Wow @billie48, remarkable compilation of just "some" of the causes for tinnitus. Don't know if you caught it, but one woman just wrote that she successfully traced her tinnitus to HEART PROBLEMs. She's apparently now almost completely tinnitus free after nine years (IIRC). -- Thanks for the...

Welcome to the forum. Hope your husband's condition will improve. Tinnitus is a strange beast which can be hard to trace back its source. 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...

Well, I went to another doctor and now I have an answer to my mystery. My ear situation has been caused by COVID-19. I got it 3 months ago when my "sinus infection" and tinnitus/ear infection started. Since I didn't have the usual symptoms associated with COVID-19, no one bothered to run a...

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried Melatonin for sleep? Also masking with soothing nature sounds may help you sleep. Have you tried that? 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...

That concert triggered my T 3.5 years ago.

I know this sounds strange, but generally when I hear people talking about acoustic trauma or spikes, they generally describe ear fullness. However, with my recent spike from loud music, I did not get any fullness of ears that I can recall. What I did get was almost like an uncomfortable...

Welcome to the forum! Yes sometimes it is not easy to pin down the exact cause of tinnitus. Acoustic trauma and stress/anxiety are two well known causes. There are many other causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug side-effects...

4 month update: Well, these last 2 months have been quite good. I still have not experienced noise or anxiety induced spike. I've begun to wonder if my tinnitus was noise induced. It is probably not in my opinion, but can't be 100% sure, maybe an anxiety state can weaken hair cells? The noise...

You mentioned extreme stress for extended periods of time. Once that stress is relieved, have you seen people improve? twa

Before my tinnitus I had to pull on my left ear a little to crack it from time to time, I was fine then... After my tinnitus started from forward head posture which caused neck and jaw issues, now I have to pull on my right ear to crack it for relieve. It's like everything shifted in my head.

Update: When my nose was not clogged, I tried to relieve my ear pressure by placing my fingers inside my ear and gently moving my fingers back and forth. This helped to relieve pressure as well as my tinnitus (as I could barely hear my tinnitus at that time), although when my stuffy nose came a...

@Suzerman With your neck feeling uncomfortable not prior to TMJ and ETD, then I would say that TMJ caused muscle spasms that transferred to the muscles in the middle ear. A few points about this: A mild case of TMJ or tensed jaw posture started first causing ETD/ sinus. Once that process...

There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum injury, fluid build-up in ears feeling pressured or fullness, sinus infection &...

@Chris M Hey there! Sorry, I've been a busy bee this month. Still try to get on here every few days while I can. I found your other thread where you laid out your symptoms. Seems like you have a milder case, especially if it's getting better as fast as you say. The best thing that helped me out...

Welcome to the forum Laurie. Tinnitus can be caused by many things. MS is not a common cause but it has been known on rare occasion to trigger tinnitus. Here is a link that talk about MS and tinnitus. https://www.verywell.com/hearing-problems-and-multiple-sclerosis-2440785 Since MS rarely...

I'm doing salt, xylitol, sodium bicarb (aluminium free) and citrus seed extract drops mixed with a cup of filtered water up my nose with a NetiPot. Maybe consider something like this as an alternative...?

Alex...thought I'd reply as your story is similar to mine. Things WILL improve. I have chronic ETD (due to persistent/recurrent sinus infection) which has caused severe 'hissing' tinnitus 24/7 and PT both ears (not constant). In my case PT seems to coincide with, and is maybe caused by...

Welcome to the forum. 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 drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, inner ear infection, Eustachian tube infection or...

If your problem is ETD, there are some exercises on YouTube that can help. Wish you the best .

Believe me, really: I made all the possible exams, x-rays, ct scans, blood exams, etc for each of everything you said... everything was negative, everything. Also I had not mental issues or any conditions before the onset. Also since I was a person who often did physical activity, I was followed...

While some form of tinnitus may be not curable or be reversed, others can. If your tinnitus is from a medically related problem, such as inflammation inside the ears, ETD, TMJ etc, then when those conditions have been healed, the tinnitus may be gone or may fade over time. So don't rule out that...

Welcome to the forum. Yes there have been many posts in the past regarding grinding of teeth as one of the reasons given. It is often talked about along with TMJ which is a known cause of tinnitus. Do you find that you can change your T by moving or lowering your jaws? If Bruxism isn't the...

Welcome to the forum. If the exposure to the dog whistle sound on the cell is very brief and the sound is not exceedingly loud, it is not likely to be the cause of your T. For that to happen by a sound, you need loud and perhaps extended exposure to suffering hearing damage. Saying that, hearing...

Acoustic trauma is quite common cause of T but it is only one in many reasons. You mention you had sinus or cold issue and that is also known to trigger T. There are many causes, single or combined, which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or...

Old post I know, but this is exactly what is happening to me. I also have some kind of Sinus infection and this made my tinnitus much louder. I went to the docs and they gave me Doxycycline. I dont know if this has made it worse, but after reading that it could makes things worse, I stopped...

How did your doctor figure out you had COVID-19?

Thanks for your input! It's good to hear that your ETD is slowly disappearing. As far as I can remember, I don't remember having any ETD early on in my sinus infection; it only occurred within the last couple of weeks. The last three days my tinnitus has either been extremely low (and I mean...

Thanks for the reply billie:) I have cervical dystonia, or was actually diagnosed with spasmodic torticolous. I am not sure if they are the same thing but from what I've read on my own research, they are. I developed bone-spurs in my neck. I have had sinus infection in the past, but not...

I have confirmed ETD. The T. is primarily in my left ear, but earlier on it would switch back and forth, and would sometimes be in both ears. In the last month it has been in the left ear only.

Welcome to the forum. It does seem to be TMJ related from your description. But there are many other causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus, including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear or Eustachian tube infection or ETD, ear drum...

It can be ototoxic if taken intravenously in doses between 2g-4g, every 24 hours. This is especially true if you have any kidney problems. Ototoxicity occurs when high serum levels occur in the middle ear, but this is usually when taken intravenously at a sustained dose. Taken orally the risk...

You are like a God send for somatic tinnitus. This thread + this post pretty much sum up all my T history & symptoms for 2 years. But still not sure about what to do next, as usual.

Welcome to the forum. That is the first time I hear that somebody suggests that a hurricane can cause tinnitus. But I don't think it is too far fetched because if that natural disaster has caused you a lot of stress and anxiety, then it can trigger tinnitus. Saying that, there are many causes...

Michael has included some of the common causes of tinnitus. Here is a longer list of causes which may include some of the causes mentioned above. These causes, single or combined, can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including by not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs...

thanks for your reply, Glynis. I have just been prescribed a nasal spray. I will get antihistamines. Give it a couple of weeks and see if it has an affect on my tinnitus. Then Im looking to be referred for a endoscopy so they can access the function of my eustachian tube and look to see if my...

If I were to make heads or tail of your symptoms, sounds a lot like ETD. I sure hope it is. Try decongestants and allergy meds.

Welcome to the forum. It is sometimes not easy to pin down to one exact thing that triggers our tinnitus. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear wax build-up, ear-wax removal suction, ear...

Chronic sinusitis seems to be difficult to treat.. before my tinnitus started, I always had severe post nasal drip but it somehow disappeared and now my nose and sinus congestion, ear fullness, muffled hearing and ETD have gotten so much worse, and the CT scan pretty much explained why.. there...

Agree. Most of the time somatosensory signals like to the eyes only last a few weeks. If it last more than six months then it could be injury or posture influencing multisensory conditions. If an ENT rules out sinus, infection and ETD then a dental checkup may help. From there an appointment...

Special earplugs called earplanes are used, particularly for the descent. You can get these at any drugstore. They regulate the pressure. I would not use the solid moulded earplugs for ascent or descent as this could have an adverse effect on regulating pressure to the eardrum. Don't fly with a...

Update: Saw my ENT today, still no visible infection or fluid in ears, but since my sinus CT scan showed chronic sinusitis inflammation and mucosal thickening that doesn't respond to nasal or oral steroids, antihistamines etc, he recommends some kind of surgery to clean the sinuses. Maybe that...

Sorry about your dilemma with the medial cost and the inefficient public health care of long waiting line. I think we face similar problem here in Canada. Saying that, don't put all your eggs in one basket with the ENT visit. He/she can only help you if your T is related to T caused by problems...

Hi @Lukee, @MrC6688, @Renfrey and others - sorry I’ve been AWOL, I had a lot on my plate. I’ve got an extended audiogram booked for 25/3 so will let you know how that goes. I had a free one last week (only up to 8 kHz) but I still have the hearing of a teenager up to that range (except a little...

I agree that your T seems to be mild type as you have times you can't hear it even if you try. That is a good sign. So bank on the good and positive things as much as possible. Living with T, it is important to keep our anxiety and stress level low as these will aggravate T. As for the cause of...

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes, it is not easy to pin point an exact cause of T. Perhaps it is due to one reason or a combination of more than one. There are many causes which can trigger or aggravate tinnitus including but not limited to drug reaction or side-effects from ototoxic drugs, ear...
