...treated with Z-paks. I visited a local ENT last week, and he prescribed a round of Z-paks. He suggested that I might be developing allergies, which, if untreated, can lead to more frequent sinusitis. To address this, he also prescribed Claritin and Flonase. By the way, when prescribed...

I am taking a supplement of Quercetin. Good stuff! Anybody else?

You better consult your doctor before stopping any medication. Stopping medication half way can cause even more problems. If you have allergies, steaming, keeping your room clean, cleaning/changing pillows and bedsheets regularly, humidifier will greatly help reduce the symptoms of...

It could be down to seasonal allergies that cause extra mucus in your tubes. love glynis

Flonase, possibly zyertec. You might possible try nasal washes as well. I have bad allergies myself and I feel like my ears are always full. Possibly use a humidifier in the house. Hope you feel better :)

...Then they ran bloodwork (AGI??) and found that I was steroid responsive which was AIED conclusive. I live in Tennessee and have severe allergies to most of the trees. My ENT said that my AIED is believed to be cause by allergies.. I have bi-lateral hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears...

@Vanessa Yanez, welcome to Tinnitus Talk. Cetirizine is an antihistamine for allergies. It can reduce tinnitus for some people with Meniere's Disease on a 15mg dose. Love, Glynis

@J M - could ringing be from allergies too?

Does anyone here have allergies where the only symptom is dizziness? no other symptoms. Just dizziness?

I dont have T my allergies are the cause of the T im hopping that when my allergies go away the T will gi away ( most likely it will )

Hey sorry what your going through. Hope it clears up. Doctor I saw recently said mine was to do with allergies as well, I have swollen tonsills, blocked nose, infection and chronic sinsus. I am not holding my breath though because I have had tinnitus 13 months now and it's not shifted yet so...

Allergies can make your ears hot and for some people cause a feeling of itching inside and a scratching feeling in the throat. Try to notice what you react to. It could be external allergies or things in food like E numbers, artificial sugar like saccharine. I hope you find the problem as...

And today I just got sick or allergies keep sneezing runny nose my whole family was sick so now they got me sick both my ears feel full and now I can't pop both of them but I can barely feel or hear the fluttering witch is good I guess been taking antihistamines this is getting annoying tho...

..., Like you I suffered greatly from a dental procedure affecting my nose and sinus area but was put down to a sinus problem and my allergies but after letting them know What I had done they said it was possible. Happy to say over a year it all calmed down and now gone and just allergies as...

Much of the non noise related tinitus is caused by allergies and sinus issues.

...have tinnitus and i'm very sorry that it's very loud sometimes. I hope you can keep your hope up. You write that your cause of tinnitus is allergies. You may be able to get rid of your tinnitus if it's caused by allergies. You've come to an awesome website with lots of caring members and...

^ and then it's not Meniere's, but a temporary side effect of allergies. ;)

Has your T improved any?

I liked the little hamster and his palace. My allergies are so bad. Send me a PM. ;)

...which can cause inflammation in the sinus and eustachian tube and these can cause ringing ear. Here is a site that explain the linkage of allergies and hearing loss plus perhaps tinnitus. Hope you continue to recover. All the best to you. God bless...

Sounds like allergies and might need a stronger antihistamine or steroid nasal spray... Love glynis

@dbth yeah I def won’t be attending any concerts or firework shows anytime soon lol but my ENT told me that my Tinnitus was caused by allergies, and that by treating my allergies with shots, my T will get better with time. I’ve been on the shot since may but I still haven’t noticed difference...

Anyone’s H spike with allergies? I always get them this time of year. Wondering if it might be contributing to my H spike.

@Dr. Charlie, I have been diagnosed with Endolymphatic Hydrops. I was tested for food allergies, but none showed up as being problematic. Is wheat something I should still avoid? I do have ragweed, mold, allergies and am taking shots. Thanks P.S. I am a dog lover as well. Our family...

probably by a virus infection. (had and have allergies at the same time as well).

some meds/treatments can have side effects. Allergies can also cause issues as well.....

@billie48 if the tinnitus is from allergies, does that mean it can possibly go away or not? Damage is done?

...earplugs. I listen to music in earbuds, but nothing too loud. But this really started out of nowhere on a day when I had REALLY bad allergies. This is also the first year I've had allergies, so this might be something that comes with it. I'm not really sure. I'm also only 20 so it's not like...

Allergies cause extra mucous and can get in your eustation tubes spiking tinnitus. Love glynis

Allergies surely play assistants to the devil of tinnitus in torturing the victims.

Yeah, that's really dumb, because I have allergies and get sinus infections a lot

That's interesting, as that sounds different from tinnitus. Does anything trigger it, like talking, exercising, sneezing, etc.? I meant some combination of allergies and/or allergy meds being the cause. Did the antihistamines change the condition at all?

Trying to write but my sinuses/allergies seem hellbent on forcing me to take antihistamines which make me sleepy

Thanks. Don't have a cold. Just got tested for allergies. Only have a tiny reaction to mold. Just had my ear cleaned too:(

Adorable! I'm jealous. Wish I could have a kitty cat but these darn allergies won't allow me to. :( (sigh) We do have a super snuggly mini-schnauzer and a chinchilla that lives for snuggles. :)

I would. (Actually, I do take it--for spring pollen allergies. It works great.)

It could be, but I'd recommend to go down a serious diagnosis path because it could be many things. Here is a flow chart you can follow with your doc.

Thank you, makes sense! I'm pretty sure it is allergies related to the dry desert climate I live in. It has been windy quite often the past several months however, normally my allergies present with sneezing runny nose, etc; but not now. I haven't had allergies bother me in over a year and a...

Sure thing, Eric. I'm glad to hear you don't have sleep issues in general. This is an interesting theory. Have you been logging your tinnitus flair-ups with whether your allergies or sinuses are acting up? (Or is that even trackable?) I hope it all settles down for you in any case.

...throat", popping ears, and a little ear pressure. I was blaming the throat on the diuretics I am taking and the ear pressure on the M. But now I am wondering if it is allergies. I have been sneezing but no sinus pressure or watery eyes. Hmmmm...... Maybe I should get tested for allergies.

@Sam Bridge, It could be related to allergies and extra mucus going in your Eustachian Tubes. love Glynis

Good stuff. I stand corrected.

@breejo, It could just be due to allergies causing extra mucus that gets in your Eustachian Tubes. love glynis

The doctors have checked my ears and told me there is no fluid or congestion and have had no colds or allergies recently :( Just trying to stay strong for now

Hi everyone, allergy shots are the best way to treat allergies. There are no side effects, and they are very effective. Going this route is somewhat inconvenient but well worth it.

Hi, sorry to hear about your situation. For allergies, I have been taking allergy shots for 25 years, and they help tremendously. My tinnitus started 3 years ago, and the shots haven’t affected my ears. Good luck.

Anyone take allergy medications and has it had any affect on your tinnitus?its spring,my allergies are awful,taking Claritin.

I had intramuscular injections. I had first course after a spike due to MRI, I think it helped a bit. Other two were combination of spikes due to noise exposure and allergies, mostly allergies. Thankfully I feel better now.

I have been using Nasonex for allergies, during the summer months for years without problems, but since my tinnitus got a bit worse last fall it actually seems to cause a high frequency spike. Not sure what to do this summer, I think there are some alternatives without corticosteroids but they...

A major cause of tinnitus is mast cell activation. It’s more than allergies. Antihistamine issue is complicated, as they dehydrate you and if you are yin deficient (Chinese medicine) this can spike your T. I have also been told by an integrative GP that getting your allergies under control...

...sensation, I wondered if it was from the headphones, so I took them off. Things calmed down, and I assumed the burning was just from allergies, as it's that time of the year. Then, about a week later, I started experiencing stabbing pains in my ears. At first, I didn't notice it was happening...

...There's already an overwhelming surfeit of data to sift through and that's part of the problem and what causes people to panic. I've checked and have discounted sinus problems, allergies & TMJ already – they are not probable causes for the intense crunching in the ear every time I swallow.

@slipware , Sorry to hear this. Do you have allergies or sinus problem or TMJ ? Love glynis

I know it's too old but anyway. I'm going to take fexofenadine for allergies as well any comnent on that? I asked an Ent and he told me it's safe but still I'm not sure if I'm gonna give it a try.

thanks to all for positive stories!! and for those still suffering i wish all the best.. mine t came with being sick + have allergies and it is much better after 2 months... one of my eustacian tubes was blocked for a month and my hearing way worse on the side but returned completly. t in one...

..., Not sure where it came from i was sick a week ago with “ flueds “ in my ear . But today i went to ENT and he said he dont believe it was cause from allergies or ear infection due to him not seeing any fluids . Im scared very scared , but maybe ill hang in there . Gives me hope seeing other...

I take fexofenadine all year round for allergies to help reduce the extra moucus in my tubes . Love glynis
