-eustachian-tube-dysfunction-now.42245/

...tinnitus. As tinnitus is considered a VATA aggravation. Anyway, I've been recommended to go for an MRI scan by the ENT guy who did the ear syringing. I've been putting it off as I don't fancy the magnet idea and how it could affect my health in general. I don't tend to trust a lot of the...
