...can not hear a thing and my t is absolutely unbearable! I don't know what to do! I have read so many people on here got there T from ear syringing or suctioning or it made there existing t worse! I think I'm going to try som olive oil drops, but I seriously doubt it will help get this lot...

Thank you everyone. The consensus appears to be manual removal (as opposed to syringing or microsuction), possibly with eardrops before it. I'll also use eardrops in the future as a preventive measure - I use earplugs frequently so the wax will return. I saw olive oil mentioned many times on...

Not loud at all. If I had to grade it I would say 60dB. It's a lot quieter today but I still want to make sure it didn't cause permanent damage. I'm not getting syringed again. I'm still working on reducing the tinnitus.

Leave it till then, or try to get an earlier appointment with another ENT. Probably best not to self-irrigate. By the way, I wouldn't let the ENT do microsuction or syringing. Manual removal isn't without risks, but it seems to be the safer option.

Hang in there DPDX! I know its hard!

Spot on Red. Its a risk!

...earwax removed manually before at my clinic. I told my doc not to do syringe because it is veryyyy badd. Now the caloric test is like ear syringing and I have done that to test why I have been getting dizzy. It turned out it was due to high blood pressure. Before Caloric Test I had: MILD T...

That's completely different. The "earwax softening stuff" normally gets washed out during syringing or a normal shower. With an intratympanic injection, you have a hole in your eardrum, and to my understanding, you need to avoid any liquid going into the middle ear until the eardrum heals.

...Maybe the brain's gain mechanism is effected by in a way that is completely not understood or maybe something is missing. I am genuinely confused. There's many cases where people damage there hearing from syringing and say ear wax moval caused tinnitus ignorantly, but here is a weird case.

No my Tinnitus may of been caused by impacted in and my brain is so used to the ringing thinking about it sets it off again

How did you knock it down from the 10/10?

...spikes occur very rarely. I made an appointment to get my ears cleaned but because I took seroquel at 6 AM, I overslept and missed the appointment. The nurse told me to use softening drops in my ears, are they safe? Also I'm a bit worried about syringing... Thank you Markku for being so...

putting pressure in ear with water..why are they continuing with these methods , it really baffle me

u must of had another reason - meds, stress, noise exposure, ear syringing, barotrauma,whiplash, head trauma, tmj, reading about T, chemical exposure, mercury fillings, high blood pressure, alcoholism, excessive masturbation, panic/gad disorder, thyroid dysfunction, kidney problems, AIDS...

...you're saying, as i have to get my ears cleaned out of wax every 2 ears or so because i have narrow ears.. Which method do you use? Water syringing? I'm just wondering because that's what i used to get done when i was younger but the last time i was at specialist who introduced me to ear...

...don't think the modern ear irrigation had come into use then.Because I had severe tinnitus my doctor would not let the surgery nurse do the syringing. The doctor advised me to use eardrops for 7 days. Before she started the syringing she advised me what might happen afterwards. Not to get up...

It's very simple. NEVER put a Q-tip in your ear EVER again. And do NOT syringe your ears. Only manual cleaning by an ENT is safe.

Hey Dimitri1989, I have had tinnitus since the beginning of May in my right ear from ear syringing. It is very high pitched and I am having the hardest time of my life coping with this. I am so glad to hear that you have successfully dealt with yours and I would love to hear some tips. I...

Oh and they did the acoustic reflex test on me, despite me telling them I had tinnitus and hyperacusis. I refused to do the loudness discomfort level test!

Wow, this is how it started for me. DIY irrigation! It set off an incredible 6 years of ongoing issues (I've posted this elsewhere). Because I was largely a vestibular patient, I focussed less on the tinnitus, it was the least of my problems. But most of that stuff has gone away and the...

...I fully understand, living with variable tinnitus that can reach severe levels. I have had microsuction three times at ENT and ear syringing the same at my GP practice and fortunately had no problems. Some people believe the safest method of earwax removal is manual using a curette. However...

The thing is guys, think about this, MArkkuu got his T from syringing, and linked me to this article http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/articles/chronic-tinnitus-resulting-from-cerumen-removal-procedures.pdf and I had it, and i took it to the docrot and he would not look at it, he simply flat out...

@Mr_Orange_3737 I did see that article a while ago. I was hoping it could provide some insight into how or why syringing/irrigation could cause or worsen tinnitus. The result that many folks eventually recovered is promising for us. I'm at the 4 month mark since my tinnitus started. I'm having...

...a massaging-the-temples exercise off a YouTube video, which was apparently for releasing fluids from the Eustachian tubes (since I thought I had ETD after my ear syringing). Didn’t hurt, but that followed with once in a while a warm ear, and then a painfully warm ear... Would thát be...

I don't think that's true. Definitely got my t from noise partially and trobalt helped me but I couldn't handle the side effects.

...in tinnitus patient care as well. Then there would be less TMD tinnitus caused from dental surgery. There would be less tinnitus from ear syringing. There would be less increasing tinnitus for those with ASD and TTTS attained from hearing stress tests. There would be less increased tinnitus...

In the Santa Monica site, the doctor told me that out of the ~10 subjects, only one of them had not closing eardrum issue. Later it turned out that this was not related to injections and even though they offered the subject a surgery to close it, he refused as it was a non-issue for him. I...

I haven't heard of wax in itself causing a permanent increase. For me, the syringing procedure caused chronic tinnitus in the first place, but it seems to be a very rare occurrence and I must've had bad luck. Of course a blocked ear can make tinnitus seem (way) more intense. But once cleared...

Could it be coincidence? We know that some of the members you mentioned can pinpoint their cause- ear syringing and loud music exposure in two cases.

...for the cleaning, any ENT should be able to perform a manual cleaning of the ears. It's completely silent, and doesn't carry the risks that syringing or micro-suction do. If your ENT won't do this... find another ENT. *I forget to add that the temporary deafness you experienced was likely...

...ears syringed, however. If there is wax build-up, then insist on having the wax removed using medical instruments (as a starting point). Syringing the ears should only be done if all else fails. Syringing the ears can cause damage (and tinnitus, in fact). It would seem that there is a...

Going through the same. How are you feeling now Robert?

...So lower spine and muscle pressure finally led to my neck. So my chiropractor said this is why you have somatic tinnitus - neck and jaw. Bending my neck forward at the dentist when pressure was applied to my front jaw was the last straw. Although my first T was subjective from ear syringing.

I'm not aware of any longitudinal studies on tinnitus caused by ear syringing. Usually tinnitus is considered chronic after 12 months, and I think after that time has passed the chances of tinnitus spontaneously improving considerably lessen. I wouldn't expect tinnitus caused by syringing be...

...wouldn't cost much to find a local audiologist who would clear out your ears privately. I felt that microsuction would be safer than syringing but technically both can cause tinnitus, although this is uncommon. I used olive oil drops. Some of the ear drops can also cause tinnitus. I found...

Stay away from acoustic reflex, ECOG (90db), Vemp (100-110db), Tympanometry, Microsuction, Ear Syringing (Caloric Test), Caloric test with air, etc. They will Permanently increase your T.

Are you SERIOUS? Yesterday your tinnitus had gone away but someone touched your ear and it returned... Now syringing made it go away but thinking about it made it return? Do you think your tinnitus could be all in your mind? You should see a psychiatrist for proper medication?

...otherwise it can cause a lot of problems: tinnitus, ear infection, earache, vertigo, itchiness etc. Whether a person has ear irrigation (syringing) or microsuction, it is important that the earwax is thoroughly softened to enable easy removal. Olive oil/ear drops should be applied to each...

You sent me a lot of stuff, not sure what exactly you're talking about... What did you use the TENS machine for and how?

...earwax due to the local humid climate. I frequently use cotton buds to clear my ears with great care. It's much safer than doing ear syringing and microsuction that made the tinnitus and hyperacusis worse. 4. I went to the library frequently and read a lot. It was my only safe haven. The...

I already saw a doctor. He gave me a bottle of olive oil ear drops, which I'll have to apply for the next two weeks before getting syringing done for my ears. I am seriously hoping the ear drops won't make anything worse...

...Does anyone have experience with having their ear wax removed privately in London? (either done manually or by microsuction, though not syringing). I'm looking for a clinic who will not rush, be sympathetic to my tinnitus, and most of all highly competent! I am currently looking at the...

Wow, I know not all Dr’s are bad, but my experience since I’ve had T has been less than good. This is why people get angry when you know something is wrong and they just usher you out the door. That poor girl could have had this all sorted and yet because the Dr chose not to do any further...

Ear syringing or irrigation can cause H unfortunately, it happened to me but I'm healing!

My situation was very similar to this. It’s a good theory... Worse tinnitus after wax removal, seems quite rare. I know syringing has been known to cause it sometimes but mine wasn’t. I also had a case of hypercausis after removal (or maybe it was just the so called ‘reactive tinnitus’!). Some...

...what it was immediately after. I guess it'd be considered mild now so it wouldn't be a disaster if this was permanent, but it is annoying and I'd be worried about it getting worse with time. Is it likely it gets any better or is this it? Anyone who's had syringing/irrigation done got any input?

...room and hear a sudden noise (which does not have to be loud at all) my body reacts strongly. About 2 weeks after this event, I had an ear syringing done (due to a wax plug) and after this, my tinnitus became much worse and I had varying degrees of pain and filling sensation in both ears...

...my first onset of tinnitus, it would help for a day or two after months, but then My T would go back to baseline. I would take a very small amount for 2 days or so. I think why it helped me, is because my ears have cell and nerve damage from noise being placed directing into my ears - syringing.

You went back to the doctor and he demanded ear syringing. It means your ears aren't clean yet. I would get them clean. Having an ear plug in your ear all the time can cause wax buildup. Also I have a hunch that ear plugs act almost like ear wax impactions because they block sound. We know...

...weeks ago because after work I took out my earplugs and lost some hearing in my right ear because the plug pushed wax deep in my ear canal. I've never had an issue from the syringing and from the amount of times I use my earplugs, I'll probably get it done at least once per year from now on...

...back with db meter to not go above 80db and just enjoy my life. Biggest mistake this time was to go into closed space. Bass was too massive. My T from noise damage is minimal. Barely audible at day, only in quiet rooms. My biggest T is from ear syringing/infection/ototoxic meds - its unmaskable.

...ear produces a lot of wax and it always feels itchy which leads to me using q-tips. But I end up having a wax impaction problem and got ear syringing done twice in the past 2 months. I hate having it done though because it's loud and spikes my tinnitus/worsens my hearing temporarily...

...I never went to loud gigs since I was in my teens nor did i listen to loud music or use headphones....... So why do they never discuss this aspect of it? So frustrating! why do they never discuss that great anxiety and great ongoing stress can be a cause of it too and what about ear syringing?

...for my right ear, but are doing nothing for my left. I think there's a blockage. I might ask the doc to see if he can get it out without syringing. I had syringing done a couple years ago and it hurt a bit, but didn't cause any problems. But hearing someone got T because of it makes me...

...ears ie. home remedies or the general practitioner's advice which would typically include olive oil for ear wax removal. If you have a legitimate complaint over blockage, then see an ENT about it, and have it removed with fine instruments. No syringing unless absolutely necessary. My suggestion.

...wax syringed from my ear. The same thing happened last year, with the same alleviation. But this year my tinnitus did not lift with the wax syringing, and the doctor at the hospital says that I must not have the wax removed that way again. But in any case, this tinnitus has lasted longer and...

...in my inner ears is normal, ear drums are in good shape and there is no hearing loss. My ear canals are still a bit irritated from the syringing. She said that there is a chance the tinnitus could be my ears adjusting to hearing without wax, and could go away, but there is no way to know for...

Go to an ent they are more experienced to remove wax from you're ear don't do it you're self man!

...auditory system require a fine balance between the two ears, for locating sound. I seem to recall Markku got it in one ear, due to ear syringing, but now has in both ears. (Markku...need your help here) What gets weird is when I get these fireworks/whizzers/bottle rockets every now and then.
