    Can Airplane Pressure from Taking Off/Landing Cause Issues?

    Did the pressure get better after the flight? Or did it last for a few days?

    Can Airplane Pressure from Taking Off/Landing Cause Issues?

    Why no earplugs for descent? I thought descent is the most important part to wear EarPlanes, to equalize the pressure?

    Can Airplane Pressure from Taking Off/Landing Cause Issues?

    Ok no worries, appreciate the insight anyways. Would noise canceling BOSE headphones be a good idea? I've seen mixed opinions on that in the forum.

    Can Airplane Pressure from Taking Off/Landing Cause Issues?

    I'm not too concerned about stress, more just want to make sure nothing physical from the pressure. Since my ear clicks a lot, makes me feel maybe the Eustachian tube could have an issue? And taking off/landing usually affects the eustachian tube, no? As long as I know I'm doing what I'm...

    Can Airplane Pressure from Taking Off/Landing Cause Issues?

    My tinnitus is from a toxicity issue, so it comes and goes depending on my situation. Not noise induced. One ear. But that ear also feels full at times, and clicks a lot. Can the pressure from taking off/departing cause issues? Will wearing EarPlanes be enough? Or anything else I need to do...

    No Tinnitus in the Morning — Why Is That?

    Is there a way to up the chances if it going away? Besides obviously protecting ears from loud noises + curcumin

    No Tinnitus in the Morning — Why Is That?

    Like I was telling DigitalDoc, I think it's toxic exposure related. Still going to protect ears during the process. Is there anything else I can do? Also, does the ear clicking/popping pretty much whenever I try to mean anything?
  19. Joshua12345

    No Tinnitus in the Morning — Why Is That?

    I went to the ENT, he said it looked fine. Nerve looked good. No hearing loss. I am dealing with other health issues in regards to toxicity/exposure I had. It could be from detoxing from that? Idk.

    No Tinnitus in the Morning — Why Is That?

    So my left ear was full and started ringing a few weeks ago. Thankfully it went away. Then a few days ago, it came back. Recently, in the morning it's not there. I plug my ears, don't hear any ringing. Than a few hours later it would come back and last until the night when I fall asleep. Hoping...

    How to Accurately Check How Loud Your Tinnitus Is?

    Thankfully the ringing I had wasn't too bad, but now that it's gotten better, I'm having trouble figuring out if it's there or not. Sometimes I hear something, but not sure if it's ringing or some sound in the room. I try plugging my ears and feel like I hear it, but maybe I'm just looking for...

    Ringing Ear... Is Now Red and Hot... Related?

    So my left ear has been the one that was full and ringing. Thankfully the ringing has MOSTLY gone away in the last couple days. Still feels full. But now today, the earlobe is red and very warm to the touch. Is this normal? Is this the oncoming of an ear infection? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Best Treatment for Eustachian Tube Inflammation/Clogging?

    Is Flonase a corticosteroid? I was prescribed it. But I have some other issues I'm dealing with related to immune system, so steroids (which suppress the immune system) might not be a great option. Not sure :/

    Best Treatment for Eustachian Tube Inflammation/Clogging?

    Yeah he didn't diagnose mucus or anything. He just put a camera up my nose, said no infection, but I should take Flonase and Mucinex D. Not sure why

    Best Treatment for Eustachian Tube Inflammation/Clogging?

    How much Eucalyptus would you put? I did that once with Tea Tree oil, but only did like 4 drops because Tea tree is strong. But I'm guessing I'd put a lot more for Eucalyptus?

    Best Treatment for Eustachian Tube Inflammation/Clogging?

    Was prescribed Flonase and Mucinex D, but not sure how those would help. ENT said my hearing is perfect, no fluid, no infection, but it could be ET inflammation. Left ear clicks/pops a lot this past week and feels a bit swollen. Is the Flonase/Mucinex D a good idea, or do you guys know a...

    If You Could Go Back to Week 1 of Your Tinnitus, What Would You Do Differently?

    Left ear only. It’s like a high pitch frequency eeeeee. Like if u were next to a TV or something electronic. One ENT said I have a sinus infection, going to another one this week to confirm that and check the ear. But I’ve had the infection for months I THINK, the ringing only for 1 week so idk....

    I Hear a Thumping Heartbeat When I Put My Ear Against the Pillow — Do I Have Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    Do you think it's like a warning sign of tinnitus? Or does that not make sense. Since you got it before the ringing

    Best Anti-Inflammatory / Alternative Treatment for EARLY Tinnitus?

    It's also ringing/fullness in left ear, but yeah that could explain the heartbeat to pillow. Or maybe both are related? Going to see the ENT soon so I'll find out how helpful he is. How would an allergist be helpful in this regard?

    I Hear a Thumping Heartbeat When I Put My Ear Against the Pillow — Do I Have Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    When I put either ear to the pillow, I hear a thumping heartbeat in the ear. When I push my LEFT ear lobe to my ear, I feel my pulse. Same with under the ear. Also if I push on my left eyebrow. Is this pulsating tinnitus? I have a ringing in my left ear, which is what brought me to these...

    Thanks for the comment man. I was reading that prednisone is for noise/trauma related T. Would it work for me if it's Sinus/Ear infection related? Heard it has bad side effects, but if it fixes the T it'll be worth it. ALSO I went to an Infrared Sauna on Day 2 of the ringing (detoxing from...

    If You Could Go Back to Week 1 of Your Tinnitus, What Would You Do Differently?

    Thanks for the reply. I know what you mean, but since it isn't noise-induced, I'm hoping maybe I can nip it in the bud. I see some people say steroids like predisone can work to stop it in first couple weeks but not after that. Or other stuff

    Going to ENT — Mild Ringing/Sinus Infection — What Should I Ask the Doctor? Any Precautions to Take?

    The first ENT I went to said I had a sinus infection, and that my ear stuff would clear up once I fix that. She prescribed "Augmentin875". Not a huge fan of antibiotics. She also didn't use an endoscope to check my nose, just sprayed something and quickly looked up. So I'm going to a new one...
