    What Do Doctors Need to Understand About Tinnitus?

    I've been to an oral surgeon and was told everything seems okay, But the fact I can modulate it up, and down makes me have some hope that this is a somatic cause that I could hopefully work on. My jaw does feel different on the side that my T is worse too.

    Is My Tinnitus Flare-Up from Allergies, ETD, Middle Ear Infection or from Something Else?

    I believe so, that's what the ENT told me at least. It showed both sides were a steady line. They were coming off of a number 20 which I imagine was decibals or something

    Is My Tinnitus Flare-Up from Allergies, ETD, Middle Ear Infection or from Something Else?

    Hello, I'd say close to most of my life I had extremely mild tinnitus from headphone usage at a young age. However I started a manufacturing job a year ago. About 6-7 months back I had a very bad ear ache one day when putting in my ear plug in my right ear. That week my tinnitus in my right ear...

    Quiet Amongst the Noise

    I'm at about 2 months now that my tinnitus has caused a significant impact on my mental health. I genuinely hope to reach a point like this one day and I find it inspiring. I wish everyone the best in their journey and fight with tinnitus.

    Somatic Tinnitus in TMJ/Cervicial Instability?

    I'm starting to think my tinnitus is partially somatic. I have gone to an ENT. I showed no significant hearing loss and was still in a healthy range for a 23 year old. I was in a car accident little under a year ago which is when I started realizing my tinnitus more prominently but my doctor...

    Haven't Been Able to Sleep, Concenrate or Enjoy Life in Weeks Due to Tinnitus

    I ended up finally getting into an ENT. My audiogram came back good, which is like relieving but stressful at the same time because she said there wasn't much she could do to help with my T. She said my eustachian tube is most likely causing the pressure and abnormal sensations I have been...

    Prednisone for Tinnitus from Headphone Use Over a Week Ago? Is It Too Late?

    @leftearguy hey man just know you aren't alone. I'm in the same boat. My right ear is still terrible and my left ear has been starting to ring as well. Its super hard to relax with everything going on but I'm hoping we both are just making our situation worse by noticing it. I'm worried about...

The last few days my left ear has been ringing too. I'm just not sure if I never noticed it. What should I do...

    Prednisone for Tinnitus from Headphone Use Over a Week Ago? Is It Too Late?

    @leftearguy no I have not, I took prednisone about 2-3 weeks ago though. And thats actually really interesting because my right jaw (same side as my tinnitus) clicks like described on tmj articles. But I don't have any other tmj symptoms or jaw pain or anything so I didn't know how much that...

    Haven't Been Able to Sleep, Concenrate or Enjoy Life in Weeks Due to Tinnitus

    I just ended up going to an urgent care facility near my house, they told me it looked like I had fluid in my ear and inflammation again. He gave me an anti biotic and some ear drops for swimmers ear. I'm praying this is all it was. I still have an ENT calling me Monday as well so hopefully I...

    Prednisone for Tinnitus from Headphone Use Over a Week Ago? Is It Too Late?

    This sounds actually really similar to how the on set of my tinnitus started (7-9 months ago is when it became very noticeable) please keep me up to date. I did the prednisone it wasn't any help as well as having a hearing test a few months back that I was told "you have a healthy ear" and that...

    Haven't Been Able to Sleep, Concenrate or Enjoy Life in Weeks Due to Tinnitus

    I am not, I haven't returned to my job since this whole pandemic started and frankly now after noticing this I have no desire to. I have been trying to decrease any loud noise exposure throughout my day. As well as trying to mask it with a sound machine at night.

    Hi! My names Joe, I'm 23. For a lot of my life I had very mild tinnitus when I would try and sleep from headphones etc. But last year I started a manufacturing job and wasn't given a safety course for a few months in. Turns out I don't think I was wearing my ear protection correctly. 5 months...
