...it's currently spring here... we had a lot of windy days and fires and smoke in September and I noticed my hay fever flared up (I have some allergies) then I caught two colds one after the other... I noticed a hissing sound in my ears after the first cold but only in a very quiet room and...

...the exposure was no more than 65-75 dB via the Calm app (I was using it to help me sleep). I have frequent insomnia, anxiety, and terrible allergies. When it came back and hung around, I happened to also be experiencing what felt like Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, where the ringing ear would...

...for almost 5 years. I am not exactly sure how it was caused but it happened right after a Boy Scout camp. I believe it was caused by severe allergies but not 100%. I have been visiting this site ever since but haven't bothered to make an account because at first, I couldn't accept that I had...

I have no idea the exact date it started. I have noted that it is definitely affected by anything with chocolate in it also caffeine makes it scream. I do avoid all sugar, I use sweeteners instead (liquid splenda) which so far has no effect on the volume.. I am learning as I go as to what foods...

Does anyone experience this? I was not exposed to any loud noises prior to my ear ringing. No meds. I was sneezing a few days before and had some head congestion. Also, if this was an viral infection...does anyone know how long it typically can last after the virus leaves?

I definitely think you are right and your doctor is wrong. I have experienced clear increases in tinnitus in response to certain foods, as well as coffee and tea. I developed pulsatile tinnitus when exposed to salicylates in an antifungal cream — and scientists use salicylates in laboratory...

That's what I'm wondering. I tried nasal strips, but they didn't work. I'm definitely snoring from the nostrils. It could be because of sinus allergies.

If I laugh pretty hard occasionally my right ear will make a weird noise or something. AND IT SCARES me everytime. I think allergies.

Zyrtec and the likes = zero negative effects. I used Cetirizine myself for probably 25 years for allergies. It's not ototoxic in any way.

...types. -> I worked on keeping my stress levels low. Overall, what helped me the most was probably the allergy medication. I feel like my tinnitus flares up whenever my allergies flare up. Managing my anxiety also made a big difference. Have a great day, and I hope this helps some of you.

I'm not sure that I have found any yet, but it is certainly making me consider my diet's effect on this a little more, and consider whether my focus on self-care should be on modifying my daily spikes rather than my very significant baseline. Check out the below thread for more information...

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!!, Yesterday I woke up with a very bad cold, congestion and pressure in my ears... I feel awful. Because of the ear pressure I have a very bad spike and my ears are clogged. two days ago I took motrin, then yesterday I took benadryl, should I take another...

...infection early March which I ended up losing the antibiotics for so I couldn’t finish the last days. I also am known to have seasonal allergies, I live in Los Angeles part time and Boston part time but am in LA due to quarantine. When I first got here I noticed much more nasal congestion and...

...and won in the early 2010's . Cisplatin was one of the chemo agents (ototoxic, absolutely). July 2019 had a big bout of a combination of allergies and possibly mold build up from old furniture. I went to doctor and said I had some chest wheezing. Then August 2019 went to a metal...

...hearing was normal. My ears still had some pressure in it (my ENT and GP could see this too). Anyway my ENT thought maybe it's because of allergies so he gave me a nose spray, it helped a bit with my ears. Like they weren't that blocked anymore. But with my tinnitus it didn't change. So he...

...appointment, and I am far from an expert on these matters, as I am relatively new to all of this myself. My best guess is that it is some combination of allergies, TTTS, and/or Eustachian tube issues. The fluid sensation seems to be a rare symptom, as I have not found many people talking...

Anyone’s T worse in the morning? I have allergies, wondering if it’s an escuchian tube thing OR AM anxiety?

Eyes and head feel heavy with pressure (allergies) of coarse I can't take shit to alleviate the pain. Fuck

I have allergies, and when they flare up, my tinnitus also flares up. Coming from the desert in the American Southwest to the Deep South, where I'm originally from, has been an adjustment too. High humidity is a problem with tinnitus. I'm acclimated to the humidity after 1 1/2 years, but there...

Update: The doctor said it is a very rare side effect, but I began experiencing a heavy, depressive “downer” mood that would last for a good part of the day whenever I used Flonase in the evening for several days in a row. So be aware of that possible side effect. I have seen other posts on...

...it is still worse than it was after the first time. My hearing has never improved since this happened in May. @t_scot randal, I do have allergies, but they’ve never affected my ears. I take Allegra daily just to keep my sinuses feeling decent. Before my accident in December, I had excellent...

No, there's no mold or dust here. My hearing is fine, perfect audiograms. ENT told me I had no hearing loss or any problems such as sinusitis, eustachian tube dysfunction, allergies, tonsillitis, etc.

I can never tell if my ear discomfort is actually my t reacting to my day or if it's my allergies. Bets are on allergies as it's one ear

Another great example. Profound indeed. George

I see you have allergies listed as a cause, and with allergies in the air in the northern Mountain West, I have to wonder if the sinus pressure contributes to the low humming sound.

So lately I’ve been having severe allergies and the only thing that’s helped is Sudafed. But now my left ear has started ringing. I suspect it’s due to allergies. Hopefully it calms eventually. I’m not used to the weird single pure tone. :(

...had still not gotten better. During that time, I also developed chronic congestion and Eustachian tube dysfunction, possibly related to allergies. My mom passed away shortly after. Fast forward to now. In August, I noticed some better days where my tinnitus seemed to lessen in intensity. It...

...tinnitus can occur when abnormal pressure develops in your inner or middle ear. This can be a direct result of congestion caused by allergies. Allergies cause tinnitus usually by fluid in the ear from blockage of the Eustachian tubes. Congestion and inflammation can develop in your ears if...

They are Norwegian brands, so I don't think you will get them at your place. But the antihistamine is a regular one for allergies called Cetirizine.

Hi Michelle, Sorry to see your post, tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus truly can be terrifying. Allergies certainly can cause both types. The good news is that if it’s caused by allergies, then treating the underlying cause should ease all your symptoms in time. 6 weeks is a very short timeframe...

The mind is indeed a very powerful thing. Standing in dirt barefoot... not so much...

...that day my ears make a "pop" sound every single time I swallow and I hear a constant ringing. I've been to an ENT who was positive it was allergies (mucus irritating my ears) so I went to an allergy specialist who told me that I'm allergic to cats. (I've never had a cat and I live in a brand...

Hi @GeorgeLG -- I don't doubt for a moment. My wife is a counselor who has worked with people with multiple personality disorders. I ran across an account once of someone with MPD who had severe allergies when in one personality, and no allergies when in another. Profound implications!

...me much. But 2-3 months ago my mother was diagnosed with Ménière's disease. Now I'm completely unsure if my recent "flare up" is due to allergies, and eustachian tube dysfunction. Or if I just had habituated myself to not pay attention and then when my mother brought her symptoms to my...

Does allergies make tinnitus worse?

...felt an urge to pop my ears repeatedly, and this happened several times throughout the day. At first, I thought it might be due to spring allergies, but nine months later, it’s still occurring. It can happen while driving, lying down, or walking. I’ve never experienced this before in my life...

...which can cause tinnitus. Have you considered getting that treated? Also, a 'high riding jugular bulb' can cause tinnitus. A friend of mine had tinnitus as a child and had the exact same thing, and it was solved through intense surgery. Now, she only deals with it when her allergies act up.

Developed a single pure tone in left ear. Might be due to allergies tho.

...was a temperature drop from 75 to 65 degrees around the same time, and my girlfriend, who lives with me, has been struggling with severe allergies Thank you to anyone who can help me understand what might be happening. I am trying to take it one moment at a time and appreciate the moments...

I'm not sure if it's allergies or a cold...? I'm thinking allergies? Would Sudafed work??
