Hi @Spliffurt, I'm so sorry to read that you too have been negatively affected by microsuction. I had this procedure done almost 7 years ago and it caused all sorts of problems for me, including tinnitus, hyperacusis and hearing loss. Sadly ENTs and audiologists are still practicing...

Hi @DeanD, I'm so sorry to read that you're yet another victim of microsuction. In 2016 this ridiculous procedure also caused intensive and serious harm to my hearing resulting in debilitating tinnitus, hyperacusis, TTTS etc. I can't believe that ENTs and audiologists are still practicing...

Not great :-(

I also live in France and think it's disgraceful that people are being forced to have the vaccine/booster to continue some kind of 'normal life'. The vaccine neither prevents being infected nor does it prevent transmission of the virus. No one (governement/pharmaceutical companies) will take...

I'm so sorry to read that you too have been a victim of microsuction. It's almost 6 years since my microsuction experience caused severe tinnitus, hyperacusis, hearing loss and much more. The procedure is VERY LOUD, and can (imo) cause hearing damage. Before the procedure my hearing was normal...

Hi @Liam_Cairns, I just saw your message, I'm not on here as often as I used to be. Thanks for the kind words. How are you? Have you tried anything new? For me things are pretty much the same. I still take betahistine and the diuretic, I find that it mildly helps my condition. My tinnitus is...

Hi everyone, I've read with interest this thread and all of your posts... And I can say I can relate 100%. All of my problems started following a bilateral microsuction procedure in 2016 that was extremely loud. I have chronic tinnitus, painful hyperacusis and hearing loss as well as all the...

@Rali, hi, sorry I haven't replied sooner to your comments, I don't check in on Tinnitus Talk so often now as I find it fuels my negative emotions of this wretched procedure they call 'microsuction'. I'm truly sorry to hear that you too have suffered damage because of this medical procedure...

Hi @Els, I'm so sorry you're suffering too after microsuction. I had microsuction in 2016, and it caused a whole lot of problems including painful hyperacusis and tinnitus. Please feel free to read my thread... The Dangers of Microsuction

Hi @Rainer, as my friend @Vicki14 pointed out, I can definitely say without a word of doubt that an ENT doing microsuction caused my tinnitus, hearing loss, middle ear myoclonus and hyperacusis. It's a dangerous procedure which at best should be tighter regulated, at worst banned altogether. I'd...

Hi @Liam_Cairns, sadly as @Vicki14 pointed out, many people are being permanently harmed by microsuction. I also believe I suffer from cochlear hydrops following an acoustic trauma brought on by microsuction. This was over 5 years ago. After three months of researching my symptoms I came to the...

I'd agree with Vicki14, definitely no microsuction! I had it done in 2016, it caused tinnitus, hyperacusis, hearing loss and more. It is the biggest regret of my life having this procedure. Manual removal is safer.

Microsuction for sure. I had this procedure in 2016 and it caused tinnitus, hyperacusis, tonic tensor tympani syndrome, chronic ear fullness, hearing loss... Microsuction is not safe and should be banned!

It made no difference to me. I used eardrops religiously for almost 2 weeks before the ENT visit, but the microsuction earwax removal still caused extensive damage to my hearing.

I have not been on the forum for a while and came back recently. I've just seen this thread today and felt compelled to add my experience as I'm deeply aggrieved by the whole microsuction experience. In 2016 I saw an ENT as I had a wax build up in one ear. Long story short he suctioned BOTH...

I'm so sorry to read that you've also suffered at the hands of so called doctors. I just don't understand how they are so naive to the dangers that this procedure brings. Something needs to be done as people are needlessly and carelessly being caused harm as medical professionals seem to not...

Not a lot... Betahistine and a diuretic. That's it... I've noticed very little change.

This is EXACTLY how I am... It's just unbearable. I had little to no hearing loss in the low frequencies after the noise trauma, but now I do. The high frequency loss has also worsened. My ears feel constantly plugged up too. None of the doctors (ENTs and neurologists) have any clue, or even...

With great difficulty. I have a 6 year old daughter... I live for her. I feel constantly ill, ear fullness that's debilitating, screeching multiple tones in my ears and head, hyperacusis... Sadness :(

Hi @Jrblovsky, sorry to hear you're struggling too. Your symptoms sound very like mine... And like you I've searched for answers that could help and have found nothing. My cochlear hydrops was triggered after hearing damage from microsuction.

Hi @Acouphene, I'm truly sorry to read your story, and I'm aggrieved to learn that you are ANOTHER victim of microsuction. In 2016, microsuction caused my chronic tinnitus and hyperacusis. Of course, like you, the doctor/doctors denied that this was possible. They are wrong and are simply in...

Hi @Acouphene! Sorry to read about your experience with microsuction. In 2016 I saw an ENT to remove a build up of wax in one ear... He used microsuction on both ears! I had never heard of the procedure, NOTHING was explained to me, no other methods of wax removal were offered, and he NEVER...

Sorry to hear that you are suffering from this too. I never got an answer, although I suspect in my case its probably nerve damage. I don't feel this cold sensation so often now.

I have not had the ECoG test done, I had other tests done which made matters worse (loudness tests etc). Both my ears are affected. My ears feel constantly as if they need to pop, but even if I'm able to pop them it changes nothing.

I find it difficult to pop my ears. It's been like this since the microsuction damaged my ears over 4 years ago. It's extremely frustrating. I think I have hydrops too.

Hi @hannah bow, the symptoms you describe sound very like the symptoms I have. My tinnitus and hyperacusis were caused by loud noise during a microsuction procedure. My tinnitus has worsened and I also have the fullness, crackling etc. I think all of these symptoms are the result of hearing...

So sorry for your loss, Jazzer.

You can't avoid noise 100% sadly

I understand what you explain here but I've never found answers either. For me it's noise damage from the microsuction and then as doctors and audiologists are in total denial about the damage this can cause, they subjected me to loud tests as they claimed that the microsuction couldn't have...

I couldn't agree more!

I'm so sorry to read that this has happened to you too. Please read my post entitled "the dangers of microsuction" :-(

Hi @Juan, Sadly no, the hydrops (if it is that) hasn't gotten better. I still have constant fullness, and my hearing has continued to worsen. I'm not sure what to do. How are you?

Absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to his family. Such sad news. RIP Allan.

I've been taking this for almost 2 years now, I've not seen much improvement from taking it.

I have the same symptoms... Fullness in both ears following a very loud microsuction procedure in 2016... I have extensive hearing loss above 8khz standard hearing test. After 3.5 years my normal hearing range is beginning to suffer. I still have extreme fullness and debilitating tinnitus that...

I can't agree more with your views... My tinnitus/hyperacusis/hearing loss was initially caused by an ENT performing a very noisy microsuction procedure to remove a small amount of wax in each ear. Then I was ordered by another ENT to get an MRI (despite me telling him that my tinnitus was...

OMG!!! That's just irresponsible! Lives have been ruined by this procedure (mine, @Vicki14, @Alibongo, @Nervous_Gent, @judith77, @Liam_Cairns to name but a few). Check out the Dangers of microsuction thread https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/the-dangers-of-microsuction.21921/ Here's a study...

Just to chip in as it's been a while since I was here, I saw an ENT this summer who believes I have cochlear hydrops (which I've been trying to say for 3 years). I'm 100% sure it was triggered by the damage/trauma to my ears from the microsuction by an ENT. I still get the coldness/numbness and...

Hi @Mila9828 I read your post... I'm so sorry you suffered following an ear irrigation. Your symptoms definitely sound like acoustic shock. I hope that things improve for you, the fact that you have no tinnitus is a good sign I think. It's been over 3 years for me and my problems are ongoing...

So sorry to hear this. Almost the same thing happened to me except mine came on straight after microsuction to remove wax. I even have the same feeling in my ears when I swallow. My audiogram up to 8khz was normal, but up to 16khz was another story! I believe I suffered sshl from the wax removal...

Firstly I did not ask you to "correspond" with me. Secondly, you must consider not agreeing with your opinions as being "disrespectful" as I have never been rude to you. And finally, don't try to argue that a procedure is safe just because you have had no complications. Everyone is different. I...

I had microsuction in 2016 and my ears and hearing suffered enormously. The procedure was done by an 'ENT' doctor... Who carelessly caused clarinetting to happen during the procedure. It was very loud and I had pain in my ears. I didn't know what to expect, or that this noise/pain shouldn't have...

I find this very offensive from someone who is making opinionated assumptions. Why do you have to make everything about yourself? You're rude to people unless they agree with the way you see things. This thread is not about your opinions.

I'm so sorry to read you're yet another victim of this horrific procedure. Like you I suffered (and still am) needlessly because of this supposed 'safe' wax removal procedure. As far as I can see it, the only thing that's safe about it are the people carrying out these procedures as it seems...

I'm 100% with @Vicki14... Do NOT get microsuction!!! Please feel free to read my posts about how this procedure ruined my hearing, and ultimately my life.

Honestly no, not at all. BUT if we're not a thorn in their sides then nothing will change AND I'll still feel a huge sense of injustice.

I agree @Vicki14 about the incompetence of certain so called health 'professionals', but I see so many people complaining of ringing in ears etc after having had microsuction done that I really think there's a huge risk element to this procedure :mad: regardless. Unfortunately we had a risky...

Thank you @Lane for your kind words. I contacted a lawyer last year and was told that I would need solid evidence (a hearing test just before/after the procedure... Like who thinks of doing this/expects to have their hearing damaged to this extent from wax removal...) blah blah blah and that it...

There are numerous people on TT who have been affected by microsuction. Maybe we could get together to try to do something about this? @Vicki14 @Alibongo @Cape crusader @Liam_Cairns @Bradders @Lisa 99 @Paulmanlike @Hissy missy Anyone else?

@Janb I am also a victim of this barbaric and extremely dangerous procedure. I have hearing loss, tinnitus, hyperacusis and constant nerve pain after having had microsuction by an ENT just over 3 years ago. Like you, my life is unrecognisable because of this. I tried to complain but I've been...
