CrystalB, If you have time, read my thread in success stories section. I had ETD, I got rid of it, and the tinnitus as well. I suggest you to read all the pages as there is a lot of information. BTW, the nasal spray would do the job as long as you use it correcly. As per my ENT doctor's advice...

My sinus related (ETD) tinnitus went away after 5 and a half months. Most such csases resolve after some monthes. Stay possitive and resume your favorite activities as soon as you feel better.

I visited 3 ENTs after the onset. The last one was great but non of them told me "learn to live with it".

It faded slowly starting month no.3, and then completely vanished in mid March 2017. You can check my thread in the success stories section. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/my-battle-with-tinnitus-was-over.21013/

Hi Jcb, I had it for five and a half months.

I do resistance training, cardio and boxing ( not professionally, just to stay in fit).I don't have tinnitus anymore but I did train even when I had tinnitus for a period of six months excluding the first two months after the onset.

ETD caused by ear wax impaction.

I got lucky. Mine stopped at 6 month mark.

The home theatre Dolby Atmos track featuring in Mad Max Fury Road is insanenly loud at reference levels that I used to play normaly in my Atoms/DTS:X enabled HT. Even the core of Atoms track ( TrueHD 7.1 ) which I assume you had listened to, was pretty loud. You should have noticed this at the...

That was what I had, Bill. It was like the air being released from a tire.

Have positive hope, Mathew. It happened to me. My tinnitus stopped at 6 month mark after having ETD caused by a huge ear wax build. Since you haven't abused your ears by exposing to loud noise through in ear earbuds/headphones etc., chances of your tinnitus either fade away or stop is pretty...

Agreed. I had ETD. I cleared up my tubes, the tinnitus gradually subsided and eventually went away after 5 and a half months.

I believe in habituation and it really exists. My senior manager (66 years old) has been having tinnitus for more than ten years, and he is habituated to the point where he does not even know he has it.

Hi Ardwordin, RB2014 and fishbone have given you great advice. I had ear wax impacted tinnitus and ETD. It took good 6 months to go away. May be I got lucky. I was in total hell in the first 2 months. Your tinnitus is so new, hang in there. It will take at least 3 months to see some...

I had tinnitus for 6 months, and I dyed my hair at least 4 times during that period. No reaction. But hey, please note that my tinnitus did not react to anything such as food, drinks or loud sounds.

I am not suffering from tinnitus anymore. Please read my thread below. Full story is there, and it answers all. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/my-battle-with-tinnitus-was-over.21013/

I had a huge crusted wax build up which caused me ETD. When I visited my ENT doctor, he sprayed something into my ear and asked me to wait for a few minutes. Then, he removed half of the wax by a hand tool and prescribed me ear drops, and asked me to come back after one week. I went back after...

The biggest difference might be price, since the effectiveness is virtually the same. Never used Flonase though.

Used Nassonex for 3 months daily, no issues. My tinnitus stopped in the end.

Nope. I never used AVC but I posted 2 pictures of it. At first I avoided coffee, salt and cheese but later found out that my tinnitus was not reacting to anything. No matter it was food or other external sound such as fire alarms , subway , movie theaters etc.

Hi anusha, Five and a half month after the onset. I woke up one day in mid March 2017 and realized that the hissing was not there anymore.

Your tinnitus is so new. It will take at least 3~4 months to get to the point where you start to ignore it. Hope it will not last that long for you. I felt much better after passing month number 3.

This is the reason I still stick around here in this forum. Sometimes people do need help. Read my thread and follow up answers to many questions in success stories section. I had tinnitus as a result of ETD, got rid of it and the tinnitus as well...

Yes indeed. It can happen. I am enjoying complete silence after six months of on and off but continuous hissing.

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...

Thanks, Bill. I got it now.

Hi Dginobile, First of all, I am sorry for your suffering. I didn't quite understand the last phrase of your post. Can you elaborate on that? Thank you.

First of all, don't let your ENT to syringe your ears as this would most probably make your tinnitus permanent. Instead, ask him to do it manually like my ENT did. If your tinnitus is caused by a wax build up, chances of recovery is pretty high but it will take a very long time. So, prepare for...

Both Nasonex and Flonase are steroids and belong to the same family. Nasal sprays might help you as your tinnitus is from allergies. Keep in mind that it will take at least 3 months to see some improvement. 6~12 months or even longer to fully fade or disappear. Hang on.

Hi Bill, The website that I found the picture says, "Just keep in mind that you should never drink apple cider vinegar straight as it can burn your esophagus. Instead, mix one tablespoon with 8 ounces of water. If you don’t like the taste, use a straw to minimize contact with your taste buds...

Anusha, A bit of advice to you. Now that you have shared your experience here, forget about you had tinnitus, most importantly stop listen for it, leave this forum and get on with your life. You might ask why I am still lurking in this forum even after recovering from tinnitus. That is because...

Nasonex was the spray prescribed by my ENT. I used it daily for 3 months, and that cured my tinnitus.

Should be this one.

Hi Mike, It's okay. Check the below link. I have written down the whole story. Hope you will recover soon! https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/my-battle-with-tinnitus-was-over.21013/

Congrts, Jason. Mine cleared up in 6 months. Staying busy with daily activities will definitely pave the way for getting rid of this debilitating condition.

Hi Irish, Nope. It wasn't the balloon procedure. It was the Nasonex nasal spray that did the trick for me. Did you read my tinnitus story in the success stories section? If not, please read as I have written down my battle from start to finish with answers to many questions raised by fellow...

Please note that I am writing this based on my experience. I never wore ear plugs during the period I had tinnitus as my tinnitus did not react to anything such as loud sounds, salt, coffee and sugar etc. I even saw the movie "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk " in December last year without...

Hi ajith, I am sorry to hear your suffering. Unfortunately, I haven't met anyone with similar condition like yours. Be positive. You might get away from your tinnitus as time goes by.

Hi alleycat, If you don't have accumulated hearing loss or long term abuse of ears by exposing to loud sound, and your tinnitus is due to other issues such as TMJ, ETD, neck etc., There is a pretty high chance of clearing up once the underlying issues are treated. Even after the right...

Last Friday evening we had an old classmate gathering at a restaurant. We had not met for 30+ years. Everyone was very excited and a lot of noise was there as people were singing Karaoke. Just before starting the Karaoke contest, I saw one of my old mates sitting right in front of me putting on...

After removing wax, the high pitched tone got quieter and became a hiss, and continued/ stayed like that for another 3~4 months and eventually it completely stopped.

I had a huge wax buildup which was partially removed by my ENT using a tool manually, then he prescribed me ear drops for a few days which cleared up my ears.

If Valsalva is dangerous, my ENT wouldn't have advised me to do it such number of times a day in the first place. I initially had difficulty doing it but once the fluid from the spray starts to flow through the tubes, it became easier. I don't think doing it gently would do any harm.

Hi Luman, I did not read all of your previous posts before this one. I have one question, didn't your ENT do a tympanogram to check your middle ear pressure. I am asking because you said you were not 100% sure but you believe your tinnitus is caused by clogged ETs. If that is an assumption, I...

Actually, if you do Valsalva gently, it should help greatly, at least it did for me. I am writing down my experience here. As per my ENT's advice, I did Valsalva everyday for more than 4 months 20-30 times each hour throughout the day right after using the nasal spray. It cleared my Eustachian...

I have a friend of mine whose tinnitus lasted nearly 5 months due to a sinus infection. Don't listen for it or check the volume, and stay away from silent rooms.

Hi Luman, You are right. We can not simply put blame on ENTs. I specially don't agree with some members calling them useless. ENTs are not trained to treat tinnitus as there is not known cure available to date. In that case, it is pretty normal for them to ask patients to live with it. As we...

Only my 3rd ENT correctly identified my ETD. I got my tubes cleared, and bye bye tinnitus.

Hi Ivan, ETD means "Eustachian Tube Dysfunction" . That was the most probable cause of my tinnitus. Read my thread in the success stories. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/my-battle-with-tinnitus-was-over.21013/

Not only sex, everything, I mean everything that I loved to do came to a full halt in the first two months after the onset. Home theater (main hobby) sex, boxing, motorcycling, computers, movie theaters, weekend gathering with friends.... you name it. But after learning that my tinnitus was due...

I had very heavy wax build up. My ENT first removed half of it and ask me to use ear drops for another week . And then, the second time he completely removed it. He used manual method both times. He is pretty old in his 60s.

Thanks for your reply. I hope/think it will subside gradually as that was only a one time exposure.

Hi Theater Ringing, Sorry for what you are going through now. Out of curiosity, what movie made you suffering from tinnitus?

I had my tinnitus gone for 1~2 days sometimes in the last 3 months during the period I had tinnitus.
