    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    I don’t think it’s an infection either. I went to my allergist and told him about everything too and he tried azithromycin for a few days to see if that helped and it didn’t.

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    My flight was a very brief one. 2 hours at most... would an MRI confirm an inner ear barotrauma diagnosis? No doctor has really thought it could be that.

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    @Contrast I don’t really have hyperacusis though. My ear isn’t super sensitive to sounds. I’ve been trying to stay away from loud sounds though

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    and @Jemina i didnt have problems during the flight. I was trying to sleep in different positions which might have strained my neck I don’t really know. The docs have called BS on essentially all of my claims. Said it’s gonna go away just have to wait it out. I asked if barotrauma, ETD, tumor...

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    @trancerobot I dont think they’re full. I have a sensation at times that makes it feel like I should pop my ears and I do. There isn’t fluid in them. I think there might be negative pressure because tympanometry can miss this sometimes. When they hurt it feels I am too deep underwater or something

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    @Jemina I had earbuds in so the plane noise wasn’t loud to me. I had a podcast playing and it wasn’t loud by any means. Im almost positive it’s a pressure thing... Someone who has experience said it might be inner ear barotrauma because the ENT wouldn’t be able to see it

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    @dpdx No concerts recently. Most recent was in January... I did use earbuds on the plane but wasn’t listening to loud music. Had a podcast playing.My jaw does click sometimes while eating. Not always though so i’m not sure about the TMJ... Do have toothaches a lot though. I don’t know if this...

    6 Weeks in with Tinnitus... Help?

    My tinnitus developed 24 hours after a flight about 6-7 weeks ago (July 22). The first week was AWFUL! But it seems that I can now mask it easier, I don't focus on it as much, and that it is almost quieter (but I am not sure). I am not sure if I am just habituating, or if it is actually going...

    3 Weeks of Tinnitus! (Any Advice?)

    Hi everyone! I have been posting on here a little bit just to settle my nerves, and sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't, but here's my story! Any advice is very appreciated! So about 3 weeks ago, I had my college orientation. I was obviously very nervous (especially because the college...

    Prednisone and Azithromycin for ETD? And Tinnitus?

    An ENT I went to recommended Flonase to me, but the allergist said it would not help me in this situation and that he does not know why she would have recommended it.

    Prednisone and Azithromycin for ETD? And Tinnitus?

    I went to my allergist yesterday. I have had a ringing in my ears for almost three weeks now, been to 4 doctors, and each of them has told me a different thing. He did a physical examination and along with my symptoms, he believes that my Eustachian tubes aren't functioning properly. I can...

    Tinnitus from Allergies? And ETD?

    Thank you! Hopefully the allergist can offer some insight as well... fingers crossed. Might ask for a camera to see if anything is wrong in the nose or tubes

    Tinnitus from Allergies? And ETD?

    My T was super bad the first week. The second week I went on a vacation and it seemed to get better. The ENT did a brain stem response test for an acoustic neuroma and since then it has gotten a little worse. I am just confused about everything going on. This all started after the flight and it...

    Tinnitus from Allergies? And ETD?

    She told me to use Flonase and aim towards the ears (which i dont really understand how to do). I was going to wait though for the allergist because they’re apparently addictive

    Tinnitus from Allergies? And ETD?

    So the past two weeks have been a nightmare for me. I live in Michigan and was visiting Florida for my college orientation. I developed really bad contact dermatitis before leaving, so the trip was miserable. To make things even worse, 24 hours after my flight, I developed a ringing in my...
