Yes, atleast when people google if these work or not, one of our threads might help them see the truth.

@Lisa Robinson I too have wondered many a times that I might have MS or ALS with the constant body twitching, my carpel tunnel issues due to excessive typing and brain fog at times. It's just the worse. Medical tests and things are so expensive, even doctor visits that it's frustrating.

@engineerLA, did your PT affect you in certain positions like when you bend to touch your feet or maybe to pick up something? Also, glad you posted your experiences online. :)

Now, you are at the stage I am. We have to try the anti-inflammatory route.

Yes, twitching all over, pins and needles, lump on arm, etc. Done it all. An obsessive hypochondriac is what I have become since tinnitus.

Done it all Lisa, and still do. :( Wish I could get better.

Yeah, and I believe since your congestion keeps coming back, it definitely might be what's causing that whooshing sound in your ears. I believe you should try some nasal decongestants and something like neti pot to reduce your symptom of congestion. And get yourself checked by a doctor for your...

Try taking steam and other measures for the blocked nose. I too experience this sound which seems like PT. I have the same sinus issues but the way I am dealing with them is taking steam regularly. Also, ETD + Sinus can sometimes lead to PT due to fluid in the ear. So, you should get that...

@Viking , so in the end, did keppra provide any benefits in terms of Tinnitus?

I noticed that I can cause it a couple of days ago. Earlier it wasn't there.

I don't get the whooshing sound, although I can cause it by bending my head downwards. When I try to touch my feet. The whooshing isn't there unless I cause it by changing my head position. And it's in a couple of positions only that thi whooshing comes.

Hi Neil991, I hope you get better man, and you're in early stages so you could look at the AM101 trials. My T started in a similar fashion, 3 months before you. Unfortunately for us, this is not a condition doctors are familiar with or understand very well, specially the ones we go to. Things...

It's like a rhythmic wind blowing in my ear, which at times feels pulsating but at other times doesn't. The air comes in rhythmic whooshes. Also, feel sudden pressure like rumbling/quivering sometimes which I can make go away or even trigger with a muscle in my ear.

Maybe, but also feels to you know come in waves. The whooshing has a pattern. Sometimes it seems pulsatile, other times it doesn't. Thanks for tips @Kaelon, I'm going to try these and I sure hope you are right. Googling the whooshing gives me only P.T. results which make me afraid. So, I'll not...

Yeah @Kaelon, I hope so. Thanks for being supportive. Today, my nose is blocked pretty badly, so hearing the whooshing whenever I bend my head forward. I just hope it's ETD related. I won't get a doctors appointment before next week, so I have to wait until then. I'll take steam regularly and...

@derpytia I hope you feel better.

Possibly another scam, another person looking to take advantage of the Tinnitus Crowd. http://www.banishtinnitus.com/

Good for you @Kaelon. Hope you get better soon. I too will ask my doctor if I can take prednisone and see if there is some relief. :)

@dan, it only happens in my right ear, not both and it's not there all the time only in certain positions. And it doesn't feel pulsatile. It's like a wave which settles after sometime.

Hi, First of all a Happy New Year to all of you, I wish all of us have spontaneous remission of our T and doctors move one step closer to a cure :) I had begun habituating to my T nicely and was staying off TT, but I just started having this whooshing sound in my right ear when I bend over or...

I think people would know the difference between habituation and T going away. Or Not?

There have been so many studies but also cases of so many people having their T go away. I'm hopeful that these studies are not accurate.

So @tomm, would this mean that Tinnitus becomes an intrinsic mechanism or chronic after 8 weeks and it's resolution becomes much more difficult?

And how is your T now @downtongirl ?

Hi, Do you still have TTTS symptoms?

Hey citigirl13, has your TTTS gone or is it still there?

I know how you feel caracal. I have the same issue but haven't been able to pinpoint why that is? Have you found any soltution to your problem?

Unfortunately, I'm in India, getting into a trial isn't an option. Thanks anyways. I'm trying to cope.

I don't know what the reason was and how it happened but T started in the other ear as well and has been there for a week now. (I wasn't sure if it's there but now I am) No noise exposure, not much stress as I was you know adjusting with the T in the left ear. Should I try and go for HBOT if it...

No Asian, you're not alone. It's just sad that so little is happening for us. I don't know why big pharma isn't getting into Tinnitus to search for possible cures. Is it because they don't think anything is possible? Otonomy, Autofony and Auris are much smaller companies (As far I know).

@attheedgeofscience Is even moderate use of headphones detrimental to hearing? A couple of hours each day at low volumes. Also, although I'm not sure of the accuracy of thee studies but as far as I am aware even excessive use of cellphones has been linked to Tinnitus.

Has anyone had a look at this study? Seems to me intratympanic injections might be something to try out. At least for some people. http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/detalhe_artigo.asp?id=322

I can't describe how loud it is, must be maybe a 4-5 I guess on a scale of 10. Well, I got a 315 in the GRE, so it wasn't bad and well, at that time I had unilateral tinnitus that has now gone bilateral. So, I managed to habituate and give the exam.

Thanks @ampumpkin I'm feeling a bit more positive so, yeah, I'm hopeful that I'll manage somehow. :)

Dannomight, I wish I could say that the sound will go away but I don't know if that's true. Because, I'm stuck with it too. All I know is we need to try and get through the day and live the rest of our lives as happily as we can. So, try and cheer up. I'm trying to do so too and let's hope...

@Larry OT 1) I have chronic sinusitis (But have mostly been symptom free) MRI was clean and I have never really taken any meds (I'm 22 and have relatively been free of diseases thankfully) except ones for tinnitus. and those too were either nasal sprays or vitamins like Gingko. The only...

May his soul rest in peace. :(

@Larry OT I do not know how to go about looking for answers. I haven't really had a lot of tests done. I could've done more I guess, but I have been busy prepping for my GRE's because I'm thinking fo going to grad school. I don't even know what exactly caused my T. Perhaps that's the reason why...

Hi, I'll be going to grad school for my Masters next year in the US. I just gave my GRE and I'm pretty concerned how to deal with tinnitus during exams, school work etc. If there is anybody who has an idea or could just give me some advice it would be great. Because my T just went Bilateral...

Well, the same thing just happened to me as well. T started in my left ear and is now present in both ears.

What is tinnitus? Tinnitus is commonly described as a ringing in the ears, but it also can sound like roaring, clicking, hissing, or buzzing. It may be soft or loud, high pitched or low pitched. You might hear it in either one or both ears. Roughly 10 percent of the adult population of the...

Can thinking about a sound be so powerful as to make you perceive that you can hear it? I don't know how or why but it seems like my tinnitus went from unilateral to bilateral right now with a new tone in the mix. Or is it my "Central" T. I am super confused and irritated. I probably have the...

@Dr. Charlie and @Dr. Nagler Could you please comment on this?

I don't know if I have it in my right ear man. I'm really not sure because, it doesn't bother me as I don't hear it and even when I plug my ears I have to search for it and then maybe it is there. It's just weird.

It is frustrating, isn't it? It's like the phantom noise in the left ear is creating a phantom noise in the right as well. Super weird. I see you got your T from infection. What does your GP say?

Newfie, yes I think it's just my imagination. I fear getting T in my right ear as well so I think its just translating into some sort of psychological ringing that is freaking me out.

Hi! I want to know if there are others with unilateral tinnitus who feel as if their other ear has tinnitus as well. Although my tinnitus is on the left side, sometimes I think its there on the right as well. Is it because of the T being present in the "head"?

I was on tumblr today, and well, I search for tinnitus everywhere and I happened to see this poem http://the-imperfecthuman.tumblr.com/post/104589961778/missing-silence Although, the poem isn't that positive but for some reason it comforted me and gave me hope. I just have to move on and you...

Possibly another scam artist people should avoid. http://reverse-tinnitus.com Reverse My Tinnitus is a scam and contains nothing of value. You should consider implementing sound enrichment into your daily life: http://www.amazon.com/Ecotones-Sound-Sleep-Machine-ASM1002/dp/B002SMJQT4/...

@sdtimpson Did you try tDCS?

Christmas must be close, coz my ears are ringing :P

Welcome Dr Charlie! Absolutely glad to have an ENT here at TT. I think you're helping out a lot of people who are in discomfort and I think that it is a very commendable thing. I'm sure we will all benefit tremendously from your knowledge and expertise. I had a question which pertains to my...

Congratulations @engineerLA. Good to hear about your T. Gives me a lot of hope. Apparently, my chronic sinus issues have caused my T and ETD is related. I'll try your methods and hope for the best. By the way, it's very commendable how you have explained and let us know what all you did to get...

Hi Patrick, I'm 22 and in a very similar position with symptoms almost identical as yours. My ENT thinks sinus issues might be causing the T and curing the sinus might help with curing the T. I experience the same things fullness and T in my left ear. Unexplained. No hearing loss. The MRI...

Hello Dr. Nagler, I hope you're doing well. I've had a very high pitched sound in my left ear (mostly left, sometimes I think it's in the right ear t0o)since the past three months. MRI and all the basic diagnostic tests have been done. Other than chronic sinus issues, I seem to be fine. No...

It's just a request to people who just view this to please also fill this poll even though they might not have tried/experienced any improvement despite trying a few things out.

I sincerely hope so.

This is one question that has befuddled me for quite sometime. Most of the time, the cause of tinnitus remains a mystery ( at least, that's what I've read) but I want to know if any f you feel there are certain steps one should take to eliminate a few causes then what might they be. I'm just...

I'm 22 Marlene and I want to go for my masters soon. Hence, giving the GRE next week and well a couple more exams. And T was unexpected and no, it doesn't discriminate. It was bearable for a while but I'm having a spike now. It's the worst time for the spike.

Just came across Wobenzym. Has anyone tried this?
