    At My Wit's End — Tinnitus from a Combination of Neomycin, Z-Pak and Methylprednisolone

    It's important to calm down and manage to sleep, so your ears can heal. I couldn't sleep for the first 3 weeks, my brain was running in circles trying to find a solution, scared from what I had read online. On top of that there was a mockingbird close by that screamed every single night. Those...

    At My Wit's End — Tinnitus from a Combination of Neomycin, Z-Pak and Methylprednisolone

    I was prescribed Neomycin-Polymyxin for an alleged ear infection over the phone by an ENT. 5 days into putting the drops, I visited him in person and he mumbled that I must have had a "little" swimmer's ear infection. To add to the injury from the ototoxic medication, he cleaned my earwax with...

    Hello everyone, just wanted to share my experience. I apologize for the long story in advance, but I am just trying to put every detail in it. My journey with tinnitus started in October 2021.

    My Story: Popping When Swallowing

    It's criminal how little most ENTs know or care about ear related issues. And how behind research is. I totally lost faith in them since last year when I developed tinnitus out of nowhere in one ear and didn't have a clue what that was. I was sincerely thinking that when I visited an ENT they...

    My Story: Popping When Swallowing

    I didn't feel immediate results from the Prednisone, so it's hard to tell. I think it's more the passing of time that helped. Stopped the steroid nasal spray after a few weeks because it was making my bad ear feel like it's exposed. Maybe some patulous Eustachian tube symptom? Replaced it with...

    My Story: Popping When Swallowing

    I have the same symptom. It started about 2 months ago after a visit to an ENT that cleaned the earwax from my ears with micro suction in one ear that caused hyperacusis and tinnitus in that ear. The popping sound when swallowing is louder and was slightly painful in the beginning in that ear...
