Is this for real?

I have a high frequency and low frequency ringing in my right ear. When I cover my ears I hear the low frequency tinnitus more strongly. The same is not true with the high frequency ringing. It is the same volume with plugs in or plugs out. Does anyone else experience this? Does this have...

I pinched my nose shut with my fingers and gently blew air out torwards my ears for about 5 seconds. Afterwards I was overcome with dizziness for a few seconds. Is this normal or indicative of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD)?

Today represents around the 7 month mark of my tinnitus relapse. I still notice my tinnitus when I wake up in the morning and I still notice it when I go to sleep at night but it doesn't elicit a reaction as frequently as before. However, I have not missed a nights sleep in over two months, so...

Hey Doc, I'm really glad to hear you're doing better! I was hoping you could spare a moment for some advice. Driving to and from work is still causing my tinnitus to wind up even with wearing the ear plugs prescribed by Dr Searchfield. He said it can take a couple of months for the hearing...

My profile describes my story with T & H if you are interested. :) I have sound reactive tinnitus in my right ear. My T is quietest first thing in the morning when I wake up after the long silence of sleeping. However, once I get up and start doing things it tends to wind up. It doesn't get...

Hi Dr Nagler, I can appreciate that you aren't able to provide me with a diagnosis for my ear trouble. I was hoping if I can provide you with some of my background you might be able to answer some of my questions. I really appreciate the time you take to answer peoples questions on this board...

Hi T Talk, My name is Mark and I am from New Zealand. I have tinnitus in my right ear. There are two sounds, a low buzzing (like a fridge) and a high pitched ringing (like a car breaking). Last night I was using a Tinnitus Application that helps you find the frequency of your tinnitus. I ran...
