I developed an ear infection in my left ear on 10/10/24 after performing the Valsalva maneuver at the tail end of a nasty cold that lasted weeks and included a severe cough. The infection came on quickly and was extremely painful, but the pain subsided the following day—only to be replaced by...

2 MONTHS ago when I had a cold to the day both my ears suddenly filled up with fluid. soon thereafter, a loud roaring sound ensued and tho the fluid cleared out in a few weeks the ringing in both ears never went away, though it's not as loud as it was, it's been at a constant level since the...

This morning I woke up with my right ear wet from fluid of some kind. This has never happened before in my life that I can recall. When I saw the ENT on Monday, 3 days ago, they said they saw no fluid in either ear. I mentioned to them both ears feel clogged like they have water. Anyone...

I woke up a few weeks ago with a head cold and a ringing in one ear. The head cold happens every so often but the ringing is a first. After a month I am still producing, draining, and still have the ringing. There has been no apparent hearing loss, external sign of infection, or abnormal ear...

I've done a lot of experimentation since my previous post, and I've found that the level of the hum in my right ear, as well as the high-frequency tinnitus in my left ear, both seem to be directly related to how blocked my ears feel, apparently due to blocked Eustachian tubes. Repositioning my...

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...

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...

So these past few nights I have been sleeping, and I turn over on my other side and I can hear this swooshing noise in my ear. I listened and I realised I could hear fluid in my ear. It sounded like water moving around - if any of you have ever tried to soften hard wax, it's like that sound...

Hi all. I've had tinnitus for just over a month, just in my left ear, started out of nowhere. I'm a 42-year-old man with no health complications. I've seen an ENT. He wasn't very interested. I had a hearing test which shows no issues. No earwax, fluid or sinus issues (though I did have a very...

Does anyone with t have this? I know I have been told I have fluid in my ears and one dr told me that my ear drum looked "sucked" in ( ETD) Sometimes my ears ache..but the drs told my ears don't look infected ( I'm still on antibiotics for another 3 days) Also changes in T sound.. I feel...

I got the COVID-19 vaccine and after a few days my ringing in the ears started to get worse. I got worried but I knew I had tinnitus and at the moment there was no cure. After a month of pain and stuffy feeling in the left ear I started looking for solutions. I found Tinnitus Talk and have...

I would think that the salt water/air helping your tinnitus might have to do with ETD or fluid in the ears. Either way, maybe follow that lead to try and make yourself better.

Thank you so much Stephan. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your protocol with me. I have had success with Ayurveda in the past for other issues, it's very healing. I also have primarily vata imbalance, with slight pitta as well. Did you put the Sidha Soma oil in your ears...

Hey @DutchMelvin, I am sorry but I am sure you will be fine! I am leaving you some advice (I am talking also from a personal experience): Eustachian tubes take up to 6 months to work properly after strong sinusitis or otitis media (but right now you have two main goals, clear the fluid and...

Thanks man. This will be good reason for me to convince my wife to go to the beach again this weekend lol. I hope you are doing well. Any update on your end?

Good afternoon, This is a bit long (I apologize in advance 😂😂). Let me introduce myself. My name is Luis Miguel, and I have had high-pitched tinnitus in my right ear since May 19, 2025. I perceive the sound if I focus on it, but I do not hear it as much near a refrigerator or with ambient...

Anything that degrades your hearing normal sounds will allow you to hear your tinnitus more. You may have an ear infection or a cold... and if your ears have fluid the ear drum can’t transfer sound as well... and therefore your tinnitus seems louder... this part is temporary. Fluid behind the...

Not really. Same old story. ENTs are useless and hoping for time to heal. For the most part, the hyperacusis has resolved and I get a little bit of sound sensitivity at high pitches. The feeling of fluid in ears is better but not fully gone. I would imagine that the beach and salt water would...

Those that have fluid in the middle ear, often hear their heartbeat. That's because the blood vessels around the ear will usually pulsate the fluid (which temporarily replaces air) in the middle ear. Don't be concerned about the pulsating, it's not pulsatile tinnitus. Your problem could stem...

@just1morething @KWC Well for sure, muscle imbalances of jaw from inflammation can cause swelling and thus TMJ. Muscle inflammation is actually gum inflammation. What can cause this is clenching, sinus or ETD fluid infection, or bad hygiene. Much of the time, the atlas - top of neck is also off...

It's been 4 months for me too. I have eustachian tube dysfunction. I have good days and bad days. Friday my T was real loud but it went down a couple hours later. I've been using a hot water bottle and I wake up in the morning with fluid in my ears. Hopefully we get better soon!

An old swimmer’s method for removing water from your ears is a few drops of isopropyl alcohol. It drains all the liquid out of your ear immediately. Maybe this would help you?

The two sides are either in the ear canal (ahead of the ear drum), in which case gravity would suffice (just like when you have water in your ear after a shower) sometimes with the assistance of some ear drops, or the middle ear (behind the ear drum), which is why he was given a decongestant...

Yes it is very frustrating. Try PatulEND to kill any bacteria up in there. After Nose Sprays you will need to drain any fluid out of there. Try working the jaws (like airplane / air pressure style) to make sure all the fluids are down. Try an infrared sauna to dry it out more. Salt water in...

Hi Jade, have you tried Betahistine before? It relieve pressure from excess fluid, some people with vertigo or ear fluid problem has their tinnitus reduced or even cured after taking 3 months of continues Betahistine. Here's the link to the study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21860977 Is...

Hi Crystal B - hope you are well. I won't be able to advise much on the migraine and tinnitus correlation, but the excess fluid in ears is up my alley as that is what is the primary cause of my T. Are you only taking nasal sprays? Taking a max power nasal decongestant that contains...

Hi all, I have had T since August 2003, and deal with it pretty well. After I have a cold, flu or whatever - I always have sinusitis for around 3-4 days. When I do, I use medication to help get rid of it. My T does increase in noise during it, but only temporary. Anyway, yesterday morning I...

Every time I go to my regular doctor she says she sees fluid in both ears, I have noticed my ears fill full. I’ve had tinnitus for 6 months, don’t know the cause of it yet may never know, but she says she doesn’t want to give up on me yet. I have really bad seasonal and year round allergies...

I finally gave in and bought one not long ago and I'll go ahead and say I didn't stick with it so I don't know if it does any good. I think my sinuses may be wonky because when I tilt my head it won't drain out opposite nostril. Like other poster said, it does resemble drowning a bit although...

Just as an explanation about the username. My best friend's adopted son started referring to me as Big Daddy - but he was only 4 and it would come out like Deady/Deddie/Diddy and the name just kind of stuck. Didn't take long before the kids at church were calling me Big Deddie too - which was...

I used a neti pot to get rid of my blocked ears and now I am in a bit of pain. My ent said that the water probably is stuck in my Eustachian tubes which are currently blocked due to my previous cold. I am thinking of taking a small dose of prednisone for a week, although my ent said that he does...

marqualler: The reason you need to get the water to come out of your mouth with the neti pot or sinus irrigator is that means it goes past the opening of the eustachian tube on it's way from the back of the nose. Otherwise, if you just get the water to go in one nostril and out the other it...

Thanks a lot for your reply @Sufferer1221. Great news! It seems that you are almost 100% recovered, and congrats for your recovery and progress. How long did it take for all to heal? I agree with all you are saying. I did hearing tests and they came back perfect, but I have been diagnosed with...

Where do I begin? I abused my ears for most of my life and never thought twice about it. Then one day I had a ringing noise in my ears for a minute and then it disappeared, until the day that it didn't. After that I took good care of my ears until I went to a concert 7 years later and forgot...

Since I got it so young, when I don't have flare ups, I'm used to it and don't even notice it. I'm a musician so hearing is a huge part of my life. Most people, even my mom, either don't know I have it or don't remember I've told them since I don't mention it a lot. I've had tinnitus due that...

Hey, 2 months back I started with pressure in both my ears, along with tinnitus the following month, my doctor said I had a fluid build up in both due to probable inflammation in the Eustachian tubes and would take 6-8 weeks approximately to clear up. Whilst I suggest you see your doctor, as...

Hi everyone, I would like to share my experience with tinnitus, as when I googled my issues I came across many people in a similar situation on Tinnitus Talk, which helped me a lot. Hopefully this post can help others on here, and those who come here through Google (like me). Around end of...

When I plug my nose and blow air, causing my ears to fill up, my right ear doesn't quite hold the air pressure in there. Normally both ears hold the pressure until you pop them. But with my right ear kind of inflates then deflates without me popping them. Is this a sign of a blockage, or a...

You should treat your ears as if you had an acoustic trauma, read around here about things you should and shouldn’t do. Get some tips, but basically avoid picking on your wound! Take it easy, and perhaps you’re lucky. Be careful with loud traffic and stuff, don’t use earphones and read a little...

I still think mine is also possibly related to an exposure of noise, but my hearing test came back flawless, which made me doubt that. Just be careful with your ears from now on, and I really think they should be able to do something if it's from water irrigation alone. Maybe there is fluid...

I have a similar experience. Two years ago I developed an ear infection in my left ear. Literally overnight I developed tinnitus in my left ear. It is intermittent, it comes for one or two days and then it disappears for one or two days. But it always comes back in this very annoying cycle. If I...

When our hormones change through Menstruation and the Menopause our tinnitus can be more noticeable. One reason is water retention so in theory thats extra fluid in our ears also. One reason can be due to allergies that relate to hormones . Like for me ,Menstruation time is one of my Asthma...

I would go see an ENT in this case and immediately stop equalizing by doing the vaselva maneuvre - that is the most important thing. If there really is water or fluid behind the ear drum/ in the middle ear it might need to be drained.Besides from that in your posts it seems like you are using...

Hi @Amv, It took in all around 6 months both physically and mentally to get to a point where I couldn't hear it and didn't care when I did. I started on a tapered dose of Prednisolone 48 hours after the incident and have had some CBT which did help provide some perspective on things. I'm not...

The doctor looked into my ear with his little hammer and said there was fluid there, the ear drum was bulging a little and it was a little red in there. So now I hope the T goes down again when the fluid drains. Been chewing gum for hours now. Although all logic this time says it will go...

I have had some kind of general blood test but for my joint problems, no signs of anything wrong. I have dust allergy yes, and previously lived in a water damaged apartment. Presumably was some black mold exposure but I didn't really have a lot of symptoms so maybe not

I had it done and it did nothing but lessen my hearing and gave me 5 days in hell. They burn a hole with a laser, through your eardrum, then the round window of your inner ear. Then, they shoot in the steriod. You have fluid in your ears and are mostly deaf, for about 5 days after the...

I went to the er today and had my ear syringed. I did not apply drops beforehand, but did put a hot compress to my ear several times today in attempt to soften it a little. Before the ear irrigation the doctor put hydrogen peroxide in my ear for about 20 min, then looked and said it was soft...

That sounds like you have fluid in your ear. I have that as clicking in my ears, though I can move my jaw and unless I'm breathing I don't have it; my sound also varies a lot too. But when I go to sleep and I can hear a glugging sound, like there's a river in my ears, and when I went to the...

Really? I thought about getting a incision in my ear where it drains the The fluid and it heals within 2-3 days

Here are some questions. We all here tinnitus is caused by a number of things. What is everyone’s opinion on the best thing we could do to live with this condition? I mean they say asprin, food, medications, stress, can cause tinnitus???? Here I was told by a lady ENT that it was a buildup of...

My name is Taru. I am suffering from T. I'm 26 and female. Six weeks ago I came off the SSRI drug Sertraline. Since then, my health deteriorated. A month ago I got my ears cleaned with water by a doctor who didn't know what he was doing. During that week, my right ear felt cold and wet inside...

Hello all, I just found this forum and thought I would introduce myself and hopefully get some feedback. My name is Kevin, and I'm 32 years old. I unfortunately have been experiencing some Tinnitus in my right ear for about the last week and a half. I was being stupid and shooting pistols with...

Why do people keep doing this? DO NOT GET EARS SYRINGED. It is very dangerous. I developed huge problems because of this and my test was not even to remove wax. I wish I had never done it.

Like a said above I've noticed a somewhat miraculous change as the really bad noise in my right ear of keys jingling and birds chirping went away after going in for my final shot! Now I have pretty much normal tinnitus in both ears except for some slight beeping that literally goes from right...

Just to follow up - I'm really glad that @engineerLA provided us with an update. His complete cure for Eustachian Tube Dysfunction / Otitis Media + Labyrinthitis are a beacon of hope for all of us who feel that we may have a similar pathology. EngineerLA and I corresponded briefly over private...

I wonder if it's possible there's wax that he missed that's deeper down? I've been using ear plugs to sleep in for almost 2 years now, I'm sure that did some damage. I also got tinnitus shortly after a bad cold, and getting water stuck in my ear. I wonder if I have some fluid somewhere that...

Hard to say whether it will go or not after the infection clears,sadly nobody can give a definitive answer on that but what you can do is the following, -Give her NAC -Vit B12 -Magnesium -Don't allow any water in or around her ears -Keep her ears away from loud sounds -Get her to excercise to...

Hello everyone I am sitting here, in front of the computer trying to dwale my tinnitus out! I believe in myself, in that i process the power to overcome this problem that suddenly has occourd in my life.. and i will succeed It all started with a cold, and after awhile i suddenly heard this...

So I met with Dr Shapiro 3 days ago and after listening to my story and examining me he truly felt that this was related to hormones affecting my cerebro-spinal fluid level. The first episode began 2 weeks after I had my progesterone implanted IUD removed and the second episode began in the...
