@Tamara G Hi I am new here too (almost 3 weeks) and I also have a history of panic disorder too. I think you should try to speak with your dr about a different antidepressant. I was researching and came across celexa as one with a connection to tinnitus. I am not a dr but you might speak to...

So sorry that this has happened to your beloved dog, Ping. Horrible and sooooo devastatingly sad. As a dog lover and owner, I really truly do understand. It is a profound loss. Again, although there really are no words, Im so sorry.

So sorry to hear that. I lost my mom a few months ago. I understand the pain. Let yourself grieve and feel all the emotions. Sending hugs and same as the rest of us have posted we are always here to listen. So so very sorry.

@dingaling @glynis @GregCA @sakrt Hi all - ok I got a copy of my hearing test. My questions are: 1. Since im new to T and it was really loud on that day, can that effect the results? I was also very very anxious. 2. Is this asymmetrical result really so unusual? 3. Would i benefit from a...

@GregCA thanks so much!

@GregCA Got it. Thanks. Im so new to this - its all very confusing, disorienting (emotionally) and anxiety provoking!

@GregCA That is reassuring but Im mostly concerned with a T spike. There are a lot of people on here that report major spikes after augmentin. Im just really scared of which direction to go. So in other words im frozen in a fear state as its just 2 weeks in... thank you for the info i will...

@sakrt I agree with you 100%. Its all very difficult and each speciality doc only focuses on their box as you say. And if it doesnt fit, they decide its anxiety. One time my son had a terrible sinus infection and the ENT didnt see it with his scope so he decided my son was "faking" to get out of...

@fishbone that's awesome that you are so fit. I know you've said you have other issues that cause pain as well. You are an inspiration and when i feel a little more solid i will follow your lead and get back to the gym! :thankyousign:

Thanks @fishbone. You look after all of us and its very much noted and appreciated. How are you doing tonight ? Unfortunately i just went to my first ent and he was quite useless/dismissive. He said (regarding T) i need to "relax" and take some lipo-flavenoids and maybe T will go away or not...

Hi friends - I have significant sinus pain and pressure on right side of face. This is how my sinus infections present. Not a lot of goop just lots of pressure and feeling spacey/lightheaded/headache and feeling weak. As I am new to tinnitus (and struggling to adjust) I am afraid to take my...

@Jason37 what you said is so true. I didnt freak out until i looked into it. And i think a lot of us on here are the more anxious type? I am. Not with everything but once i started looking into it my anxiety went nuts. I also know people who can just ignore it and right now, 2 weeks in i feel...

@fishbone I will try my best! This is really a tough one. Great advice. Great. I read and re read your posts. Not just the ones in response to me. You help so many people. My husband does not understand and thinks im overreacting. Im a really strong person but this one has me thrown. I will try...

@fishbone you are a real inspiration on here and i appreciate your words yet again you gave me something to hang on to. I am grateful for your reassurance. Time. I have to remember time. Its a big adjustment. And it just came on so suddenly. I guess thats how life is. No one sees adversity...

@dingaling Its being mailed to me because i forgot it at the drs office. Ill post it when it arrives. Thank you!

T is just soooo weird. Im not even a napper but with no sleep at night... Thanks for responses everyone!! - no more naps!

Hi everyone - so 2 weeks in and my anxiety is through the roof. I have always had some anxiety in general and went through CBT to fix both general anxiety and panic attacks. The therapy was successful and I have been through a lot of trauma but my panic anxiety did not return... until now. I...

@Fleegle thanks for the update! Wow i hope you have more great days!! This is very, very intetesting. Keep the updates coming! Thanks!!!!

Hi @Dave11 sorry about your spike. Im sure its temporary but it sucks!! Thanks for asking about the ent appt. It was useless. Im going to tell you the details so you can be prepared in case it goes the same way for you. He told me "it will probably either clear up or you will habituate" and...

@glynis and @InfiniteLoop thank you very much. The weird thing is he did not equate my T with any hearing loss just "stress" and "anxiety". He also disregarded the popping and clicking in my rt ear because the tympanogram "looked fine" then said "you can use some flonase and advil if you want...

Hi - I went to 1st ENT appt. today and hearing result was excellent in right ear, left ear less good but still in normal range but lower. My tinnitus is usually on right or both. Audiogram looked like parallel lines with the left about 2/3 of an inch lower on the paper. I cannot detect any...

@Bill Bauer Thanks this is all kind of surreal. Its hard not to react (emotionally) to loud increase. Plus, its harder to screen out, obviously. Especially with no "real" cause. Well, one more aspect of this to get used to. Ugh...

Hi I'm still new (2 weeks). Suddenly tonight the volume of my tinnitus is really high/loud. I took a nap this afternoon (unusual) but I haven't slept much recently. I was only asleep for 20 minutes and woke up much louder. Any advice? Also I switched to a new pillow last night, could that...

@fatherted so glad you posted! We need hope! Very happy for you!! Do you mind telling us which antibiotic you used? I suspect infection in myself and would love to know what worked for you. Also great Rocky quote! Thanks.

Im new here too but i understand and feel similar. Everything seems unreal and im an anxious mess. I think, at least for me, i have to try to eat (its been about 2 weeks and i am so anxious i can hardly eat ) There are lots of people on here who get used to it and sometimes it even goes away...

@Michellejean Thank you for the support. I am working on habituation as well. In case its permanent why not try to habituate. But im still in the shock mode. But i am sitting listening to all the sounds that i pay zero attention to all the time. That doesn't bug me at all. Also if i expect it tp...

@Adzy Yes, yes, and yes. Thank you! Im only 2 weeks in, so really new. Yes, prison would be waaay worse! Many people in the world are suffering, way way worse. Great perspective! Thank you! Much appreciated.

@Dave11 Hi - Im new too. Its crazy and hard to believe. I was using an eye drop with tobramycin in it and on night 2 i put the drop in and an hour later, just laying in bed watching tv "eeee". Assumed it would go away but not yet. Now on day 10 and cant really believe this. I realize now i was...

@Adzy Great post. Im new and feeling panic and depression. I read every word and appreciate what you are saying. I have overcome a lot in my life but this T has me down. Way down and scared. I will dig deeper and try to focus on my good fortune. My kids, roof over my head... and try to have some...

@fishbone thank you again. I re-read your posts and they lift me up. Im grateful. @glynis Im sorry you are having a hard time with your ears today. I wish you relief. Hoping it will get better soon.

Thank you so much for the responses. I am having trouble calming down and i feel like crap physically and emotionally so ive been in bed curled in a ball too much. Ive hurt my neck recently but im too afraid to take anything for the pain, etc. Im trying not to monitor the T but its so hard not...

@Heather43 did your tinnitus clear up with the antibiotic? How are you feeling? I have similar symptoms and wonder if an antibiotic would help. Thanks, I hope you are well! Let us know! -Jul

@Ed T Great news about habituation and your headaches. Great inspiration! Thank you. I have neck pain and terrible headaches since T started (only 2 weeks ago - im new) Were you concerned the chiropractor would make the T worse? Also, any habituation tips? How long before it started to get...

Hi all - ok so I'm in high anxiety/panic mode on day 9. I'm trying to stay busy but can't seem to shift my focus (I work from home...a quiet home, I play quiet music, run the sink, white noise at night...) A few questions: 1. I just went for a short walk and now my tinnitus has gotten louder! 4...

@Fleegle Thanks for the update! Please keep us posted and i wish you much luck!!!

Please keep us posted and updated. I have neck pain and it did start around the same time as t but i have attributed the T to a medication i was taking. But im researching (and freaking out) as its only my the 8th day with T. And info will help. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this. I am new here and on day 8 of this new loud sound in both ears . So as you might guess im in freak out mode. I believe mine is from tobramycin eye drops. My Dr (GP) thinks it may calm down after a few weeks but he is guessing and I think he is trying to give me hope (i...

Naturalman - if you are still out there - did your tinnitus go away? I just took 2 days of tobradex drops and I got tinnitus. Of course the dr is saying its not possible. Its totally possible it happened to me and you and others. Please, please post a quick update so maybe i can predict what...

Thank you both very much. In the beginning here its like you are afraid to do anything that might make it worse. Much appreciated.

Thanks. Im glad it does not effect you in a bad way. It was added to lists as of 2015 or 16 but i know some people can take it (and even advil) and some cannot. I appreciate your reply!

Hi - I'm new here, I'm still in panic mode. My tinnitus started this week after tobramycin eye drops - I know, hard to believe. Now I'm afraid to take anything but I've had a bad headache for 2 days and I'd like to relieve it. I'm trying to get out and around and habituated (omg so hard) I...

Im sorry so to hear that. Wow. Thats awful. Have you learned to cope with it? Do you ever adjust?

Thank you for your thoughtful replies. Im really hoping it calms down since it was such a small amount of medication but unfortunately that may not matter. Im feeling very anxious. I appreciate the support and not being alone. Its quite a shock when it starts so suddenly. I see many many people...

Hi Dan - I know this is an old thread but i am wondering if you recovered and how long it took? I was on an eye drop for 2 days and got tinnitus. I'm guessing that the antibiotic ointment you were on is one of the "mycin" ones like neomycin, etc. I was on tobramycin. The dr of course has never...

I've taken Advil and Tylenol occasionally. Now I'm on nothing at all. I keep reading that any damage from this class of drug is irreversible?? Does that include tinnitus from a total of 4 eye drops?

Thank you. My dr is claiming no connection to tobramycin drops and is giving zero feedback. Im really terrified. Thanks again. Any other thoughts, experiences, please post!

Hi all - I was prescribed Tobradex eye drops for eye inflammation. Only on it for 2 days, 2x day. Last night right after installing 4th drop I began to hear a high pitched hissing sound similar to something electronic. I thought it was the tv or a malfunctioning dimmer switch but it's in my...
