By 5 years in - yawning no longer caused any sound. (My ears were oddly dry too.). Looked up Eustachian tubes - knowing these tubes are normally responsible for ear pop noise when yawning. I came across and followed a video on how to clear clogged Eustachian tubes by Austin Goh. I can't praise...

Hi Erik, It's been awhile since you wrote but I have read your letter after reading elsewhere complaints of tinnitus developing after having the vaccine by J & J. My tinnitus began just after dental work--it began with severe infectious like reaction, had the pins and needles and anxiety as...

Hi Rainer, my initial downward spiral began after dental work that caused an infectious or allergic type of reaction with the work at the epicenter. I sought both dental and medical help to no avail, but was dx'd with Celiac disease. When I didn't comply being 47 years old and previously tested...

In addition to my above observation, I had another peculiar health issue aside from tinnitus and blurred vision begin after dental work. That was that I suddenly lost all body hair on my left side. Pits, other places not polite to mention, but lost only the left half, all leg hair that finally...

Interesting. I've noticed the same with vodka but, noticed an opposite reaction with inexpensive peach snaps. Perhaps the answer we are going to be forced into is to find a brand of alcohol that works and drink daily? (I guess we could turn into drunks and then claim alcohol is our tinnitus...

Mine has been horrible during this shut down. It is torture to hear a shrill high pitched noise in your ears 24-7. Is torture the point. I also live in the United States. I was born here. My ancestor fought in the revolutionary war not only for his rights but for his grandchildren's rights...

I cannot take a shower because it makes my tinnitus spike. Funny in the beginning the shower was one place I could go to find relief. But, then that changed. There is something in the water and some new sort of aural tracking device that causes this, that they apparently remedied because so...

Hi Danielle, I'm so sorry that you are going through this too. Since the shut down I've had the most dreadful problems with tinnitus. It is not that I am home more, because I was home before the shut down. I consider what is going on to be torture, some sort of surveillance, to be honest...

Hi Steph, Mine is a continuous high pitched hiss. Normal? Normal tinnitus happens like if you go to a concert or school dance that is too loud for maybe a half hour after, or like in the old days with analog headphones too loud - too long or if you had to use a high speed tool like a router or...

A day of silence sounds like - well, to be honest it wasn't the lack of screeching in my head that i noticed most. It was eye focus, having energy, thinking like I used to, without effort and quickly, feeling happy, appreciating so much, not feeling dead, useless and in perpetual torture...

While the thought is understandable, there's gotta be a better way. My tinnitus has been since the shut down, elevated, screaching, pressure in my head and spine, static shocks and more... making me feel so sick, not even hungry. It's hard to imagine having any fight left if I were to catch the...

Five years, huh? I still have tinnitus. It began in 2009.

@Vassili Great news for you!!! Interesting choice of words by your doctor--- acoustic shock and you should be thankful it turned out this way-- no signs of any damage, all curious things for doctors to say. Maybe telling you it's great news or you are lucky, turned out this way? Very...

1.4 Clinical evidence 1.4.1 Included studies No relevant randomised controlled trial evidence comparing audiological assessments with no audiological assessment were identified. Consequently, non-randomised comparative studies were also assessed. However, no relevant studies were identified for...

@Steph1710 Very interesting. In the beginning of having tinnitus it got so so loud and one day while shopping the back of my pants above any area that could have an accident, got wet. I couldn't imagine what it was, possibly a new area to sweat that I'd never had before. The tinnitus was less...

Discovered by accident that dabbing a wet facecloth with rubbing alcohol on it around bags under eyes, brows, nose, sinuses- holding in place until warm, gets rid of floaters and temporarily clears up blurred vision. In past, I've also noticed seaweed paper chips (like for sushi) that are high...

Me too.

Anxiety and heart palpitations have been reported by other people who have taken Flonase, so I'd look into Flonase side effects if that aspect began after using it. I'd contact the doctor's office if I came to believe that that feeling of jumping out of your skin increased after taking the...

When the ear screeching stops, tinnitus is like a far away dream and life resumes... and then there's those of us who have tinnitus return... failure and apparently rationalized beliefs that something coincidental to momentarily cured the tinnitus, is nearly as difficult to admit as living with...

@Mister Muso Yes, I've experienced tinnitus when I was young after attending rock concerts, school dances and from bars that had bands or loud music. Also, I used to do work with a high speed router that after a half hour or so, would do the same thing before I got ear plugs. The tinnitus from...

Being able to open your Eustachian tubes is important. Mine stopped working for years before I stopped going to doctors. Finally, each side unclogged by doing blowing exercises, found on a YouTube for several months, morning and night. One ear crackled and then eventually opened followed by the...

I do not believe for one minute you did anything to cause your tinnitus as far as listening to music or otherwise although this seems to be the rational of many. The reason I do not believe that sound or loud music is the case is that very few musicians, even ones in heavy rock bands who are...

Since last summer, my tinnitus has been on and almost off to at least, a level not as completely offensive, and debilitating as it has been in the past. Today, for example, earlier I felt pretty good for a change and tried to make myself stay busy. Late this afternoon, I ended up falling asleep...

@Juan, I am wondering what triggered your tinnitus. Did you happen to have dental work? Did you buy a new mattress or pillow, new electronics, television, new carpet or work someplace where you might have been exposed to anything?

Check out Austin Goh's YouTube video on how to clear the eustachian tube -- he has the simplest trick but it really works! My ears hadn't popped for at least 8 years. I began doing Austin's exercise as silly as it seemed and since I heard a movement the first time like the start of a pop noise...

I am older. My exposure to noise- industrial and loud music was long ago and there were a few times, after the noise stopped I heard tinnitus that fade away. This is different. You "young kids" are constantly associating noise with it and you are blaming the noise and not the material that...

Could be the foam rubber ear plugs were made with flame retardant treated foam rubber? Prednisone is an anti-inflammatory mostly-- could be that the effects of the toxin responsible for the tinnitus is causing inflammation around your acoustic nerve that the Prednisone alleviates. I had luck...

@RaZaH I just read your profile post. And, I wanted to point something out concerning airbags--some airbags contain methyl bromide. If you are not familiar with the effects of this chemical, you might want to either read my last couple of posts or do some research. Even if your particular...

I posted earlier about the effects of bromide displacing iodine and some sources to avoid because it affects the thyroid. I've had good results by making sure I eat iodine rich food. The compounds made with bromine/bromide are numerous since it is used as a pesticide and flame retardant. But...

Thank you for that link @Lane. DMSO has from time to time sounded like what I needed...The Sodium Thiosulfate article is very interesting. Sulphur springs have long been used to sooth arthritis so anything with sulphur (within reason) might help. Sulphur binds to mercury but also is...

I didn't know that DMSO could be had without a prescription although I did notice that it was used on horses and thought maybe I could find some in a tack store. Thanks for the info. I heard DMSO was great for pain and also due to the sulfur content good for mercury toxicity. Chloride that...

I wanted to weigh in on the CBD Oil. It has become legal in Maine and is all the rage being sold in many luring forms. In my research of it, it has been tested as an anticonvulsive and for psychotic behavior. Other than that, no. There's some reports on cannabis receptors that were named...

Austin Goh has some good videos on YouTube. He has one for tinnitus - but even better for my ears was one he did for sinus and ear clearing. It is a method of blowing he does - that clears tube from ear to throat - sinus nose...

Glad your surgery went well and tinnitus did not get worse. I was wondering, did you happen to take any antibiotics before or after surgery? I had one extra wisdom tooth that had to come out after partially erupting. It was smaller - I wondered if it was a root that broke off other wisdom...

I'm happy that it is working. I have had some luck using turmeric and also raw garlic- in mouth and in diet. Then I read it turmeric works on bags under the eye--that I have. One side came on just after dental work. I'd lost much of my vision less than 3 months after the dental work, got red...

Interesting. I had tried Magic Mouthwash that contained Lidocaine. I could not use it due to the effect on my throat but hadn't thought of it as a dermal application. Related to where you suggest placing a patch, I tried a peculiar remedy - that after researching why it had temporary effects...

i live in a very quiet area and am mostly home and rarely exposed to noise, but my tinnitus still spikes - and when it does, I get insomnia and sometimes anxiety too. No noise involved. After drying my hair or vacuuming, the tinnitus suddenly stops for a few minutes, so I'd have to ponder how...

I just read an article on N-acetylcysteine used in a severe mercury detox case - the person improved in 3 days using 50 mg/kg per day NAC coupled with 500 mcg/day of Selenium. Has anyone tried taking more than daily dose on the bottle of NAC, for tinnitus or taken selenium along with it...

Castor oil didn't help my tinnitus either. Interesting the garlic oil post -- I have been using garlic some due to antifungal and heavy metal effects - I eat it raw and also put a slice in each cheek - initially I was trying to get rid of cold but found it reduced tinnitus. If you don't want to...

Hadn't heard of a supplement or that product - but I have been having good luck treating myself for mold and heavy metal toxicity. Along with tinnitus I have had abnormal electrical sensitivity and static electricity. I wish I had known that abnormal static electricity could be from mold...

Hmm, tinnitus is so strange. Mine is always worse at night. Are you in a different environment in the daytime or does that make a difference? Is it when you lie down or just in your room? My position and location don't seem to have any effect. Maybe diet - something that you eat in the...

Yeah. I don't know if my cold sore was herpes - I thought it was a cyst, asked a dentist who said it was "just" a clogged saliva gland. It lasted several years but finally went away. I started detoxing for heavy metal and suspected mold allergy, was doing great tinnitus wise but caught some...

I used to live beside a very active airport - it wasn't only commercial but did lots of military stuff on the end of the runway I lived near and when they had a busy weekend it was awful. They also had a big tanker jet that they seemed to circle the airport with over and over--turns out they...

Interesting. You seem certain it is the type of oil. Have you ever tried any other oils and if you have, did they do anything comparable? I ask because recently, I have been detoxing - and one thing that seemed to help my tinnitus might have been coconut oil - that I was taking for ulcer and...

If a mechanic can't identify cause of a noise in an automobile and installs instead a new stereo speaker and circuit board to emit a frequency that counters the offending sound with a frequency of the same magnitude, will it matter when the ECU burns up a few years later?

Turning off the wifi and unplugging my laptop with the battery removed, seemed to coincide with very little tinnitus yesterday. After dinner turned wifi back on and over the course of 4-5 hrs, tinnitus came back pretty loud. Oddly my refrigerator (2 yr old frigidaire) had some peculiar symptoms...

Nerves leave the brainstem side by side before webbing out into the rest of the body - it could be one branches from the other or that using one nerve affects the other.....for whatever reason.... Foot reflexology has worked for some people. Why not appreciate this and be thankful for a...

Interesting article--this part "Stereotactic radiosurgery methods and microvascular decompressions are indicated for tinnitus caused by underlying pathologies such as vestibular schwannomas or neurovascular conflicts of the vestibulocochlear nerve at the level of the brainstem." Caused me to...

There's a YouTube video maybe you have seen, where the guy shows how to tap his skull and massage in certain spots to get rid of tinnitus. Maybe this technique might affect your tinnitus since sound changed with an impact? (but would it have a positive or negative result???)

Isn't an MRI made by spinning magnets and rf that echoes at different rates off tissue, fat etc vs bone. If you have metal inside it can be dangerous. I can't understand, if you don't have metal, why it would be any more tinnitus causing than rf from a cell phone or rf from an electric motor.

Some days I think it comes from within, some days I think I have heavy metal poisoning, some days I think it is directed at me intentionally, some days I think it is just environmental. On that happy note...

I had a day without tinnitus, or rather without much tinnitus. It was there but non-deafening and I was able to concentrate. It was easy to ignore, the sort of level I felt like I could return to life as I once knew it if the noise would stay that low. But, my relief just ended after going...

If you have ANXIETY, I strongly urge you to try an over-the-counter anti-histamine allergy relief medication that contains HCl, like Benadryl. Histamine causes the anxiety. HCl or Hydroxyzine is the same active ingredient as what is in one of the more effective anti-anxiety medications.

I've have one deformed sinus and both clogged sometimes- antihistamine with HCl (like Benedryl for allergy) helps but more than that, cleaning my sinuses with salt water rinses (gently using an ear syringe bulb), blowing and rinsing repeatedly until finally my ears will sort of pop or open. I...

At least he made an effort and at least your concerns were taken seriously and not written off as an auditory delusion. While it might feel like hit or miss and is guess work, it is an educated guess work it sounds like to me. I think if it were me, I'd fill and give the prescription a try...

Maybe you are having issues with gluten? I was dx'd with Celiac Disease (allergy to gluten) in 2008 and can remember wanting to grab donuts out of co-workers hands as they wagged it around in front of me. Gluten is really addictive! Cheese and nuts helped get me through withdrawal. I find...

Isaac syndrome--metals and mercury : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4184598/ tinnitus reported in exposure to mercury https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2426005/pdf/postmedj00229-0004.pdf Dentist attitude toward amalgams...

@AmericanJosh--- it helps because garlic releases a gas that travels into the ear canal. The gas will also affect blood circulating in the skin near the surface, around the area. I think the chemical most responsible in garlic is sulfur based and it kills infections. And as you probably know...

Very frequently. Especially in the beginning and it is frightening to say the least. If I am up late, tinnitus sometimes get really, really loud --suddenly. Have you ever noticed waking when you opened eyes or just before, the tinnitus begins? I did heavy metal detox daily for a couple months-...

Wow. It sounds like you live healthy! I'm convinced this is caused by mercury and metals in the body.
