    Marijuana / Cannabis and Tinnitus

    I use cannabis at least 3 or 4 times a week. Smoking seems to increase the volume of my tinnitus, likely due to allergies/sinus issues; recently switched to edibles, which have no effect as far as I can tell.

    Getting Worse and Worse...

    Probably your allergies. Take some antihistamine for a few days and that should clear most of it up.

    @Vicky17 Hi Vicky Yes I do. Many things can cause ear fullness like acoustic neuroma, vestibulocochlear dysfunction, ETD, TMJ, allergies, presbycusis, infection, viruses, ear wax, allergies, etc. - Most Physical therapists can help if needed. Wishing you the very best. I should add for...

    ...few weeks to see if that helps. So far, I haven't noticed much of a difference, but I’m willing to give it time, as I feel fine otherwise. Allergies in Missouri have been brutal this year, with many people experiencing sinus issues, dizziness, and other problems. Apparently, I’m not alone in...

    9 . I had a severe rash covering all of my body out of nowhere. All my life I did not have any allergies . None. But it had to happen. I took Medrol which caused me even more severe vertigo and this lead me to the doctor that fucked me up.

    If Flonase Makes My Tinnitus Go Away, Does That Mean It's from My Allergies?

    I would say if you're doing something and it is decreasing your tinnitus then there's a very good chance those two things are related. Allergies can surely be a culprit of T. Keep up with the Flonase if it's working for you and maybe see an ENT or allergist. Summer can be a bad time for people...

    Hello, Floaters and Buzzing Ear Here!

    ...feel once I have shifted the sinus problem I have at the moment - which I think must have built up over a couple of months from low lying allergies (very low lying as I wasn't aware that I had allergies until I spoke to my doctor!) maybe my buzzing will return to the backgound where I can...

    Does Anybody Else Have Hyperacusis That "Flips" from Ear to Ear?

    No allergies. Don't smoke. No cold. I'm going to try to get a CT Scan. I'm fairly confident my distortions are the result of cumulative exposure to insane levels of noise (100dB+) but I don't know, this sinus issue started simultaneously. I'm not optimistic but it'd be nice to rule it out. Plus...

    Marlene, once again, my experience is that food sensitivities and/or allergies are more likely to be a causative factor in Endolymphatic Hydrops. Not inhalant allergies, which manifest as rhinitis, itching eyes, etc. However, anything that sets off the immune system in one area may spill over...

    Allergies/Inflammation Causing Tinnitus

    Anyone's Tinnitus Caused by Allergies? If So, What Medication Have You Tried to Get Relief?

    ...hearing. This tinnitus started 2 months ago right after I had a throat infection and right after I stopped taking the zpack antibiotics. It has never stopped. I also have allergies but a lot of the meds can make tinnitus worse so I don’t take anything for allergies now because I’m scared to.

    Tinnitus Worse After Endoscopic Surgery (Clearing Sinuses, Septoplasty, Turbinate Reduction)

    Hi @SectorClear -- I have a friend who grew up in Michigan with the "worst" allergies. At age 19, she went to a chiropractor who did a technique on her called "nasal specific". It used a balloon to open up her sinuses, and she said she never had a problem with allergies after that. I met her...

    Is Cetirizine OK to Take? Can It Make Tinnitus Worse?

    It's strange that it happened the day after though. I also hope it doesn't happen the day after every time I go biking, that would suck. lol I also have sinus problems where I always wake up stuffy so I should prob look into my allergies as well. Maybe a humidifier might help while I sleep.
