Hi, Hope things got better? Generally, grommets make it harder to experience bass and everything sounds tinny/hollow while they're in. So I think you are describing a low tinnitus frequency that has been brought on by the grommet? Assuming that you don't have another underlying condition...

Indeed. It's been a further 3 weeks later and it's still absolutely terrible. Been back to the ENT doctors multiple times and they all told me they don't see anything physically wrong with the ear tubes and that I should wait a further 2 months before deciding if I want them out. I begrudgingly...

Hi, I had grommets (ventilation tubes) put in my eardrums a few weeks ago to treat Patulous Eustachian Tube. I guess it has helped with that particular issue, but since then my tinnitus has spiked considerably. It was really bad initially and I was very stressed over it. I was putting it down...

Sorry I've been inactive for a while. Thanks for your input on this Selah. That is indeed interesting although I'm not sure it quite matches my experience. I'll research a bit more on it when I have the time later. Hi Greg. Been like this maybe a good year now.

Hi all, Been a while since I last posted on this forum. Seeking advice or similar experiences on this issue. Sorry if I ramble on, I tend to do that. I have otosclerosis which caused my hearing to get really bad over about 2 years. I had a stapedectomy on my right ear (it was much worse than...

Thanks a lot for your response and going through my questions. I'm feeling a bit more positive about it now. Yeah I think I've just got to weather this storm and keep positive that there's relief waiting for me on the other side! God I wish I could just have this packing removed right now...

Hi all, Been a while since I posted on Tinnitus Talk. I've recently had exploratory ear surgery and a subsequent stapedectomy/stapedotomy (cant remember which one) on my right ear after the doctors found evidence of otosclerosis. Before the surgery I did have bad tinnitus in my right ear as it...

I dunno if it's maybe just normal or not but anyone else come across this situation? My unexplained hearing loss and tinnitus has been gradually getting worse over 2 years but I've realised that when I tap my ear, or around the ear, any sound around me comes through significantly louder and...

Sorry to hear you're going through it to Margaretz. Yeah grommets were a desperate effort but i should've known they weren't going to help. Very much looking forward to the day they drop out. I still believe this could be Otosclerosis that I have. If it isn't then it's something with identical...

they crackle and pop a bit as the Eustachian tubes open but then the air just blows through the grommets that i now have my ears so it's more like a wind tunnel. Grommets were a bad idea, its not helped anything. I've recently looked in to Otosclerosis and after comparing my symptoms i think...

I had the camera up the nose thing a while back. He said it looked a little inflamed and it's likely I have some sort of eustachian tube problem. I didn't get much more out of it tbh. I think the ENT doctors are not very adept at diagnosing and fixing these issues. They originally said it would...

Thanks for the response. Good to know that hearing aids can be of benefit! Hopefully a cure can come about. It wouldn't go amiss right now :banghead:

Hello. I'm James and live in the UK, I'm 27 years old. I've pretty much never made an account on a forum like this and posted before. I've reached a point now where it feels like nothing is working or can work. I'm feeling desperate and i'm looking for any advice for people who are suffering...
