    Ear Wax Causing Temporary Tinnitus?

    Have you seen an ENT? Do not try to remove the wax on your own, you should consult a specialist. Tinnitus can be caused earwax. If your T is caused by earxax, its removal will stop your T. My best wishes.

    Until it finally goes away try stay calm, in quiet places, avoid caffeine and smoking. Also don't use phone in your affected ear! Complex B vitamins would help to enhance acoustic nerve.

    Tinnitus a First Sign of a Hearing Loss?

    They say tinnitus is sometimes a sign that a hearing loss will occur. Does this mean that if the hearing loss will occur (if this is the case) the tinnitus will go away? I ask this because I only know two young people with severe hearing loss and they always wear hearing aids. But none of...

    Does Your Tinnitus Get Stronger Under the Water?

    Yes. I think it is normal. The water isolates your ears from external sounds so you can hear your tinnitus stronger. Just like when you close you use earplugs.

    Safe Noise Levels?

    There is no reason to attend a place where you have to wear earplugs to protect your hearing especially if you already have tinnitus that was caused in a club. Such places are considered to be for entertaiment, a place where you go to forget your problems, to escape, or just have fun. Not to...

    No Sleep. Feeling Desperate.

    For me, despite the fact that probably my tinnitus is caused by cold turley withdrawal from lorazepam, it is lorazepam that helps me the most with tinnitus. Not only it relaxes me to the point that it doesn't annoy me, but it calms it down to a much lower level. But before use any kind of...

    My Symptoms — What Kind of Tinnitus Could I Have?

    I think it's obvious that your tinnitus is caused by your neck. Chiropractors sometimes make things worse. With all these symptoms visiting an orthopedic and having an X ray is more than necessary. Consulting an ENT/audiologist would also be a good idea. Wish you the best.
