    Help! Tinnitus Louder After Ear Syringing

    Not loud at all. If I had to grade it I would say 60dB. It's a lot quieter today but I still want to make sure it didn't cause permanent damage. I'm not getting syringed again. I'm still working on reducing the tinnitus.

    Having Tinnitus After Ear Wax Cleaning (Water Irrigation) and Neomycin Ear Drops

    ...of tinnitus can go away even after months or years. The longer you have it, the less likely it is to go away, but you are still in the early stages so anything is possible. It's impossible to say if it was caused by the syringing or the Neomycin, or the combination of those two. :huganimation:

    Tinnitus from a Bike Tire Explosion

    Leave it till then, or try to get an earlier appointment with another ENT. Probably best not to self-irrigate. By the way, I wouldn't let the ENT do microsuction or syringing. Manual removal isn't without risks, but it seems to be the safer option.

    Tinnitus After Unblocking Wax

    ...Maybe the brain's gain mechanism is effected by in a way that is completely not understood or maybe something is missing. I am genuinely confused. There's many cases where people damage there hearing from syringing and say ear wax moval caused tinnitus ignorantly, but here is a weird case.

    Ear Wax and Tinnitus

    I haven't heard of wax in itself causing a permanent increase. For me, the syringing procedure caused chronic tinnitus in the first place, but it seems to be a very rare occurrence and I must've had bad luck. Of course a blocked ear can make tinnitus seem (way) more intense. But once cleared...

    Otonomy OTO-313 — Treatment of Tinnitus

    That's completely different. The "earwax softening stuff" normally gets washed out during syringing or a normal shower. With an intratympanic injection, you have a hole in your eardrum, and to my understanding, you need to avoid any liquid going into the middle ear until the eardrum heals.

    ...my first onset of tinnitus, it would help for a day or two after months, but then My T would go back to baseline. I would take a very small amount for 2 days or so.

    Sudden Low Frequency Hearing Loss??

    You went back to the doctor and he demanded ear syringing. It means your ears aren't clean yet. I would get them clean. Having an ear plug in your ear all the time can cause wax buildup. Also I have a hunch that ear plugs act almost like ear wax impactions because they block sound. We know...
