That’s so good that you get a follow up appointment! Where are you from? And did you have to pay for this surgery? I’m ok, tinnitus varies a lot-...

I have all of those too and I was found to have severe sinus disease and had to have FESS at the end of October there. Tinnitus was super quiet...

Do you know, I feel exactly the same! Maybe the fact that we are both suffering with it means this is a normal part of the process? My doctor has...

Hi! How are you now? I had FESS (middle meatal antrostomy) on the 27th October! Found my tinnitus soooo quiet for a week, then got an infection...

There’s a very high chance you are only experiencing the ringing as a result of your ear infection. Try not to worry too much & get lots of rest :-)

FESS done, T was SUPER quiet for about a week and a half. Now having a post op infection got pain, can’t hear and T is LOUD !

Sorry for your loss Dave, sending all my love to you and your family at this sad time xx

Hi @mrbrightside614 I had my surgery on Tuesday! Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting it to be. I had a middle meatal antrostomy in the end....

16 days til FESS

I get the distortion really bad sometimes. After a CT scan it was found I had really diseased sinuses on that side and when they were really...

I get distortion from time to time and I have severe sinus disease on the side that gets it. Do your ears pop? Mine won’t at all when I get the...

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...

Hayfever has my ears playing at a whole new volume!

I had the exact same in January 2019! It never fully went away but it turned out I have major sinus issues that cause my blocked Eustachian tube...

I get this every few weeks like clockwork- my sinuses are fxcked & it’s causing major ETD. When my tubes get full/compressed or whatever it causes...

I hope it helps you! :-)

I’m waiting for FESS surgery at the moment and this didn’t help me, it wouldn’t go out the other nostril :eek: The only thing that helps me when...

Hi @James Foley I suffer badly with sinus/ETD and I get that hiss often! Usually towards the end of an episode, like you Sudafed seems to really...

@UrbanBubblegum I am a long time Fexofenadine user. I usually only take it in hayfever months but I have been taking it continuously since October...

What a weird and unhelpful thing to say.

Hi, your tinnitus start sounds very similar to mine! Mine is still ongoing now over a year later but when they’ve looked into it I have some major...

I’m sorry to hear that :-( When mine is spiked it keeps me awake a lot, I end up reading AskReddit all night :cat: Is there nothing you can do to...

Mine reacts to nothing apart from the shower & when my sinuses/tubes act up! I’m not going anywhere NEAR turbinate reduction! I’ve read about ENS...

I’m getting some form of sinus surgery this year! I’m the same with the post nasal drip and constant blockages it drives me (and my tinnitus)...

Maybe go and see the chiropractor? If stretching affects your tinnitus then maybe that means you have found at least some of what’s causing it? (n)

My tinnitus varies from near silence or a faint hissing to unbearably, hear over everything loudness!! Mine is from a tube/sinus problem and when...

I was on SSRI and it didn’t make a difference to my tinnitus! It got me through a rough patch as well, I also attended some self help sessions...

@Solose How are you now solose? X

It also happens when I have some fluid trapped or a sinus infection! Sudafed over the counter stuff is good and only about £3.00

Mine is almost like a precursor to being ill! What country are you from? Sorry I’m in the UK and Sudafed is really common here but it might be...

I get a lower pitch added when my ETD is playing up! Get some over the counter Sudafed and see if that helps ?

@Lane Also I should add I’m not supposed to attempt rinses anymore because the fluid was getting trapped and contributing to the problem !

@Lane I think I have tried every single type of sinus rinse available My CT scan showed severe sinus disease in all of my right side sinuses and...

@Lane also in what way did he feel it was the worst decision? This is literally only to clean out my sinuses not to alter them in any way.

@Lane unfortunately It’s a last resort as I have tried everything else! I’m not bothered if it doesn’t take my tinnitus away but it would be nice...

@cjbhab if you don’t mind me asking, how did your tinnitus come on?

@Bill Bauer it happens even if I go in bath! Or if I get too hot like steam room for example!

@Shera ETD sucks so bad! They can’t figure out what’s causing mine, they put the camera up my nose and said my adenoids were huge (had tonsils...

:) @Shera That sounds positive for you! I’m not sure why mine does it to be honest, tinnitus is a strange thing!

@astaff14 Yeah it’s always been that way! It always goes down once I’m out. I’m guessing it’s something to do with my ETD? Who knows !
