    Clogged Ears Followed by Louder Tinnitus — Any Experiences?

    @Arianaj, It definitely sounds like a nasal problem and could be down to allergies. When you go to bed you can get post nasal drip going down the back of your throat that enters your eustachian tubes. You might get a snotty taste in your mouth as a symptom. The nasal spray will help. Love...

    MaryB123, I would see your doctor regarding sleep also do you have allergies like pollen as that can spike tinnitus also. Another could be if you grind your teeth and cause pressure on your jaw joint. love glynis

    I'm New to Tinnitus and Very Scared. I Have Some Questions. Please Help.

    It could be anxiety, but maybe it's allergies. Have you tried nosespray? Your doctor can prescribe you steroid nosespray, it might help for you. I understand how you feel, please don't kill yourself. Things will get better.

    Tinnitus Sounds Off After Trip to City — And I Was Wearing Double Protection

    If you don’t work in a noisey work environment that would cause you spikes, than you shouldn’t be wearing hearing protection there. It might have to do with allergies. I have talked many times while wearing hearing protection and have not had issues as long as you weren’t screaming.

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