    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    I've had tinnitus in my right ear since I had a blocked ear 'unblocked' by ear wax removal. For over a month now, it has different levels of volume and pitch. Lately, it's super high pitched and is 'pulsing'... but not at the rate of my heart. It's much slower, fading in and out. That said...

    Why Are Afternoons/Evenings So Much Easier (Tinnitus Not as Bothersome) Than Mornings?

    So, mine is super strange, as well. I'm a month in now with this and I noticed it is TERRIBLE at night It wakes me up typically it's so loud. If I'm lucky, it'll quiet back down during the day and is almost all the way gone at the end of my day. This last week I had entire days where it was...

    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    As an update, now that we are early in February, the ringing has almost all but stopped during the day. Is it the antibiotic I'm on now or the Clonazepam from my other doctor? Perhaps? But whatever it is, during the day... I'm sorta good (unless this is just a temporary relief week). That said...

    Steroids: Prednisone / Dexamethasone / Others (Oral and Intratympanic Injections)

    So, two different ENTs had suggested I take Methylprednisolone (5 mg) for my tinnitus. For those that don't know what I've written in the past, I'm a new to tinnitus person who developed it probably when the ENT was manually trying to remove earwax. I had two good days after that removal...

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    So, figured I should add in here my situation. I developed tinnitus after earwax removal (manual) from an ENT. It set in like 3 days later. Could it be from something else? Possible? But the timing is suspect. Anyways, it caused me all kinds of anxiety and was put on Lexapro by my general...

    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    MRI results are back and it is NOT any sorta tumor. HURRAY!!! Of course with the relief of that news, I wasn't as fixated about the fact that they really didn't see anything else. They said I had some minor sinus issues going on and said they'd give me steroids and an antibiotic. But I feel...

    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    So, they had me stuff foam inserts in my ears (but wonder if that blocked out enough of the sound). On the drive back, my tinnitus started to flare a bit... so maybe not so much. Thanks for the comment about the sleeping situation. That is one of the worst parts of this... just a horrible sound...

    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    @aura, appreciate your humor... and I can certainly use it right now with all the freakout going on in my head. Glad to hear folks on here have had no terrible outcome from having it in just one ear. @Poopsy64, thank you for all of that... it's VERY much appreciated and I plan to follow in your...

    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    Ha... I guess my paranoia is mostly about the fact it's in one ear. I also suspect the fact I had a ton of earwax removed where I had some hearing loss for a while in that ear. My hope is that my ear is over-reacting or doing something crazy. The odd part is the sleeping part. It rattles my...

    Ringing in Right Ear (No Hearing Loss) — Freaked Out I May Have Acoustic Neuroma?

    Hey all - So, a few weeks back I FINALLY had an ENT figure out why my ear was blocked up... earwax. I guess it was smushed up a bit on my eardrum and it took some drops in my ears to lift it a bit so that he could pull it out. Was relief! Sweet relief... until the ringing started in that ear a...
