It's hard to tell as I don't notice it during the day, it's only at night where it can cause a problem due to lack of sleep. About twice a day it gets insanely loud that it over powers everything, but it usually dies down within 10 seconds - 1 minute. It randomly spikes and I don't know why...

...in my inner ears is normal, ear drums are in good shape and there is no hearing loss. My ear canals are still a bit irritated from the syringing. She said that there is a chance the tinnitus could be my ears adjusting to hearing without wax, and could go away, but there is no way to know for...

Umm just get the ENT to pick out the wax using that thin metal stick thing, not loud suctioning!

Thanks a lot for this information! I didn't know about the dental hygienist's "ultrasonic scaling tool". :thankyousign:

...here. I also had tinnitus caused by earwax impaction long ago before getting it permanently 10 years later. DO NOT let them use the syringing method, and be very careful with the irrigation method as well. They can cause tinnitus. Insist on manual removal with a tool if possible. And...

I had stress and anxiety when my tinnitus was mild and it wasn't exacerbated. I am betting money that syringing test has damaged me further. I hate saying it but caloric test did do additional damage to already damaged ears. You were right I should have not done it, the best thing to do is to...

In the end of the article, the author speaks about the brain "locking" in the sound. Does he mean permanent or that you are just more aware of the T? One of my fear with going around with increased T due to the wax blockage is that the brain is going to "lock itself" in the new and loud T and...

...talked about this on many occasions because this happened to me with second occurrence of tinnitus. First tinnitus was received from ear syringing causing hearing loss. A few years later, I had an upwards whiplash from a lying position which immediately increased tinnitus and caused more...

...Seeing damage on an audiogram is a sufficient but not necessary condition to having a damaged hearing apparatus. It is possible that the syringing itself caused an acoustic trauma. Several people on this board got T from syringing. Nobody can predict if it will go away or not unfortunately...

...talk about the closeness of the mandibular branch to the front lower dental implant. The scan shows that it also touches that nerve. I had subjective T for almost 7 years from high powered loud ear syringing which messed up my ears according to the doctors and scans talked about in this thread.

It is and it isn’t completely different. I’m not an expert. I’m going off of my brother’s experience who got grommets in years ago and my mate who ruptured his eardrum. They said they got an injection behind the ear, then stuff was poured in to make it numb, then taken out, so if that’s true...

That's correct. I've had 5 different injections through my eardrum. 2 blood patches (for what the doctors thought was a PLF from a trauma to my ear), 2 stem cell injections & 1 steroid injection. It heals in about two weeks. I have first hand knowledge of this... Mine were totally painless...

Where Did you get that? Would be good to check myself rather than having to book a gp appointed to check for wax.

The initial episode took place 8 years ago after ear syringing. Went to ENT 3 weeks ago cause my sinuses were hurting and I had was in a spike. She removed the wax and since then its been a rollercoaster. No hearing loss but this f**** ringing that wont let up.

thank you very much i will keep you updated, is there a chance that ear syringing can damage your ear and cause permanent tinnitus?

The people at Neuromod have crossed a line! ;)

If you see another doctor, I would suggest seeing an ENT because they specialize in the ear and would know more than an audiologist and a general doctor.

I don't know if that's the main cause. The same day of syringing I worked with a loud electric hedge trimmer without ear muffs, when I was helping my dad in his garden. And the neighbour of my dad also told she had a cat deterrent. I read that cat deterrents also can cause T. Before I also used...

...heal quick but do the eardrums heal back to normal or become scarred from the piercings?? I'm scared of the hole not closing properly. The syringing makes me nervous as well because I have heard of people from here getting their tinnitus from syringing. I'm just wondering if I'm making the...

...the sounds diminished to quite low after 5-10 minutes. From my research I think it maybe Hyperacusis. How this started because of an ear syringing is anyone's guess. I have a Audiogram on Monday and a ear doctor follow up after that. So I will keep you posted what happens. Thanks again. Peter

Can certainly vouch for that. Originally had mine due to a combination of wax and a rock concert, got shot of it with syringing. It came back for no apparent reason, now I've got a sinus infection and it's raging. Can't get it out of my head and that of course makes it infinitely worse! UK NHS...

...am now noticing a dull earache has appeared, and sounds feel 'louder'. Is this just a mental thing with me trying to hear more stuff over my T or have I got more issues? As I said on the other thread, I have earwax buildup, but I don't want to keep syringing for obvious reasons (more T!)...

...reflux. I haven't heard of ear problems as a side effect of that type of drug, but you never know.....it's possible! I hope that the ear syringing works for you, and that your problems are only due to a build-up of ear wax. If that doesn't work, maybe you could go to an audiologist to...

...Getting rid of the wax may help, and actually will help to at least some degree if your ears are blocked. I got my tinnitus from ear syringing, so make sure you tell the professional syringing your ears that you have tinnitus and that they should be extra careful. Keep us posted, and...

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be insensitive or argumentative. I've seen you mention Tympanometry and other tests as well. All that matters is the decibel level when the sound reaches your eardrum.

exactly, but remember ear syringing is water hitting the eardrum which can damage hearing. Somewone has to scream right into your ear...Acoustic Reflex is pretty much a sound emitted INTO YOUR EAR. Here I am right now crying as I am typing this because my H and T have become unbearable. This is...

...your ears during this period of vulnerability as your body is healing. You will want to avoid taking ototoxic drugs, avoid microsuction or syringing (performed when you need to clean wax out of your ears; a manual tool should be used), and not let your dental hygienist use an ultrasonic...

...done yesterday (they thought the earwax was causing the ringing) and now I’m super scared I damaged my ear with permanent tinnitus. I will say though that I feel fine!! I can hear better actually so I’m not sure why people say it can make it worse :/ I didn’t do micro suction, I did water...

I also have a tendancy to produce ear wax in my left ear somehow. I've had to have ear syringing done at least twice a year for the last 4 years... Before I got T, I never realized the danger of this procedure, but now I know better. I'm not about to let that happen to me anymore, so I'm looking...

...that don't consider your TMJ might worsen your bite. Not sure if they are trying to sell me something extra. My tinnitus came after syringing but I did put off using a nightguard for 2 years since a dentist first told me they spotted grinding so there maybe something to this TMJ thing...

It was two noise exposures followed by ear syringing that gave me tinnitus. The ear fluttering followed. When I realised I had tinnitus that wasn't going away, I became very stressed; that's around the time my ear drum spasming started. I took supplements like B12, Zinc, Magnesium for a long...

...another thing to say is that I recently came across two people whose T started with ear wax and got far worse after ear wax removal using syringing/irrigation (not clear which). But eventually both improved alot, one to the point where she feels the T is almost gone. So there's always a...

...careful around noise and ensuring I avoid those situations. I now think a year or two to heal seems realistic. This is easier to take if the healing progressively softens the intensity of the tinnitus. Thanks again, I will provide an update after my ENT appt. next week. And Yes, no more...

...thinking I needed to get the oil past the blockage. I know this was rather silly. It was after this that the discomfort persisted until the syringing at the fox’s office cleared the excessive ear wax and the oil. I hope the next ENT can have a thorough look for possible damage. Your reply...

Guess mine isn't good then. Thanks again. Hope I can fix it somehow.

When I first got tinnitus from power noise syringing, my ENT said that I have the worst case of T that she had seen in thirty years. After three and a half years it settled down to a 6/10 which was the sound of a loud microwave. At this level I went on with my life and sometimes I didn't think...

...hard not to focus on it throughout the day. The last week has been a big struggle, and of course I have been mightily upset at myself for syringing my ears. The difference in my tinnitus this time vs. the last 10.5 years is that the noise seems to be a loud, high-pitched, central head...

I have no clue how this is safer than syringing, it was INSANELY loud! also it seems to have stopped reacting to external sounds. how the heck does micro suction not cause tinnitus in the first place!

...Since then, it stayed at that very low, unobtrusive volume, where I could only lightly hear it when I'd try to sleep. After my second ear syringing (just a month ago), it amped up to maybe 2.5-3 times the volume (I also got mild hyperacusis from that syringing). So, not sure about the root...

...while, only for it to return a few days later - more annoying than before. From then in I started noticing the crunching ear sounds when swallowing, and a ‘full’ ear feeling after running, which I did not have when I ran before the syringing. Could all this point to inflammation related...

...those large syringes they mostly use in hospitals for wax removal are just with too much water pressure AND TOTALLY unnecessary even with lots of buildup. A few ear wax removal solution sessions will take care even of the worst case. some say their t got worse after syringing , NOT worth the...

Sounds harmless enough... Except... Quite a few are on this forum as a consequence of the syringing... Olive oil sounds harmless enough though...

...worse than my bad (right) ear – a thin and very annoying high pitch tone that I can hear over most things now, as before I could not hear it over hardly anything. It's very upsetting. How long did it take for it to get better? Do you think it was because of the syringing or ear infection, or...

...oil, not the type you cook with though, you can get this from your local pharmacie that should lossen the wax after a few days. If that fails then you may need your ears syringing out by a Ent or doctor. Your pharmacie will tell you how to do the method with olive oil. Good luck wish you well.

I have 3 and will need redoing soon. I am worried though, my T did not start because of dental work but rather ear syringing in the right ear. So is there a chance root canals can cause T. If so millions of people have root canals how come they don't get T? its why I'm worried and maybe its...

There you go, your past life style caused your T to eventually come out. Consider that you can still hear and do not wear hearing aids. That life will go on no matter what the challenges are. Keep the faith and continue to learn for possible solutions to T symptoms. Good luck.

I did the syringing now. There was a small piece of... well I don't know what it was... that came out. It was kind of "blackish" as the nurse said. It got washed away so I had no chance to inspect it. Well... I did try. I think there might be something either in front or behind the eardrum that...

...I am wondering if the normal level noises over the years has done this to me. Now my hearing is important to me as one of my hobbies is music so its not just annoying, it could eventually prevent me enjoying music. I am also wondering if the recent ear syringing had anything to do with it.

...before and told that after the doctor consulted with medpace the study sponsor it was decided I didn't qualify because mine was from ear syringing, ridiculous but looking back on it I'm happy it worked out that way, the dr doing the trial told me if it was any consolation he wasn't too...

Interesting that a normal procedure like syringing your ears can give you tinnitus. I'm sure in a lot of cases GPs do the procedure to save sending patients to a specialist which is a lot more expensive then dealing with a government-subsidised GP. Was it a GP or specialist that did your ears...

Have you ever received any plausible cause by reading scientific material or has anyone in the weird and floppy occupation called medical doctors provided you with some clues? Have you ever been told the ever so classic line "it's most likely some sort of hearing loss" phrase?

Yeah, I'm not definitely the only one whose tinnitus started after ear syringing, but if you check these statistics, I've hit the jackpot of tinnitus, so to speak! Chronic Tinnitus Resulting from Cerumen Removal Procedures It's soon been 3 years in my case though, so I'm more than chronic by...

...family doctor tried to help. She syringed my ear after she thought she saw a piece of hair on my eardrum. Neither she nor I knew that ear syringing may cause or worsen tinnitus. And, in hindsight, perhaps the ear syringing was the final blow in my becoming chronic. But at least she tried...

...but it's unlikely that this muscle caused PT alone. I would say PT is from ear irrigation. I had slight PT to the pillow when I had ear syringing as being first tinnitus onset. It took a month or so before it developed. It went away, but any ear damage other than hair cell death was never...

...be sure to research the risks of anything that you might try so that it doesn't get made worse. I've tried flushing my ears out with water (syringing) a couple times, and both times it made my ears worse. The second time it gave me severe hyperacusis so that I can't be around a lot of narmal...

They surgical inserted electrodes on your cochlea? That would have created a hole or holes in your ear drum, which could cause increased tinnitus. I am unsure how they would have reached the cochlea without a surgical procedure. It’s well beyond the ear drum, not visual to the eye.

Hopefully things will change for the better after they clear the wax from your ears.

@Tinniger I have only a very small loss of hearing only in left ear which I got years ago from syringing. I didn't get additional hearing loss from physical somatic whiplash, although my tinnitus is now very severe with a very high pitch. It's more in left ear, but it can move to other ear...

Who said anything about ear syringing!? If the doctor didn't see any wax in the ears, then there's no need/point @nicole m we can't tell you what to/what not to do but if you can "feel/sense" congestion, then the nasal spray is a good idea (take as directed) as it will unblock the nasal/air...
