Hello @David S, I know this is an older thread, but how is your reactive tinnitus doing now?

How are you holding up?

Thanks for checking in! Things are pretty much the same here. I’ve been to several drs and not much provided in terms of treatment options. I’ve been trying to learn how to live with it. Some days are harder than others of course. How are you?

Did you go for your cleaning? How did it go? I keep pushing my dental cleaning appointment because I’m petrified of making things worse.

Hello I noticed your post and you mentioned your onset was due partially to poor spinal health. What do you mean by this? Thank you

I hope physio will help you! Do you have a mouth guard for the nighttime? I noticed for me this was a huge factor to my popping and clicking. I was clenching my teeth over night. My left ear still vibrates only when people are talking around me so I have no idea what it is. What is NUCCA?

@Dizzyhead888, are you still suffering from PPPD? Have you done anything to help symptoms? Thanks.

My dr prescribed cyclobenzaprine as a muscle relaxant. I haven’t used it because I’m so worried about side effects and it making my tinnitus worse. I made the mistake of taking mitrazapine and after 4 days my ear spasms were out of control. So I’m very reluctant on trying anything. Sorry I...

How is your situation? Still the same? Get any answers?

How are things going for you? Any progress?

Sorry I should’ve specified mem is middle ear myoclonus. I’m quite skeptical on trying the muscle relaxants because they indicate that it can cause ringing in the ears and I don’t want to make that worse. As for surgery it’d be very last resort but cutting the tensor tympani and stapedius. He...

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that. My ent said it’s probably Mem and prescribed me muscle relaxants. Last option would be surgery. Is it getting any better for you?

Hello I know it has been awhile since you’ve been on here but do you still suffer from mem? I am also in Canada and I was wondering if you had any luck with a really good ent? Thanks fir your help

@John Joseph, oh no, I’m sorry to hear they gave you lousy ear protection! How long was your scan? Did you also develop tinnitus as a result? The ETD must certainly be a result of the loud noise exposure then. Interesting that there isn’t much literature about this connection. I see an ENT next...

Hello, I am fairly new to Tinnitus Talk. I got an MRI scan for my lumbar spine 9 weeks ago and it was extremely loud in there. In addition the headphones they provided as protection had music playing and, because I’m claustrophobic, I thought nothing of the loud music through the headphones, I...

Hello do you still suffer from Patulous Eustachian tubes? Have you tried anything that has helped? Thank you

Hello I’m just checking in to see if you did anything for your possible Patulous Eustachian dysfunction? I believe I have the same thing Thanks

Hello I know you posted awhile back but I am having possible mem symptoms. Do you still have this? Did you get surgery or Botox? Thanks fir your help

Just an update for everyone. I have seen a TMJ physiotherapist two times now and it amazes me how much the jaw is associated with ear pain and other symptoms such as clicking, popping, crackling etc. He mentioned that if we have muscle tension in the jaw and neck area, it can lead to muscle...

How did the apt with your ENT go? Any insights?

Good for you to stop the steroid sprays if you think they aren’t making any difference. I’m going to try Flonase a little longer but so far it’s not providing any relief. My tinnitus is like a hissing/white noise sound. What annoys me more is all the clicking, popping and crackling in my ears...

I am happy to hear you managed well on the plane rides. This honestly scares me. I’m a sales rep and I have to eventually get back on the plane and start flying. So would you say the ear planes helped you? I know how hard it is when you travel and we’re stuck with eating so much unhealthy...

Hello - I know you wrote this quite some time ago but I am trying to figure out the same thing for myself. Have you gotten and answers since? Any treatments that have helped you? TIA.

Yes please, let’s keep each other posted. I’m hanging on by a thread right now and just want my life to be over. I see an ENT in about 2 months only. Bloody Canada, so long to see specialists here. I want to get on antidepressants but just so scared they will make things worse. @Shizune - I’m...

Hello, I am new to tinnitus, it has been 6 weeks now. I got it from a loud MRI machine and stupid me they had the music blasting in the headphones when I was in the MRI machine but I thought to myself 'it's only 10 minutes, I will be ok." But the tinnitus started in my ears 30 minutes after...

@TheOriginalJoeM- i know this post was from awhile back but just curious to see if your clicking has resolved completely? I have had noise trauma from an mri machine and developed t. Shortly after I got muffled hearing off and on and constant click long and popping in my ears when I talk or...

Thanks for your response. I feel like I’m just going around in circles. My GP prescribed Flonase but I’m so hesitant in trying it as I’ve seen so many posts on here making their tinnitus worse. I’m glad things have cleared up for you though.

Thank you for posting this. Very helpful. I developed tinnitus 5 weeks ago after a lumbar MRI scan. Not only was the machine loud but the music in headphones was too, and stupid me figured it’s only 10 minutes. First I started with hissing in the ears. Then a few days later I had clicking...
