    Omicron Infection — Did It Make Your Tinnitus Worse? Post Your Experience

    I haven't voted since I'm currently going through infection with Omicron right now. So far the ringing is same but my ears are more plugged up, and I have issues popping and some ear pain. I'll vote in a week or two after the infection is over.

    Has Anyone Recovered from Non-Severe Tinnitus?

    I took a hearing test and they said it looked really good. They noticed that one frequency I didn’t hear quite as well as others but that shouldn’t be anything to worry about. I’m unsure exactly what caused it. First time I ever noticed ringing was 7 months ago when I was sick with COVID-19...

    Why Do My Ears Crackle and Feel Full — Is This Connected to Tinnitus?
