...appointment, and I am far from an expert on these matters, as I am relatively new to all of this myself. My best guess is that it is some combination of allergies, TTTS, and/or Eustachian tube issues. The fluid sensation seems to be a rare symptom, as I have not found many people talking...

...the exposure was no more than 65-75 dB via the Calm app (I was using it to help me sleep). I have frequent insomnia, anxiety, and terrible allergies. When it came back and hung around, I happened to also be experiencing what felt like Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, where the ringing ear would...

...when I bend over, turn my head, extend my jaw or press behind my ears. It all started after a 2 week upper respiratory congestion from allergies cleared up. A few days later, I woke up with loud ringing in both ears but since then it has slowly decreased in intensity ...or I’m just becoming...

...it's currently spring here... we had a lot of windy days and fires and smoke in September and I noticed my hay fever flared up (I have some allergies) then I caught two colds one after the other... I noticed a hissing sound in my ears after the first cold but only in a very quiet room and...

...for almost 5 years. I am not exactly sure how it was caused but it happened right after a Boy Scout camp. I believe it was caused by severe allergies but not 100%. I have been visiting this site ever since but haven't bothered to make an account because at first, I couldn't accept that I had...

Update: The doctor said it is a very rare side effect, but I began experiencing a heavy, depressive “downer” mood that would last for a good part of the day whenever I used Flonase in the evening for several days in a row. So be aware of that possible side effect. I have seen other posts on...

I have no idea the exact date it started. I have noted that it is definitely affected by anything with chocolate in it also caffeine makes it scream. I do avoid all sugar, I use sweeteners instead (liquid splenda) which so far has no effect on the volume.. I am learning as I go as to what foods...

Does anyone experience this? I was not exposed to any loud noises prior to my ear ringing. No meds. I was sneezing a few days before and had some head congestion. Also, if this was an viral infection...does anyone know how long it typically can last after the virus leaves?

I have allergies, and when they flare up, my tinnitus also flares up. Coming from the desert in the American Southwest to the Deep South, where I'm originally from, has been an adjustment too. High humidity is a problem with tinnitus. I'm acclimated to the humidity after 1 1/2 years, but there...

Anyone’s T worse in the morning? I have allergies, wondering if it’s an escuchian tube thing OR AM anxiety?

Eyes and head feel heavy with pressure (allergies) of coarse I can't take shit to alleviate the pain. Fuck

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!!, Yesterday I woke up with a very bad cold, congestion and pressure in my ears... I feel awful. Because of the ear pressure I have a very bad spike and my ears are clogged. two days ago I took motrin, then yesterday I took benadryl, should I take another...

...infection early March which I ended up losing the antibiotics for so I couldn’t finish the last days. I also am known to have seasonal allergies, I live in Los Angeles part time and Boston part time but am in LA due to quarantine. When I first got here I noticed much more nasal congestion and...

...and won in the early 2010's . Cisplatin was one of the chemo agents (ototoxic, absolutely). July 2019 had a big bout of a combination of allergies and possibly mold build up from old furniture. I went to doctor and said I had some chest wheezing. Then August 2019 went to a metal...

...felt an urge to pop my ears repeatedly, and this happened several times throughout the day. At first, I thought it might be due to spring allergies, but nine months later, it’s still occurring. It can happen while driving, lying down, or walking. I’ve never experienced this before in my life...

No, there's no mold or dust here. My hearing is fine, perfect audiograms. ENT told me I had no hearing loss or any problems such as sinusitis, eustachian tube dysfunction, allergies, tonsillitis, etc.

...hearing was normal. My ears still had some pressure in it (my ENT and GP could see this too). Anyway my ENT thought maybe it's because of allergies so he gave me a nose spray, it helped a bit with my ears. Like they weren't that blocked anymore. But with my tinnitus it didn't change. So he...

They are Norwegian brands, so I don't think you will get them at your place. But the antihistamine is a regular one for allergies called Cetirizine.

Hi Michelle, Sorry to see your post, tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus truly can be terrifying. Allergies certainly can cause both types. The good news is that if it’s caused by allergies, then treating the underlying cause should ease all your symptoms in time. 6 weeks is a very short timeframe...

Another great example. Profound indeed. George

...which can cause tinnitus. Have you considered getting that treated? Also, a 'high riding jugular bulb' can cause tinnitus. A friend of mine had tinnitus as a child and had the exact same thing, and it was solved through intense surgery. Now, she only deals with it when her allergies act up.

I can never tell if my ear discomfort is actually my t reacting to my day or if it's my allergies. Bets are on allergies as it's one ear

So lately I’ve been having severe allergies and the only thing that’s helped is Sudafed. But now my left ear has started ringing. I suspect it’s due to allergies. Hopefully it calms eventually. I’m not used to the weird single pure tone. :(

I see you have allergies listed as a cause, and with allergies in the air in the northern Mountain West, I have to wonder if the sinus pressure contributes to the low humming sound.

The mind is indeed a very powerful thing. Standing in dirt barefoot... not so much...

...tinnitus can occur when abnormal pressure develops in your inner or middle ear. This can be a direct result of congestion caused by allergies. Allergies cause tinnitus usually by fluid in the ear from blockage of the Eustachian tubes. Congestion and inflammation can develop in your ears if...

Hi @GeorgeLG -- I don't doubt for a moment. My wife is a counselor who has worked with people with multiple personality disorders. I ran across an account once of someone with MPD who had severe allergies when in one personality, and no allergies when in another. Profound implications!

Does allergies make tinnitus worse?

...Stress Dehydration Musculoskeletal issues (cervical spine restrictions, TMJ, etc.) Inflammation Certain foods High sodium intake Sugar Allergies Elevated blood pressure Smoking Poor sleep Medications And more Seeing the sheer number of contributing factors, I started to take note of my own...

This was also my understanding? That the second gen (i.e. Zyrtec, Aerius, etc.) are not a problem, and instead ones like Benadryl are more concerning. I would love to know as I fight allergies daily.

I didn't see Allegra-D listed as ototoxic on the websites I looked at. FWIW, I have bad seasonal allergies, and sinus issues in general, and have been taking Benadryl for 20-30 years at night. Never had any issues w/ tinnitus and it definitely helps me sleep better.

...that day my ears make a "pop" sound every single time I swallow and I hear a constant ringing. I've been to an ENT who was positive it was allergies (mucus irritating my ears) so I went to an allergy specialist who told me that I'm allergic to cats. (I've never had a cat and I live in a brand...

...me much. But 2-3 months ago my mother was diagnosed with Ménière's disease. Now I'm completely unsure if my recent "flare up" is due to allergies, and eustachian tube dysfunction. Or if I just had habituated myself to not pay attention and then when my mother brought her symptoms to my...

Developed a single pure tone in left ear. Might be due to allergies tho.

I have been taking Claritin for my allergies thinking it will help my tinnitus but I believe my tinnitus is much worse.Anyone same?

No. I didn't have it. I had my adenoids removed when I was a child. I got chronic allergies around the time all this happened to me.

My ENT is suggesting tubes. I need to get my ear drum ventilated.

...feeling this stabbing pressure on the left side again. I also notice mucus draining down my throat, but I’m neither sick nor suffering from allergies. It’s all very uncomfortable, and to make things worse, my tinnitus has become extremely loud. Do any of you experience these strange episodes...

...stuff going on—my tinnitus gets noticeably calmer, and my ears feel free from constant but fluctuating pressure. I also have terrible allergies that I can no longer take medication for since they spike my tinnitus and asthma, which I do manage to take Singulair for. Still, I haven't had an...

...Valsalva, which causes my eardrums to flex out suddenly. With this technique, I can temporarily restore my dynamic range, regain high frequencies, and eliminate distortion for up to a minute. Does anyone here have similar symptoms? There are no allergies involved; this was an isolated event.

...I went to the ER in hopes of getting some real treatment because it has been driving me crazy, and the ER doctor treated me as if I have allergies and prescribed flonase and zyrtec. I have an appointment with an ENT this upcoming Thursday but I am already beginning to lose hope in finding...
