    My Experience with Eustachian Tube Blockage/ETD Related Tinnitus — It Gets Better

    Hi kmiki, Sorry for the late reply, hope you are doing better. I would say I have had a lot of progress. When I first had my issue it was definitely very loud and would hear it over the TV. I was super depressed for a month because I felt like this was my life now. Now I have a very low level...

    Can Sleeping with Earplugs Make Tinnitus Worse? Are Wax or Foam Earplugs Better for Sleeping?

    I don't see why sleeping with only one earplug is bad. I do this too when it is noisy outside. It's not like your ears are connected to each other. I would just advise to sterilize them, or dispose every night, to prevent infection.

    My Experience with Eustachian Tube Blockage/ETD Related Tinnitus — It Gets Better

    Hi all, so I saw an ENT yesterday, they did more hearing tests, tympanogram, and he also stuck a camera through my nose deep in and looked at my Eustachian tube. Based on all the tests and his camera, he said I do not have ETD. He said right side of my jaw was somewhat tight, and also my right...

    My Experience with Eustachian Tube Blockage/ETD Related Tinnitus — It Gets Better

    I think it helped a lot, I felt no pressure change in my ear. May I ask what your tinnitus sounds like? For me it was an amplification of my existing, low level hissing I've always had throughout my life. Small update - I was getting better but got a flu/cold (negative COVID-19 rapid test)...

    My Experience with Eustachian Tube Blockage/ETD Related Tinnitus — It Gets Better

    I thought Flonase made it worse, but I have been taking it for around 2 months now and it seems to have no effect, or is helping me. I think the first spike I experienced was probably because I didn't shake it well, and shot it straight up into my sinus instead of perpendicular into my...

    My Experience with Eustachian Tube Blockage/ETD Related Tinnitus — It Gets Better

    I think ETD may develop from noise as a barotrauma. Noise is sound pressure and if too much pressure happens or is concentrated at your ears then perhaps it can lead to ETD.

    My Tinnitus Started While Having the Flu — Maybe Related to Jaw/Neck/Dental Issues

    Can you share the stretches and massages that you do? I had an ear infection, it’s gone but my ear still has some pressure. When I clench my teeth it gets louder. Its a sound I’ve always perceived, mainly when sick or light headed or when I have a migraine, so either I still have fluid in my...

    Starting to Think My Tinnitus Is Mostly Psychosomatic?

    I think this is my scenario currently... Basically I got some ETD from a loud noise or ear infection. I didn't have any tinnitus until I took Mometasone nasal spray a week later. Suddenly I got really loud hissing in both ears that lasted for a few days. I won't go into too much detail as I...

    Hi everyone, I would like to share my experience with tinnitus, as when I googled my issues I came across many people in a similar situation on Tinnitus Talk, which helped me a lot. Hopefully this post can help others on here, and those who come here through Google (like me). Around end of...
