Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

My ear fullness started about 1.5 months in, along with pulsatile tinnitus. Given you have had a cold recently, it could be ETD. I have no idea what's causing mine.

EDIT: I have hearing loss.

Thanks @makeyourownluck double ear infection had me terrified this T was morphing into something else glad that's not the case.

I started getting ear fullness during month 3. At month 18 it's not as bad but is still there.

Wow at month 3 huh? Where I'm headed. Did it muffle ur hearing at all?

I guess it's the infection but everytime I swallow/chew/speak there's movement of I guess the middle ear muscles or ETD. Very annoying

No muffled hearing. Just a fullness/pressure, like they need to pop.

Good to know thanks @kingsfan. All symptoms are going down since I started the antibiotic. Hearing no longer muffled

What antibiotic are you taking? Is your tinnitus improving at all?

Taking Clindamycin. T did have some improvement Im not sure if it's from the antibiotic, DMX cold medicine or learning to manage it better by avoiding constant sounds. Will report back in a week or so.

I think anxiety and stress was doing it to me originally .. it seems to have gone tonight my tinnitus is very low almost back to baseline.. only thing i did was started taking my NAC and Acetyl l carnitine 3 times a day together yesterday.. since i was only taking it nac in morning and night with the Acetyl l carnitine once in afternoon
