Almost 3 years old. Very changeable at the moment. 2 base high pitch tones in left, 1 in right which I hear all the time. Then probably 2 or 3 much lower constantly changing tones which come and go but usually aren't loud enough to hear through the day. I think it is all caused by ETD caused by...

I've tried them for a week or so. It does seem to help with reactivity. Especially helps when watching tv. Usually after a while my tinnitus gets loud but that doesn't seem to happen with these in. They don't seem to reduce incoming sound but makes it er softer I guess, hard to explain. These...

Yup.. very similar symptoms. Not sure its exactly TTTS but whatever you call it I have similar symptoms other than the Jaw pain and vertigo which is described online. Ear fullness, fluttering (Especially when close to liquid for some reason), Eustachian tubes seem to work most of the time but...

@Juan no they haven't.. to be honest they havent done much of anything apart from those tests. Going to push for another ENT appointment. Sorry late reply. Been doing really well with nose congestion and then suddenly woke up with sensation of wax coming out of my ear and then big spike this...

Sorry I didnt get a notification of any posts on this thread. @PugDog1 yes I got a humidifier and it certainly does work for reducing the congestion at night. Managed to wake up a few times totally clear in the morning. I stopped using sterimar as it was getting into my ET and causing T spikes...

Sorry forgot to respond to this. I have it on and off which most of the time seems tied to periods of nose / sinus congestion but confusingly not always. I'm not sure whether the congestion causes sensitivity to sound due to pressure problems and the other times are when I've just been in loud...

Hi there! I also have ETD but dont think I have TMJ quite yet though I think that might be on the way. I also have unilateral tinnitus but in my left ear. I also have what you are describing. I call this 'reactive tinnitus' but many people describe reactive tinnitus as their tinnitus rising to...

Good Morning Everyone Yet another bump in the world of tinnitus. Stuck in a major rut and need some help. I now feel like I have enough information to present the symptoms correctly. I've had tinnitus for 2 and a half years. Had ENT tests (hearing test, Tympanometry and MRI) which were all...

This might be different for yourself as my T is apparently caused by ETD issues (though not certainly) but I just want to give you an idea of what it would be like. I have mild H and since onset have had TTTS also. Neither bother me as much as the T which is in both but overwhelmingly in my left...

Hmm glad I found this post. It seems I have very similar symptoms to you. I've had T since October 2017 (I'm not sure whether I had since childhood) which was investigated and the consensus of 2 ENTs is ETD. Much higher in the left but was in my right though that's reduced so I'm not sure if...

Hi all short update. It's been almost 2 months since the new T appeared and it has gone back to normal on that ear. It had a slow decline back to baseline and I especially noticed a change after the first month or so. It is still the most temperamental of the two as it gets a lot of temproarary...

Thanks for the comments guys. Saw the GP and got the usual, nothing we can do message. No trauma visable to the eardrum so at least that is a plus. The reactive tinnitus has gotten better in the past couple of days so things are improving. The overall level is still very high so looks like I...

Hello fellow sufferers, I have had tinnitus for 2 years and 5 months in both ears but mainly in my left, caused by...? It is constant and loud but does get masked by the shower for example, unless it is in a bad mood which means nothing can mask it. The first few months were tough but I...

Well a spike in my T has reminded me about this post so going to give a bit of an update. Things are basically the same as they were around a year ago. I have now had tinnitus since Oct 2017 due to a completely unknown reason (the docs have discounted ETD). High pitched like an old CRT tv in...

Sorry for the late reply been busy over the last few days. But yeah I understand it can be hard to concentrate and listen to things especially on TV. It doesn't exactly mask the words but it prevents you from actually listening to what they are saying. For me this has reduced drastically since...

@daiso My T is defiantly the same as when it spread to both ears. I make efforts to keep myself busy but you can't be busy all the time. Sitting watching TV I hear it loud and clear but, while it was very distracting in the beginning, I generally don't listen to it anymore so it effect my brain...

Hi all. A spike has reminded me of this forum so I thought I might as well check in. I am 6 months in and doing good. The beginning was hard but I feel like I've been coping well over the past couple of months. I stopped using nasal spray after around 4 months as it didn't seem to help...

Hi there Sorry I didn't see your message. I'm afraid it hasn't went away and I have a cold at the minute so it's even worse. Ah well, the sound doesn't bother me as much now I've gotten more accustomed to it (3 months in). As suspected my doc has refered me to an ENT on the 4th Jan so might...

Hi Aaron. Very sorry to hear you have had a setback but i'm sure you know it sounds like just that, a temporary setback. Your posts have been brilliant over the past month or so, very informative and re-assuring. As you say i'm going to keep at the spray and deal with it. My next appointment...

Hello all Thanks for the replies guys much appreciated. Its been a month and a half and its still their, not as bad as it was but it is still very variable and it is very much in both ears now. During my last appointment my doc gave me steroid nose spray to take for three weeks. Next...

Hi Guys just a quick update. A definite improvement after almost a week on the Amoxicillin, it has reduced to a level where i can forget about it when i'm at work or busy with something. Still loud as hell at night but sleeping rough is better than no sleep at all. It is definitely very...

I got a little confused there, probably due to tiredness. I completely forgot to ask about the sudafed, as you say probably wouldn't make much difference with the infection still there. Great to hear you are still doing well.

So i guess I'll take my medicine and see how this goes. I'm not sure what an infection means for this condition, more likely to be permanent? I'll continue to use the nasal spray and just get on. Hope you guys are doing good. Cheers Chris

Hi guys just been to the docs. Not what I expected. He gave me 500mg of Amoxicillin and said take that three times a day and come back in two weeks. He said it didn't look like an infection before but it does now. I'm not overly confident about his assessment from what ive read but I guess...

Sounds good guys i will suggest those to my GP once i have his assessment. I am mostly worried about my left ear getting worse now. I think i could learn to live with one ear ringing at this level but two would be a pisser. It seems very intermittent and lasted long enough to keep me awake the...

I wasn't sure whether it was just the noise making the ear feel very slighty blocked and I was just making up the ichynees or whether it is real. I'm still not really sure but I guess I'll see Great thanks Aaron I'll give that a try.

Hi guys a quick update. It's still there. I think it's stayed the same although I have gotten a little better at keeping it of my head. Still a very high pitched scream which changes suddenly every now and again. I'm doing alright, it has stopped preventing me from sleeping although it does...

Thanks for your great replies Michael and Aaron. Michael your articles are great you sure seem to know a lot about this thing. I am certainly starting to get it into my head that whatever the cause, this may be a long road. Aaron the noise is certainly very consistent and piercing and has...

Hi All I'm Chris and I'm a very new sufferer. Last Sunday morning I woke up at 5 in the morning with a very high pitched sound ringing in my ears. I think it started a couple of days before but after noticing it a couple of times it just went out if my mind. I haven't been exposed to any loud...
