I think it's particular frequencies that bother me. Tomorrow is D-Day anyway for syringing. We'll see if it makes it better or worse. Hopeful for better, prepared for worse. The olive oil has made the wax feel like a plug in my ear now!

Many clinics that remove earwax by syringing or microsuction fail to tell clients to use eardrops, 3 times a day for 7 to 10 days before having the wax removed. They are running a business and only in it for the money. Next time use eardrops in the manner I've suggested.

If your ears are truly occluded or impacted with cerumen, then it is advisable to have it removed - but I am not a fan of syringing, which is a blind procedure. Rather, cerumen removal should be done using the proper instruments under direct vision by an experienced audiologist or ENT. A...

Acoustic Reflex, VEMP, Ecog, Tympanometry, Microsuction, Ear syringing, Caloric Test, etc are all to be avoided.

Have heard of syringing causing T but have not heard of this technique that you describe. I don't think it would be the noise that has given you T more than likely the procedure itself may have damaged something inside your ear. But I could be wrong.

Caloric and Vemp..still struggling my friend.

This looks like a very good way to remove ear wax, and it appears to be safe, I thought that I would share this with you. It's safer than suction, or syringing... Check out the video. Louie Quietatnight https://www.bulbhead.com/smart-swab.html

...and ask whether they have any products containing meclizine, used for motion sickness. And yep, my tinnitus originated solely from ear syringing. I had no ear infection, and the syringing itself wasn't loud enough to cause tinnitus. It's possible the syringing was administered wrong and...

Be very, very careful about syringing your own ears. Several people on this forum got their tinnitus, or made their exisiing T worse, with syringing. Actually, sticking anything small deep inside your ear canal (including a Q tip) can lead to damage or an ear drum perforation. Doctors will tell...

...people with tinnitus, it can be quite loud. The ENT I see now used a hand tool to clear earwax out and told me he doesn't like suction or syringing in general, and won't perform it on people with hearing loss, tinnitus or noise tolerance problems. I had a syringing once that was pretty loud...

I am back from the doctors! I can hear EVERYTHING now, the ringing is gone!!! she told me the ringing could still be there for 24 hours because of the syringing but so far there is no ringing (keeping fingers crossed) My ears do hurt though from loud sounds.

Thank you for answering @attheedgeofscience ! I said the same thing... That it was ear syringing but he didn't thought of it so... Do you think prednisone might help? Both of my ears are a bit swollen and apparently had no signs of infection. I'm hoping it goes away soon

...earwax due to the local humid climate. I frequently use cotton buds to clear my ears with great care. It's much safer than doing ear syringing and microsuction that made the tinnitus and hyperacusis worse. 4. I went to the library frequently and read a lot. It was my only safe haven. The...

I guess the syringing was just the last push giving me T. I just had too much noise in my life. (loud music on headphones, metal detecting beeps on headphones, going out in clubs) I also had a disco/club T for one week when I was younger.

"Ear syringing" is a blind procedure; I doubt it makes much difference to the outcome whether it is carried out by a nurse or a doctor. Other than that, I would agree entirely.

...forum. I'm just 18, so I'm really worried about this. So it started a week ago in one ear, I saw a ENT doctor shortly after and they did syringing, as they found both ears were clogged. I also did a hearing test and tested fine, even with clogged ears. They only gave me oil a minute...

First onset was by ear syringing and it cause some hearing loss and I also received hyperacusis. Second onset last year did not increase hearing loss, but I did get hyperacusis. The rain therapy related to first H was natural, not by use of headphones. I don't ever use headphones to listen to...

...wondering about this myself a while back and did some research. It's also important to say you do see people who got worse tinnitus after syringing for whom it got better over time though. I emailed the author of one of the very few papers on the risks of tinnitus following the various...

Thanks mate, I have already been using ear drops for about 2 days now. So I am not advised to syringe it from the doctor?

Ear wax removal via syringing has a chance of going wrong and damaging hearing - which can result in tinnitus sometimes. http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/arti...resulting-from-cerumen-removal-procedures.pdf Tinnitus is almost always connected to hearing defecits, the root problem is a hearing...

...otherwise it can cause a lot of problems: tinnitus, ear infection, earache, vertigo, itchiness etc. Whether a person has ear irrigation (syringing) or microsuction, it is important that the earwax is thoroughly softened to enable easy removal. Olive oil/ear drops should be applied to each...

Could just be the wax, around December my ear was really blocked with wax and the tinnitus was way louder. I think i need to use some drops again because it feels like its starting to block up again. You are brave to have ear syringing though, please be careful with that.

I've had my ears syringed many times. As far as i know, warm water is blasted into the ear, but no suction is used. The wax comes out by the water agatating it. The nurse always warns me the procedure can purferate the eardrum. So syringing can certainly cause tinnitus.

24. I never imagined ear syringing could cause tinnitus. Aah, three years soon with tinnitus and I'm proven wrong. I never listened to music at loud volumes either, at gigs and concerts wore very good ear protection and I haven't been exposed to ototoxic meds, so. Sometimes it's just bad luck.

I think if I did need this to be done, I’ll do the same as you and say I will decline if syringing is the only method they use. Glad you came out unscathed Emma.

I can't believe it won't worsen it, I had it done for 3 seconds in my non T ear, and it echoed for a week and reacted to every sound, so obviously I am a bit terrified of worsening my already not so bad T, it's only been 2 months since I got it, so i have maybe a month before I can say it's here...

Ear wax removal by irrigation replaces the old fashioned technique of ear syringing. It is a far safer and more effective method of ear cleaning. It uses an electronic ear irrigation machine to remove ear wax. The machine contains a storage reservoir unit for water and a hand-held nozzle which...

...problem with this but wondering if you've tried warm olive oil in the ear canal? The itch could be excess wax but could also be an infection i.e. fungal. Can you have your doctor check your ears? I'd avoid q-tips as this will push the wax in even further. I would avoid syringing at all costs.

It was probably irrigation in this day and age. Oddly irrigation is sometimes referred to as syringing, but true syringing was a high risk procedure that has been largely abandoned, at least in the UK. Yes, earwax removal can spike tinnitus. The best thing to do is just stay calm and hopefully...

Syringing caused my tinnitus, however don't take that as definitive it will cause a permanent worsening of your tinnitus. Syringing is carried out in great numbers all over the world every day and very few end up with tinnitus or a worsening of it... From...

So what is the best method to prevent wax from building up or to get it out? I’m so reluctant to get syringing or microsuction again, yet I tend to get cerumen build up quite quickly. Using ear plugs worsens it as they push it back down the ear canal, eventually leading to an impacted plug.

right ear only, due to impacted ear wax then ear syringing. Then the use of drops (hoping i didn't have a tiny hole in my ear drum which would imply these drops getting into the middle ear) *sigh* Though sometimes i think it coming from inside my head changes all the time.

I have never used ear phones or listened to loud music... the ringing in my ears started after using cotton buds and ear syringing. So I don't think just loud sounds is the catalyst for it. Mine only started 2 days ago, but I get the feeling from reading about tinnitus, that it isn't just...

Going through the same. How are you feeling now Robert?

That is some unfortunate irony indeed. You can't blame yourself for not googling everything you are about to do. If you were, you'd probably not get into a car either. Also you'd be spending your life on google, probably googling this meta question first: "is it safe for me to spend my life...

If not micro-suction, how else could the doctor remove impacted earwax? I've seen people here say manual cleaning is dangerous too because there's a chance of slicing open the ear canal or something. Thanks for the reply.

There are some threads, that discuss this very same matter, you are addressing. Some folks, got their tinnitus due to syringing..... Also, don't worry about the future. Do your best to protect your ears. We don't know what is going to happen and dwelling on things, that have not happened...can...

@LadyDi , huh you have tried a lot of stuff. Good that you have working method for your wax issues(y) I've kinda gotten the idea that normal doctors are useless with ear problems. Some people have even gotten tinnitus from syringing on this forum :eek: @RAY thanks for advice!

Its. Ot as low as it used to be but its a lot better. How does your sound?

...also what you say is misleading. When members tell you that you are talking “shite” they aren’t wrong. @Mila9828 He is talking about syringing that is rarely used these days because of the ‘dangers’ - that don’t happen often but do occur. However it sounds like you had ear irrigation that...

Yes I will wait till then instead and just keep on loosening the wax with olive drops in the meantime.

Thanks for the article. It's a little depressing to read. I believe the syringing traumatized my ear drums, particularly in the right ear and probably caused some high-frequency hearing loss. I keep hoping for gradual improvement because I'm having more occasional good days. But, as you have...

...speakers for three-five seconds and your ear begins to tickle with a burn. Am I just going to live in isolation and wear protection everywhere I go for the rest of my fucking life? :( Fuck, I can't believe how one syringing did me in so fucking bad. Hopefully this is just a small setback.

...I experimented with cutting out caffeine, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners for a week. It made no difference. My doctors deny that syringing can cause tinnitus, even when I explain that it only started a few days after the procedure. They have no other explanation other than it is a...

Did you do an audiogram after the ear syringing.

I'm also going through the same thing, however mine was a bit better after ear syringing, it stays on a very low sound compared to a clogged one, and also easy to masked frequency. Try getting sleep with masking sounds, itll definitely make you feel better in after getting much sleep. You can do...

For those with tinnitus from syringing ears did yours got better eventually? I do not mean disappear, I would settle for it getting a bit better, because I can hear it all day... I'm getting crazy during this weekend, sitting without nothing to do, and I don't enjoy the things I used to do...

From what I am reading, no one really knows the answer. It may go or it may not, time will tell. I wish I could tell you for sure it will go away since mine is similar to yours but my infection was caused by earwax impaction that resulted in T. Maybe the syringing made it worst too.

Additionally, every audiologist I ever saw recommended this procedure to me when I told them I had tinnitus as they said syringing would make it worse. The only one who has questioned it was the one who I am currently seeing.

Very informative! Thank you so much for the response. :)

@Mark Beehre Sadly my T is due to ear syringing-the first one too. Which sucks! Thankfully I only syringed one ear due to impacted ear wax causing me pain and T. I don't have H...yet. I hope these spasms stop though, will definitely stick to ear drops in the future though for cleaning.

...for infection/wax impaction . treat infection accordingly with least ototoxic antibiotic if required eg; amoxicillin . wax removal; avoid syringing. maybe some warm castor oil in your ear. . extended audiogram . tympanogram to assess for middle ear effusion My guess you have t from...

Did you soften the wax prior to syringing?

Trauma of some sort, in my case (since it caused tinnitus), certainly I think it was. But I don't think it was excessive noise exposure. That was my point.

But our beloved patient zero Mpt got his from ear syringing i.e acoustic trauma.

...in my own ears. When it starts to build up but before it gets too bad I get it removed by private audiologist who uses Jobson horne under microscope. No syringing, no microsuction, no noise. Perfect. But only possible when wax is not impacted. Hence, I monitor wax build up with video otoscope.

...ear has since gotten much worse due to noise damage from about 15 minutes of a band I saw, despite wearing earplugs! The ringing from the syringing is now overshadowed by the new ringing in the opposite ear, bringing a whole new battle/wait/habituation road ahead if me. Now, just having the...

...or an ear cleaning before. Now all my plans have really changed and are changing.....(sigh) :( I have read of T triggered because of ear syringing, but the thing is. Is it triggering pre-tinnitus that was already there OR what damage can syringing do to the ear drum? What is it that gets...

I had my ears syringed in spring 2010 and right after that, like the moment after he was done syringing my ears I could hear the high-pitched ringing. And the second tinnitus noise, the sort of a clicking noise, I noticed some days later. It's baffled me ever since, because syringing in itself...
