    Has anyone experienced louder tinnitus associated with an ear infection or a sinus infection? I have been dealing with tinnitus for almost two years now and it seems to have gotten louder in my right ear. It’s high pitched. My ears were clogged and hearing muffled until I started antibiotics...

    Hello Tinnitus Talk, I developed tinnitus back in April of 2018 and I must say that I feel like my tinnitus is getting better. Better to the point where I sleep in absolute silence.

    Confused — Tinnitus Since June 2018, Pressure Comes and Goes in Left Ear, Sensitivity to Sounds, etc

    @Stocktrader86 There are times when I feel like my Tinnitus is silent, until I get into a quiet room or plug my ears and then I hear it. Like you, I stand up sometimes and it almost feels like my hearing decreases and I get intense pressure in my ears for a few seconds and then it fades away...

    Confused — Tinnitus Since June 2018, Pressure Comes and Goes in Left Ear, Sensitivity to Sounds, etc

    Sounds like it could be Eustachian Tube Dysfuntion. Your story sounds VERY similar to mine. Mine started once night as I was recovering from a sinus infection back in the beginning of April. Next thing, I began to hear hissing noises in my ear. That leads to today. I still have hissing noise in...

    Habituation or Disappearing?

    @newbieT Interesting. What's unfortunate is that mine comes with clogged ear sensations! I wonder is its the cause. Mine started back in April when I got sick and my ears clogged up one night. Then all of this mess started and never stopped despite days where my ears don't feel clogged at all!

    @Tom Cnyc Thank you for that Tom, I needed it! It did quiet down yesterday evening and then over night I had a constant e noise in my left ear which woke me up out of my sleep and then today everything seems a lot lower. I guess yesterday was just a hot mess for my ears. I need to remind...

    Habituation or Disappearing?

    @Tom Cnyc I felt that way about my t until today! I wish that was the case. Today, my right ear is going crazy! The hissing noise is loud as ever and constant. I am not sure what happened overnight. I think the weather is causing me to have this hissing spike in my right ear today.

    @New Guy I’ve had mine for three weeks now. I get the high pitch eeee noise then it shifts to static inside my head. This happens throughout the day. Then it’ll be silent when I don’t pay attention. It repeats itself throughout the day. Hopefully we are in the road to recovery???
