    Those with Hyperacusis; Do You Also Have Sinus Problems?

    Yes, I have had sinus issues as long as I can remember. Always a runny nose. Tested for allergies, but I don't have any. But my hyperacusis is definetely from noise damage, although I can't rule out that maybe my sinus issues exacerbates the pain.

    Thank you for all the responses. I really do appreciate it. Michael - I don't really know what caused it. I was slightly ill when it started and thought I was coming down with something but it may have just been allergies.

    My Journey to Silence

    @Melike Noooo, I think it’s the other way around for me. I think the ETD was caused from the TMJD. When my jaw started clicking, the allergies and ETD ensued. The inflammation, in my opnion, causes the ETD and allergies. Once you fix the jaw, all the other issues will go away. I only get ear...

    Will Taking the Same Ototoxic Medication That Originally Caused the Tinnitus Make It Worse?

    Hi. I also have seasonal allergies, ragweed, pollen, trees, dust. An allergist will test you for 30-40 common known allergens and give you injections based on that. For years I had migraines and didn’t like the harsh medication that I had to take. The meds helped the headaches, but sometimes...

    My Tinnitus Is Almost Silent After 2 Months — Don’t Lose Hope If Your Tinnitus Is Recent!

    It very well could be. I'm not as knowledgeable as some others on this forum, being a newbie myself, but you causing tinnitus with the Valsalva maneuver sounds like ETD to me. Also could be allergies or congestion from a cold that you had.

    Tinnitus and Chronic Rhinitis — Reviews on Vogel's Plantago?

    Allergies can indeed exacerbate tinnitus. It is likely to persist for a while (days/weeks) as the inflammation from the reaction clears up, but it should get better.

    Incredible Change in My Tinnitus from Gluten Free Diet

    Yes I’ve taken Aciclovir since 2018. Firstly 2 x 400 mg and now 4 x 200 mg. I’ve had ups and downs with symptoms since taking these. However, I am convinced that my tinnitus had reduced as a result of going gluten free. Early days yet but I suffer with allergies to meds and pollen too.

    Antihistamines & Tinnitus and Ototoxicity — What Is Your Experience?

    Hi, I use regular allergy shots so I can avoid taking medication. They work really well and are probably much safer than medication. There is a prescription for allergies called singulair which doesn’t mention ototoxicity, but you never know.

    Antihistamines & Tinnitus and Ototoxicity — What Is Your Experience?
