I had ear wax removed yesterday by an experienced and reputable ENT. It was done manually. No syringe or microsuction. Now it feels like like my ear is louder as hell. The wax was soft and it was done with tools. Anyone ever have a tinnitus spike from manual ear wax removal?

I've been in a bad spike for 2 weeks now. Seems like the sounds are screaming in both ears. How long do spikes like this last? Never had it in my good ear. It’s just like a sound of waves screeching.

I went out on Thursday and had a night of binge drinking. I woke up hungover like everyone else. I developed a migraine the next day. Both my ears have been screaming ever since. Even my good ear. But I am also congested. Feels like this is my new baseline. FML.

In my fifth week of spike. No clue why tinnitus is screeching going ear to ear. No one in my life understands the hell I'm in. They just tell me it will get better. It seems my new tone actually hurts because it’s piercing. Just wish I knew what caused it. 7 doses of Augmentin for pneumonia...

Has anyone had a spike lasting for 4 weeks? Mine is at that point. Granted that I have allergies and am having surgery tomorrow. So I don’t know what it is at this point. I took 6 pills of augmentin a month ago for an infection and it's listed as safe. I have taken more potent antibiotics...

Been having a spike for 3 weeks now. Got some sharp new tones and tinnitus also went to my good ear. I can also feel pain and the only way I can describe it is some fluid or wax moving around. I took some Augmentin and it seems to have started then but stopped after 6 pills. Because I...

Hi. I live in the northeast and I’ve been in a spike for almost 3 weeks now. I know the pollen is high. But the ringing is in my good ear as well. I had to take some Augmentin a few weeks back for pneumonia but since it is 87% amoxicillin all the resources pointed to it being safe. I’m...

So I’ve been in a spike for a week and a half now. I took some antibiotics because of aspiration pneumonia. It seems like that was the cause. I made it thought 6 pills and stopped I still got this sever spike and my other ear seems to have it as well. Just can’t pin point it. I’m just...

I have Achalasia which makes me have aspiration pneumonia a few times a month. I have been prescribed Levaquin for it. I have taken it with no problems except each time I take it, I develop tendonitis which progressively gets worse; the side effect is tendon rupture. This time I switched to...

Just wanted to say that it seems like I'm in another spike. This has been going on for at least a week and a half now. Not sure if the weather is playing into it or what. But I am in New England. Like everyone else, this just sucks :(

Hi All, I've been on this forum for a year and a half now. But I just needed to vent and to ask a question. For the past few weeks my tinnitus just seems out of control I live in New England and the weather here has been going from snow to cold to warming up. Also I am sneezing more with...

My tinnitus has had this horrendous spike for a month now. And I hear it in the other ear and in my head as well. Went to an ENT on Friday and he cleaned out the wax with a loop instead of microsuction, latter of which put me into this current hell that I have been in for well over a year...

Hi All, I have not posted in a while but this is really bothering me. I had tinnitus now for a year due to an wax micro suction which was the worst decision of my life... For the past week it seems like I have tinnitus in my good ear now and I can't figure out why this is. I went to a...

Hi All, I've joined the forum 8 months ago when I experienced extremely loud T following ear cleaning. I wish I had better news to report but I am not doing well with this. It seems for the past week and a half my T has been easily 8.5/10 and has not gone down. I still take .5mg klonopin...

I have had tinnitus for 8 years which I habituated to and forgot it was there most days. Did not have any adverse affect on my life. 4 months ago I got my ears cleaned out cause I thought something was going on and the canals were blocked. From that day my life has been a living hell. I...

I started taking klonopin .5 mg 2.5 months ago after a severe spike which I am currently in from a ear cleaning. I have since gotten down to .125 before bed. Do you think that this dose is just placebo or is it still doing something. I don't have anxiety so I am not sure what to do at this...

I know its not the official start of the season but tonight the pre season starts and that means the real season is right around the corner. I usually go to alot of PATS games but now this T beast I am not sure how that is going to play out :(

Just got back from vacation this morning at 130 am after a long drive. Took .5mg Klonopin before I went to bed but still slept awful. Ear is really ringing bad today and it feels/sounds like it first did 5 weeks ago. When I was on vaca there were times where I forgot about it which could be...

What is your Klonopin dose and do you take it to reduce the ringing or for the anti-anxiety effects?

I've been taking Klonopin .5mg at night for 3 weeks cause I had my ears suctioned out and suffered a major spike. Did not take it last night cause I made a 9 hour drive. So during the drive at 2am. I kind of noticed T in my left ear which I don't think I ever had before. I got in around 4...

3 weeks since I've had this insane T spike or further damage from micro suction. It's sucks so bad. My T before I pretty much habituated to a 1/2 out of 10 when but now it's a constant 8. I go on vaca this week with my family to the Delaware shores. Which is usually filled with drinking, food...

So, I had my first pre meeting with a director of training for a CBT institute. And after sitting for an hour with this person I felt worse about myself, my life and my T. As soon as I walked in she asked why I was there and I explained that I went to have my ears cleaned and the micro-suction...

I took .5 of clonazapem on Wed night at 8pm and all day yesterday the T was tolerable and even up to when I went to bed 26 hours later. The dog woke me up at 1 am because he was a being a pita and the T was raging to the point I had to take another .5mg. Has this ever happened to anyone. Was...

in full crisis mode...had a house full of kids and i could not take it and had a panic attack. After they left i am just here sitting on the floor with tears in my eyes. T is so bad and out of control. I was fine a fucking week ago until my ears were cleaned out. I was in a managble spike but...

I've noticed that my tone changes in different environments. For example if I am in my car with the engine off its a ring, then i start driving and its a ring that goes in and out. When i walk into a quiet room a high pitched ring takes over. I am going crazy. This has been going on...

T for past 8 years and coping. Was in the middle of a spike for 2 weeks for what felt liked sinus infection. Went to ENT on Monday and she suctioned my ears out which I have had done before. A lot of wax came out. Now screeching T level and hypersensitive hearing that I can not function. Don't...

Hi, I have had T for almost 8 years now which resulted from someone removing wax with a tool and digging too much. For the past week and a half I felt like there has been a spike and it has been loud. Yesterday I went to the ENT and the PA suctioned out my wax which was impacted to see my...
