    Can Ciloxan (Ciprofloxacin) Ear Drops Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    I've had an ear infection for about a month now. I was painfully aware that antibiotics could potentially make it worse, so I waited, hoping it would resolve on its own, but no luck.

    Tympanometry Damaged Good Ear?

    Aha a kindred spirit!, i would argue these tests can 100% fuck up for ears, i had minor Tinnitus for a flu, went to get it check out at the ENT, standard tests including Tympanometry + Acoustic Reflex Test, i think the device was a 2 in 1. The Acoustic Reflex Test was incredibly loud when, but...

    Are People That Used to Have Super Hearing More Likely to Get Tinnitus?

    I would say yes, since i got my Tinnitus from an Acoustic Reflex Test, which is a routine test, it fucked me up badly, and the only explanation i got was that my ears are maybe more sensitive than others.

    Insomnia, and Tinnitus, Horrible Combo.

    Can ENTs Actually Look Beyond the Ear Drum?

    Can ENT's routinely use like tiny camera to look past the Ear Drum and give a more detailed analysis on the current state that the ear is in without damaging anything. Obviously this would be pointless many cases, but in my case Tinnitus induced by a Tympanometry, i haven't found a single...

    Tinnitus Spike After It Seemed to Be Getting Better

    Apparently there are chemicals in the brain that we produce less when are are asleep, the chemical causes more brain activity thus more T, so waking up its at a reduced level, then as the body begins to wake up the chemical is produced again.
