    Salicylates Can Cause and Exacerbate Tinnitus, Hearing Loss, and Hyperacusis

    I stumbled upon this today. https://www.jneurosci.org/content/23/9/3944 Apparently they use salicylates to induce tinnitus in lab rats. Guess what salicylates are in? Everything. Whether or not this has had an affect on my tinnitus or hearing, I don't know. But, I do eat a lot of foods high...

    How to Tell If You Have High Frequency Hearing Loss?

    I'm trying to pinpoint my cause/type so I can work towards a cure. I had a hearing test done and they told me I had no hearing loss. I can use a sound generator and hear sounds as high as 17 kHz. Some of the sound ranges lower than that were harder to hear. I will say I have pretty cheap...

    Should I Push for an MRI to Check for an Acoustic Neuroma?

    - 30, male. - I think it's only in one ear. It's hard for me to say because it is definitely louder in one ear. - I feel like I've had tinnitus for many years, but it never bothered me and I never realized I had tinnitus until this last year. I'm not sure if it actually got worse or is worse...

    ENT Says I Have No Hearing Loss, My Tinnitus Is Constant, and I'm Unsure What Caused It

    I'm just looking for advice or help with figuring out my tinnitus. My ENT said my hearing is great and they removed a big chunk of wax (which didn't help). I've had it for as long as I can remember so I'm not sure what caused it. Stress + anxiety make it way worse for me. I have very tight...

    Started Prozac 3 Days Ago & Tinnitus Might Have Gotten Worse (or I'm Psyching Myself Out)

    So I started Prozac three days ago. I knew going into it that it can increase tinnitus, but after a decade of depression and other methods I needed help from an SSRI. Since taking it I feel I've been pretty focused on my tinnitus since I was worried about it getting worse. I can't tell if it...

    Difficult Tinnitus Spike After Concert and Flu

    It's been a week since my tinnitus spiked following a concert. Since the concert I've also been sick and congested and very stressed out due to my tinnitus. I've always had tinnitus, but this spike is really getting to me. I went to the doctor (not ENT) and he suggested Afrin and Flonase to...

    Is Debrox Considered a Safe Way to Remove Ear Wax? My GP Told Me to Use It for a Week

    My GP told me to use Debrox for a week to loosen and help remove wax build-up in my ears. He said both ears have a lot of wax in them, which makes me hopeful that maybe wax is the cause of my tinnitus. At the same time I've read people who say Debrox and wax removal made their tinnitus worse...
