    Slap to Ear Caused Tinnitus, Perforated Eardrum, and Ear Infection

    I've decided to come back and post this update as I remember quite how frustrating it was to not to find many positive recovery stories here relating to my situation. I now understand that most people who recover from their tinnitus pretty much get on with life and don't want to be reminded of...

    Slap to Ear Caused Tinnitus, Perforated Eardrum, and Ear Infection

    Thank you for your response but I think it is a pretty unfair thing to say to someone who feels pretty down already. Sometimes people come on sites like this for a little encouragement and understanding.

    Slap to Ear Caused Tinnitus, Perforated Eardrum, and Ear Infection

    It is the middle of the night and I can't sleep. After a couple of days where my tinnitus was getting more manageable, now my left ear is screaming away and my right ear is thumping away and I can hear my heartbeat in it more loudly. At this point I just feel so dejected. Why me? This is now 7...

    Just an update from my ENT who has now suggested an MRI but after reading some of the information here, it suggested it might make things worse. What do you think?

    I Can Feel Buzzing Inside My Throat: Is This Part of Tinnitus?

    Possibly the antibiotics but I stopped that about 2 weeks ago. Should I give it another couple of weeks for this to die down? My blood pressure is controlled with meds so I presume that may not the cause. Stress levels are very high though, I'm trying to keep myself calm. Thank you.

    I Can Feel Buzzing Inside My Throat: Is This Part of Tinnitus?

    I thought it may be pulsatile but I can't actually hear my heartbeat unless I shut my ears and really listen for it which I always could pre tinnitus, I thought pulsatile was hearing your heartbeat? The ENT didn't suggest a MRI, he just said stop thinking about it and it will go away.

    I Can Feel Buzzing Inside My Throat: Is This Part of Tinnitus?

The ENT said it...
