Hello,
I'm new, obviously. I just thought I might as well present my case to see if anyone has any suggestions, similar experiences, or answers.
I am current 18 years old. About a year and a half ago my tinnitus started after I was cleaning my ear with one of those ear pipette things. I also had a cold. It is only in my right ear and it started immediately after spraying the water in. At first it was a lower tone that gradually got higher to what it is today. It is a constant tone and it goes on 24/7 I wouldn't say it is extremely loud however it is defiantly noticeable in any sort of quitish environment. The volume has also remained consent.
A few things I have learned about it is if I turn my head all the way to the right to the point of not being able to turn it anymore, it becomes louder. The same is true if I move my jaw, however it makes different noises depending on the direction I move my jaw. I have also noticed that if I place my ear up to for example a vibrating neck messager and hold it there for a little bit, once I take it off the ringing will be completely gone for a few seconds and then return with a different tone that eventually goes back to the original. It also seems to be louder in the morning, as well as after I exercise.
I've gone to my PCP who referred my to an ENT who referred me to an audiologist who referred me to a chiropractor. I'll just list their findings.
PCP
-No earwax
ENT
-Did exam and couldn't find anything obvious.
-Gave me the steroid pack which I tried and found no relief.
-Did an MRI to check for an Acoustic neuroma and didn't find anything.
Audiologist
-Did hearing test and confirmed that I have exceptional hearing at all tones.
chiro
-Did 3 sessions with a focus on the neck. No change.
I've also tried Ginko for 3 months and did not notice a difference. Like I said, if anyone has any suggestions based on the information I provided or a similar experience I would be happy to hear it.
Thanks!
