Two weeks ago I ran into some issues with my right ear completely closing up leaving me with very muffled hearing and a pretty uncomfortable pressure feeling. These symptoms aren't new to me as I've suffered with issues equalising my ears for a while now and take a daily antihistamine and nasal...

I popped to see the GP due to fullness, slightly dulled hearing, and increased tinnitus in my right ear. After looking around he said I do have some wax covering half of my ear drum, and the inside of my ear looks a little irritated. I have no pain, swelling, or itchiness of the ear, but he said...

I had been spike free for a while but over the last couple of weeks I've been hit by two that have stuck with me and I'm struggling to find ways to cope. First spike came after a week of Flucloxacillin to treat folliculitis. I did try to avoid the medication, but nothing was helping and the...

For a while now I've suffered from tinnitus spikes caused by congestion. I take Beconase twice a day and a once a day antihistamine and this usually keeps things under control. The spikes usually last around an hour or two and fluctuate a lot with a fullness feeling. About a week or so ago I...

I've been prescribed Flucloxacillin to treat an infected wound, but I know antibiotics play havoc with some people's tinnitus. Does anyone have any experience with Flucloxacillin at all? From what I can find, it being in the penicillin class should make it reasonably safe...

This morning I woke up feeling pretty good, only to be greeted by a mild spike a couple of hours later. The spike I can live with, my ears change all the time and it is just something I'm pretty used to now. chances are tomorrow it'll be the opposite ear and a different sound :dunno: The new...

So the company I work for would like me to travel to Switzerland to meet a client, and have given me the option to either fly or go by train. I have told them about my tinnitus which is why I think they've given me the option. The train is going to be roughly 8 hours with changes in between...

So my girlfriend wants to go to start going to the cinema again which is fair enough, but I've been avoiding it just like I've been avoiding any loud places. I currently wear a pair of ACS Pro custom mould ear plugs with 17 dB filters in for times when I can't avoid noise. Would these be fine...

So for a few miles on my commute to work the local council have decided it would be a good idea to lay down those loose stone chippings instead of resurfacing the road. This means for roughly 10 minutes of my journey I've got to put up with 78 dB road noise (according to my phone), both coming...

So for around 6 months now I've had my tinnitus change almost weekly, sometimes for the better, other times for the worse. The most recent being last Thursday where I woke up with a new tone in my right ear, and again last Saturday where I now have an increased static noise in my left ear...

I have another appointment with an audiologist next week to discuss my seemingly worsening tinnitus. I'm quite a shy person and will happily sit and listen without contributing much to the conversation over fear of being wrong or sounding stupid, this is probably an unfortunate symptom of...

So I'm picking a car up tomorrow with an extremely loud exhaust. Don't worry, the exhaust isn't staying, its just unfortunate that the previous owner decided having a straight through exhaust was a good idea, and the deal is still pretty good factoring in the exhaust work... Anyway, I need to...

I've had tinnitus at a level where it was only really noticeable in silent rooms for around 3 and a half years now, and after getting over the initial anxiety hump I came to accept it and it never bothered me again. That is until I took a trip to Cardiff to visit the girlfriends parents...

I've had T for a while and nobody was really able to tell me what the cause was. All I really know is I had a pretty bad cold and some stuffy ears, and then I woke up one morning with a pretty nasty ring in my left ear. This has been with me for a couple of years now and has gone from a 9/10 to...
