    Marias21, it can't hurt to try the spray. It's definitely helping me.

    A few questions

    And I also forgot to say that I'm taking six of the Wal-Phed a day. It makes total sense now why a shower sometimes made the ringing go away, from the steam, and why naps made it come right back on days that I was feeling good after a shower!

    A few questions

    I forgot to mention that I had called an ENT nurse at a very large facility here the other day, and she argued with me that tinnitus could be caused by eustachian tube dysfunction, despite the fact that you can find tons of articles about it on the Internet, even from places like Baylor...

    Yes, I am so glad I found it! I seriously feel like a new person. I'm using Nasacort Allergy 24 Hr. I think it's important to use that one. It just became available over the counter, and I think it's the only steroid one there is. It says to use it once a day, but the manufacturer said it...

    A few questions

    I wanted to give an update, just in case it helps anyone else. I went for a free hearing test. My hearing is perfect, but when they did the test on the bone behind my ear, there was what he called a gap, meaning there's something going on behind my eardrum. He said I needed to see an ENT...

    That's what I thought. So am I likely to have tinnitus forever with this?

    A few questions

    That is a very good question about the hot showers. I have no idea what it could be. I have been way less stressed than usual, but it hasn't really changed. It has been really bad today. I definitely think there is something more going on now, though. When I went to the doctor a few weeks...

    A few questions

    Thank you, Grace! I have had a much more positive attitude towards it since reading everything on this board. It has been so helpful. Marias21, I have actually been wondering about allergies. I've never been diagnosed with it, but I've pretty much been stuffed up my whole life, so I wouldn't...

    A few questions

    I do take my headphones off a lot, but I put in a ridiculous amount of hours working, so I'm sure I've worn them way too much over the years. I have the padded kind that go over your ears. I'm going to wear them as little as possible now. The day before yesterday the tinnitus was pretty loud...

    Thank you!! I hope you're right. I'm seeing an audiologist on Monday, and I'm going to try some trigger point massage. You've given me a little hope!

    A few questions

    Hi, everyone: I've had tinnitus for about a month. I'm assuming it's probably from going to too many rock concerts in my life, but I also wonder how much of it might be due to my job. I have been a transcriptionist for 28 years and wear headphones all the time for it. I work a lot of hours...
