    I highly suspect my tinnitus is "GERD induced". All my ears issues appeared a while ago just before being diagnosed with hyatal hernia. Tinnitus, ears crackling, ears fullness, multiple fleeting tinnitus with pressure changes... You name it.

    Please Don't Say There's No Cure for Tinnitus

    Yeah... I was forced to get that freaking vaccine (my son lives in another city and no vaccine = no train = no son). So I got two shots 4 months ago and guess what: vaccine is no more mandatory to take the train and I've been tested positive to COVID-19 two days ago. My ears are ringing louder...

    Hi @Pau Marti and thanks for asking. If by "improved" you mean a softer tinnitus then no, I think (really can't tell for sure) that my tinnitus is even louder. But for now I feel quite good.

    Do You Know Other People Who Have Tinnitus?

    Does Your Tinnitus Change with the Season?

    At this moment, and since the onset, weather is the one and only thing that changes my tinnitus level. I'm pretty sure that air pressure has some kind of effect on my ears. Call me "weather guy" : when fleeting tinnitus comes then weather is about to change in the next hours. ;)
