Have you looked into balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube? It's not for everyone, but if you can't pinpoint any particular allergies and it's not due to teeth clenching or grinding at night or hormonal changes, they can sometimes dilate the tubes with a balloon. I think it's kind of a new...

...a noticeable difference after wear my splint for a couple months. Even 1.5 years ago, my ears would ring after a hot shower or when my allergies would act up, but it would return to a low level. End of last year is when my tinnitus totally faded. Even after a hot shower or allergies, it...

@Owen , Yeah, I meant Loratadine, thanks. How long after starting Flonase did you start to find relief from allergies?

...When your doctor prescribed you antibiotics, did s/he note that there was any buildup of fluid behind your ear drum? Do your allergies cause sinus congestion, headache, etc.? Did your doctor prescribe you prednisone, or some other steroid, to help with the inflammation? Antibiotics alone...

Hi, hope your are okay! I seen a post of yours saying your having a massive spike caused by allergies. Did this spike end up going back to baseline as I am going through a massive spike for 3 days now and I think I could be related to hay fever.

It very well could be. I'm not as knowledgeable as some others on this forum, being a newbie myself, but you causing tinnitus with the Valsalva maneuver sounds like ETD to me. Also could be allergies or congestion from a cold that you had.

it may be a combination of both. Do you experience pain from sound or chronic ear pain?

...a ton. It happens constantly. I never really cared and never bothered me. Only reason I even know of ETD is tinnitus. I DO have allergies and post nasal drip. I take an over the counter allergy medicine. I never complained to my ENT about the popping so never got a real diagnosis of ETD...

Laurie, I have had my regular doctor to seem to think it is allergies, she says she sees inflammation in my ears at times and a little fluid. I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time, I had an appointment but turned it down because I was afraid the drill and the tinnitus would not mix good...

My suggestion would be to go an see another doctor. It’s very possible that you may have an infection. Is it possible that you have allergies?

@Sarah200 , I have a sinus problem also due to allergies and need antihistamines all year round and a nose spray. Love glynis

I was sleeping in an incline before tinnitus, due to my allergies. So it works for my tinnitus. You would think I would have neck problems, but I don't.

Hi. I also have seasonal allergies, ragweed, pollen, trees, dust. An allergist will test you for 30-40 common known allergens and give you injections based on that. For years I had migraines and didn’t like the harsh medication that I had to take. The meds helped the headaches, but sometimes...

@christine kauhane what were your final thoughts on the food allergies? Did giving up those foods end up helping you?

...under control (that can take 18 - 24 months of multiple antibiotics plus supplements like the Cowden Protocol etc.). Lyme can also create allergies because the immune system can't see the Lyme and starts attacking other things. Allergies are very likely contributing to your T. Do check...

Hi this my first time with t due to my allergies so far thr last 3 month is I've notice improvements here and there I notice that sometimes when I stay in my t gose away and only when I go out my t is there sometime when I get home and I take a shower my t get low is there a...

@Melike Noooo, I think it’s the other way around for me. I think the ETD was caused from the TMJD. When my jaw started clicking, the allergies and ETD ensued. The inflammation, in my opnion, causes the ETD and allergies. Once you fix the jaw, all the other issues will go away. I only get ear...

It could be sinus related or Allergies (grass or tree pollen)along with Mucous in your Eustation Tubes. Have a chat with your doctor Love glynis

Yes I’ve taken Aciclovir since 2018. Firstly 2 x 400 mg and now 4 x 200 mg. I’ve had ups and downs with symptoms since taking these. However, I am convinced that my tinnitus had reduced as a result of going gluten free. Early days yet but I suffer with allergies to meds and pollen too.

Yes, happens often to me too. Unsure why, but I noticed it more often while taking oral steroids and then again while taking Flonase for allergies.

perhaps? is there any medical information other than our own subjective experience?

I'm very worried. My ears have been blocked due to allergies. Any tips or medications? Or just wait it out? At the moment all I'm taking is Flonase.

No I haven't. I do the saline rinses a lot too because of my allergies (I suspect it's dust mites). Sorry to hear that your tinnitus is acting up. Could you possibly have a cold or something? Just make sure in the future if you do the sinus rinse not to blow your nose too hard because water...

Tinnitus can change sound or add sound and strength for a reason and also for no reason. This time of allergies can cause spikes etc. love glynis

I tried both Plantago and Dymista... Dymista is a DREAM, especially helping allergies, it’s the only thing I’ve found helps me stop chronically sneezing in the summer months. Plantago didn’t do anything for me and it is horrid to drink!

I have very bad allergies and am allergic to many supplements and drugs. I need to be desensitized to the Valtrex.

This is a nonsense story, i took citierzine whatever against allergies. It is first generation anti histamin and can even cause or worsen T.

I highly suggest seeing a doctor. Be thankful it's probably not chronic if it can go away. Do you have allergies or neck problem?

I've had balance prob now for 3 yrs in July,also allergies,Get terrible headaches with this,I have now been told if you have tinnitus,balance it can be migraine related.Will be asking my dr about this.Had these allergies!for so long and antihistamines have never touched it.Wondering today would...

Hi @Jaybeee, The cold weather and wind can spike tinnitus and also times of the year for allergies etc ......lots of love glynis

@JuneStar , I have post nasil drip. I have allergies and take fexofenadine 120mg daily along with a nose spray and Montelucast with other things. love glynis

I know I have T. I have asthma and allergies (great). My allergies are related to my asthma and can really mess with my body. My asthma can be stress and exercise induced as well. I take an inhaled puffer (symbicort) for my asthma, plus an emergency (ventolin, salbutamol) for my asthma flares...

Ok, you might have what is called eustachian tube dysfunction. Do you have any allergies? If you don't know you should get any allergy test. Also look into purchasing the "EarDoc".

Hello Goodcheer the food and perfume allergies definitely make diverting your attention from tinnitus via social involvement more difficult, but not impossible i too have food allergies, and it just drives me nuts (short drive) when i go out with the few friends i have or get together with...

Thanks for this discussion...though I'm getting immunotherapy for my allergies, it's been a bad season. About 3 weeks ago, I started to get a lot of congestion in my right sinus...I awoke one morning with a distant high-pitched sound in that ear. Today, it began in my left ear. My allergist...

Hey @Will89 How does one check for un-detected allergies?

Allergies can indeed exacerbate tinnitus. It is likely to persist for a while (days/weeks) as the inflammation from the reaction clears up, but it should get better.

I've taken most antihistamines commonly sold OTC in the US or Russia as well as prescription antihistamines in the US. Zero effect on my tinnitus, short term or long term. I don't use this stuff very often, only when I am miserable with allergies.

my main problem is that i do not have any allergies whatsoever, i dont have any sinus issues at all either as i havent gotten any flu for like 8 years or so. im just scared about the stories of people having spike after taking them you know, but i think ill give it a try, thanks

ETD is diagnosed by ENT . A spray can help and steam inhalation. Allergies can also be a problem like grass and tree pollen this time of year. Love glynis

@hoper, I have taken it in the past but due to sever allergies causing breathing problems I now take Fexofenadine 120mg all year round. Love glynis

@kiel , I have lot's of allergies and Menieres and Bilateral tinnitus. The spray helps clear my tubes and lower inflamation. I don't have PET. Love glynis

Apple Cider Vinegar on shopping list,be nice to see if my allergies settle,for me that would be bliss,absolute bliss. Thanks for this tip.

Dizziness can be caused by a number of conditions including BPPV, Meniere's, Allergies, low blood pressure, anxiety, a virus etc...... http://vestibular.org/node/2

Hi, I use regular allergy shots so I can avoid taking medication. They work really well and are probably much safer than medication. There is a prescription for allergies called singulair which doesn’t mention ototoxicity, but you never know.

@Stasiapascual , I am a sever asthmatic and lot of allergies. Extra mucous due to allergies and sinus problems can cause post nasil drip and at night mucous goes down the back of your throat and in to your eustation tubes causing ear problems. Tinnitus comes with lots of unwanted emotions and...

"Eustachian Tube Dysfunction can be caused by large adenoids, allergies, or a cold. This dysfunction can cause crackling or popping noises in our ears."

...It sounds like you may have ETD. If so, it can take a long time to clear up. Especially, if you have or are currently experiencing seasonal allergies. I have some similar symptoms and used sudafed and steam inhalation that helped a bit per @glynis suggestion. Some of your symptoms sounds like...

@Scott T, Allergies can cause tinnitus and spike tinnitus due to the extra mucus in our tubes . Antihistamines and nasal sprays can help some people. love glynis

Hi Leanardo, I would have your ears checked again and a upto date hearing test. If you have allergies or sinus problems they need checking out also . Love glynis

are you sick/have cold/maybe an ear infection? maybe check that out with your ent? do you have allergies? it was my first t sound, but i was sick and had an ear infection when it happened and had allergies too...it went away after 2 months or so...now i still have t in one ear only, but it is...

...exposure. I use a $110 WINIX HEPA purifier from Costco in my bedroom. Consumer Reports says that on a high setting most air purifiers do a good job of filtering pollen. It hasn't actually helped me yet but I'm not sure if my cause is allergies or the vaccine as they both occurred in early March.

Glad to hear it Gary. I know I was so relieved when my ringing went back to baseline after being insanely loud due to allergies in September.

@CrystalB Doctors generally focus on physical signs and symptoms, would you ever consider investigating the root cause of your allergies? Are they all year round or seasonal?

It doesn't sound quite like that but close, but there hasn't been any clicking in the last 24 hours. Right now it's mostly high pitched hell. I didn't have any allergies until last year. I also have some mild sinus pressure right now.

Everyone's allergies are different but I take Dymista, a prescription nasal spray, and O T C Allegra for mine. No tinnitus or hearing effects. Did your Xyzal cause them?

If it's from allergies then no. But it's hard to track if it's from allergies or sickness during the winter. I advise you to get out more. Cold air kills bacteria and in winter most people get sick, because they just sit at home and transfer viruses and bacteria to each other. But I'll wear a...

I have the same thing. Also the itches. Not everyday but pressure i have a lot in both ears. Never tested on allergies. But it al started with the T.
