    Starting to Develop Vertigo After an Acoustic Trauma Caused by MRI

    I think I might be having my first mild vertigo attacks. I would be sitting on my chair and all of a sudden the room would start spinning, albeit very slowly, but I still can see it's not still. All the doctors I saw promised me I didn't have ear damage, but I think that's not the case. How...

    Possible Acoustic Trauma After a "Quiet Suite" MRI Scan?

    Happy new year everyone. :) Two days ago I had an MRI scan because of my palatal myoclonus. The machine was Magnetom Skyra 3T which SAYS it has the Quiet Suite feature, but I didn't feel it at all. Now I'm feeling needle like pain in my ear and I'm trying to not freak out. My tinnitus hasn't...

    Ear Clicks When I Smile or Raise Eyebrows

    Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. So it's been a tough year for me. A few months after my tinnitus was gone, I got palatal myoclonus (in April), presumably because of amoxicillin, but it is still unclear and it hasn't stopped. The thing is, when my palate moves of course the ears spasm...

    Mysoline (Primidone) Is Stopping/Treating My Palatal Myoclonus

    I got palatal myoclonus this April. Then a hellish series of doctors appointments ensued, where almost no one knew what to do, or what to prescribe me. I was on Clonazepam, Baclofen, Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine, Sodium Valproate and nothing was helping at all. I was getting very desperate...

    Has Anyone Taken Haloperidol? Does It Affect Your Tinnitus?

    So I have to take Haloperidol along with Tizanidine for palatal myoclonus. But having past experiences with antipsychotics, I'm afraid to take the Haldol (active ingredient Haloperidol). Has anyone here taken Haloperidol, and does it cause spike in your tinnitus? Thank you. :)

    Started Carbamazepine — Got a Pitch Lowering Side Effect!

    I am trying different medications to stop DRUG-INDUCED palatal myoclonus. Now I'm on Carbamazepine, and I immediately noticed a side effect where the pitch of sounds is lowered. It's very annoying, because I'm a musician. Has anyone here experienced this side effect? It's listed as incredibly...

    Is Trileptal (Oxcarbazepine) Safe for Someone with Tinnitus?

    So I have been prescribed Oxcarbazepine for my palatal myoclonus, and I'd like to know if it's ototoxic. Google search doesn't suggest so, but I was wondering if anyone here has taken Trileptal and if it has affected their tinnitus. Thank you.

    Certain Random Sounds Make My Eardrum Vibrate — Hyperacusis?

    What is happening if random sounds are now making my eardrum vibrate? Is this hyperacusis? I was casually listening to a YouTube video, and I noticed that at one point the sound made my low hum tinnitus very loud. Every time I rewound the video it happened again. Am I developing hyperacusis...

    Low Pitched Tinnitus (from Hell) Is Back! Is Baclofen the Cause?

    I've been on Baclofen for two weeks now, and two days ago, I noticed that the low rumbling that I despised, has returned! Do you think Baclofen is the cause? The problem is if it's not Baclofen then I have to take another muscle relaxant because I have palatal myoclonus. :cry: Thank you for the...

    Clonazepam for Palatal Myoclonus

    One month ago I got a sudden onset of palatal myoclonus because of Amoxicillin (within an hour of taking it). So now, the twitching is still here, and I have been prescribed Clonazepam. I hope it helps. Has anyone tried Clonazepam for myoclonus? I'm not sure how well it works for...

    Palatal Myoclonus from Amoxicillin — Freaking Out

    So I have been given Amoxicillin for sinusitis, but two hours after I took the first pill my soft palate started jerking and twitching like in this video: While I was worrying that my tinnitus would spike, I noticed that my nose was clicking very fast, and when I looked in the mirror, it was...

    Got a Cold (Very Congested Nose) — Worrying About a Possible Tinnitus Spike

    Hello, hope everyone is doing well. :) I am having a bad cold, with my nose congested, and hurting. Does this necessarily mean my tinnitus will spike? Knowing how I can't really stop tinnitus, I am horrified of what it will sound like if the volume goes up. I have had fleeting spikes before...

    A Pre-Onset Very Quiet Tinnitus Remains After My Main Low-Pitched Tinnitus Disappeared

    I was thinking about something. I have always had a very quiet (though high-pitched) "EEE" sound, BEFORE my tinnitus onset in 2018. I think that in addition to the main problem I had - low-pitched tinnitus - the sound I had always heard also spiked and now I feel like it is much louder than...

    Bad Ear Is Feeling Full After I Sing!

    The low tinnitus i had was gone. However I've been working on my voice for a while (with a coach) and I just now achieved the desired vocal position. The problem is my ear fullness came back, and when I sing, my bad ear vibrates a lot. Has anyone here experienced this, and is it going to go...

    Was Doing Great After I Started Nasonex, Now the Low Hum Returned...

    I don't know what to say. I was doing great after I got the Nasonex nasal spray, then out of nowhere yesterday, the low hum returned. I don't know what to do, 2 out of the 3 doctors I saw were not interested in helping me with the tinnitus. I can't deal with this again.

    Why Do I Keep Hearing That Everyone Has "a Sound in Their Ears"?

    Whenever my friends ask me how my ears are doing they throw in "but don't all people have like mild tinnitus". I'm like "Um no. You would definitely know if you have tinnitus". Have you heard this argument? I think it's absolutely obnoxious. And, yes this attitude will keep the general...

    Clicking at the Back of the Throat?

    I do have Eustachian tube issues, and that was the cause of my low tinnitus. Now that the tinnitus is gone though, every now and then I do get this clicking noise behind my mouth/nose. Especially when I move my head, or almost exclusively when I move my head. Has anyone experienced that? I...

    Online Stores for Earmuffs or Musician's Ear Plugs?

    With New Year's coming, I would like to purchase good earmuffs. What websites include shipping? I live in Bulgaria. Maybe a better solution would be to buy musician's ear plugs since I would have to wear them all the time. They use fireworks here very suddenly. Thank you.

    Does Low-Pitched Tinnitus Always Mean Myoclonus?

    I have seen a lot of threads here mention Myoclonus as soon as someone reveals they have a low pitched sound. Can't regular tinnitus be low pitched too?

    Do You Need to Have a Spasm Outbreak for Tympanometer to Detect Myoclonus?

    I'm thinking of asking my otoneurologist to do this (even though I know from the forum that it's bad for your tinnitus). The thing is, I have been having spasms in my ears, or at least it feels like spasms. I think I'd want this examined, and hopefully I don't have myoclonus. I want to ask...

    Can Electric Shocks from Appliances Give You TTTS/Tinnitus?

    I think I got an electric shock from my boiler, well it was too weak to know for sure. I'm being a little worried because of the ear issues I've been having. Since I know TTTS has something to do with dysfunction of the muscles, can electric shocks cause this? Thanks.

    New High Pitched Sound in My Left (Bad) Ear. Just When I Thought My Tinnitus Was Healing.

    I was diagnosed with ETD, but the nasal spray I was using was really helping me out - the aural fullness was almost gone, and the fluttering also. The low pitched tinnitus I had is completely gone. But I woke up today with a high pitch electrical EEE sound..... I don't know what to think any...

    Can Drugs (Olanzapine/Zyprexa) Cause Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome (TTTS)?

    I have not been diagnosed with TTTS, but I'm asking because I did have ear fluttering, and I think I still do, although I can't really tell if it is aural fullness or if it just feels more like fluttering. Regardless, I'd like to ask, is it possible for anti-psychotic medication (Olanzapine) to...

    I Officially Have Balance Problems

    I thought I was doing good with the nasal spray I was given - the tinnitus had subsided, and the fullness had disappeared but now I feel very sudden loss of balance at times, and if I'm not sitting down, I'd fall for sure. This sucks.

    Can You Have ETD without Fluid in Ear?

    So, the otoneurologist told me I have inflammation of the eustachian tube, but she didn't mention any fluids in my middle ear. I was wondering if you have to have fluid to make that diagnosis. Thanks. :)

    Feeling Desperate Because of Doctors' Attitude and Treatment — What Should I Do Next?

    I've had horrible experience so far with doctors, kind of surprised that they would say the things they said to me. So I got very intrusive tinnitus because of a drug I was prescribed - Olanzapine (for depression and anxiety). It's been hell because the doctors won't actually investigate if...

    Can Medication Induce Myoclonus/Objective Tinnitus?

    I am suspecting the medication I took- olanzapine - is not so much ototoxic, as it might have induced middle ear myoclonus. The head tinnitus is causing me to believe this. I just wanted to see if this is a far fetched suggestion. Can drugs cause you to have myoclonus of the tympani or...

    Stabbing Pain in Ear Today. Feeling Hopeless.

    The onset of my tinnitus was painful and sudden - I highly suspect it's from my anti-psychotic medication. But the stabbing pains are not going away. I don't have otitis, so I am at a loss as to what can be causing this. Can you get pain in your ear from ototoxic medication? :thankyousign:

    Can Ototoxic Medication Induce Hyperacusis?

    I know acoustic trauma can induce hyperacusis, tinnitus, and tensor tympani syndrome. But can ototoxic drugs induce hyperacusis? I'm asking because I can feel my tinnitus as a vibration, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's really tinnitus and not something else like tensor tympani syndrome...

    I Can't Identify the Cause of My Tinnitus — Could Olanzapine (Zyprexa) Have Caused It?

    So I have Tinnitus since August this year. I was prescribed Olanzapine for severe anxiety and depression. I had a bit of an episode one night where I experienced a sharp pain in my neck and then ear for a few seconds, and then I heard a very low sounding vibration and this was the tinnitus. It...
