Please, any comments or anything at all, I need help.
My symptom of tinnitus started last Sunday, Jan 6th. I'm not sure what is causing it, but I went to take a audiology test and it shows that my hearing is above normal, which it shows that my eardrum and the hair in my ear are not damaged. The audiologist, she told me I don't have that much of earwax either. I told her about my cold and there's this stuffy feeling in my ear, and she said its probably the cold that caused the ear congestion, which leads to tinnitus. The cold first caused me to have stuffy nose, then it goes up to both my ears, now the muscle of my neck feel like its stuffy and hardened like my ear.
So what could be the reason I have this symptom of tinnitus. It's not the earwax, as the audiologist said. My eardrum and hair are not damaged. But my cold is not going away yet, it been 11 days since i catched the cold. I still feel this stuffy or air pressure deep inside of my ear.
So the questions I have:
1. Could the cold caused me to have a permanent tinnitus?
2. How long do you think this symptom of tinnitus will last, if it's temporary?
3. What can I do to get rid of the cold and the congestion in my ear? (I'm taking Claritin-D 12Hour which help Nasal Decongestant.)

Hello,
A couple days ago I acquired a cold from school, and as a result, i have developed serious tinnitus. Also, in my condition, i am expirencing the same "deep pressure" in my ears as well. So it looks like you and I have the same thing. I took some Theraflu while was sick, and in my reading of the side affects of it, discovered that tinnitus was a possible affect.
So in concluding my comment, i would just like you to know that there are others with this problem, and im going to guess that it persists because of congestion and/or medication.
I would be sure that this is not permanent, permanent tinnitus is most commonly acquired from hearing loss or damage.
So, when the pressure in your ears goes away and you still are experiencing tinnitus, that would be the time to do some more research and schedule another appointment.

Hi,
Even i have suffered the same problem of tinnitus since about 3 years. I often suffer from cold and i believe that it is the cause of my problem. I hear a constant whistle and feel stuffy in my ear. Initially when the tinnius started, i used to sneeze very hard and the stuffiness used to go away and so would the sound. It often came back soon because i have sinus problems. But recently since a two years, my sneeze has become imperfect and gets blocked in my nostrils so the sound has returned. I even visited a few doctors who could'nt identify the problem as my hearing test showed a normal level of hearing.
Currently i have turned to yoga breathing exercises and i hope that it will help me.
I am not a doctor or a medical expert, but this is an account of my experience.
