Hang in there. You are still in the early stages. Usually 5 months will determine if it's long-lasting or not, and trust me you are still in the early processes of healing as the ear takes a long time to heal. My advise would go as follow because this is an acoustic trauma suffered from an mri...

I’m at five months, and my right ear has worsened again.

Dear all, after taking a shower, I have water left in my ear which won't come out. Since my hearing is not muffled and I am not feeling any pressure, it can't be that much water left. It is just a "fresh feeling" inside the ear when air comes into it. This has now lasted for 2 days. It tried...

Hello everyone! I have had tinnitus since 2008, I'm 25 now. I learned to live with tinnitus but 2 months ago I felt my left ear clogged so I tried to flush it with a small water pump (not cold water, it was warm). Few days after my tinnitus got much louder, or much more noticeable, it's like...

Hey all, My first post here. I was hoping I never would be joining the club, yet here we are. On November 22nd of last year, I went to a very loud metal show. I knew it was loud, or at least sounded much louder than other shows I’ve gone to, but I was lulled into a false sense of security...

Hi everyone, I really need some help. Thank you in advance if you read this :) I have had tinnitus since 2017. I don't really know how it started - there was a combination of factors - I hurt my neck/back, I put olive oil into my ears on advice of doctors to get rid of wax and it seemed to...

I went to the movies a week ago, and the day after, I heard an annoying whine I thought was the fridge playing up. I went to bed and woke up with incredibly sore ears that were still ringing. I couldn't even flush them out in the shower properly because they were so filled with earwax that I...

Yea sometimes swimming can be hard on the ears. Especially if you dive in and force water into the ear quickly. However, the 1st 9 months while your embryo was becoming you, your ears were totally filled up with water and fluids!! Just have to be careful about PRESSURE!! It's not the water...

I rinse my ear canals every other day with soft, clean warm water using a small flexible plastic cup. ear wax isn't actually wax it's water soluble so warm water will dissolve it and warm water evaporates quickly unlike oil which can remain inside and collect dirt and dust. Make sure to shake...

Yes you're right, the dryers are very loud! Usually, I have had no trouble with flush noises. This flush though was a different kettle of fish, an almost explosion-like momentary suction sound. Enough to hurt both ears and make them worse. Still not better, but I'm going to give it two weeks...

Tinnitus is best diagnosed in conjunction with events. Tinnitus cannot be diagnosed directly, and so the events leading up to the tinnitus presenting itself, are the best clues to the cause.

The reason I have said I believe the water flush probably brought your tinnitus to the forefront of your mind, is that I have bean told very similar experiences to your own. It is quite surprising how common this is and how good the brain is at dismissing or pushing tinnitus into the background...

Nicotinic acid aka Niacin is simple B3. As soon as it mentions anything other (like non-flushing or extended release, etc.) it is no longer simple niacin. In terms of potency, all B3 is basically created equally. @Aaron91 might get a flush at 75 mg where I get it at 200 mg and you require...

Is there any safe way to get your ears cleaned?

I'm sorry your ears were syringed with water. Mine is caused by that too, only it was me trying to flush it out myself. Now I have really bad hyperacusis and tinnitus. I can't believe doctors still do it without at least warning people of the possible dangers. The ENT I went to a little while...

Sorry you've been dealing with that. Ive got prettt bat tinnitus/hyperacusis, and it's a real bummer. Since yours started so recently hopefully it will only be temperary. Whatever you do, don't let a doctor/nurse syringue your ears (flush them with water) because although many doctors don't...

Welcome to the forum. It may not be easy to find someone currently active in the forum to have the same experience as you, getting your T from flushing the ears. However, you can do a search like 'flushing the ears' and you will see many prior posts on people with similar experience. You then...

He was very right to tell you to avoid water contact. Lots of people (including me) get tinnitus/hyperacusis or make it worse by trying themselves, or having a doctor, flush their ears with water, aka syringing. Some doctors/nurses still do this, so whatever you do I warn you to never let a...

This happens to me as well. We have a giant space heater in our office and I can hear this distinct ringing sound when it’s on, but when I plug my ears it disappears, and if I sit in a different position I can make it disappear as well. I know it’s my ears because some days this sound is more...

Trust me bro. I talked with 5 ents in a month - that how psyched up I was something was very wrong. I was so anxious. All of them said to me inner ear infections are VERY hard to get. Its like winning reverse lottery actually. They said I would have extreme vertigo, I would vomit and generally I...

I got a forceful flush out on a left ear cerumen impaction (ear wax blockage) and left me with a very painful drum. The dumb nurse did not use any wax softening and she rushed through the procedure with what it felt like she used a water hose at full blast. Bottom line: PCDs and their nurses...

I was using miracle grow, very few growers are this ignorant, you can't flush the plants where you spend two weeks feeding them nothing but water to rid them of the chemicals because the soil itself has time released "balls or beads" that always release with water. I was smoking 8 times a day of...

Hi guys, new here, thanks for the add. Did anyone get their tinnitus after an ear flush/irrigation, COVID-19/ear fluid/ear infection, or antibiotic? My story is, about 2-1/2 months ago, I was on vacation in Florida for a week. I picked up what seemed like a cold on Wednesday. By the time I was...

No, it was more than a sensation because whatever it was, I could feel it inside of my ear and it's still in there but not as large now. The mineral oil seems to be dissolving it and the ringing is still lower but it's not all gone. The other ear also had something dislodge from it yesterday...

Congrats on the T going down! Could have definately been the loud car speaker that caused it. Loud volume levels is a super common cause of tinnitus. In order to hopefully prevent more T be sure to not listen to the speakers as loudly or expose yourself to other unsafe noise levels without...

I got T from sudden hearing loss. I've had bad sinusitis and tried netipot to alleviate it and to see if it would address my allergies somewhat. It Immediately spiked my T. I hope it's temporary. I guess my left nostril was clogged because the water mainly ran down that same nostril. I read...

@guys pls help You have two options. Either to carry on as you are and do nothing or get the earwax removed using one of the three methods discussed in this thread. I advise you to choose the latter as a build up of earwax will eventually cause you problems also discussed in my posts. I advise...

Yup, nasal irigation with a syringe is the only thing that works for my cracking eustachian tubes. But no, I'm not going to do it anymore. Overuse of nasal spray has bad effects too. I've read in the PET forums that overuse of nasal spray has bad effects on the tubes. Plus I have used all the...

Yeah, I've been working in a lab where I have to glove up and have been wearing earplugs most of the week. I just wonder where the debris came from. Seems to large to be dust. It looks slightly translucent to me, do you agree? It actually looks like it folds over itself at one point. I...

I joined this site about 3 months ago, when my tinnitus had started to become constant and worse in volume. My career was 30+ years as a recording engineer, so my hearing has always been of utmost importance, and extraordinarily good (and well-trained). Of course, my job entailed working with...

I think it is safe to rule out noise induced tinnitus as a potential cause. The only thing I can think of is the infections you had when you were younger may have done some damage that it now showing up. Do you still get infections? Did you get tubes put in your ears? As long as your tinnitus...

Hello all, I have become very passionate about this condition. Partly because most health professionals do not know how to treat hyperacusis, especially noxacusis. There is no model for it. No specific medication to it. If the numbers are correct, only 6,000 people in the United States have...

Reading other peoples accounts and from my own experience H is often triggered by very specific sound types / frequencies.:whistle: I guess this may have some correlation to which part of our hearing system has become sensitive. In truth we will never know. I can stand many sounds ( although...

Hi, I've had tinnitus since March 2019, not been able to be seen by ENT due to lockdown. It mostly was a hissing/static nose with a slight ring. Suspect could be due to the ear infection I had prior/ETD/TMJ. In the past two months I also notice i tend to 'hear' a whistling noise from certain...

I remain really skeptical of the belief tinnitustalk members have that Valsalva-like activities can cause tinnitus. I know a lot of people in real life who have allergies just as severe as mine, who blow their noses against resistance from inflammation and snot, forcing air and liquids into...

Hi! This is my first post in a Tinnitus related forum, this thread caught my attention for various reasons, and I also need to WARN people. To understand why, here my story how I even GOT the tinnitus I have now. I suffered from a sinus problem about 2 (or 3?) years back so I scoured the...

Yeh I agree I definitely don't think I originally got tinnitus from loud noise exposure, it started completely out of the blue. To be honest I think I stopped getting frequent ear infections around the time the tinnitus first started, since I was 12 I've probably had maybe 4 or 5 ear infections...

Tempest, I'm very sorry for your loss. I've never had my ears trained like you have, but I also really miss and long for the ability to be able to experience silence. I know you mentioned some research on hearing loss, and I just saw this article about some potentially hopeful research about...

You couldn't have known. We make mistakes and like someone said "if you would go and do it again, that would be stupid". So don't beat yourself up for it. One good thing is I have warned all of my friends, and they now wear earplugs at clubs, i'm proud of that! haha Wow, i didn't know flushing...

@MattH- - I never had allergies in my life, either. But I have had sinus congestion for the past few years, and it's been largely inexplicable. This includes runny nose, post-nasal drip, watery eyes. Really, the tell-tale signs of allergic responses -- so it's possible I've actually had...

I'll try to make this short as possible. Suffered MILD Tinnitus since 2005. Nothing loud, just mild hissing now n then.\ Early 2011 started feeling a little crappy, every day a little more crappy. Some days too busy and ignored it. Crappy more the following week. Doctor...

I didn’t use ear plugs at the concert. Stupid stupid me. Using water to flush out ear wax is a risky procedure imo for T sufferers. I know I have read a few people here who has gotten T worsen after the procedure. I have done this procedure twice in my life and the first time i was fine after...

Hey, I first got tinnitus a few years ago, and it was right after flushing my ears with water. I didn't make the connection that it may have been caused by that though because I've gone to a lot of loud concerts and figured that they were the cause. It was not that loud, low frequency, and I...

Hi, just wondering if you guys know of any earplugs that let you have a conversation without the occlusion effect (if that's possible), as I have mild hyperacusis. I've had it for, around two months and I believe I'm seeing progress. I used to not be able to tolerate running water from a tap...

Alan, Sorry you're having to deal with this. It's crazy when simply being able to enjoy silence becomes impossible. I do something similar for sleep to you, and just sleep near my dehumidifier. Takes me a while to get to sleep so I compensate for that by setting aside a lot more time for sleep...

Hi all, I am "happy" to embrace your group. I always played electric guitar and maybe that helped. The day tinninus appear was one night i heard almost the entire night to music on phones at "high" volume. Next day the tinnitus was there. I started having tinnitus late 2007. I could hear the...

Geez, I hope it improves. I don't know anything about those treatments, but since it hasn't been too long, hopefully it will subside Now that you're not taking it. I've been having a hard time sleeping ever since my T got way louder a few months ago, so this is what has been helping me. First...

Oh good Karen! It is nice when just a little bit of relief in the T blesses us. What is this ion detox treatment entail? Today I went to a late breakfast with family at an outside bistro. I didn't notice the T. Then after that went to the theater to see Men in Black 3 and didn't notice it...

I did the caloric test (water irrigation) to test balance. I developed so many problems with my ears. H on both ears, T on both ears, ear popping sound on right ear (they said ETD, how can you get ETD from that?), ear whooshing sound, and sometimes pain in both ears that comes and goes, mind you...

Hi @Leeroy. This is good, keep taking these, especially the NAC (as this is your best friend right now). I'd stick to a dose of 1200mg until the end of the month with that and then taper down. The rest just do what it says on the bottle/pamphlet etc. I've never tried a Keto diet before, but I...

Are you now able to go to bars or venues that play music (live or background), with earplugs of course - or is this something you still have to avoid?

To keep this short, I've bolded the important bits. My tinnitus came on just a few days ago, I'm 19 years of age. It happened after I used ear drops for wax ( brand name Major, it's got a yellow label with green lettering ). My experience can't speak for all but in the future, these may want...

You basically described my exact kinda H,it's insane,a truck driving far away from me vibrates my head,I can hear it as well as feel it and then comes the pain along with it.Also my startle response is just uncontrollable,my mother coughing or a sudden laugh near me is like having my entire head...

I just want to say thank you for your site. I'm primarily posting this to in the hope that it may warn someone who's about to take an ototoxic anti-biotic, or has already taken some and has started to notice some tinnitus. I had an eye infection and unfortunately I was too busy with work to...

Hey everyone. I was asked by a few members on this forum to write a detailed, structured success story (if you can call it that) to show how it is absolutely possible to get out of the worst hell imaginable and have a life again. I'm going to break it down into different months, as accurately as...

Hello everyone. I am a male, now aged 53 in decent physical shape. However, 4 years back I had to have emergency surgery on my left kidney (the only one I have). On the second day from recovery, I awoke to almost total deafness. I thought for sure my ears were just full of wax and ran out...

Stay away from molds. These can be very toxic. What kind of mold was it? Was it black?

I REALLY have no idea what happened to my ears. I'm a quiet person and don't listen to loud music but I'm now suffering with high pitched T in both ears. Let me provide a timeline and can anyone tell me what I possibly did because then maybe it can be reversed. Oct 2016: -New upstairs...

I'm really sorry for the wall of text... I suck at trimming things down. I honestly don't even know if it's a good idea I post here considering how mentally messed up I am, I'm just lost and don't know really what to do anymore... I don't know where to start, the last two weeks have been hell...

Thanks for the response!
