Cold and Existing Tinnitus

[Thongjy]

Can anyone tell me based on your experience does having a cold with symtoms of running nose and blocked nose affect your T or your hearing?

 

[Kittyl]

Yes.

 

[Thongjy]

Yes.

How does that affect the existing T?

My friend said his tinnitus gets worse when he's got a cold, for me, I wouldn't know. Guess it does, but could differ, person to person.

 

[SoulStation]

Mine does. Ears are more inflamed so things seem louder.

 

[MattK]

Absolutely yes. Especially if I have sinus and ear congestion. My T will magnify greatly. Getting a cold that causes congestion (or allergies) spikes my tinnitus so much that it's almost like starting all over for me. At least that's how it was last time.

Any more experiences?
