Hey all,
I have mild to slightly loud tinnitus that I have gotten used to. It spikes at night so I use masking you tube videos on my laptop and I can mask it no problem.
About 5 days ago I started feeling a bit sick and my ear that has T (from a ruptured ear drum) started to hurt.
I called the ENT and he took me in right away. He said there is no infection and it is most likely a cold. When he put the instrument in my ear he did press up pretty hard against my ear drum though.
The next day I had a MAJOR increase in T.
I do have a lot of sinus pain and allergy symptoms so I am hoping that is the cause for my spike.
Actually I am hoping it is a spike and not permanent because it is so loud I cant even mask it.
I am steaming every couple of hours and using my Avamys nasal spray but it isn't bringing this spike down. Really don't know what to do, I just can't get used to this new volume. Really feeling helpless.
