    Tinnitus Post Ear Infection Getting Worse with Near Constant Otitis Media with Effusion (OME)

    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...

    Woke Up with Ear Fluid in Right Ear — ENT: No Detectable ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction)

    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...

    Fluid in Ears with No Hearing Loss — Could This Be Causing My Tinnitus?

    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...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    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...

    A Series of Unfortunate Events — Ear Fluid/Flying/COVID-19/Ear Irrigation → Tinnitus

    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...

    Tinnitus for a Month After Flushing Ear with Water

    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...

    Will Fluid in the Ear Go Away by Itself?

    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...

    Idiopathic Tinnitus — Why Can't I Pop My Ears? ETD?

    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...

    Problems with Nasal Spray Flonase

    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...

    Tinnitus from Middle Ear Infection: What Should I Ask the ENT?

    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...

    Sudden Unilateral Tinnitus Onset After Suspected Otitis-Related Inflammation

    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...

    Tinnitus from a Bike Tire Explosion

    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...

    Problems with Nasal Spray Flonase

    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...

    What Could Have Caused My Non-Stop Loud Ringing in the Ears?

    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...

    2 Year Tinnitus Anniversary Today — Habituated

    @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...

    4 Months On

    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!

    Water in the Middle Ear After Neti Pot; Louder Tinnitus

    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?

    Recent Tinnitus Increase, Feeling Really Hopeless

    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...

    Tinnitus from Fluid Being Trapped in Eustachian Tube?

    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...

    Neti Pot / Nasal Irrigation for ETD (Eustachian Tube Dysfunction) & Rhinitis — Post Your Experience

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...

    Extremely High-Frequency Tinnitus

    I used a neti pot to get rid of my blocked ears and now I am in a bit of pain.

I am thinking of taking a small dose of prednisone for a week, although my ent said that he does...

    Here Is How I Solved My Tinnitus — New Protocols and Supplements To Try

    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...

    Tinnitus Since Age 15 (I'm Now 31) from Sinus Infection with Flare Ups Every Now and Then

    Eardrum Can't Hold Air Pressure

    Don't Ever Lose Hope!

    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...
