There are quite a few people who got tinnitus from the COVID-19 vaccine.

I would suggest going to see an ENT because there seems to be a lot going on.

I've had my ears syringed many times. As far as i know, warm water is blasted into the ear, but no suction is used. The wax comes out by the water agatating it. The nurse always warns me the procedure can purferate the eardrum. So syringing can certainly cause tinnitus.

...forum. I'm just 18, so I'm really worried about this. So it started a week ago in one ear, I saw a ENT doctor shortly after and they did syringing, as they found both ears were clogged. I also did a hearing test and tested fine, even with clogged ears. They only gave me oil a minute...

24. I never imagined ear syringing could cause tinnitus. Aah, three years soon with tinnitus and I'm proven wrong. I never listened to music at loud volumes either, at gigs and concerts wore very good ear protection and I haven't been exposed to ototoxic meds, so. Sometimes it's just bad luck.

First onset was by ear syringing and it cause some hearing loss and I also received hyperacusis. Second onset last year did not increase hearing loss, but I did get hyperacusis. The rain therapy related to first H was natural, not by use of headphones. I don't ever use headphones to listen to...

Could just be the wax, around December my ear was really blocked with wax and the tinnitus was way louder. I think i need to use some drops again because it feels like its starting to block up again. You are brave to have ear syringing though, please be careful with that.

...people with tinnitus, it can be quite loud. The ENT I see now used a hand tool to clear earwax out and told me he doesn't like suction or syringing in general, and won't perform it on people with hearing loss, tinnitus or noise tolerance problems. I had a syringing once that was pretty loud...

Thanks mate, I have already been using ear drops for about 2 days now. So I am not advised to syringe it from the doctor?

I can't believe it won't worsen it, I had it done for 3 seconds in my non T ear, and it echoed for a week and reacted to every sound, so obviously I am a bit terrified of worsening my already not so bad T, it's only been 2 months since I got it, so i have maybe a month before I can say it's here...

Ear wax removal by irrigation replaces the old fashioned technique of ear syringing. It is a far safer and more effective method of ear cleaning. It uses an electronic ear irrigation machine to remove ear wax. The machine contains a storage reservoir unit for water and a hand-held nozzle which...

You might be offered microsuction or syringing. You can use those keywords to search this forum, to see that those procedures have the potential to cause permanent tinnitus spikes (louder and more intrusive tinnitus). It is a good idea to insist that manual tools be used.

right ear only, due to impacted ear wax then ear syringing. Then the use of drops (hoping i didn't have a tiny hole in my ear drum which would imply these drops getting into the middle ear) *sigh* Though sometimes i think it coming from inside my head changes all the time.

Syringing caused my tinnitus, however don't take that as definitive it will cause a permanent worsening of your tinnitus. Syringing is carried out in great numbers all over the world every day and very few end up with tinnitus or a worsening of it... From...

...wondering about this myself a while back and did some research. It's also important to say you do see people who got worse tinnitus after syringing for whom it got better over time though. I emailed the author of one of the very few papers on the risks of tinnitus following the various...

I think if I did need this to be done, I’ll do the same as you and say I will decline if syringing is the only method they use. Glad you came out unscathed Emma.

So what is the best method to prevent wax from building up or to get it out? I’m so reluctant to get syringing or microsuction again, yet I tend to get cerumen build up quite quickly. Using ear plugs worsens it as they push it back down the ear canal, eventually leading to an impacted plug.

@LadyDi , huh you have tried a lot of stuff. Good that you have working method for your wax issues(y) I've kinda gotten the idea that normal doctors are useless with ear problems. Some people have even gotten tinnitus from syringing on this forum :eek: @RAY thanks for advice!

I have never used ear phones or listened to loud music... the ringing in my ears started after using cotton buds and ear syringing. So I don't think just loud sounds is the catalyst for it. Mine only started 2 days ago, but I get the feeling from reading about tinnitus, that it isn't just...

Ear wax removal via syringing has a chance of going wrong and damaging hearing - which can result in tinnitus sometimes. http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/arti...resulting-from-cerumen-removal-procedures.pdf Tinnitus is almost always connected to hearing defecits, the root problem is a hearing...

Its. Ot as low as it used to be but its a lot better. How does your sound?

That is some unfortunate irony indeed. You can't blame yourself for not googling everything you are about to do. If you were, you'd probably not get into a car either. Also you'd be spending your life on google, probably googling this meta question first: "is it safe for me to spend my life...

...problem with this but wondering if you've tried warm olive oil in the ear canal? The itch could be excess wax but could also be an infection i.e. fungal. Can you have your doctor check your ears? I'd avoid q-tips as this will push the wax in even further. I would avoid syringing at all costs.

There are some threads, that discuss this very same matter, you are addressing. Some folks, got their tinnitus due to syringing..... Also, don't worry about the future. Do your best to protect your ears. We don't know what is going to happen and dwelling on things, that have not happened...can...

My audiograms are attached at the end. Long story short, I got a quiet room tinnitus (can't hear it outdoors) after syringing done without Debrox . I'm 2.5 months into it now and hyperacusis (no pain) has developed and has been getting a bit worse. High pitched ringing seems to come out of my...

From what I am reading, no one really knows the answer. It may go or it may not, time will tell. I wish I could tell you for sure it will go away since mine is similar to yours but my infection was caused by earwax impaction that resulted in T. Maybe the syringing made it worst too.

@Mark Beehre Sadly my T is due to ear syringing-the first one too. Which sucks! Thankfully I only syringed one ear due to impacted ear wax causing me pain and T. I don't have H...yet. I hope these spasms stop though, will definitely stick to ear drops in the future though for cleaning.

Very informative! Thank you so much for the response. :)

Trauma of some sort, in my case (since it caused tinnitus), certainly I think it was. But I don't think it was excessive noise exposure. That was my point.

But our beloved patient zero Mpt got his from ear syringing i.e acoustic trauma.

Did you soften the wax prior to syringing?

If not micro-suction, how else could the doctor remove impacted earwax? I've seen people here say manual cleaning is dangerous too because there's a chance of slicing open the ear canal or something. Thanks for the reply.

...ear has since gotten much worse due to noise damage from about 15 minutes of a band I saw, despite wearing earplugs! The ringing from the syringing is now overshadowed by the new ringing in the opposite ear, bringing a whole new battle/wait/habituation road ahead if me. Now, just having the...

...or an ear cleaning before. Now all my plans have really changed and are changing.....(sigh) :( I have read of T triggered because of ear syringing, but the thing is. Is it triggering pre-tinnitus that was already there OR what damage can syringing do to the ear drum? What is it that gets...

It was probably irrigation in this day and age. Oddly irrigation is sometimes referred to as syringing, but true syringing was a high risk procedure that has been largely abandoned, at least in the UK. Yes, earwax removal can spike tinnitus. The best thing to do is just stay calm and hopefully...

I had my ears syringed in spring 2010 and right after that, like the moment after he was done syringing my ears I could hear the high-pitched ringing. And the second tinnitus noise, the sort of a clicking noise, I noticed some days later. It's baffled me ever since, because syringing in itself...

...speakers for three-five seconds and your ear begins to tickle with a burn. Am I just going to live in isolation and wear protection everywhere I go for the rest of my fucking life? :( Fuck, I can't believe how one syringing did me in so fucking bad. Hopefully this is just a small setback.

Did you do an audiogram after the ear syringing.

I'm also going through the same thing, however mine was a bit better after ear syringing, it stays on a very low sound compared to a clogged one, and also easy to masked frequency. Try getting sleep with masking sounds, itll definitely make you feel better in after getting much sleep. You can do...

For those with tinnitus from syringing ears did yours got better eventually? I do not mean disappear, I would settle for it getting a bit better, because I can hear it all day... I'm getting crazy during this weekend, sitting without nothing to do, and I don't enjoy the things I used to do...

Additionally, every audiologist I ever saw recommended this procedure to me when I told them I had tinnitus as they said syringing would make it worse. The only one who has questioned it was the one who I am currently seeing.

...for infection/wax impaction . treat infection accordingly with least ototoxic antibiotic if required eg; amoxicillin . wax removal; avoid syringing. maybe some warm castor oil in your ear. . extended audiogram . tympanogram to assess for middle ear effusion My guess you have t from...

Well when you see that the creator of this forum himself got T from syringing it is quite scary.

Get Audiclean and a syringe and do it gently . When syringing make sure you point the bulb up a little so you are not blasting your ear drum. Also, make sure you use lukewarm water to prevent getting dizzyness. Olive oil, sodium bicarbonate or Audiclean is all good safe ways of softening...

It's a marketing video, they wouldn't claim anything else... Do any medical pros use this? No... so pls be cautious! ALSO: you should upgrade your operating system. Windows XP is old and no longer supported by Microsoft... Your taskbar looks like Windows XP.

...who does it. Once wax is removed and hearing improved, your tinnitus should reduce. Microsuction is very loud, so could make things worse. Syringing seems to be the cause of some people's tinnitus. I would pay privately for instrument removal using jobson horne. Lots of youtube videos showing...

...also what you say is misleading. When members tell you that you are talking “shite” they aren’t wrong. @Mila9828 He is talking about syringing that is rarely used these days because of the ‘dangers’ - that don’t happen often but do occur. However it sounds like you had ear irrigation that...

...on and off all the time, once you get to the ENT and have the wax removed, you should be fine. Right now it's blocking out sound of course. So just try and stay calm. Just make sure that they remove it manually only,,, NO SUCTION, or syringing. Good luck at the ENT office, Louie...

...cautious, and not enough is known about the real dangers of doing so, even though the odds are small. You could have opted for just the syringing only, even if it didn't remove all the earwax. I have no idea what the obsession is with wax removal. At the age of 45 I had my ears...

Enjoy the silence. You are so lucky!!

...I'm just wondering if you are having a residual effect from the Paxil. Maybe if it doesn't change after you have the ear syringing procedure, you could consider seeing an audiologist or ENT.

I've had tinnitus from syringing for eight years. I received a fair amount of hearing loss in left ear and some in right ear and never did I have silence in either ear. I now have added somatic tinnitus from whiplash (14 months) without much added hearing loss, but there are times when one ear...

They are strange but I agree that they can happen. I got the same floaters you described after getting mild to moderate tinnitus. Ear syringing is dangerous and 100db on an eardrum with increased ear pressure would be like 140db. I don't know really what to say. Tinnitus is an awful condition...

Damn, that's frigging horrible luck. Thank you for your service. I worked 12 hour shifts at Parkland Hospital in Dallas on the rehab floor and that was hard enough on me. Jeezus. Love you man. Hope you feel better.

...in my own ears. When it starts to build up but before it gets too bad I get it removed by private audiologist who uses Jobson horne under microscope. No syringing, no microsuction, no noise. Perfect. But only possible when wax is not impacted. Hence, I monitor wax build up with video otoscope.

Yes I will wait till then instead and just keep on loosening the wax with olive drops in the meantime.
