I'm back! The whooshing sound came back briefly and is gone again, but suddenly my high-pitched ringing tinnitus that I've had for a year and a half now sometimes is in synch with my pulse?! Is that a form of pulsatile tinnitus that cam be worrisome, or is it different since I don't hear blood...

Thank you, Tin can. I do have an update! ENT #2 examined me and said the pulsatile tinnitus, because I only hear it a few seconds in the specified scenarios, is nothing to investigate, same as ENT #1 said over the phone, but that I'm welcome to do all of the numerous tests available. I...

I heard back from my PCP (primary care provider) as we call them here in the Unitd States and he is not familiar with it but said it doesn't sound like anything of concern to him and is glad that my eye doctor ruled anything out as that would be his suggestion. I also got a call back from the...

Interesting, thanks. Do you know the cause of yours?

Thank you and thanks for clarifying! What I mean is that the couple of times I heard the whooshing in my ears was only in the situation I described which was never after or close to when I exercised. When I've been exercising and getting my heart rate way up I do not experience the pulsatile...

My resting heart rate is actually normal/low, averaging 60 beats a minute. I only experienced the pulsatile tinnitus for a few seconds a couple of times and not right after exercising. I wish I lived in the UK. I am in the US.

Thank you, but looking online at the typical symptoms it doesn't match what I'm experiencing. I did send a message to my doctor this morning. ETA: To be safe I'll also make an appointment with my ENT.

Hi all. I've had "regular" (classic? ) tinnitus for decades. About two weeks ago after I first got up in the morning and sat down on the loo, I heard blood rushing in my ears in timing with my pulse which lasted only a few seconds. I also was able to "see" a pulse in my eyes which lasted about...

Sorry you got C Diff from an antibiotic. I did as well. I also got tinnitus (high pitched) from having to take Vancomycin, oral, to treat the C Diff. My PCP insisted it was IMPOSSIBLE to get it from oral vs IV Vancomycin. Two ENTs did say it was possible (as does the fine print inside the box)...

Good news. My spike ended two days ago and I've been baseline since! I will be getting dose #2 as planned. If I spike again, maybe it will last longer but I'm trusting it too will go away.

I am aware of all of this, I was simply posting so people could view and arrive at their own conclusions since people have been referencing the VAERS data. I have nothing to prove or disprove, am simply offering my experience and concerns. This will be my last post in this thread.

Here is a link to the current VAERS data with "tinnitus" selected for all vaccines. I selected to have the details included. First, click this link: https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D8/D142F579 Next, scroll down and click "I agree." Then click "VAERS Data Search." The saved results...

He is my second opinion ENT. The first brushed off any possibility that any of the COVID-19 vaccines could cause tinnitus, and that was when I met with her before getting my vaccine. So, yes, the brush off!

It doesn't sound quite like that but close, but there hasn't been any clicking in the last 24 hours. Right now it's mostly high pitched hell. I didn't have any allergies until last year. I also have some mild sinus pressure right now.

It was a message read verbatim from him to the nurse to me and he did not share any details. I wish I could speak with him but he's booked solid like all of them where I live and he said that I don't need to be seen since the only cure is time. So time WILL cure it, maybe? How much time? Will a...

I understand and agree to a point. I have wondered in an earlier post if my tinnitus spike could be related to the high pollen/allergy season where I live. There are many variables and we are not in a controlled environment. Having said that, I just got a call back from my ENT's office. I had...

I'm not dismissing the influence and impact of hyper-focusing on tinnitus; but there are at least two distinct possible tinnitus-related vaccine reactions: 1) New tinnitus, or 2) The exacerbation of existing tinnitus. If the latter, then it would support why no one in your group has mentioned...

My tinnitus has definitely been spiking since my first Pfizer dose a week and a half ago.

I'm really starting to question getting a second dose. I've had some breaks where I think my tinnitus spike that began right after my first dose is relenting but it keeps coming back much much louder than it was prior. I had a small break today and became hopeful but it didn't last. I was in a...

Not getting enough sleep can make it worse. My husband has had severe tinnitus for over thirty years due to hundreds loud concerts. He has habituated to it 100%. I developed my high-pitched tinnitus in the fall and while he has given me hope he is now more aware of his tinnitus again because I...

I have different tinnitus tones/sounds in each ear as well as a uniform high pitched noise that sounds like it's in my head vs in a specific ear. My ENT said what I described is bilateral.

Yes, that's the percentage of all adverse reports for Pfizer so you are correct that it's even lower--much lower for people who got the Pfizer vaccine! That's not to say any of us here aren't at risk or aren't experiencing a spike (which I am right now). Also, not everyone reports it, but still...

Can you please provide a screenshot? When I combed through the data last week for Pfizer, I did not see anywhere near 25% of the people reporting mentioning tinnitus/hearing loss. ETA: I just went and looked at Pfizer data to see the number of people reporting: Tinnitus: 180 which is .69%...

He had tinnitus from COVID-19, not a vaccine. Kent Taylor, Texas Roadhouse founder and CEO, dies at 65

Unfortunately, it's louder than ever and has been since Saturday morning. However, I'm wondering if it can be related to allergies as the pollen count is very high right now? My ears have also been clicking. Seasonal allergies were never an issue for me until last fall and I've read that they...

I have unilateral hearing loss with bilateral tinnitus that sometimes is unilateral because it changes frequently. Two ENTs posed an MRI as an option but neither one think I have an AN because I have no other symptoms so I was told it's only 1% likely. I opted NOT to have an MRI despite being a...

I'd like to learn more. Can you please provide links to credible sources?

It's now been a week since my first Pfizer dose and as of today my tinnitus has calmed down since the spike that started an hour or so after the shot. I am hopeful this improvement will continue between now and my second dose.

I had my first Pfizer dose this past Friday afternoon. Less than an hour later my tinnitus spiked and it hasn't resolved yet. I had been struggling with tinnitus since the fall when I got it from Vancomycin. It DID lessen starting in January and it's been tolerable since then, until now. I...

How did it turn out? Hope you'll check back in and let us know.

Wondering how you are doing and what they found?

I've had tinnitus since my early 20s (I'm now in my 50s) but I have been picking up new forms of and reasons for it along the way. In my 20s I went to many loud concerts and after one in particular I was in the front row next to a speaker which was to my right. My ears were roaring for days...

Vicki, first I'm new to this, too. My high pitched tinnitus started just over a month ago. I totally get needing quiet and feeling distracted by it. I moved from a big city to a rural area because I need quiet, especially when I write. I've accepted that I can't always think straight when it's...

Tinnitus doesn't make you less lovely or lovable. What's hard is to love ourselves through the process, a less than lovely thing to deal with. That includes unconditional self-love, that we don't see ourselves as being "damaged" because a part of our body is or is malfunctioning. I'm finding...

From the CDC (US): What's in vaccines? One of the ingredients is "residual" Neomycin

This is interesting and gives me hope because I' a writer and right now it feels like I'll never be able to write. I've always needed total silence. Maybe I can try getting lost in writing instead of writing it off...

Xs are left ear, Os are right ear. Audiologist noted mild hearing loss on after visit summary. My ENT is concerned about the asymmetry. Since I didn't have a hearing test prior to taking Augmentin and Vancomycin it can be proven that I am a victim of ototoxicity but it seems that I would have...

It's at 25 dB (it looks like) from 4000-8000 Hz. Here is my audiogram:

Thank you for the warm welcome, reassurance and link to that discussion, Kriszti! I do seem to be recovering well from the C Diff! Lots and lots of yogurt in my diet now!

I appreciate this forum, am glad that it's here! I've had some VERY mild tinnitus most of my adult life from too many loud concerts in my 20s but it's NEVER been a continuous high-pitched ringing like I have now. In mid October I was prescribed five days of Augmentin for prophylaxis. A couple...
