I do think there's a link between spring allergies and tinnitus. Mine is always worse in the spring, it's worse this spring than every, and for the first time I've been having other allergy symptoms - gagging, congestion, etc that get worse if I spend time outdoors, and others have reported a...

...your tubes are a bit clogged. This would make your tinnitus louder and it happens to me whenever I come down with a cold/virus, or when my allergies are particularly bad. In your case, it's hard to say what the cause is. It could be any number of things including the vaccine. Who here has...

@AfroSnowman, Welcome to Tinnitus Talk. A few things to check- Ear wax Virus TMJ Anaemia Allergies/sinuses Teeth grinding Glue ear Hearing loss Stress Neck problems MRI to rule out other problems Keep posting for support and make some friends along the way. love Glynis

Also, try a sinus rinse for the excess mucus. If it's brought on by allergies than a steroid spray like dymista would help. Breathing in steam is also good for clearing your sinuses and Eustachian tubes. Try adding some menthol as well.

I too am very allergic to grass and tree pollens too. At first i thought allergies where the cause, as my T stared continuously somewhere around the time summer started and i was very irritated by my allergies. But i can't link it with the electrical hiss sound, i think it could cause ETD those...

Hi, I have been prescribed Lecrolyn Sine eye drops for allergies. Started Wednesday evening and am supposed to take one drop in each eye every morning and evening. Today my tinnitus is noticeably higher and my ears are buzzing like crazy constantly. Does anybody know if this medicine is...

Taking a really good antihistamine will help and nose spray, even a little Vaseline up your nose can help allergies. Also the extra mucous can get in your estuation tubes when sleeping so use an extra pillow at night and an allergy pillow . love glynis

Yes it can. Pollen can irritate your sinus and ears making extra mucous that causes tinnitus to flair up so antihistamines will help ease the symptoms. As a sever asthmatic I suffer badly with allergies throughout the year....lots of love glynis

...trying decongestant nasal sprays and taking Sudafed Sinus, but it is taking a while. Haven't tried inhaling steam, I'll try that tonight. As for allergies - I've had symptoms of what I've got now of varying degrees.... I'm not allergic to anything, that I know of, but something is triggering it!

Anti histamine will reduce the inflammation in your sinussen, which means less fluid , and therefore less pressure on the nerves. Whether it will help you or not depends on the cuase of your T. PT might be cuased by allergies/overactive imuunsyteem.

You should go to the doctor. When I had a bad spike and was panicking that's what I did. And to my relief, the doc saw my ears were filled with fluid due to allergies. After a few days my symptoms got better.

@Jonny Price, Welcome to Tinnitus Talk. Keep a diary on how your ear pressure is doing in case you see an ENT in the future. Allergies can cause extra fluid in your eustachian tubes and post nasal drip at night will find its way in your tubes. If you get a mucous taste in your mouth, that...

No one knows... It is possible something in the Eustachian tube was damaged by very loud noise but to assume this is allergies to entirely TMJ related is problematic.

zpack has some possible ototoxicity. You can find details if you google. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10778901 I don't mean to scare you: it's unlikely this happened to you, but you should be aware of the possibility and talk to your doctors about it. There's a chance it'll go away in...

Marlene - yep that's inflammation which is causing your problem most likely. Resolve the inflammation and the T will get better. Note - for bad allergies I really do like the combination of supplements - and especially add in the Chinese medicine (Herba Plus) -- it helps.

I wonder if I have ETD as well, my ears can pop by themselves and also get that crackling when I swallow. It doesn’t happen all the time but enough to get annoying.

Im thinking about getting allergies shots to reduce my symptoms because this has been the worst i have ever been i usually get Eczema and itching but this congestion and T has been a Hell for me has any one tryed them

Agreed, visit the doctor. If you feel fluid in your ears, there may be fluid in your ears... It could be related to allergies, inflammation of/around the Eustachian tubes can cause both a middle ear fluid buildup and tinnitus. (I'm not a doctor, though!)

...tinnitus, but now I'm not too sure about that. My tinnitus has been louder than normal lately, but I figured it might be due to seasonal allergies. After closely monitoring it, I think it could actually be due to the Gabapentin. Toward the end of the day, around my bedtime, my tinnitus has...

Hi there, to be quite honest with you, I have had tinnitus since 88. I have not had any light headedness or dizziness, unless I had vertigo/inner ear infection or since I got allergies in 2009. Now, I have light headedness almost daily.

I started taking Singulair when I was misdiagnosed with allergies and it was the one medication I noticed seemed to help. I figured this out by starting and stopping medications and supplements for weeks at a time and documenting what I heard/how I felt.

...So I guess I will have to wait and see what my ENT decides to recommend for my Eustachian tubes. I suppose it depends on the cause. If it's allergies or something else causing the dysfunction... I am also booked in to see a jaw specialist. I'll ask him if my jaw muscle tension and limited...

@Agrajag364 Dental work definitely was the starter for me, plus horrible allergies and maybe an acoustic trauma. Look at all avenues. I believe my tinnitus was caused by multiple factors, like a glass that eventually overflowed and the T settled in. Good luck!

Pred can induce anxiety, try to calm down. If this med bothers you don't take it. I always have allergies and at one point dr told me to take pred. I refused because, I know pred can induce anxiety and I didn't want any part of it.

...each night for sleep and use herbs during the day (like gingko, vinpocetine and pycnogenol) and have been using quercetin and butterbur for allergies) Well I will give the clonazepam and gabapentin a shot. Guess with the allergies it is difficult to gauge a difference - best of luck to you -...

I have just found out that I have severe allergies after skin allergy tests. I am going to try allergy shots. Has anyone here had any luck with them reducing tinnitus? This ringing drives me nuts at home. I miss my quiet peaceful life.

I take cinnarazine. The normal dose is 5mg tablets for allergies I take 15mg Tablets and can take anything from one up to 6 aday as prescribed by AnE and my doctor. At that strength it helps treat Menieres and Tinnitus....lots of love glynis

I took it for years and found I could do well on one 10mg cut in half and taken about once every two or three days. Good news is my allergies seem to have settled down to where I only rarely have to take anything for them.

What is the active ingredient that antihistamine? Wow, it sounds like you've hit on something there, Eric. Take a look at this from WebMD: http://www.webmd.com/allergies/stuffy-ears-sinuses#1 Or you can find more by Googling: sinus and ear popping

No. I was taking Flonase and Claritin for a month. Now a break before my spring allergies hit.

...inflamed for the past 1.5 years. - No I haven’t had any procedures where metal was placed, unless dental fillings count? I only have these on the bottom teeth (top ones are all white fillings). - Known allergies are: nickel, cobalt, latex and gluten. I believe these started a few years ago.

I don’t know how to explain it, just a loud sounding sensation but not a loud high pitch ring. I did develop allergies when I was younger but wouldn’t the antihistamines have solved this issue??
