Back here again. Throat infection spread to right ear and now it’s completely blocked (though painless) meaning all I can hear is the T :(

The existence of tinnitus is caused by either noise (the most common), Meniere’s, ototoxicity or TMJ/neck issues. Perception of it may be caused by occlusion (e.g., ear infection/wax blockage) or by stress. Anything else causing it is nonsense.

It is complete pseudoscience to claim that a smart meter causes tinnitus. Proper middle aged mom Facebook stuff.

It doesn’t matter what health condition you’re in yourself, or indeed your opinions on how to treat the said condition. If you reply to someone’s health success story basically sh*tting all over their achievement in getting over it, you’re not being the good person.

DISCLAIMER: NONE OF WHAT FOLLOWS IS WRITTEN FROM ANY SORT OF MEDICAL QUALIFICATION, OR EXPERIENCE WITH SEVERE TINNITUS, HYPERACUSIS OR NOXACUSIS. IT’S JUST AN OPINION FROM A FAIRLY NEW, MILD CASE. A few people on here may recognise me, I posted a thread about my own condition a few months ago...

Same for me, when I first wake up and lie in bed I can barely hear it even when I listen for it. Then it’s like my brain fully calibrates and I’m back in hell.

I'm in a similar situation as you (massive spike after a sinus infection), albeit much less time into it (1-2 months) and thankfully, my tinnitus is mostly bearable. But it is such a disgrace how long people in the UK have to wait to see any form of specialist about problems such as this...

I would never wish tinnitus on anyone, but it does just seem so unfair, doesn't it. I live in London, so have to hear absolute dickheads on motorbikes (and also in modified cars) nearly every day. It just reeks of insecurity having to travel around making that much noise.

Weed always temporarily spikes my tinnitus - I now don't enjoy getting high because it always ends in a vicious cycle of anxiety/tinnitus that I'm sure many of you here are familiar with. But weed literally made my tinnitus audible before I had my big spikes that caused this condition to be a...

I have an ENT referral from my GP, but this being the NHS, I'm not sure exactly when I will see them. My GP very briefly looked inside my ears and said my right ear canal was slightly swollen. This made sense at the time, last week my right ear felt tight at times. This has since gone away...

This is very similar to my situation. In particular, yawning has always triggered a high-pitched buzz for me (albeit at varying volumes) that I noticed on a cognitive level but never thought for a second about. However, for me, a cold (or possibly COVID-19) made this much louder and more...

This will be a long read but I feel the need to describe my tinnitus and the time leading up to it as fully as possible. I am 20 years old and have a history (for my whole life) of easily clogged and uncomfortable sinuses. My mother mentioned the other day how when I developed a cold as a baby...
