Umm just get the ENT to pick out the wax using that thin metal stick thing, not loud suctioning!

...weeks ago because after work I took out my earplugs and lost some hearing in my right ear because the plug pushed wax deep in my ear canal. I've never had an issue from the syringing and from the amount of times I use my earplugs, I'll probably get it done at least once per year from now on...

...back with db meter to not go above 80db and just enjoy my life. Biggest mistake this time was to go into closed space. Bass was too massive. My T from noise damage is minimal. Barely audible at day, only in quiet rooms. My biggest T is from ear syringing/infection/ototoxic meds - its unmaskable.

...for my right ear, but are doing nothing for my left. I think there's a blockage. I might ask the doc to see if he can get it out without syringing. I had syringing done a couple years ago and it hurt a bit, but didn't cause any problems. But hearing someone got T because of it makes me...

...I never went to loud gigs since I was in my teens nor did i listen to loud music or use headphones....... So why do they never discuss this aspect of it? So frustrating! why do they never discuss that great anxiety and great ongoing stress can be a cause of it too and what about ear syringing?

...ears ie. home remedies or the general practitioner's advice which would typically include olive oil for ear wax removal. If you have a legitimate complaint over blockage, then see an ENT about it, and have it removed with fine instruments. No syringing unless absolutely necessary. My suggestion.

...wax syringed from my ear. The same thing happened last year, with the same alleviation. But this year my tinnitus did not lift with the wax syringing, and the doctor at the hospital says that I must not have the wax removed that way again. But in any case, this tinnitus has lasted longer and...

Go to an ent they are more experienced to remove wax from you're ear don't do it you're self man!

...auditory system require a fine balance between the two ears, for locating sound. I seem to recall Markku got it in one ear, due to ear syringing, but now has in both ears. (Markku...need your help here) What gets weird is when I get these fireworks/whizzers/bottle rockets every now and then.

...too, no more gigs for me! He said my ears are solid with wax though, so the first thing he's suggested doing is softening it with oil and syringing. That, he said, helps alot of folk. In other news, noted an improvement this morning, my right ear has pretty much stopped ringing, it's my...

It's hard to tell as I don't notice it during the day, it's only at night where it can cause a problem due to lack of sleep. About twice a day it gets insanely loud that it over powers everything, but it usually dies down within 10 seconds - 1 minute. It randomly spikes and I don't know why...

Have you considered homeopathic medicine? I take some pellets and drops that my homeopathic doctor prescribed me.

...I made it through June until another rough night on 6/29. I saw my primary care physician on 7/2, who told me I had a lot of earwax. After syringing and removing large chunks of earwax, there was no improvement, and it might have even worsened. It's worth mentioning that I live on four acres...

I had stress and anxiety when my tinnitus was mild and it wasn't exacerbated. I am betting money that syringing test has damaged me further. I hate saying it but caloric test did do additional damage to already damaged ears. You were right I should have not done it, the best thing to do is to...

...that don't consider your TMJ might worsen your bite. Not sure if they are trying to sell me something extra. My tinnitus came after syringing but I did put off using a nightguard for 2 years since a dentist first told me they spotted grinding so there maybe something to this TMJ thing...

In the end of the article, the author speaks about the brain "locking" in the sound. Does he mean permanent or that you are just more aware of the T? One of my fear with going around with increased T due to the wax blockage is that the brain is going to "lock itself" in the new and loud T and...

...Seeing damage on an audiogram is a sufficient but not necessary condition to having a damaged hearing apparatus. It is possible that the syringing itself caused an acoustic trauma. Several people on this board got T from syringing. Nobody can predict if it will go away or not unfortunately...

The people at Neuromod have crossed a line! ;)

...your ears during this period of vulnerability as your body is healing. You will want to avoid taking ototoxic drugs, avoid microsuction or syringing (performed when you need to clean wax out of your ears; a manual tool should be used), and not let your dental hygienist use an ultrasonic...

...talk about the closeness of the mandibular branch to the front lower dental implant. The scan shows that it also touches that nerve. I had subjective T for almost 7 years from high powered loud ear syringing which messed up my ears according to the doctors and scans talked about in this thread.

Where Did you get that? Would be good to check myself rather than having to book a gp appointed to check for wax.

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be insensitive or argumentative. I've seen you mention Tympanometry and other tests as well. All that matters is the decibel level when the sound reaches your eardrum.

exactly, but remember ear syringing is water hitting the eardrum which can damage hearing. Somewone has to scream right into your ear...Acoustic Reflex is pretty much a sound emitted INTO YOUR EAR. Here I am right now crying as I am typing this because my H and T have become unbearable. This is...

The initial episode took place 8 years ago after ear syringing. Went to ENT 3 weeks ago cause my sinuses were hurting and I had was in a spike. She removed the wax and since then its been a rollercoaster. No hearing loss but this f**** ringing that wont let up.

thank you very much i will keep you updated, is there a chance that ear syringing can damage your ear and cause permanent tinnitus?

Sounds harmless enough... Except... Quite a few are on this forum as a consequence of the syringing... Olive oil sounds harmless enough though...

...done yesterday (they thought the earwax was causing the ringing) and now I’m super scared I damaged my ear with permanent tinnitus. I will say though that I feel fine!! I can hear better actually so I’m not sure why people say it can make it worse :/ I didn’t do micro suction, I did water...

...heal quick but do the eardrums heal back to normal or become scarred from the piercings?? I'm scared of the hole not closing properly. The syringing makes me nervous as well because I have heard of people from here getting their tinnitus from syringing. I'm just wondering if I'm making the...

I don't know if that's the main cause. The same day of syringing I worked with a loud electric hedge trimmer without ear muffs, when I was helping my dad in his garden. And the neighbour of my dad also told she had a cat deterrent. I read that cat deterrents also can cause T. Before I also used...

...the sounds diminished to quite low after 5-10 minutes. From my research I think it maybe Hyperacusis. How this started because of an ear syringing is anyone's guess. I have a Audiogram on Monday and a ear doctor follow up after that. So I will keep you posted what happens. Thanks again. Peter

Can certainly vouch for that. Originally had mine due to a combination of wax and a rock concert, got shot of it with syringing. It came back for no apparent reason, now I've got a sinus infection and it's raging. Can't get it out of my head and that of course makes it infinitely worse! UK NHS...

...am now noticing a dull earache has appeared, and sounds feel 'louder'. Is this just a mental thing with me trying to hear more stuff over my T or have I got more issues? As I said on the other thread, I have earwax buildup, but I don't want to keep syringing for obvious reasons (more T!)...

...reflux. I haven't heard of ear problems as a side effect of that type of drug, but you never know.....it's possible! I hope that the ear syringing works for you, and that your problems are only due to a build-up of ear wax. If that doesn't work, maybe you could go to an audiologist to...

...Getting rid of the wax may help, and actually will help to at least some degree if your ears are blocked. I got my tinnitus from ear syringing, so make sure you tell the professional syringing your ears that you have tinnitus and that they should be extra careful. Keep us posted, and...

...tinnitus. As tinnitus is considered a VATA aggravation. Anyway, I've been recommended to go for an MRI scan by the ENT guy who did the ear syringing. I've been putting it off as I don't fancy the magnet idea and how it could affect my health in general. I don't tend to trust a lot of the...

I also have a tendancy to produce ear wax in my left ear somehow. I've had to have ear syringing done at least twice a year for the last 4 years... Before I got T, I never realized the danger of this procedure, but now I know better. I'm not about to let that happen to me anymore, so I'm looking...

I did the syringing now. There was a small piece of... well I don't know what it was... that came out. It was kind of "blackish" as the nurse said. It got washed away so I had no chance to inspect it. Well... I did try. I think there might be something either in front or behind the eardrum that...

...Since then, it stayed at that very low, unobtrusive volume, where I could only lightly hear it when I'd try to sleep. After my second ear syringing (just a month ago), it amped up to maybe 2.5-3 times the volume (I also got mild hyperacusis from that syringing). So, not sure about the root...

...another thing to say is that I recently came across two people whose T started with ear wax and got far worse after ear wax removal using syringing/irrigation (not clear which). But eventually both improved alot, one to the point where she feels the T is almost gone. So there's always a...

I used olive oil drops every day for 2 weeks prior. That’s not the problem here. For someone who is constantly warning of the dangers of headphone usage, surely you must be able to see that a noisy suction machine inserted right into the ear canal may be a bigger risk to noise induced tinnitus...

...I've had my ears syringed lots of times in the past with no problems at all but tried the microsuction as I'd read GPs no longer do syringing. While the procedure was taking place I noticed my ear blocked up, I told the person doing it but she carried on. She got a couple of pieces of...

...careful around noise and ensuring I avoid those situations. I now think a year or two to heal seems realistic. This is easier to take if the healing progressively softens the intensity of the tinnitus. Thanks again, I will provide an update after my ENT appt. next week. And Yes, no more...

...thinking I needed to get the oil past the blockage. I know this was rather silly. It was after this that the discomfort persisted until the syringing at the fox’s office cleared the excessive ear wax and the oil. I hope the next ENT can have a thorough look for possible damage. Your reply...

...while, only for it to return a few days later - more annoying than before. From then in I started noticing the crunching ear sounds when swallowing, and a ‘full’ ear feeling after running, which I did not have when I ran before the syringing. Could all this point to inflammation related...

Guess mine isn't good then. Thanks again. Hope I can fix it somehow.

When I first got tinnitus from power noise syringing, my ENT said that I have the worst case of T that she had seen in thirty years. After three and a half years it settled down to a 6/10 which was the sound of a loud microwave. At this level I went on with my life and sometimes I didn't think...

...hard not to focus on it throughout the day. The last week has been a big struggle, and of course I have been mightily upset at myself for syringing my ears. The difference in my tinnitus this time vs. the last 10.5 years is that the noise seems to be a loud, high-pitched, central head...

...but it's unlikely that this muscle caused PT alone. I would say PT is from ear irrigation. I had slight PT to the pillow when I had ear syringing as being first tinnitus onset. It took a month or so before it developed. It went away, but any ear damage other than hair cell death was never...

I have no clue how this is safer than syringing, it was INSANELY loud! also it seems to have stopped reacting to external sounds. how the heck does micro suction not cause tinnitus in the first place!

...those large syringes they mostly use in hospitals for wax removal are just with too much water pressure AND TOTALLY unnecessary even with lots of buildup. A few ear wax removal solution sessions will take care even of the worst case. some say their t got worse after syringing , NOT worth the...

Idk have you searched any threads on that method on here. I’ve began searching less and less as the constant horror stories only serve to unsettle me. I’ve only had tinnitus a little over two months and I’m trying to be optimistic something good will happen.

...worse than my bad (right) ear – a thin and very annoying high pitch tone that I can hear over most things now, as before I could not hear it over hardly anything. It's very upsetting. How long did it take for it to get better? Do you think it was because of the syringing or ear infection, or...

...oil, not the type you cook with though, you can get this from your local pharmacie that should lossen the wax after a few days. If that fails then you may need your ears syringing out by a Ent or doctor. Your pharmacie will tell you how to do the method with olive oil. Good luck wish you well.

...The only thing that comes to mind is that you have wax buildup in your ears. Some people's tinnitus goes away several weeks after cleaning their ears. If you do that, make sure they use manual tools (as some people get tinnitus after having microsuction/syringing used on them to clean the wax).

I have 3 and will need redoing soon. I am worried though, my T did not start because of dental work but rather ear syringing in the right ear. So is there a chance root canals can cause T. If so millions of people have root canals how come they don't get T? its why I'm worried and maybe its...

There you go, your past life style caused your T to eventually come out. Consider that you can still hear and do not wear hearing aids. That life will go on no matter what the challenges are. Keep the faith and continue to learn for possible solutions to T symptoms. Good luck.

...I am wondering if the normal level noises over the years has done this to me. Now my hearing is important to me as one of my hobbies is music so its not just annoying, it could eventually prevent me enjoying music. I am also wondering if the recent ear syringing had anything to do with it.
