    A Positive Thread: What Calms Your Tinnitus?

    @NiNyu It's kind of complicated. If I get a head cold which can block the Eustachian tube, it seems to cause mucus to build up in the middle ear due to the vacuum that is generated in the middle ear and it makes tinnitus worse. After taking Nasonex to unblock the tube, the T still exists but is...

    Going on Four Months Now

    Hi Cindy: You may want to see if there's mucus within the middle ear as well which causes tinnitus. Sometimes a vibrating tool like the one advertised on www.eardoc.info can be used to generate vibration and move the mucus away from the eardrum. It's advertised as a tool to clear Eustachian...

    A Positive Thread: What Calms Your Tinnitus?

    I was a scuba diver years ago and I think that the barotrauma that effected my middle ear back then may be responsible for it. Back then, since I couldn't equalize well in the right ear, there was some build-up of blood in the middle ear that was flushed out in the Eustachian tube using...

    Tinnitus with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

    I was a scuba diver in the past and had some barotrauma a couple times in the middle ear. This was treated at the time. Sometimes, the re-occurring tinnitus is accompanied by a fullness in the Eustachian tube which never seems to be able to relieved. Specialists like ENTs only recommend...
