Good morning. My name is Mia and I have been lurking Tinnitus Talk since June of this year. My story: I have had on and off ETD since 2017 but no tinnitus. On May 24th, 2023, I woke up with a high-pitched ring in my right ear and a sinus infection. I went to the doctor who told me I had a dual...

I don't know anything about ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?). When my tinnitus started, I had muffled hearing in one ear and horrible headaches. I thought it was a sinus infection, but no one could see any signs of inflammation or fluid in my ears. None of the ENTs I went to suggested ETD as a...

Going to the ENT for mild ear ringing in my left ear, and I have a sinus infection. Ringing has only been about 1 week so far, sinus infection for months. I see some people get issues when they remove wax, etc so I want to be careful. Anything I shouldn't let the ENT do? Or something I should...

Did you take any ototoxic medication for your sinus infection? It's important that you check if there is inner ear damage. Additionally, strong sinus infections (as well as otitis media) can change Eustachian tube function (due to inflammation), and can take up to 6 months to work properly...

My right ear got Tinnitus on Dec 15th, 2017. I had a toothache and my ear hurt, and i went to urgent care. They told me I had a sinus infection, and they gave me a nasal spray and doxycycline. I took the antibiotic, and woke up the next am with Tinnitus. I also felt like there was something in...

Hoping that writing this down helps me since it's difficult for others around me to empathize or sympathize. And all the doctors can say is the typical refrain..."there's nothing you can do". Acoustic trauma from a rock concert (in 2010) and multiple ear/sinus infections are seemingly the...

Hi all, I haven't been around, I'm just too miserable. I was pretty sure my tinnitus came about from a sinus infection which I then believed became ETD. Although now things look even more depressing. I had an appointment at UCH London ENT department last week. I got a phone call follow-up...

I’m 21 and have had tinnitus in my left ear for about three weeks now, starting roughly with the onset of a sinus infection. The tinnitus is a hiss sound, ranging in frequency from cicadas to radio static. Urgent care prescribed me an antibiotic after saying my eardrum was bulging - this...

Hey guys. I’m Nate. I’m kinda new with this whole tinnitus thing. It and my other symptoms started two weeks ago after a sinus infection, and I also hear like crackling when I swallow and fullness in my right ear. My tinnitus is really very subtle, and only affects me in a quiet room at night...

My tinnitus is caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) and a retracted eardrum. The sound is more of a hissing than a ringing. It's best to avoid Flonase and Afrin as they can make it worse. Instead, try natural remedies to open your Eustachian tube. Steam inhalation to open your Eustachian...

Welcome to the forum. It is likely you have some ear or sinus issues due to the fullness you feel at times. Infection of sinus or inner ears, ear fluid or wax build up, or ETD? Best to get an ENT to check it out. Good luck. God bless

I'm a frequent flyer and I feel a little silly making this thread, I know most of the techniques to clear my ears and fly safely with tinnitus, but I'm wondering if people have any experiences to share regarding flying while having sinus congestion or ETD. Has anyone had clogged ears or...

I have a theory regarding somatic tinnitus in people with no hearing loss and it may include some with hearing loss. The root cause is ETD. What causes ETD is what we must address. ETD increases middle ear pressure. More pressure causes the ear drum to be stiffer. Stiffness of the ear drum...

@just1morething @KWC Well for sure, muscle imbalances of jaw from inflammation can cause swelling and thus TMJ. Muscle inflammation is actually gum inflammation. What can cause this is clenching, sinus or ETD fluid infection, or bad hygiene. Much of the time, the atlas - top of neck is also off...

SSHL related aural fullness is quite persistent. Perhaps other issues like ETD or sinus infection can cause the condition you mentioned. But seeing an ENT to determine the cause is better than speculation.

Hello all! My name is Clare, and I'm 22 from New York. My tinnitus journey started about one month ago. I'll be as descriptive as possible so you get the full picture. I was overseas on a 6 month cultural exchange program. During our last week in Italy, I came down with a head cold. I think it...

I've been battling pulsating tinnitus since Jan 2015 after a sinus infection and ear infection. It's my right ear only. I've been Dx with Eustachian tube dysfunction and chronic fluid in ear. Have tried steroids, Allegra d, mucinex, garlic oil, ear candling and nasal irrigation. Some work...

Hello lovely people. I forgot to tell you in my previous threads that I was diagnosed 5 yrs ago with ETD. Is possible that because I had a sinus infection, my T came back after 5 yrs (2 different sounds in the ears). The doctor told me that my sinus now (after 3 weeks of antibiotics) is cured...

Dear forum, I have been starting to hear a loud, high-pitched ringing in my ears, which I find to be very strange, considering my age (15). I can offer a chronological set of events that led me to this forum, and what I have been going through at the moment. Initially, when I went to bed on...

Hello everyone! If you're reading this — it's nice to meet you, and I hope you're having a good day! :) You can call me Zetta if you'd like (23, F, UK). Like a lot of people on this forum, I've been a lurker for about four months; since my tinnitus started. I've bounced around the forums quite...

Hi all. I've had tinnitus for just over a month, just in my left ear, started out of nowhere. I'm a 42-year-old man with no health complications. I've seen an ENT. He wasn't very interested. I had a hearing test which shows no issues. No earwax, fluid or sinus issues (though I did have a very...

I think I also have ETD/tinnitus from a sinus/ear infection, and I think it has caused me to be more sensitive to some sounds.

Hello Everyone:) I'm seeing an ENT 2moro Paul have had ringing for 6 weeks after sinus infection not sure if TMJ or ETD

Welcome to the forum. If you can have silent periods when your sinus is unclogged, it is likely your tinnitus is caused by sinus infection. But can't rule out other factors are at play too, such as ETD and you being a musician exposing to loud music often. Have you seen an ENT on your sinus...

Welcome to the forum. Your sinus infection might have caused ETD or ear fluid buildup. Best is to see an ENT to check out any potential problem with the ears.

It also happens when I have some fluid trapped or a sinus infection! Sudafed over the counter stuff is good and only about £3.00

I have seen an ENT a couple of times and he said he didn’t see liquid behind the ear drum. Man I was making progress, then my tone changed, tinnitus just spiked along with the 2 other tones because of my head cold. Worst timing ever.

Sorry to hear you're going through that kind of crap. No one deserves such an ailment. I've got a question though. How did they decide on the Middle Ear Myoclonus (MEM) diagnosis? Do you have thumping/fluttering/spasming in the ear? Sorry if you mentioned it in the above conversation and I...

Hi, I have ETD, and , as billie48 said, your symptoms seem to fit. The exposure to loud noise is a complicator, and you need to protect yourself from further exposure. ETD (and the associated tinnitus) often persists after the cold/sinus infection have improved, and is the last symptom to...

@Tyler Montgomery It's deja-vu for me too from when I first developed tinnitus (except without the sinus infection + ETD talk this time). The audiologist did recommend a free app called Resound Relief, so let's see if that helps.

I am sorry to know of the difficulties you are going through @Banksy. If the onset of your tinnitus is solely related to a sinus infection and possibly ETD, then an ENT doctor should be able to treat these conditions as this is their area of expertise and hopefully the tinnitus will reduce. Nine...

Hey Vicki, I thought I would put your mind at ease a bit. Is it possible your hissing started after a flight or ear infection? I've seen 4 different ENTs and found out that 99% of the time, hissing comes from inflammation in the Eustachian tube. The eardrum could be being sucked in slightly due...

@Yashin yes that is correct! The fullness in my ears got worse and I was also sensitive to sounds after my sinus infection. According to my doctor I had a “sinus infection” but my ent yesterday told me it could’ve been migraines. And I’ve had Tinnitus for a year in half. It’s super mild and I...

Hi billie48, I hope you are having a good day. I know I have to give it time for my ears to heal, but I just wanted to ask you about what I have been experiencing recently. So last night, for a few minutes (maybe 3-4 minutes), it felt like my tinnitus was gone and that I heard silence. This...

Hi hariz. How did the flight go with your etd?

I know there are a decent amount of posts regarding Septoplasty, and I’ll keep reading them, but I couldn’t necessarily find an answer from people who had a Septoplasty after tinnitus. I had tinnitus onset a little over two months ago, the same time I had a sinus infection, then mono and loud...

@LadyDi here is how my life went with T: I had a sinus infection about 2-3 weeks before I went swimming and got water stuck in my ear overnight. This was in June. The day after that was when my affected ear felt a little painful and I hear cracking noises in my ear, which is a supposed sign of...

Hi, I'm a 16 yr old female and for the fast 3-4 months I've been dealing with this annoying crackling noise in my ears whenever I swallow, yawn or pop my ears. I've also been dealing with intermittent and fleeting tinnitus that fluctuates a lot in sound. It started after a shitty sinus infection...

Hi, my name is Paul and I recently developed Tinnitus after a Sinus Infection and ETD. Have had tinnitus for about 2 weeks now. Im not sure if its here to stay or not but its really worrying! Feel free to say hello and introduce yourselves to me. Its nice to meet you all!

I have not been officially diagnosed, but judging by my symptoms of ear crackling when I swallow, fullness in my right ear, and of course subtle tinnitus in my right ear, I believe that it is an ETD that caused this.Two weeks ago, I had a sinus infection that I believe did trigger this ETD. I...

Welcome to the forum. Tinnitus can be caused by many possible things so it is wise to see an ENT first to see if any medical conditions such as infection, sinus congestion, ETD etc may have caused your tinnitus. Did the car accident do any damage to your neck? Sometimes neck muscle problem...

I saw the ENT yesterday and he said my sporadic right ear fullness was probably due to ETD or sinus infection. He checked my ears, nose and throat and saw no sign of infection. He said to chew gum when it happens, which I did and it went away!! He also wanted me to do valsalva manoeuver but I...

I would say that the Neti pot helped, with the caveat that I believe my ETD was caused by a sinus infection. I was also taking nasal steroids at the time as well as astelin, and I didn’t start the Neti pot until after a round of oral steroids that had gotten rid of 80% of the inflammation, so...

1. Have you had blood tests for infection? Do you remember what your norm temperature was when younger and healthy. If so, consider taking your temperature and compare. 2. Parotid or submandibular gland infection - probably doubtful. There's 600 to 1000 very tiny salivary glands in throat and...

Welcome to the forum. Your tinnitus may not be due to change of car. It may be a coincidence. There are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug side-effects from ototoxic drugs, earwax build-up, earwax removal suction, inner ear...

I couldn't tell you without knowing what caused your tinnitus. Tinnitus from ear infections 99% of the time is from extremely swollen Eustachian tubes which can take years to go down without treatment (steroids, anti-allergies, saline sinus rinses). It's extraordinarily rare for an ear...

Welcome to the forum. Don't worry too much about the MRI. I did it during my recent episode of SSHL and the ENT recommended an MRI to check for possible acoustic neuroma. It is loud for sure but bearable and not hurting my tinnitus especially I follow the same precaution as mentioned above to...

@devonlee It's mostly bad it you have ETD or are sick at the time. Ear infections/sinus infections are terrible to fly with. The last few flights I went on I was sick with bronchitis but my ears felt it real bad. My right ear couldn't pop and over pressurization with valsalva is sometimes...

It could be ETD. I had it, and I used an Otovent for about 3 weeks and the plugged feeling went. And guess what? The tinnitus went too, and I heard silence. However, instead of rejoicing I became stressed thinking that it wouldn't last, and it didn't. The tinnitus migrated to my other ear, and...

Tinnitus started in right ear only 1.5 years ago, January 2017. I had a bad sinus infection in November 2015 and November 2016. Have always had bad allergies, and can barely breathe through my nose currently, worse on right nostril, same as tinnitus. My ear has felt very clogged this entire...

@Adriel93, I am not sure I understand. So you have had a fullness sensation for many years, as a consequence of ETD, but without sound sensitivity. But recently, after a sinus infection, you had more (or different) fullness, plus the sound sensitivity. Is that right? Please correct me if I’m...

I have sporadic ETD, primarily due to ongoing allergies and sinus problems. I use Flonase daily. I also am really careful about flying now, given barotrauma on a plane flight, due to an undiagnosed sinus infection, caused my tinnitus. If you are concerned about ETD, a doctor can do what's called...

Thanks for the reply. I have been trying decongestant nasal sprays and taking Sudafed Sinus, but it is taking a while. Haven't tried inhaling steam, I'll try that tonight. As for allergies - I've had symptoms of what I've got now of varying degrees.... I'm not allergic to anything, that I know...

I also got a spike and the exact same diagnosis as you three weeks ago that you got in 2010. ETD then sinus infection... But I'm pretty positive it was from acoustic trauma... Heh. Since I'm still three weeks in I'm also hoping my T goes down to the levels it was before. Do you notice the tone...

I'm new here. Hello to everyone. I've suffered from tinnitus for years but it was always minimal. I woke up one day after suffering from what I consider ear and sinus infection with the ringing becoming very loud in both ears. I can no longer tune it out. Can this forum tell me what all...

@Yashin I couldn’t tell when the fullness began because I’ve had etd since I was small. And no I haven’t exposed myself to any loud environments. And yes I had a sinus infection and my ears felt a little fuller than the usual. Which is weird is that, as soon as I stopped taking my...

I will have the same surgery but in 4-5 months from now according to my surgeon. I am scared of Empty Nose Syndrome more than any tinnitus spike. Please keep us updated here if you want, I will follow this thread. Wish you the best and speedy recovery and no complications after the surgery.

Welcome to the forum. You seem to be doing well even with your 7/24 T. Allergies causing sinus infection or allergy to drugs are known to have triggered tinnitus. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from...

@Hariz Nonis Hi Hariz: Problems within the neck from injury, posture relations - hyperextension and artery blood flow can cause other problems within the neck including muscle tenderness or tenseness. The neck can cause other problems within facial, mouth, jaw, head and ears including...
