Search results for query: ETD sinus infection

Something I've learned since being on this forum is that even thought it's counter-intuitive, trying your best not to focus on it is one of the best things you can do. Keep yourself distracted. The two greatest things tinnitus preys upon are silence and boredom. I think I also have ETD related...

Ive seen my doctor 3 times who said it was ETD and Sinus Infection, but she didnt want to give me any antibiotics and said it should clear by itself. I did have a pressure difference in my right ear for awhile but that has now subsided and my ear pressure seems back to normal. T isnt as bad as...

Sorry ladies, I did not see your questions until now. @monkey124 I don't think that ETD blockage itself is the problem and a tympanogram would probably show that eustachian tubes were not blocked --- reason being plugging ear or lowering your head would not completely stop your sounds with ET...

the ENT I saw said prednisone would help with inflammation in the nasal passages, so I would imagine that medicine is similar. I have a popping in my ears so I probably have ETD as well due to the sinus infection. I wouldn't describe my T as a hiss though, it's a very high frequency ring.

Hi @beemovie, I noticed you said your doctor suspected barotrauma. What exactly did he/she think caused this barotrauma? It doesn't happen on its own. My tinnitus came from barotrauma... but I got it by taking a long airplane flight when I had an undetected sinus infection. You may indeed have...

@Emz96: Have you asked your doctors specifically about Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD)? That's when your tubes, which lead into your middle ear and help you equalize pressure on planes (along with other stuff) can't open and close naturally. It makes you feel like your ears are stopped up...

The first ENT I went to said I had a sinus infection, and that my ear stuff would clear up once I fix that. She prescribed "Augmentin875". Not a huge fan of antibiotics. She also didn't use an endoscope to check my nose, just sprayed something and quickly looked up. So I'm going to a new one...

Welcome to the forum. Head or neck injury is a known cause for triggering tinnitus. But There are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear-wax removal suction, inner ear...

I'm chuckling as I read this because yes, I've had everything that you mentioned and more including multiple surgeries. This is not my first rodeo ;) I was interested in your experiment with rubbing your jaw and Capsaicin because I'm always looking for ways to ease a flare up when the tinnitus...

That makes sense but the original poster makes it sound like flying without being sick is something he can no longer do. That's sad.

Tinnitus can be quite unpredictable especially a relatively new T. It can morph into different symptoms like jumping ears, multi tones, switching tones, ear fullness, etc. So don't worry too much on it. Focusing on the positives will help to prevent too much anxiety and stress build up which can...

Welcome to the forum. Hearing aids are generally used for tinnitus caused by hearing loss. From your description, it seems your tinnitus is from sinus infection or ETD. Have you checked with expert that you don't have a ETD issue? Do you feel blockage of the eustachian tube? It is good to have...

If you investigate deep enough you will realize loud noise damage can cause ear fullness/aches and get misdiagnosed as ETD.

I was recently diagnosed with bronchitis/pharyngitis. I have been sick constantly this year from upper respiratory infections and have taken an oral course of penicillin in Jan 2017 and an oral course of amoxicillin about 2 months later, both for sinus infection/pharyngitis. I now have been...

Welcome to the forum. I agree you may need to check up with ENT to determine if you have ear infections, wax build up or ear fluids, ETD etc. ENT can also check if you have hearing loss. You mention that you haven't gone to concert in years, but tinnitus can be caused by many other causes...

Welcome to the forum. Since I am not a doctor, I can't give medical opinion on your specific case. Perhaps you contact the doctors at the Doctor's Corner on TT to see if they have any opinion. If not, since two of your doctors said it was related to ETD, then perhaps they know something and if...

No I believe they said that I didn't have it

Welcome to the forum @Newbee7. If your tinnitus is from an acoustic trauma, then you can ask the ENT or your doctor if they can prescribe a course of Prednisone. If it is from your cold, it may be related to the sinus infection or ETD. So ask the ENT to check on these conditions. Staying calm...

@Marijana Hi! I went to Poland for a few days this week so had two 2 hour flights. My previously very mild T increased at Christmas as a result of a virus / sinus infection. I have also had mild ETD and have been struggling with pressure in my ears so was panicking about flying. I googled lots...

Welcome to the forum. It is always not easy to pin point the exact cause of spiking tinnitus. I will list below some common causes of tinnitus or spikes of tinnitus. Check if you have any of these recently or during the spikes. There are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or...

Hi @Renfrey, I am taking the Mometasone of my own accord and not from a doctor’s prescription. I had some left over from a sinus infection a year ago and I decided to take it on my own; however, I did speak to an ENT today and he told me it was likely the best nasal steroid for ETD and it is...

I have some sinus / ET infection recently with yellow bloody discharge, my GP prescribed me the Naseptin nasal cream (neomycin 0.5% / chlorhexidine dihydrochloride 0.1%) for topical use (in nose) twice a day for 2 weeks. I read about the ototoxicity of neomycin and aminoglycosides in general...

No, That was Skydra. I did not get mine from barotrauma.

Wow, yes, our situation seems very similar. I had a hearing test this week and I have no hearing loss or damage whatsoever so it is 100% an infection thus most likely ETD. I do (very very very) slowly notice improvement, though at some moments it can get really loud and at other moments the...

@Koz, Do you still think the pot was linked to your ETD? My pre-existing tinnitus has been worse in my right ear for a couple of weeks now and I feel more pressure in that ear than usual, and my ENT today said he believes my E tube in my right ear is inflamed. He believes this is the result...

Hello TT, I have been dealing with contact tinnitus (high pitched) and Eustachian tube dysfunction since April. This occurred after a sinus infection. The other day, my ears seemed a bit more clogged and I experienced a loud tinnitus in my right ear, that felt more clogged. This put me into a...

Welcome to the forum. It is sometimes hard to pin point the exact cause of T or it may be due to combination of factors. Hearing loss is just one known cause, but T can come from stress, ototoxic drugs or side effect of normal drugs, TMJ, TTTS, ear infection or ETD, neck or head injury, sinus...

Welcome to the forum. From your description, your T seem to come from the sinus infection and ETD or that the drug you took may be ototoxic. But there are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including drug reaction or side-effects, ear or Eustachian tube infection, ear wax build...

Hmmm, being sensitive to certain noises - as in it causes pain? Or that certain noises trigger the tinnitus more often? Do you suffer from tinnitus spikes? If it's popping when you wake up, and on a regular basis, that might be a symptom of ETD (I've mentioned the other symptoms above). Or...

Welcome to the forum @LizC . As far as the reason for the T increase, there are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including by not limited to stress and lack of exercises. Thing like drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up...

It's like reading my own story!! The ENT couldn't figure it out (telling me it was probably a viral infection, but no sign of fluid build up). Then I had a nurse look at it and, low and behold, I had a bulging eardrum due to fluid build up...??? So I started doing my own investigating (after...

Did it help? How do you feel now?

Thanks for the info, Lukee.

Your 10 minutes in the concert might have caused further damage to the ears. Usually acoustic trauma will make the ears unstable for a while from weeks to months. So try to be patient and not too freaked out. You may also check if there are more than just the concert event that might have caused...

Welcome to the forum. Yes, tinnitus can come on suddenly like mine just woke me up one night with its ultra high pitch scream and stayed 7/24 scaring me to no ends. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from...

Mike K, here's hoping your ETD is going to disappear.It is a not-well-understood topic. I don't know if smoking (tobacco,weed or anything else) directly causes tinnitus, but tobacco smoke does paralyse cilia in the respiratory tract. Can inflammation in the Eustachian tube be seen on...

Welcome to the forum. It is not always easy to pin down to the exact cause of tinnitus. Yours may have started by acoustic trauma but there are many other possible causes. I list some below and see if you have any of that recently. As far as the reason for the tinnitus increase, there are many...

Hey @Hariz Nonis: My tinnitus came from barotrauma on a long distance airplane flight. ETD was a factor. I do fly now, but only if I follow a specific protocol given to me my doctor. It's outlined in the thread below. My post is long but you should read the whole thing. On this thread, you will...

Sorry to hear about your symptoms, all of us on this forum can agree it's not a fun time. The fluttering seems like it's probably the tensor tympani muscle spasming but that's just a guess on my part. Maybe some sort of muscle relaxant could help but I couldn't tell you. The tinnitus could...

I had occasional tinnitus, got double ear infection, went thru a bottle of Neomycin based ear drops, the infection was cleaned up then all a sudden this high pitched piercing sound lance from hell shot through my head in one ear and out the other. It has never left for 4 years. 7800 Hz a...

Hi everyone, I've had ongoing ETD, ear infection, glue ear, sinus issues for several months. Previous to this I was totally health, never had any problems with my ears. Eventually, I got tinnitus in 1 ear and today my eardrum in my previously good ear ruptured and now I can hear my heartbeat in...
