    Have People Had Success with Stopping Tinnitus After Removing Their Ear Wax?

    There is a risk in everything @grotulon. You and I do not know the specifics that relate to the person in question that got tinnitus from syringing. It is similar to what you were saying the other day in this forum: That syringing and microsuction is dangerous and caused you problems without...

    Questions About Earwax

    I opted for micosuction and paid £60 for it myself rather than get the practice nurse to do syringing. Both can cause tinnitus but I felt microsuction was less likely to cause tinnitus. It didn't worsen it thank god. The thing about syringing is that it can move the eardrum which I'm convinced...

    Well I didnt do ear syrnging for ear wax removal but I did the caloric test which is similiar. Water is irrigated into the eardrum comes back out and viola. I think anything that involves getting water irrigated in your ear is syringing. I paid a hefty price for it. I wish I could turn back time :(

    My Teenager Daughter Got Tinnitus After Neomycin Otic Ear Drops

    Sorry for your daughter.

Or if the softening solution is so good...
