    Can Ciloxan (Ciprofloxacin) Ear Drops Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    I've had an ear infection for about a month now. I was painfully aware that antibiotics could potentially make it worse, so I waited, hoping it would resolve on its own, but no luck. According to my GP, my ear canal is red and inflamed, and I need antibiotics. As he started listing the options...

    Can ENTs Actually Look Beyond the Ear Drum?

    Can ENT's routinely use like tiny camera to look past the Ear Drum and give a more detailed analysis on the current state that the ear is in without damaging anything. Obviously this would be pointless many cases, but in my case Tinnitus induced by a Tympanometry, i haven't found a single...

    "Eye Tinnitus" aka Visual Snow, oh and Tinnitus

    As my Tinnitus has started to move around my brain recently i seemed to have developed something called "visual snow", pretty much its like your field of view kind of looks like that of a movie screen, like thousands of tiny vibrating dots, after some research it seems that this little joy in...

    Does Anyone Find That Exercise Actually Helps?

    I've seen many posts around the web about people talking about how exercise can aggravate, or even cause Tinnitus. Anyone find it actually helps? For me it seems to help, i test it (in moderation because i don't want to jinx it). e.g I'll do 10-20 push ups at a time, stop and listen, and the...

    Does Tinnitus Lower in Pitch?

    I can accept (scratch that), tolerate having to live with Tinnitus, but not currently at the pitch its at. I wouldnt call it... loud, or maybe it is i dunno, but the most annoying thing is the pitch, it sounds a few db down from a Dog whistle or something. From experience does it generally...

    A Question for the Cured People (If They Are Still Around)

    When did you realise your Tinnitus was gone? Did you wake up one day to silence or did it eventually fade till it was nothing? Just curious as to what to expect if im one of the lucky ones.

    Tinnitus Cured — Then Back

    Yesterday my Tinnitus was really quiet, and i mean 1-2/10, even in a quiet room i could barely hear it only if i went looking for it with my brain.
