I can't really see any mould right now. I just worry its behind walls or in my pillows/mattress and has caused my issues.

Hi all, I got tinnitus a couple of years ago out of the blue. A week later I had all these other bizarre symptoms that slowly passed. Had MRI/blood tests etc that all came back mostly fine. One thing that was identified was really low Vitamin D and positive EBV test. About 2 months after I...

Me and my girlfriend both got tinnitus within a short time span. I've had some dizziness and other stuff happen. Mine was worse than my girlfriends. Wonder if there is an answer to this.

I have tinnitus in mostly my left ear but I've noticed that my hearing in my right ear is worse. I never paid attention to this stuff before I got tinnitus. Mine T isn't noise induced, I think its from some kind of infectious disease/condition/virus like EBV, Lyme or some kind of Mycoplasma.

I am sorry to hear you are going through this. Thanks for the explanation, it is scary for a few moments but it passes quite quickly. Strange how the frequencies change so much. I think I have some ETD issues too, my ears click whenever I talk or make certain sounds.

I am not too worried about it, but I feel like it may be indicative of something else going on. I have these flare ups of symptoms (mostly fatigue and neurological stuff), and it has happened twice now. It all started with the fleeting T which then turned into permanent T.

Whilst I think you could be right, I think there is something else causing it.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have come across several people online who have experienced this kind of fleeting tinnitus that I get from time to time. I feel like it may be a clue to what condition I actually have as it is such a specific phenomenon.

Hi all, About a year and a half ago I randomly got tinnitus (still have it)and then that was followed by all of these other weird symptoms that came and went. Many symptoms have unfortunately returned and I am trying to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. So this phenomenon happened to...

This is interesting, I have considered an acupuncturist but it's just so expensive.

About a year and a half ago, I started to have all of these goofy symptoms: tinnitus, brain fog/de-realization, occasional pins/needles in hands and feet, fatigue, dizziness and a bunch of other things. All scans/blood tests came back clear but for acute Epstein-Barr Virus (mono, glandular...

Ok so not sure if anybody cares or can help, but here is an update: The feeling of fullness has mostly subsided but I am left with a kind of unpleasant low pitched drone sound when I push on my right earlobe. In addition, these past couple of days I have felt somewhat crappy and tired...

No, this happened a while ago but no loud noise exposure that I know of. She hardly ever wears headphones and does not go out to any clubs or anything like that, so I feel it is very unlikely. I now seem to have some kind of REACTIVE tinnitus which I did not have before. I feel like I can hear...

At the height of the problems I was having a year and a half ago, my ears were fluttering when trying to fall asleep. As far back as I remember, whenever sound is coming into my left ear only, my right ear vibrates/hammers/flutters, which is uncomfortable but not painful. I suspect I could have...

I'm not sure. I had all sorts of strange symptoms happening when the tinnitus started and no doctor could officially diagnose anything. In addition to T, my ears frequently click when talking and swallowing. I think I can handle this new T, but I am struggling with this sensation of pressure...

Hi all, I first got tinnitus about a year and a half ago. Was a high pitched tone, varied in severity but I had eventually habituated and it really stopped bothering me. Today I have a new tone in the right ear, a bit deeper than the left ear but now there is an accompanying feeling of...

Any updates Zora?

I have slight hyperacusis and my left ear also vibrates/flutters when it is quiet and sounds are coming from my right side. I had a one week period where I couldn't sleep, where my ear would completely go on the fritz and flutter like crazy when I was about to fall asleep. It was quite...

Just an update, the volume of the T has reduced. I would say even quieter than what it was prior to the spike which is strange.

I might give it a try. I do confess that my tinnitus isn't THAT terrible, but I'd rather it be gone than not.

If anyone needs help with gluten-free/primal/paleo (whatever you want to call it), I usually get most of my information from www.marksdailyapple.com I've been following a no gluten/sugar/additive diet for a while now and it works for me. Helps me keep my weight down and feel better. It's hard...

I need help with this too.

Hi all, no idea if I should try this stuff. I posted this in another thread if someone can help me at all? These are things I have noticed that might contribute to my tinnitus: -One nostril is always blocked. The nostril changes from time to time but if I block the clear nostril, then the...

I live in Australia (Perth) and am considering Chi-Kung for tinnitus and other health issues. Do you have any recommendations on where to start? Online? Find an instructor online?

Hi all, I think I'm going to try some of these things as I'm sure my tinnitus has something to do with my Eustachian tube(s?) Can anyone guide me in what NOT to do/other important things, as I do not want to get this wrong and risk further damage. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Glynis. Does anybody know much about how the nose affects the ears/tinnitus? These are things I have noticed that might contribute to my tinnitus and i'm thinking about seeing an ENT to get something done in the hope that it helps tinnitus: -One nostril is always blocked. The nostril...

I haven't had that much mucous trouble but I will try the steam technique. Do I need to buy a device or is shower steam ok?

Thanks for your comments. At the moment I currently do feel much better. The flu has passed for the most part. Now that I'm ok I've noticed my ears are screaming.

I'm not sure if the flu affected it. Maybe it did. Maybe it was the meds I took as I was in lots of pain. I wish I could figure out why my eyes feel like they can't focus fully even though my vision isn't actually affected. This happened about the time my tinnitus did. It's kind of like my...

I'm not sure where my T stems from or what caused it. I have a few other odd symptoms such as clicking around the cheek/ear area when I talk, and my eyes always feel kind of fuzzy. The eye thing is hard to explain, but it's like if I stare at something, it feels like my eyes are trying to look...

Hi all, My tinnitus seems to have increased today. Doesn't feel temporary either. I just had the flu for about 6 days so an wondering if that had anything to do with it. Just looking for some help or advice as now it's much louder and it's kind of new to me. I didn't have T really in my...

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. I am glad to hear that you have found something that works for you.

Hmm, I'd say mine is like a click/pop and sometimes it sounds like two small bones are rubbing together? I wouldn't say its sharp or very powerful but its a bit annoying. Also I realised, my tinnitus started and just recently re-started in the other ear, while I was in my computer room. I'm...

Yes its not fun. Mine almost feels as if there is some kind of sticky/mucousy. Sometimes just sounds like a little popping sound. Usually when I swallow or say words with K sounds (cookie as an example).

Hi all, I've had T since about June in my left ear. Not the worst thing in the world and was tolerable. I was having all sorts of other crazy symptoms and tested positive for EBV (Mono, Glandular Fever etc.). I figured EBV was the cause of my symptoms and I've been getting better (took about 4...

Thank you for that.

Update: Haven't taken the carnosine for about 2 days as I've not been home, it seems the tinnitus has gotten louder. Still quieter than original volume but definitely can hear the T in the left ear. I will start taking the carnosine again when I'm home and see how I go. If someone can brief me...

I don't think so. I have not had days where the T has been this quiet. It has gotten objectively quieter for me since taking the Carnosine. Again I don't know if this is a long term solution, and I still have some kind of tinnitus and ear noises, but there has been a reaction to taking the...

Will give you my experience. Note that my GP's suggest my symptoms/tinnitus is related to either Epstein Barr Virus or some kind of Lyme disease and I'm quite certain my T is not to do with hearing/ear damage. My tinnitus is in one ear and quite high pitched, some days it would be quite piercing...

My T is nothing like this. My T is constant and does not change if I clench/push/whatever, I think it was brought on by Epstein-Barr virus. I don't believe I have any hearing loss either. Hopefully the virus symptoms pass and so does the tinnitus...

Ok thanks, I can clear my ears but it still worries me. What are your thoughts after 8 sessions?

Yes please. I have done one session and I felt it made T worse in my other ear and got me a bit scared to go back. Side note: I think my tinnitus is caused by Epstein Barr, which is causing some sinus congestion so there could be some Eustachian tube issues.

Dosage anyone?

Bump in case anyone else has some insight regarding tinnitus/my symptoms + EBV.

True, but the GP said they test indicated that I was infected recently.

Ok just went to my GP today, confirmed I have positive test for Epstein Barr and the test shows it's recent too. GP says my symptoms are not typical symptoms of the virus but I've no idea. I guess if it's EBV I may have given it to my girlfriend who also had tinnitus now as well as some...

I mean I'd love to but that's just not an option. I was going to try stay at my girlfriends place for a week to see if it's something related to my house. I hate that my right ear started ringing, I wish doctors could help or give me something to prevent this all from getting worse.

[Sorry for the barrage of posts] I think at this point that whatever is causing my tinnitus, is not related to hearing damage at least. The thing that gives me hope is that some other condition/issue is causing this and maybe resolving that will resolve the tinnitus. The thing is, it's just so...

Now I seem to have a high pitched tinnitus in my right ear as well as my left ear..... Sigh :sick:

Congrats! What did your t sound like?

Thanks for your concern. I have seen lots of doctors over the past month including the emergency room. All tests came back ok. MRI of the head was fine, blood work showed low vitamin d and that's about it. I'm going to assume the same thing for my girlfriend as she's reasonably healthy...

Ok so my girlfriend just texted me (she's out of town) and she's starting to feel dizzy. I also felt dizzy about a week after my tinnitus started then everything else kicked off. I'm praying she doesn't have the same symptoms as me as it was a nightmare. Can this be a strain of virus that is...

I have a satellite dish on my roof for the subscription TV service. I've noticed another symptom, when I breath in heavily through my nose, my ears feel plugged up, then I need to do the valsalva (sp) manoeuvre to unblock them. Is this normal? Could this indicate a sinus problem? I'm just so...

I just did my first session a couple hours ago. Not sure what the depth was, paid about $65 for an hour. I have had high pitched tinnitus for about 4 weeks now, not sure if I should continue the HBOT as I'm scared ear popping from the pressure might cause damage. Anyone have any thoughts on...

Keep us updated, I only thought of it as a possibility if the tinnitus is inflammation related, but of course who really knows!

I have no hearing loss according to headphone beep test (I'm sure there is a technical name for it). Thanks RaZaH. I really appreciate your input.

Thanks RaZaH. I will try maybe my parents or girlfriends place for a bit and see how I go. I've been living in this house three years now and my symptoms all started VERY suddenly, so in that regard it doesn't sound like mould but I cannot disregard it.
