Ear Blockage Cleaned — Now Tinnitus

[bwspot]

Decided to make an update. Been almost 5 months since the onset of Tinnitus. Still have it. Some days good some days bad.

What I have noticed...

-Tinnitus is now a metal like hiss. Around 10Khz.
-Volume has decreased over time.
-Does spike for random reasons.
-Alcohol seems to help
-Caffeine has no affect
-Wake up with no noise generally
-Gets worse through the day due to it been reactive tinnitus
-Once I go to bed and all goes quite. My tinnitus goes away
-Food types may have an impact. hard to say.
-I can now hide my tinnitus with sounds over time. As though it saturates my auditory system and dampers it.
-Chewing helps alot.
-ACRN for 5 mins makes my tinnitus go away for upto an hour.

Still hopefull it goes away for ever some day....;D

T in both ears from cleaning?

Hi,
My own tinnitus was triggered by having my ears syringed as well. Seems to be a common problem, don't think there is any easy way to remove excess wax from inside the ear without upsetting this delicately balanced organ.

Could be a design fault of nature. The human body has many design faults when you research them. Nature eh, she's a trier god love her.

Take care.

Only one ear was syringed and that developed T
