Hi, I am in the UK and have an MRI scheduled for Friday. I watched a video with the sound of the machine and it terrified me and made me anxious and worried that the sound would make my tinnitus worse. I sent an online consultation to my GP today asking if I could maybe get a CT scan instead...

@Shera thanks, I don’t have a bath but I try to shower with the door and window closed so it all streams up. Hope it goes away because I can’t take it much longer.

@ASilverLight thanks for your reply. Hope it does go away for both of us. I’m so upset because it spikes when I eat something like chocolate and I feel like it has taken so much from life where I can’t even eat a treat! When you say yours is improving, has it slowly gone down or does it go up...

Thanks. Hope it does go away along with the tinnitus but it’s been 12 weeks. I’m up and down like a yo-yo mentally.

Thank you for your reply. I still have the crackling ears and they feel a bit full but not as much as before. Haven’t seen an ENT due to the coronavirus. The tinnitus is getting me down and I don’t know what to do. My doctor just gave me steroid nose drops.

Hi Dr Nagler, Thank you for your time. I developed tinnitus 3-4 weeks ago. It accompanied one vertigo attack (couple of days prior). Then I had a feeling of fullness in my ear and felt lightheaded. About the same time I started taking diphenhydramine hydrochloride to help sleep. I took it...

Hi everyone. Been feeling quite down. Had tinnitus and a muffled ear briefly in December. Then it started again but worse in February (18th or 19th.) This time I had ear fullness and felt lightheaded. No muffled ear. Crackling when I swallow. The ear fullness still persists (but not as much)...
