    Increased Internal Sounds from Neck Brought on by Anxiety

    For me, sometimes anticipatory anxiety or anxiety caused by a distressing event causes a feeling of increased head pressure which tends to lead to fullness in the ear with other symptoms. There is autophony, which consists of hearing my voice within my head, some thumping in the ear...

    Hearing Internal Sounds Louder — It's Not SCDS, Could It Be from Tinnitus or Hearing Loss?

    Has anyone noticed that tinnitus and/or hearing loss had caused them to hear internal sounds louder? I know of SCDS (Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome) being a cause of this which I have been given the all clear for. Only other thing I can think of is tinnitus and hearing loss has caused it...

    Fluid in the Ear Since Tinnitus Started Years Ago

    I can pop my ears extremely easily. Why? Because I have Patulous Eustachian Tube openings. Right ear less patulous than my left. However I don't get autophony, I get eustachian tube flexing when I speak. Also the air from burps etc can be heard within my ears. So why is it that I get fluid...

    CTA and MRA/V Produce Same Results? Are These Findings Enough to Hear Pulsatile Tinnitus?

    Can Nasal Steroid Spray Cause Permanent Damage to Inner Ear?

    So I've taken a nasal steroid spray and now have on and off tinnitus in my "good ear". This is how I discovered I have patulous (open) eustachian tubes so the steroid had easy passage to the inner ear. While using it I could feel my ear drum feel wet and moving constantly with a weeoooo sound...

    Inner Ear Twitch — High-Pitched

    I hear the sound of a twitch in my ear, like something moves because of irritation. Sounds like "twi twi" lasts a couple of seconds. Then when the ears ring it's the same sound but constant. I have a faulty eustachian tube on that side, makes creaking noises when I bend over and bubbling when I...

    Does Crying Spike Your Tinnitus?

    My tinnitus spiked x100 when I cried twice this past week. I haven't cried in a long time and just discovered this. I have patulous Eustachian tubes. Maybe it's the mucus, maybe my tinnitus is related to emotions. I'm not sure. Have you noticed your tinnitus spiking from crying?

    Hearing the Tapping of Neck on Ear Drum

    When I tap beneath my ear at the angle of the jaw, I can feel it as if I'm tapping my ear drum directly. I've had an MRI and Tympanometry test both clear apparently. Even though I struggle with pressure changes in the tinnitus ear and well as cracking when I swallow and mucus feeling in my ET...

    Any Advice RE: Neck Arteries/Heart?

    Hi all Sorry for the TLDR. So I'm making a second attempt at finding the cause of my tinnitus in right ear after 6 years. I've been paying attention to it again and can narrow it down to an artery or vein in my neck. When I tap the right side of my neck beside the throat leading up to under...

    Hi all I have tinnitus in my right ear with high pitched hearing loss. Despite doing a tympanometry test and being told there is no fluid in my ear, everytime I use headphones i feel fluid in the ear and tinnitus is louder. The vibrations are possibly loosening the fluid so that it moves...
