Hello, I am 15 years old and am going to need to extract my wisdom teeth in a year or less. I am very worried about the drill they use and if it may worsen my tinnitus due to the loud noise so close to your ear. Also, I have heard stories of developing tmj from wisdom tooth extraction due to...

Hello, 15 year old with tinnitus from Los Angeles! It's super hot here, but feel free to contact me if anyone visits!

My 2nd ent (who is the chief of surgery at my hospital) suspected cochlear hydrops causedby standing next to a loud speaker at a concert back in April. He put me on a diuretic which helped me the first few days but my full feeling in my ears has gone back to how it was before. I saw him the...

I am 15 years old and I am the only student wearing ear plugs during fire alarms, assemblies, school concerts, etc. People often stare and get the gut to ask me why I am wearing them. I just say that I damaged my ears at a concert and don't want to create any further damage. Being the only kid...

I went to an amusement park recently while wearing 32 db foam earplugs. I was completely fine but I kindly asked my friends to refrain from screaming too much, so many do that. I have had fullness in my ear since my acoustic trauma and the ear plugs were fine on the rollercoaster. Although, I...

I am planning on getting another opinion, thank you. He said I might have cochlear hydrops which is basically early stages of Ménière's in which it doesn't effect the balance part of your ear. Not sure if this is true, but we'll see

Hello! I went to a very loud concert back in April and was standing right next to a speaker for over an hour. I then noticed that I got severe tinnitus. Thankfully, it calmed down to the point where it is now mild. But, my ears are blocked and I always have pressure in my ears since that day. I...

I have the same thing except it's usually on the right side of my head/ear. I don't swallow or yawn etc when it happens.

I have anxiety from tinnitus. It isn't so severe that I need anti anxiety medication but it definitely affects my life greatly

I am so sorry that you underwent such a traumatic experience with your T. Why did you cancel your trip? I have a trip in a week and am nervous for the flight and my T and ETD , but have been advised to take decongestants, afrin, and use ear plugs.

Thank you for your response. Sorry I did not mention earlier, but I also developed a lot of ear fullness after my concert and after developing tinnitus. My doctors suspect Eustachian tube dysfunction. I am popping my ears to try get some relief from the fullness, not the tinnitus. I do not do...

What if I just pop it my moving my jaw or swallowing?

Why is that? My ent told me to perform the valsalva maneuver at least ten times a day, but I haven't as I heard that that could be harmful. I have just been opening my jaw and swallowing as much as possible which pops my ears

I developed tinnitus almost 2 months ago from a loud concert. I got used to the ringing sound, but recently it has become a hissing sound. I can hear the hissing over the tv and it is more noticeable than my usually tinnitus. I am not sure if this could be related, but I have been popping my...

Hello, I am 15 years old and have had tinnitus for almost 2 months now. I got it from a very loud concert. Over the months, the volume has decreased a lot but is still very much there. I also developed a constant feeling of ear fullness, jaw pain, popping, etc. Every doctor I have seen says that...

Thank you for your response! It still hasn't gone down and the volume and pitch is still fluctuating. I almost feel deaf in my left ear. I have tried decongestants, inhaling steam, steroids, etc. but nothing seems to get rid of this full feeling. I'm scared that this is sudden hearing loss...

Hello, I am 15 years old and it is currently midnight where I live. I was just about to fall asleep when my left ear started ringing really badly. I got tinnitus over a month ago from a very loud concert. The volume went down substantially after the first week and I thought it was getting...

Hello! I have had tinnitus for over a month now most likely due to loud noise at a concert. Since then, I have had Eustachian tube dysfunction. I am currently on prednisone to open up my tubes, but it is not working. I experience mild tinnitus, hyperacusis (I hear sounds louder and I'm always...

I have blue/green eyes

I have had tinnitus for over a month now from an acoustic trauma. I also developed mild Eustachian tube dysfunction. My doctor prescribed me a small dose of prednisone for a week for the ETD, but last night I noticed that it helped with the volume of my tinnitus . I could barely hear it even in...

I only hear my tinnitus in a quiet room, but when I put ear plugs in, I cannot hear anything but the ringing. That's why I only wear them when I am exposed to loud noises so that I won't hear my tinnitus. For example, I just went to a theme park with my friends and popped my 32 dB ear plugs in...

Hi, I am 15 an new to tinnitus. I have noise induced tinnitus from a loud concert for over a month now. The ringing is only noticeable in quiet places, but I was sitting down with my friend and all of a sudden my right ear went almost deaf and the ringing was very high pitched and noticeable...

I'm 15

Is it okay if I have an hpv shot with tinnitus. I believe it is ototoxic, but I already had the first shot before the onset of my T and am due for another. Is it okay? The shot is to prevent hpv and the vaccine is known as gardasil

I am going on a 24 hour flight in a few weeks and I'm also relatively new to tinnitus. I am planning on wearing foam ear plugs (32 db) through out the flight and maybe even muffs on top. Although, I am scared that this would make my ears hyper sensitive due to wearing them for so many hours. So...

Hi, I am 15 years old and have tinnitus from a loud concert and mild Eustachian tube dysfunction. I've posted before about flying, but have a few more questions . I am going on a 24 hour flight to South Africa in a few weeks. Sadly, I am seated next to the wing (where the engine is) so it's...

Could have contributed**

I got ear fullness after my acoustic trauma. Although, I had a very small cold which oils have contributed. It's been over s month and still not gone. When I asked my doctor he said that some people report a full feeling after acoustic trauma, but it is very unlikely

No spikes? Did you use any protection?

How's the flight with T?

Trust me, I understand. I have a 24 hour flight in a few weeks and don't know what I'm going to do with this blocked feeling in my ears and tinnitus. I plan on protecting them with noise cancelling head phones, but it is causing me great anxiety. I'm glad your T is down! I got tinnitus from...

Mine is in both. I don't have any fluid , but fluid can build up behind one of your ears I believe. If you haven't already, just make sure sure you have an audiologist do a tympanogram

I have had mild Eustachian tube dysfunction for over a month now. My doctors say that it is from my previous cold. Have you been sick recently? They prescribed me prednisone and did a tympanogram on me. If your ears feel blocked or like there is pressure, there could be fluid behind the eardrum...

Hello, I am 14 years old and I was diagnosed with intracranial hypertension. Not all of your symptoms point to you having this, but I would make sure your doctors really take a good look at your MRI to make sure cerebral spinal fluid isn't building up. 2 years ago, I was not seeing right. I saw...

Okay thank you.

Okay thank you so much! Is it okay that I am right next to the wing? I couldn't get any further up. Also noise-reduction or noise cancelling headphones? Do you have any recommendations? Sorry, I am really nervous as tinnitus and Eustachian tube dysfunction is new for me and this is my first...

Thank you for your response! What's wrong with wearing ear plugs for a while? And are noise reducing headphones the only relatively safe option to be able to watch movies or listen to music on the plane? Yes, it is a long flight although I have a layover in London for an hour, so I basically...

I left the concert and had very muffled hearing. In fact, I could barely hear. I did not notice the tinnitus in the car or outside or the concert. The second I stepped into my quiet hotel room (around an hour later) I heard the extreme ringing. I didn't think too much of it and just went to bed...

I have a 24 hour flight to South Africa in one month. I currently have manageable tinnitus and mild Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). I plan on wearing musician ear plugs and muffs. The problem is, what am I going to do to distract myself from my tinnitus on the plane? I don't want to watch...

Got the same thing today in geometry class.. very scary

Hahah yes, but I am going with my mom to visit family

A month ago, I got tinnitus from a loud concert. It is manageable now, but my biggest problem is my blocked ears. I developed mild ETD after a cold and was prescribed prednisone over the phone. Now that I saw an ENT, he recommends that I don't take it as the pressure/blocked ears should go away...

Hello, I am 14 years old and I developed tinnitus a month ago from a loud concert . I also have mild ETD from a previous cold. I have a 24 flight to South Africa in less than a month and I am petrified for the feeling of blockage/ pressure in my ears to get worse due to high altitudes. I was...

I asked my ent a similar question and all I got was "you never know when there is going to be a loud noise in the world so I cannot help you prevent it". I have not had this experience but my school has frequent fire drills/false alarms. They are EXTREMELY loud and they don't turn off until...

Sorry I am new to this app... what musician ear plugs do you recommend? Also, should I wear noise cancelling headphones over them?

@Jkph75 I have had tinnitus for a month now due to standing next to a speaker at a concert for less than an hour. I also developed mild Eustachian tube dysfunction in which my doctor says is due to my previous cold. I still have blocked ears though. My hearing test is normal and so is my...

I used a neti pot to get rid of my blocked ears and now I am in a bit of pain. My ent said that the water probably is stuck in my Eustachian tubes which are currently blocked due to my previous cold. I am thinking of taking a small dose of prednisone for a week, although my ent said that he does...

Hello, I am 14 years old and I have tinnitus and mild Eustachian tube dysfunction. I booked at 24 hour flight to South Africa a few months ago, but now that I developed these two conditions, I am scared. I cannot afford business or first class and those are the only seats in front on the wing. I...

I've had tinnitus for a month and I have had tinnitus in my dreams once. It was just one dream about 2 weeks ago in which I was going to a music festival and meeting celebrities when I all of a sudden heard ringing and it ruined the whole experience. It's kind of funny since I developed...

Hello, my name is Michelle and I am 14 years old. I've had tinnitus for a month now from a very loud concert. I also took diamox for a year two years ago which is ototoxic. Although, I did not develop tinnitus until the concert. I also developed ETD after the concert as I had a cold. I have...

Hello, my name is Michelle and I am 14 years old. I developed tinnitus a month ago from a very loud concert. I was also sick at the time, which contributed to my ears being blocked. I went to an audiologist who said that my hearing is very good and that my air pressure test was normal...

Thank you all so much!! I already cancelled my concert in august as I don't want to risk worsening my tinnitus even with ear plugs. I am going to ask my doctor about roller coasters, but what about a 24 flight? How does that affect tinnitus and the blockage in my ears in such high altidudes...

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am 14 years old. I developed tinnitus over two weeks ago from going to an extremely loud concert. My tinnitus has gone down a lot but is still there in quiet places and when I sleep. I also have blocked/pressure on my ears hopefully just from a sinus infection (I...

Hello, My name is Michelle and I am 14 years old. On April 8th, 2017 I went to a benefit with a concert and I stood right by the speaker for a little over an hour. I then had very bad ringing in my ears that was constant and at a high frequeny. It took me a few hours to fall asleep, but when...
