Hi I've got T plus allergies ( rhinitis) and swaying / rocking balance all running together daily,the headaches are the pits,paracetamol no good,but I went onto Migraleve,and the difference to headache much improved on them,I think maybe some of us with T may just suffer from some sort of...

The antihistamines aren't prescribed, I just take them because I know I have allergy problems. Do you think my tinnitus could be from ETD and that steaming will help it go away?

aliglitter, Please don't pop your ears. That's how I got tinnitus. You might be suffering from allergies, or allergies might be making your tinnitus worse. I don't have any classic allergy symptoms, but my ears often feel full. I take inhaled steroids for them. I don't like taking...

For me I have to keep clearing my throat. My allergies have always been bad.

I'm so sorry you've joined this club. Like you, my tinnitus came out of nowhere and was accompanied by muffled hearing. My hearing returned to mostly normal after a couple of weeks, but the tinnitus remained. Mine has been intermittent from the start—one loud day followed by two quiet or even...

It could very well be due to allergies. Did you have recently any head or neck trauma (whiplash e.g.) or do you work in a noisy work environment (a hidden hearing loss)?

...of subjectivity mixed in w/ the objective facts. Lying down makes it seem louder, but I can't sleep standing up, LOL. Nasal congestion, allergies, etc, increase it too. There is a long list of things that seem to make it worse, and the list of things that help doesn't exist. It's all about...

...exposure. I use a $110 WINIX HEPA purifier from Costco in my bedroom. Consumer Reports says that on a high setting most air purifiers do a good job of filtering pollen. It hasn't actually helped me yet but I'm not sure if my cause is allergies or the vaccine as they both occurred in early March.

check out http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16413139 You're right that it may not apply to the newer antihistamines. However, allergies cause inflammation, which can be a cause of tinnitus...

It doesn't sound quite like that but close, but there hasn't been any clicking in the last 24 hours. Right now it's mostly high pitched hell. I didn't have any allergies until last year. I also have some mild sinus pressure right now.

Hi Kaelon, I don't think there is a sound I HAVEN'T experienced. I know I have air borne allergies, but so does a lot of people and they don't have pt with it. I think its a kink in a blood vessel in my head and am hoping to go see Dr. Eisenman in Baltimore. He has cured people with pt and...

Lucky me and sounds about right seeing that I have had ETD my whole life. Do you think allergies could be playing a roll?

Now I'm scared that any common thing I might take will make this ringing worse. Sometimes I take NyQuil when my allergies are acting up, what's the deal on NyQuil!?

...Would you say air pressure affects your T ,I do ,I find if weathers damp ,it's puts more pressure on my ears ,like fullness.It affects my allergies to .As were in same neck of the woods ,wondered if you noticed it . I sleep in silence ,noise would keep me awake ,but during the day I prefer...

Flonase and Nasonex's purpose is to reduce nasal inflammation which can be a good thing for congestion/allergies. Short-term and on occasion. Oftentimes, such as in my situation ENTs generally prescribe this to use forever to deal with allergies along with antihistamines. A question is the...

Do you have allergies? My ears are popping, crackling and ticking all the time, my allergist said it is because of nasal congestion and sinus inflammation... Something with air pressure.

How do you cope with these hearing issues? I am starting to lose hearing and it is a lot harder to undersand speech in noise. It's a new thing for me.. how do you manage?

May I ask if you have a history of loud noise exposure, such as going to concerts in the past without hearing protection? What about noise induced pain, clogged ears, and the perception of noises sounding overly loud?

I do not recall being on antibiotics. I was on some medication for the allergies, nothing to heavy hitting as antibiotics. I will look into the white noise apps. Thank you.

I was on it for only a week. I don't have any allergies and the Doxycycline did a lot more damage to me besides just the tinnitus. Has anyone ever recovered from a drug induced tinnitus event? Has anyone pursued being damaged by this awful drug?

It sounds like he's treating you for sinus and allergies. I use a spray and antihistamines so I think if you try them you can tell ENT how they are working. Love glynis

Allergies & possible sinus issues comes to mind , when I read your post. I see no connection as well between tinnitus & horseness. It's possible that if you do have allergies, laying in bed and not elevating your head can lead to possible phlegm staying in throat. Possibly an ENT can advise you...

Has anyone had problems with their tinnitus taking these? My tinnitus is through the roof and the last two days I started a high dose for allergies...lots of love glynis

I am currently taking Spirullina (more for allergies than for tinnitus) but I will probably also try some curcumin later. Does anyone know the dosage when I buy turmeric powder? I kind of prefer that instead of pills...

...events. I do attend Sunday School, go to restaurants regularly, weddings and school events. I get headaches, but they mostly coincide with allergies, stress and weather changes. I do get warm ears occasionally. Hyperacusis recently got worse after a parties and a wedding. It's beginning to...

I think if exercise makes your tinnitus worse, it might be a defect in your Krebs cycle, responsible for lactic acid metabolism?

@BuzzyBee, You could try this. It helped me a lot today. Your noise could be related to allergies and/or ETD.

This is really interesting, as after I work out, my tinnitus gets so much better for a couple of hours, and then it returns to normal.

Where are you from?

Ive suspected that my seasonal allergies that causes post nasal drainage, dryness and irritation in the throat to cause a sore throat and possibly irritate Eustachian tubes resulting in increased T.

I've had severe allergies for 6 years or so & my nose is always stuffy so taking Prednisolone might be useful at least for that :dunno: Thank you! Gonna update this thread later.

...and and antihistamine and it's almost all the way gone. What I'm thinking is the sinus infection hurt and inflamed my ears enough for allergies to come in and keep the ears inflamed even with the infection gone. I'm crying tears of joy because I finally realized this won't be permanent. Just...

That is, really weird. Still getting high off eddies?

Have you looked into balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube? It's not for everyone, but if you can't pinpoint any particular allergies and it's not due to teeth clenching or grinding at night or hormonal changes, they can sometimes dilate the tubes with a balloon. I think it's kind of a new...

...to help knock me out. I noticed when I took it it also seemed to make the ringing go away. Later when I went to the doctor, I was told allergies could be a factor in my tinnitus, so it makes sense that an allergy pill would help. Though the doctor recommended nasal spray. But for the kind of...

@TheRinger , Welcome to Tinnitus Talk. Try a nasil spray and antihistamines for allergies as the extra mucous can cause tinnitus. Try stream inhalation also to help clear your tubes. Love glynis

Thank you. My mind is spinning just trying to consider if this is due to my eustachian tube dysfunction, my allergies, my anxiety, my teeth grinding (TMJ issues), the Lexapro, or a combination of them. Wondering which sounds most reasonable. As sensitive as my system is right now, I don't want...

I have bad allergies and T, just try and pop you're ears when you can, because if pressure builds up from sinus problems, it could damage you cochlea and make the T worse

Due to my allergies I am an involuntary Vegan. I have to control my diet carefully as I cannot take vitamin supplements. Could my t be telling me when my iron is low?

Yeah im on prednisone and strong nasal stuff. Hoping it clears up. Waiting to see ENT. I do suffer with blocked nose since birth.

...when they are little and cannot explain their symptoms. @glynis brought up a very plausible scenario. Sometimes food intolerances or allergies can irritate the digestive system. For example, blood in stools is not uncommon for food allergies. My daughter has a food allergy and was...

I got sound distortion from working out. 4 months later I still have it but it’s slowly getting better. It could be ETD, allergies or hydrops. Not sure to be honest. It’s horrible. Take it easy and rest your ears and no exerting pressure on your head. No lifting heavy. This advice has been...

Hi @Freerunner. Try not to dwell on the Valsalva as tinnitus can change and add sounds for no reason. This time of year (autumn), and allergies, can spike tinnitus caused by extra mucus and cold weather, wind in ears. Nasal sprays can help clear your Eustation tubes. And it is always worth...

How do we know it's allergies causing ear burning and not a damaged cochlea? Could an infection inside the cochlea being causing this? You need to find a good doctor to investigate, there's nothing we can do but speculate.

...the ringing, but if I focus on it, sure enough it's there. I took 10 mg claritin (loratadine) the past couple of days and I think it is indeed helpful. Sometimes I do wonder if maybe the tinnitus is entirely caused by allergies and the stress of dealing with the pandemic. Do you have allergies?

...my graduation ceremony but it was 10 days ago before the onset of tinnitus!! 2. I have congested nose since from my school age and lots of allergies and my nasal passages are always blocked. I went to an ENT and he prescribed me nasal spray and antihistamines for allergies. Does anybody...

Apparently I have chronic sinuses, blocked tube from throat and ears and swollen big tonsils. Hoping with all the meds it clears up better. he said something to do with allergies to me.

Then use surgical mask at home. Avoid contact with their food plates and cups.

You are so lucky.Wish we were too

I have allergies. I was getting sinus infections quite often so the doctor told me to use Flonase. I'm use it every morning and it has helped me with no change to my T.

I have the same allergies. Are you taking Claritin too? Did your allergist discuss allergy shots? I’m currently taking Claritin and using Flonase, but may do allergy shots.

I should also probably add I suffer from seasonal allergies (hay fever) each summer and my T began in May as allergy symptoms started. I've been taking nasal spray and antihistamines for it since.

Ive think so. Ive read several times about peoples description of their T and they add "I have (or had) a cold, allergies, etc..." And the sounds they describe are very similar to mine.

I don’t really have any answers but wanted to let you know that I read your story and am so sorry this is happening. We are here for you. Hopefully it’s just a food allergy thing and will go away. Could it also be environmental? Do you have any other allergies?

See an ENT. Unlike tinnitus, ENTs do know how to diagnose and treat ETD.

I have not yet tried it because my allergies are currently behaving, but my ENT advised using a nasal saline spray. Saline sprays are safe enough to use for infants, so I think they're very mild.
