    Nervous About MRI

    @GregCA Grr I wish I would have checked this before I ate lol. Within the past month and a half I havent noticed any spikes from food but I’ll be more mindful of that next time.

    Nervous About MRI

    Mri was a success, I should get the results in a few days. My T does seem a little louder but I’m sure it will go back to normal by tomorrow. I’m super high from the meds and all I want is some Chinese food and a nap lol.

    Nervous About MRI

    I’m trying to not get worked up about it , the doctor now thinks my T is from my issues with my jaw so I really need it looked at. From what I’ve read some people have had spikes after but it went away within a couple hours. I’m holding myself back from reading the bad stories online though lol.

    Nervous About MRI

    Last week they gave me foam earplugs and put muffs on my ears , I think part of my spike might have been from me being so anxious, I literally had a panic attack while having it done and they had to pull me out 10 minutes early.

    Nervous About MRI

    I have an MRI tomorrow for my jaw, my ears have been plugged for two months and I can’t really open my jaw so I know this MRI is needed but I’m freaking out. I tried to get one last week but the noise freaked me out and I left, I did have a little spike for a couple hours but it faded, I even...

    My Tinnitus Is Constantly Changing

    Hey everyone I’m back and I wish there was a better reason why. I got tinnitus about a month ago and it has been changing every couple of days. It started in my right ear and now it in both. The pitch, volume and sound keeps fluctuating, I have been getting new highs but also new lows. I’m...

    Silence finally !! Well kinda, the ringing only comes at night (weird I know) but for the past couple days it’s been silent, I’m so thankful

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    Update: I stopped taking the meds and we are figuring out a different plan. The intensity of the ringing went down after 2/3 days. The ringing has gotten higher pitched this past week almost to the point of me not being able to hear it. I forgot it was there for a couple days. I hear it now...

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    @Bill Bauer This whole ordeal has caused me so much anxiety, I’m scared of new meds, foods, even small sounds like the fan being on. The intensity has gone from a 2 to a 4 and it’s way more bothersome. It just feels like every time I feel okay something gets worse. I’m calling my ENT tomorrow to...

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    @Bill Bauer it actually started two days ago, both times were at night and it went away in the morning when I woke up so I thought it was the tv or something . I took two pills today and it started again after I took the second.

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    I didn’t want to create another thread for this but I’m a little anxious right now, I started taking prednisone today for my inflammation and a couple of minutes ago I was sitting at my desk doing homework and it sounded like someone turned an old tv on. I plugged my ears and it’s clearly coming...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    Hey everyone, I got tinnitus from taking Levaquin and it’s very mild. I also have inflammation and got a low dose of prednisone to help. I’m just wondering if prednisone could cause my tinnitus to get worse?

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    Happy update: Well I went to the ENT today and finally got some answers, the fullness in my ear is from TMJ which I now have an antibiotic for. I also learned that the other antibiotics I was on previously were kid doses and didn’t even have a chance at helping. As for the tinntus she believes...

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    @leledany It started 2 days after I finished a medication that I didn’t know was oxotoxic. I’ve never had tinnitus before this so I’m just guessing that it came from the medication. It could be mild or moderate I don’t teally have any background in this.

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    @attheedgeofscience It might not be , it’s mainly just when I lay on my right side which is how I normally sleep. I’m just glad it’s not blaring 24/7. I guess the best thing to compare it to is a refrigerator hum. It’s annoying but It’s not going to ruin my day.

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    So I have calmed myself down and came up with a plan. My tinnitus is in both ears and in my right there is a higher tone along with the lower. At night I have been using a fan because it is too hard to try to sleep without it but today I have sat in complete silence. No fan or tv. There is a...

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    @GregCA For the first week or two I felt them but after a month I forgot about them completely. When I sit there and think about it I do notice them a bit but it is just “normal” at this point.

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    @leledany When I was growing up I got a lot of ear infections and as a little kid I was scared I was going to go deaf. No one in my family has issues like this so my parents always protected my ears and when given the choice to go to a concert or for example go play mini golf I always chose the...

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    I’m just trying to remind myself that things will only get better but waiting is so hard. It’s especially bad at night when I’m all alone with only my thoughts. Growing up I could literally be the poster child for ear care, I never go to concerts or movies, I leave places if it’s too loud, I...

    My Tinnitus Is My Fault, I Feel So Hopeless

    So I have posted on here that I think my sinus infection caused my tinnitus until I found out today that I don’t have an infection anymore. I was on Levaquin for my infection and I think that is what caused it. As soon as I google it a million things come up. It is still a mild ring that can...

    Will It Go Away? I Only Hear It in Complete Silence or When I Plug My Ears

    Update: Good news is the sinus infection is gone but that still doesn’t explain the fullness and pain in my ears and face or the ringing. I started to worry and I could tell the ringing was getting louder so I’m trying to just lay down and relax. It’s been almost a month of feeling sick and I...

    Will It Go Away? I Only Hear It in Complete Silence or When I Plug My Ears

    @w-drak Im trying to keep busy , it’s just difficult because of the infection, I just want to lay in bed. The ringing is manageable and I could definitely get used to it if it stays but I obviously don’t want it to. The more I think about it the louder it gets. I keep reading stories about...

    Will It Go Away? I Only Hear It in Complete Silence or When I Plug My Ears

    Just wanted to thank everyone again for the advice, my infection feels worse today so in return the ringing is a little louder. I’m sure once the infection is gone it will fade. I’m trying to stay distracted, I’ve always been a worrier so this has been a little difficult. I think some of it is...

    Will It Go Away? I Only Hear It in Complete Silence or When I Plug My Ears

    Update: looks like my new meds isn’t working for my sinus infection, I have been stressed all day and I don’t know if the ringing is worse or if I’m focusing on it too much. Ive had moments even in the quiet where I was distracted and I didn’t hear it but now that I’m stressed it seems more...

    Will It Go Away? I Only Hear It in Complete Silence or When I Plug My Ears

    Thank you everyone for your advice, I have spoke with my doctor and there is a bigger chance that this will go away than stay but if it does stay I’m sure I’ll get used to it. While having this I have learned that both of my parents and my boyfriend have pretty loud tinnitus caused by noise...

    Will It Go Away? I Only Hear It in Complete Silence or When I Plug My Ears

    Hey everyone, to start things off I’d like to say that I don’t take any meds that cause tinnitus, I never expose myself to loud noise and my headphones are never higher than a quarter of the way up volume wise. I’ve had many ear infections and sinus infections my whole life but this is the...
