    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    Hey everyone. My tinnitus started in early November last year. 3 days after onset I went to my GP and was diagnosed with an outer ear infection. I can confidently say it's significantly improved over the weeks since then. I still notice it from time to time, but I feel like it's become a lot...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    I understand that. And I'm doing my best to push it to the background and get on with my life. I know that at the end of the day I just have to wait it out and see what happens, I've read stories of it going away for some and staying for others - and I know people learn to live with it, I know...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    With all due respect, by no means am I trying to imply that I'm ungrateful for my situation. I know, after reading many of the posts on here that I could have it much worse. I understand that my tinnitus isn't as disruptive as many of the other cases on this forum, but I'm trying to ask for...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    Hello everyone! Since it has been a while since my last post, I figured I would give an update on my situation - since my previous post, it's been 10 days since the usage of the anti-biotic ear spray (Acetic Acid) I was given by my GP after the ear infection was discovered. As time has...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    I understand completely that I need to be grateful for these circumstances. I am thankful that it's been mild and is steadily getting better/fading away. I'll continue to use the medicine I have been provided and monitor progress. Is it safe to use headphones? I'd like clarification on that.

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    Hello everyone! I've been experiencing mild tinnitus (only audible in quiet rooms stage) in my left ear since Monday.

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    Update: I used some white noise last night when the ringing was loud and I was able to fall asleep fairly well. After waking up today I've found that the ringing is very quiet, occasionally getting louder before settling down to a volume where I can barely hear it - I'm still using the ear spray...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    @Kriszti Thank you very much. As the days go on I'm feeling a lot more calmer about things - the ringing in my ear is still mild, and hasn't increased in severity since it started. I'm going to continue using the ear spray I've been given by my doctor and be careful about things. Is there any...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    Are you sure? I've been hearing the ringing since Sunday/Monday... and at first, it was only ringing until today I noticed the irritated feeling in my ear while I was walking outside. Is it possible that all the ringing I was experiencing has been because of the infection? Even if it was only...

    Sudden Tinnitus Started on Sunday — Doctor Confirmed Ear Infection in the Ringing Ear

    Hello everyone. I'm 19 years old, and I've noticed a ringing in my left ear since Sunday. To preface things, I've never been the kind of person to play music loudly through headphones - I've always made an effort to keep volume minimal and never be careless. I haven't come into contact with...
