It's been a long time since I posted. Years I think. I've largely habitutated to my tinnitus (twice now) and it really doesn't bother me. The anxiety around it is still a problem but it's still quite the hole to come out of. Recently however over the last 3 weeks to a month I've been having...

My tinnitus has been spiked on and off since January. The past week or so have a been a real struggle for me, especially the past two days. Suddenly it got so loud I could hear it over my white noise, over my fan, even over my music at times. I then left to see my grandparents yesterday, once I...

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes members here list a reason for their tinnitus as 'cumulative damage' by noise exposure over a long period. At the time tinnitus shows up, it may not be right after another noise exposure event. But acoustic trauma is only one of the causes of tinnitus. Perhaps I...

Popping and cracking sounds do not mean you still have ETD. Hearing a cracking noise when you swallow is quite normal and is just your Eustachian tubes opening. If it’s more crackly than normal you may have slightly more mucous due to an allergy or cold for example. But if you had a bad case of...

Try not to panic and keep positive that your spikes will return to baseline. It is easier said than done but try as humanly possible as you can. Panic will cause stress and anxiety building up and trigger the fight or flight mode of the limbic nervous system, which then will aggravate tinnitus...

Welcome to the forum. Glynis has given you great advice. It is normal that when tinnitus gets too intrusive we may have the dark thought crossing our minds. But members mostly learn to give it some time and use different strategies to help them move on. I agree that you need to see a doctor/ENT...

I have had tinnitus for three weeks now. I remember the night i noticed it. I was dealing with a sinus infection and I just so happened to go out. I jumped in my friends car who played loud music however, I had ear plugs in. Along with clogged ears that night, the hissing began. The next day...

Welcome to the forum. Sorry about your suffering with T. Since your T is so new, you can never rule out that it will fade or disappear over time. It has been said that the problem with ears will take months to settle down. So even though the ENT clears you, it may still take time for things to...

Welcome to the forum, Andrew. Sorry that you are suffering with the latest spike of the ringing. ENTs generally test our hearing and check that there is no medical issue with the ears. Beyond that, they are clueless about T generally. My ENT basically told me the only way he could stop my...

I'm glad to have found this thread as it's the only thing that is similar to what i'm experiencing.. Although I don't get any thumping/spasm sounds when i'm not hearing anything.. Certain frequencies or types of sounds cause my left ear muscle to contract/swoosh sound.. I found that I when I...

Tinnitus from what I read is often caused from the list (7) things that Michael mentions. It seems that Bill and others made some good points as well. I think vitamins and supplements may help when there's a depletion and overuse may cause a depletion of others. I will use some magnesium...

my tinnitus has never been high pitched... always like shhhhhhhhhhhhhh... The symptoms you describe really seem to be related to ETD. When my left ear cloggued in April, like I said, I went to see the doctor (not ENT)... she didn't see fluid so she assumed that the fullness must be coming...

I’m a 16 year old female. My tinnitus started 4-5 months ago after a sinus infection, followed by a brief middle ear infection. That being said, I’ve had those symptoms persist way after they were treated! My symptoms: • Tinnitus (high pitched and a low pitch hum. I only hear the latter in...

@monkey legs I understand now, thank you for taking the time. So the ear injury is not the cause of this severe T that you are struggling right now, but the sinuses problems, which is great news, because the injury sequels have been, now i can say it, impossible to fix. About the sinuses...

You and I are in the same boat it sounds like, Naus. Ten weeks ago I started hearing the ringing and a low-grade cold followed. I didn't think much of the cold but the tinnitus was loud and very annoying. My T has also fluctuated in sound throughout the time I've had it. It started in my left...

Dginobile, what I meant by the the word "fine" was that as long as someone's tinnitus is non-reactive to loud sound, it is basically okay for that individual to take a flight, goes to the cinema or be in a loud restaurant etc. without proper protection. The tinnitus that I had was ETD related...

Warm welcome to the forum, Karen. Here you are not alone as we understand the challenge of handling a new or higher level of tinnitus ringing. The initial period is the toughest. Saying that, it is helpful if you can find out the reason for the increase or spike. Above poster mentioned some...

Hey all, I am a 22 years old, and just got over a serious respiratory/sinus infection that lasted about two weeks. About a week ago, my sinuses and my ears were so congested it felt as though someone had put seashells over my ears. They finally popped a little and that got rid of the echo-like...

@Lynny I'm sorry for what you are going thru. If you do have OCD, it's not your fault. Many with OCD have had emotional and physical pain early in life. From that when anything later goes wrong and sometimes ever so slightly it becomes hard to deal with. They just want the problem, even if not...

So a few months after I got T one of my friends got it along with balance issues and headaches. Well her husband finally took her to the doctors and she got this shot of something and the doctor told her that she has a bunch of fluid in her sinuses and her lymph nodes are a bit swollen around...

Hi Everyone, So, since the end of May, I have been going through some weird "things". It all started at work one day when I got of the telephone at work (landline, not cell phone), and I started getting intermittent pain in my ear. Within 5 minutes it was constant and ended up at urgent care...

Maithe Since you have been to both ER and ENT multiple times with no results; would it be possible to get yourself to Wilford Hall (Air Force Medical Central)? I would do some research (talk to folks on this site, talk to medical professionals online) to see if there is a very likely procedure...

Hi @jessicabee, welcome to you. I am glad you posted the details about your tinnitus onset. Our cases are somewhat similar: I have had slight problems with minor ETD on and off over the years. I believe (not all of my doctors agree, but most do) my tinnitus was caused by barotrauma from a...
