Bump

I’m a 16 year old female. My tinnitus started 4-5 months ago after a sinus infection, followed by a brief middle ear infection. That being said, I’ve had those symptoms persist way after they were treated! My symptoms: • Tinnitus (high pitched and a low pitch hum. I only hear the latter in...

Yes! It has for years. I always thought it was normal.

Yeah, he did. He said my Eustachian tubes were still a little clogged from a previous infection. He also said it should clear up in a few weeks but it hasn't. :/

I have braces, I'm currently wearing elastics to align and move my jaw in place. I know I clench my teeth. I caught myself numerous times before and I noticed how the ringing gets louder when I yawn and whatnot. Can TMJ really cause a crackling noise? I'm not too sure. Would I be able to ask my...

Hi, I'm a 16 yr old female and for the fast 3-4 months I've been dealing with this annoying crackling noise in my ears whenever I swallow, yawn or pop my ears. I've also been dealing with intermittent and fleeting tinnitus that fluctuates a lot in sound. It started after a shitty sinus infection...

Update: I forgot to mention but, my jaw doesn't lock but over the past few years I've noticed that when I move it in certain ways it causes this weird pain along my jaw that certainly feels as if it locked.

I've been having this problem for almost a month now! It started three weeks ago after a shitty cold, I started hearing this high pitched cracking/ringing in my ears. My cheeks have also been sore and my eyes and ears both feel dry. My ears in particular feel dirty, itchy and clogged. They've...

The problem started after a sinus/ear infection. She gave me ear drops which helped for a bit but not fully. She said my ear infection was gone but my ET is still congested and I have a throat infection. Then she told me that I’m tensing my TMJ to much, which is why I keep hearing clicking when...

That makes sense. I don’t think anyone recommends using earphones for prolonged periods for anyone. I just have a hard time buying into the idea that any use is detrimental for everyone with T.

She’s been helpful in every other regard, I don’t think it’s particularly healthy to mistrust your doctors. It’s not uncommon for T to have no apparent cause anyway. I’ve had it most of my life and my entire family has it. It could very well be a genetic thing. Point is that there’s such little...

Thanks for your input. I used them on the bus for the past three weeks (80 minutes in total, from school and back) and I was completely fine. So far the only thing that seems to aggravate it is stress and weather. I’m suspecting allergies because my sinuses have been sore for weeks and my T...

I have a friend who’s an audiologist, I’ll ask him for an opinion. I’m suspecting he’ll just tell me the same thing; to keep the level reasonable.

Thank you, you’re the one of the only people I’ve come across so far that are actually reasonable. My account is new but I’ve lurked for a while and I’m coming to the conclusion that this site is not only extremely biased, but actually unhealthy for people with mental illness because of the...

I know this is an old thread but from what I’ve seen so far on this forum is that 90% of the people here either have severe tinnitus or OCD so you should take everything here with a grain of salt. People who have tinnitus and are okay with it, or it progressively got better (which is most...

What if I use them occasionally? Like if I’m on a plane? There’s a strong chance my T is because of TMJ. If this turns out to be the case, would earbuds be okay?

But it hasn’t worsened because of my earphones yet and I’ve been using them for most of my life. Is using them in moderation really that bad? :/

Hi, I’m 16 and my GP recently diagnosed me with tinnitus. She said that there’s no apparent cause as my hearing seems fine, my heart rate and blood levels appear to be normal and my balance is okay. The only thing she told me is that my sinuses are blocked and that I hear clicking when I move my...
