Thanks for the advice, Greg. While doing a search for related topics, I came across your experience in one thread, regarding neck and jaw issues...

Yeah, the rash was quite dramatic, red flat blotchy marks everywhere! I suppose the amoxicillin could have side effects (itching etc) which would...

Hi guys, I have had moderate/severe tinnitus for 2 years from sensorineural hearing loss in industry. I got used to it after a year or so and went...

Yeah its despicable how DR's can give a false sense of security over the safety of certain drugs/procedures, to the price of the patient as you've...

Hi JSalvatore, I know all too well about sinus issues since I seem to constantly suffer from them, the past few days I've had a sinus infection...

Hi @dboy rotten luck with the neomycin eardrops! :( I unwittingly used neomycin eardrops for a week 4 months into tinnitus, only afterwards...

The same thing happened to me last year, a gaint exhaust on a modified car backfiring right next to me as it drove down the road, except it didnt...

Yeah another disappointing buy!.....the most effective solution I've found is using both foam earplugs and the wind free earmuffs. The only reason...

Hi, just thought I would give a little update on how I'm getting on with the 'cat-ears classics 2' as I promised I would do. Well unfortunately...

True, nothing wrong with a leisurely bike ride, but going slow just seems to be a waste of a road bike! Plus I ride for fitness/endurance etc. :)...

Thanks for your advice Dan, cycle at 9mph or stick a fish bowl on my head, got it! (y)

Thanks for the tip Telis, I was thinking the same about using cotton, must be alot better at dampening wind noise than silicone plugs. The one...

OK will do! :)

Ha! That's actually pretty funny you mentioned the cat ears product, I ordered the classics ii pair on Friday! ;) Hoping the fleece/fur type...

Actually scratch that! :bag:....went out again with just earmuffs and still not much difference, still loads of wind noise! :arghh:....just hope...

Thanks for your replies @Tamika and @dboy I've just come back from a 3 hour ride and the wind noise once again was relentless and just plain...

@iAzra Sorry you're having these problems with your teeth, it is a nightmare because dentists is the last place those with tinnitus want to be,...

Hi @Rhea sorry you going through all this crap right now, I can empathise with you because I was in a similar situation last year. First time...

Hi! The T definitely settled down again, I since come the conclusion it was nothing to do with the dentist/drilling/mercury fillings etc because...

@Geo and @Telis I don't know if you have already tried this but a magnesium deficiency is said to at least contribute to sensitive hearing, maybe...

Also the past few days my tinnitus has been reactive, traffic, running water, wind noise etc all makes my T rise above it briefly?

So after trying to pop my ears this morning on doctor's advice over the phone (told me it sounded like glue ear) my tinnitus got even louder! It's...

Hi @BarbaraAnn 2 years is a long time to have plugged ears! I've had blocked ears for short periods before and suspected it to be anxiety/stress...

No the spasms/twitches never made any additional noises, because it was more the outer ear that was twitching rather than inside the ear/ear drum....

That's good you've got an appointment with an ENT, hopefully then you can get to the bottom of the ear twitching, it can be maddening! Just on a...

The only other thing I can think of is Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome or some sort of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?......have you been to a doctor...

OK, maybe its stress/anxiety related?....I remember the first year of tinnitus I constantly kept getting ear fullness (stuffy ears) warmness of...

Yeah T can do that, my T started in my right ear but its now in my left (but not as bad) as well, sometimes i perceive the sound as coming from...

Hi @russiancarl I sympathise because my T has got worse slightly since early December, 4 days after dental work, I was due to have another...

Ugh....this thread reminds me of that awful dark time over a year ago now, the worst thing I did was drink every night, just makes everything 10...

Hi Chelles, yes the ear twitching went away after awhile, i agree its highly irritating! It started after I did some intense cardio, but it was...

See that's what I'm worried about. Here in England the fillings are free or at affordable price brackets on the NHS, they still use amalgam...

It must be unrelated to the drilling because of such a long delay? Out of interest did you get amalagam (mercury) fillings?

Yes, I thought that originally, but for 4 days after the drilling my T was fine? Why such a long delay in the spike if the drilling is responsible?

@dboy no that's OK, in fact doing research into amalagam fillings helps distract me from tinnitus so it isn't all bad! ;) As you are aware, there...

Leah, it will lower again. Keep telling yourself...though you may be panicking like crazy now....This too shall pass!

@dboy Regardless of both convincing arguments from both sides, for me personally, what i choose to believe is also sometimes....."what I want to...

Oh man!...I'm sorry your going through this Telis! I've been reading your posts and I'm horrified with your situation! I also used alcohol when...

But then again?....... www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/mercury.html .....maybe a little too quick to jump the gun! :dohanimation:

I completely agree @dboy , I'm angry because they didn't even ask me if I would like amalagam fillings or not?....I bet my dentist just saw the...

@dboy Thanks for your reply, the problem with tinnitus and it worsening is there is no real way of knowing what is causing the spikes, It could be...

@Greg Clarke I also have had 3 mercury fillings before tinnitus, and no connection was there because my T was noise induced, at the start my T was...

@russiancarl I now believe its the mercury in the fillings i had done is why my T has got worse! I didn't even know, I presumed they were...

Cheers @dboy hopefully things well settle down again. Good luck getting your mercury fillings removed! :)

@dboy no the fillings were composite resin white fillings, well I say white they're more of a blue colour!? Lol...i didn't think they did mercury...

@MattK i get the different forms having different uses, citrate i believe is good for keeping you regular...lol...I think the best form of...

@russiancarl My tinnitus is noise induced, I thinking now my tinnitus is more easily worsened then the norm......before T I had looked after my...

I remember watching this video last year couldn't believe his tinnitus is that loud! I mean even the volume on low was too much for my...

The external noise wasn't even loud, if the dental work is responsible for this spike it must have been from the bone conduction. I didn't take...

The obvious answer would be yes, but I get a fluctuating humming noise at nightime that sounds like a lightsaber, I know for sure this in my T but...

Hi @Leah I was fine for 4 days after the drilling, but the T reacting the way it is now it must have been the drill through bone conduction, my...

Yeah, there is so much conflicting info out there its enough to give you headache! But I try not to sweat the small stuff since I've had some good...

I definitely think the drilling has made my tinnitus worse! It is more pronounced around everyday noise, normally the TV masks it quite well but...

Your right, it is tricky trying to understand what effects ingredients in supplements might or might not have? I just put into google 'what is...

Yeah I feel a sensation in the head when I get fleeting tinnitus for a minute or so, sometimes my hearing in both ears dips temporarily and get...

Hi @russiancarl im in the same boat, I had 2 fillings done a week ago, I originally wore earplugs but couldn't tolerate the skull vibration with...
