    Earwax Is Seriously Giving Me Problems

    Be very, very careful about syringing your own ears. Several people on this forum got their tinnitus, or made their exisiing T worse, with syringing. Actually, sticking anything small deep inside your ear canal (including a Q tip) can lead to damage or an ear drum perforation. Doctors will tell...

    What Will an ENT Look for in a Tinnitus Patient? What Type of Earwax Removal to Ask for?

    You might be offered microsuction or syringing. You can use those keywords to search this forum, to see that those procedures have the potential to cause permanent tinnitus spikes (louder and more intrusive tinnitus). It is a good idea to insist that manual tools be used.

    Is This Temporary or Permanent?

    I am back from the doctors! I can hear EVERYTHING now, the ringing is gone!!! she told me the ringing could still be there for 24 hours because of the syringing but so far there is no ringing (keeping fingers crossed) My ears do hurt though from loud sounds.

    Earwax Removal (Syringing)

    I guess the syringing was just the last push giving me T. I just had too much noise in my life. (loud music on headphones, metal detecting beeps on headphones, going out in clubs) I also had a disco/club T for one week when I was younger.

    Earwax Removal (Syringing)

    "Ear syringing" is a blind procedure; I doubt it makes much difference to the outcome whether it is carried out by a nurse or a doctor. Other than that, I would agree entirely.

    Prednisone Four Days Later...

    Thank you for answering @attheedgeofscience ! I said the same thing... That it was ear syringing but he didn't thought of it so... Do you think prednisone might help? Both of my ears are a bit swollen and apparently had no signs of infection. I'm hoping it goes away soon

    Post 1st ENT Appointment — Intermittent Dizziness After Having Ears Cleaned — Is This Normal?

    ...people with tinnitus, it can be quite loud. The ENT I see now used a hand tool to clear earwax out and told me he doesn't like suction or syringing in general, and won't perform it on people with hearing loss, tinnitus or noise tolerance problems. I had a syringing once that was pretty loud...

    Tinnitus Caused by an ENT Specialist

    I've had my ears syringed many times. As far as i know, warm water is blasted into the ear, but no suction is used. The wax comes out by the water agatating it. The nurse always warns me the procedure can purferate the eardrum. So syringing can certainly cause tinnitus.

    How Old Were You When Your Tinnitus Started?

    24. I never imagined ear syringing could cause tinnitus. Aah, three years soon with tinnitus and I'm proven wrong. I never listened to music at loud volumes either, at gigs and concerts wore very good ear protection and I haven't been exposed to ototoxic meds, so. Sometimes it's just bad luck.

    Got Fluid in the Ear AGAIN, High-Pitched, Loud Hiss Is Back

    Could just be the wax, around December my ear was really blocked with wax and the tinnitus was way louder. I think i need to use some drops again because it feels like its starting to block up again. You are brave to have ear syringing though, please be careful with that.

    Questions About Earwax

It uses an electronic ear irrigation machine to remove ear wax. The machine contains a storage reservoir unit for water and a hand-held nozzle which...

    Can JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Speaker Worsen Tinnitus?

    Tinnitus can be caused by ear syringing but I suspect headphones had a part to play in it too, as I sense prior to the onset of the tinnitus you regularly used headphones and probably for long durations and at too high a volume. Please understand I am not blaming you because this is something a...

    The Dangers of Microsuction

    So what is the best method to prevent wax from building up or to get it out? I’m so reluctant to get syringing or microsuction again, yet I tend to get cerumen build up quite quickly. Using ear plugs worsens it as they push it back down the ear canal, eventually leading to an impacted plug.

    How Do You Guys Keep Your Ears Clean? Hate Having Mine Syringed

    ...problem with this but wondering if you've tried warm olive oil in the ear canal? The itch could be excess wax but could also be an infection i.e. fungal. Can you have your doctor check your ears? I'd avoid q-tips as this will push the wax in even further. I would avoid syringing at all costs.

The best thing to do is just stay calm and hopefully...

    Tinnitus Temporary?

    From what I am reading, no one really knows the answer. It may go or it may not, time will tell. I wish I could tell you for sure it will go away since mine is similar to yours but my infection was caused by earwax impaction that resulted in T. Maybe the syringing made it worst too.
