    Can Propiomazine Make Tinnitus Worse? Is It Ototoxic?

    "Propiomazine is an antagonist at types 1, 2, and 4 dopamine receptors, serotonin (5-HT) receptor types 2A and 2C, muscarinic receptors 1 through 5, alpha(1)-receptors, and histamine H1-receptors. Propiomazine's antipsychotic effect is due to antagonism at dopamine and serotonin type 2...

    What Is This Ear Pain? Hyperacusis or Ear Infection?

    Very worried about the state of my ears right now. For 6 months I've had intermittent ear pain, ear fullness, feeling of warmth. All of these symptoms have been mild and most of the time not even present, until today. Now my right ear gets a stabbing pain for just a second, a few times every...

    How to Know If Tinnitus Is Noise Induced?

    ENTs are useless and discourage me from trying to find the cause of my tinnitus. They don't want to help me find out if it's sound induced or not. They don't know anything, and listening to their advice is a sure road to worsening your tinnitus. They don't understand how much the cause matters...

    Intermittent, Mild Stabbing Pain in Both Ears for a Few Seconds at a Time — What Is This Pain?

    Recently I've been experiencing intermittent, mild stabbing pain in both ears. Hurts for a few seconds at a time. Not related to external sounds. Anybody recognise this? The ENT didn't have anything to say about it nor my ear pressure, surprise surprise...

No hyperacusis, maybe some high frequency hearing loss (at least online tone generators suggest this). However, my tinnitus varies greatly...

    Sitting with the Sound, or Masking It?

    I've been wondering about this. Seems possible that my tinnitus is here to stay, and so far I've been masking it and trying to occupy my mind with other things. I'm considering another approach: instead of trying to run away from the sound, how would it be to just sit and listen to the sound? If...

    Why Does My Tinnitus Go Away for Days, Only to Return?

    Hello, I've been reading this forum a lot since my tinnitus got worse a few months ago. There's still some things about my tinnitus that I don't really see people writing about. I've seen some improvement. It started with the tinnitus being "gone" (so low that I can barely hear it when...

    Is This Normal for Noise-Induced Tinnitus or Could It Be Something Else?

    I first noticed my tinnitus about a year ago, left ear only. I saw a doctor and did hearing tests. No hearing loss. Asked the doctor if this could have been caused by headphones, he said no because there was no hearing loss. I was stupid enough to believe him and continued to use headphones...
