I'm having it as well. Tinnitus just doesn't seem to go away. I use a Neti pot, inhale steam, take Sudafed, antibiotic and an antihistamine. It's going on since I had some conjestion about 2 months ago. Anything else I can do?
Having an almost identical issue. Was it ever resolved? How long did it take?
I am having this issue now. It's driving me crazy. It's only in my left ear. I went to the ER. The doc said my ear was full of wax. The doc flushed my ear out however the ringing is still there. The first night after flushing my ears the sound was worse. Now the sound is a little better but still annoying. I am on nasonex. I do not think that it is working. How long should I wait to expect results.
I would greatly appreciate the feedback thank you. Sorry if im sending to any forums I cant tell if im sending myself these messages or to you lol. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right lol. but thank you very much for your time. Hopefully you can answer me back my last questions that I have sent you. I don't know whether toi let it go anbd see what happens or just keep taking nasonex and maybe something else to speed up recovery
thank you for giving me good adivce I appreciate it. I would like to keep you posted I would really appreciate the feedback of my last question thank you very much. For your time
Hey whats going on? yea I took the iburoofen for a week a while ago it didn't get worse it wall. I ended up being okay but I do still have a little bit of tinnitus. It's nowhere near as loud and annoying as it was so I guess it is getting better. My ENT is telling me it's not permanent since I don't have any hearing loss or anything. ITs just Eustachian Tube Dysfunction he says its the after math from my infection 2 months ago. He said its not unusual at all that's it's still gong on. He's telling me its gong to go away completely in time the tube just needs to heal again. He didn't tell me to take anything else, my question do you think I can take Sudafed for a couple of days? Maybe it could speed up the recovery? cause I'm not real congested or anything anywhere else my ears just keep popping every time I swallow. So I don't know if I should take Sudafed or not since I'm not congested anywhere else. I don't whether I should Just keep doing the Nasonex and nothing else and wait n see? or if I should take some Sudafed and see what that does. Im not usually a person that takes medicines a lot I usually just like to work out and exercise a lot and let my body take care of it. But I never had tinnitus for 2 months before haha...but I'm just wondering what would be the better alternative do you think? try some Sudafed for a couple of days or just let it go and wait and see

Hello and hope you are doing well.
According to studies done Ibuprofen causes tinnitus in 1% to 3% of the people taking the medication. But this could be dose related. Higher doses for prolonged periods may produce tinnitus. You can start this anti inflammatory medication, if your tinnitus is worsening, you can stop the same. And usually tinnitus which is induced because of a medication is reversible, it stops on stopping the medication. Take Care & Wish you a speedy recovery.

I would really appreciate the feed back thank you
Hey how are you doing? Its been a couple of weeks...I haven't been on here for a while bit hanks for your replys back...my ear is still ringing a little bit it's been a month I saw the ENT specialists and he prescribed me anti-inflammatory steroid...the ringing def. Went down a little bit. Then we waited a week and then he told to take ibuprofen. Which at first I didn't think was a bad idea. But I looked it up online and I'm seeing that ibuprofen can cause permanent or temporary tinnitus. Or even make tinnitus worse. So I'm really nervous to take it so I hadnt taking all week. But I did take one today. Because I called the ENT specialist back and I said to them how I read this stuff online and he he knows when I'm talking about. But he still thinks I should take it. So do you think I should take it? Do you think I'm just looking into it to much?
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Nasonex may help to relieve the congestion, so take the spray. Anti-histamines like Benadryl may help, but sometimes they can make the secretions thick. You could take anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. Ensure to take these after meals to avoid gastritis. Also, do salt water gargles and steam inhalation before your meals as sometimes they can induce vomiting.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate it. I'm already done taking the antibiotics. I haven't taken the Nasonex lately. But there is still a little bit of ringing in my ear. I actually took some Mucinex and I did feel less pressure in my ear. I am thinking about also taking benadryl right now maybe that will give a chance for the fluid run out of my ear. I am going to see the ENT specialist tomorrow. What do you think I should you think I should take some bendryl before I go to sleep tonight?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can give me some feedback. Thank you
Im a 25 year old male by the way
Understand your predicament. There are tubes called ‘Eustachian tubes’ which connect the middle ear to the throat, this balances the air pressure in the ears. This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat, which can give lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears. This can also result in infection of the ears and tinnitus. Tinnitus should resolve once the infection subsides. So, continue with your medications. In addition, the blocked ears can be opened up by the valsalva maneuver, where air is blown into the cheeks against a closed nostrils, this sometimes helps to open up the tubes. Steam inhalations and warm salt water gargles can help clear the tube. Take Care
