Cause of Tinnitus
Trauma??Ear infection? Meds??
Hello! I've had T about six years or so. I have a bad cold and I'm really congested. My T seems a lot louder. Is this normal?? Thanks:)
 
When I've had a bad sinus infection my T seems louder. Likely because I'm congested and can't hear as a result.

But when that happens I don't notice the T, as I feel pretty lousy from the illness....
 
Aha. Yes my ears are def clogged! I normally notice my T unless I am outside or there's lots of background sounds but it doesn't bother me. I have just noticed the last few days at work it's been annoying me and that doesn't normally happen. Sure it will go back to normal once the congestion reduces. Thanks!!
 
Try taking some mucous linctus and steam inhalation and a extra pillow at night it should help a bit to clear your tubes
....lots of love glynis
