    Tinnitus Accompanied by Pounding in Head

    My tinnitus is worse when I have this pounding sensation in my head in sync with my heart rate. After a day or two, this sensation subsides and the tinnitus also subsides and goes to the baseline only to start up suddenly again a few days later or sometimes a few weeks later with a strong...

    Tinnitus Temporarily Gone with Reliefband Anti-Nausea Device

    First of all, I don't work for or have any financial interest in reliefband. I heard about the device through one of my podcasts I listen to. I briefly read about how it works and thought maybe I could do something clever with it. Reliefband is a watch-like device that you wear on your wrist...

    Massaging Back of Head Instantly Reduces My Tinnitus?

    When I massage the back of my head, where you feel the bump at the bottom of the skull, my tinnitus drops 5-6 points instantly, and then fades back in several seconds later. No tapping, just hard pressure going in circular motion for a couple of seconds. Works every time. Any thoughts as to why?

    So every morning for the past several weeks I have observed that early morning when my wife and kids wake up and make noise, I'm in this semi-conscious state where I'm aware of my surroundings but still asleep. I have no tinnitus during this state and I'm clearly conscious enough to make a...

    Tinnitus Went Away for Three Weeks While on Vacation

    I went to a foreign country last year in July and during the three week period, I had no tinnitus. My tinnitus started again when I landed back in the US. It was a very undeveloped country. Could it be due to reduction of stress or maybe electromagnetic pollution? Is there a large Faraday cage...

    Going on 3 Years — Tinnitus Worse as Ever with Added Symptoms

    This June, it will be 3 years since my ear issues started. I feel like I'm not any closer to finding the cause of my issues even after many visits to multiple ENTs, neurologists and audiologists. It all started one morning when I woke up with ear fullness and numbness on the left side of my...

    Can Tinnitus Cause Temporary Lightheadedness/Imbalance?

    Does anyone know if tinnitus alone can cause you to feel lightheaded and feel like you have imbalance? Similar to being drunk? I'm not referring to ear conditions that cause tinnitus and lightheadedness/vertigo. I'm referring to tinnitus alone causing the symptom of lightheadedness when it's...

    Hello everyone. Some of you may have stumbled upon my previous post here regarding my tinnitus being gone with some ear drops I purchased at the grocery store.

    Tinnitus Completely Gone with Eardrops After Over a Year Plus a New Discovery (Please Read!)

    I'm a very pessimistic person so for me to say that my tinnitus is gone today, I already suspect it coming back tomorrow but at any rate, I want to summarize my symptoms and the result of an OTC eardrop I tried yesterday evening that resulted in me waking up with zero tinnitus this morning in...

    Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET) Link to Tinnitus?

    My ear that was infected that caused my tinnitus has developed PET. I don't know if I had it before, or it has developed by losing a significant amount of weight (I have) or that constant natural reflex of trying to "open" my ear due to it feeling clogged has caused the PET but I clearly have it...

    A Pattern Has Emerged for My Tinnitus

    I've been monitoring my tinnitus for some time now and I have noticed a clear pattern with the level of my tinnitus. The pattern I have is a clear sawtooth pattern if you were to graph is. I get a spike in my tinnitus in a very short period of time like minutes or seconds. I feel this strong...

    Some Interesting Self-Diagnosis and Findings (Diet's Impact) Regarding My Tinnitus

    My tinnitus is very strange in the sense that it fluctuates which in of itself is not unique but the fluctuation seems to occur after waking up from sleep. In other words, the severity of my tinnitus for the entire day is realized in the morning. If I wake up with it being a 3, it stays a 3 and...

    Joined the Club. A Year In...

    Hello Everyone, Before all this, the only time I had heard of tinnitus was when my 70 year old grandma once complained of her ears ringing. I was a 7 year old child back then and the best I could associate it to was like a door bell ring. Fast forward to June of 2017. One morning I woke up with...
