    Earwax Removal (Syringing)

    Hey Dave I don't think syringing will make your t go if it was caused by noise exposure. If there is ear wax and you get that cleared it could lower the volume of t. Prob won't cure it though. Some people have gotten t from routine syringing as well so be careful.

    What Are Signs of Earwax Impacted Tinnitus?

    I am not saying irrigation is 100 times safer than syringing. Syringing is an old method of earwax removal which can cause problems such as tinnitus. Water is administered into the ear under pressure. Ear irrigation is much more gentle. I have variable tinnitus which can reach severe levels. I...

    But stop using the drops anyway. Agree with @Stacken77, you would only need to use this product if you were getting "syringing" or "microsuction" done; which you don't want anyway. If you're going to soften the wax, soften it with olive oil, and get a manual removing done by an ENT (which...

    Retigabine (Trobalt, Potiga) — Petition to the ATA

    Hey @Charburchar. Yeah, most of it's been covered. Probably avoid the Tympanometry, and of course if they offer syringing or micro-suction: that's a no.

    Sudden Low Frequency Hearing Loss??

    The decibel level of the ear syringing largely depends on the width of the tip. A wide tip is much quieter than a thin tip and that could be used. It looks like you have an ear wax impaction if the doctor is unable to see your ear drum. You need to get it fixed unless you want the tinnitus to...

    I opted for micosuction and paid £60 for it myself rather than get the practice nurse to do syringing. Both can cause tinnitus but I felt microsuction was less likely to cause tinnitus. It didn't worsen it thank god. The thing about syringing is that it can move the eardrum which I'm convinced...

    Well I didnt do ear syrnging for ear wax removal but I did the caloric test which is similiar. Water is irrigated into the eardrum comes back out and viola. I think anything that involves getting water irrigated in your ear is syringing. I paid a hefty price for it. I wish I could turn back time :(

    What Will an ENT Look for in a Tinnitus Patient? What Type of Earwax Removal to Ask for?

    The best thing you can do right now is try and make sure you don't worry about it too much. From what I hear, syringing is less risky than microsuction, but still has a potential to cause problems - manual removal is preferred from what I've read, so I hope that's an option for you!
