Experiences with

Ear conditions

For me, It all started with a little tickle in my left ear little more than a year ago, almost like there was a little bug in there, moving around. That progressed to a feeling of fullness and then the tinnitus and hearing loss slowly started progressing on my left.

However, as a result of a very noisy MRI scan and poor ear defenders, my T has gotten far worse and think my hearing has become more damage.

I have been prescribed 5mg of Longtec in the morning and 10 mg at night. I have just come out of hospital after having had ischemic colitis which looks like it was caused by the Longtec. Is there anything else I can take for RLS. I’ve been down the Pramipexole, gabapentin route but they didn’t help the

I have had tinnitus in left ear and tightness around right ear for 2 1/2 years. It started after a significant health issue so i know i was stressed. I was referred to ENT who after an MRI checking for ear tumours discharged me.

I developed tinnitus about 3 months ago. ( diagnosed by my gp ) Recently had ear wax removed. ( about 90 percent full in both ears. 1 week on no reduction in volumn or sound ( hissing and ringing in both ears) Has anyone been through the same issue.

i have friends who are asking my husband if he has tried Ivermectin for his PD. His symptoms have escalated in last 2 years . We have used C/L for years add Rytary , Azilect, Amantidine etc now Crexont and not sure he isnt allergic! We dont qualify for Vyaleve pump because of a stupid look hole so here

I have been on parnate, an MAOI, for the past 24 years for depression and it has worked great for me. 2 years ago, my cardiologist put me on bisoprolol, a beta blocker, for an erratic BP. Shortly after, I started to get low grade anxiety which only intensified as time went on. The dr weaned me off, but

Hi I was diagnosed with PMR in November last year and find this group very helpful and reassuring to know you are out there. Everything has gone relatively smoothly without major problems. I started on 15mg and apart from a wobble over Christmas, I have been managing ok and tapering gradually. I’ve

It began with an echo in my right ear and incidents where my hearing would be blocked out momentarily with a loud ringing. Watching TV I noticed voices were distorted, tonally different to each ear and much quieter in my right ear.

It is too fast like I feel some blood vessels hitting each other much inside of the head and not just inside ear . Is this still considered pulsatile Tinnitus ? I am going to consult GP but ENT or neuro?

My tinnitus started 3 months ago on one side only after an ear infection. I usually take piriton now for hayfever. Obviously I know a lot of tablets are ototoxic. Do any of you take antihistamines? If so which ones? Do you find it affects your tinnitus?

My first post since joining this amazing forum, which I read daily as I can usually get my questions answered but feel I need advice please this time. I’m currently on 5.5 mg . Last 9 days I have had cold which I am consistently coughing and chesty, my ears are really buzzing with major hearing loss

Lovely to meet you all. Just finished my Zopiclone pills from GP for early stage tinnitus. Very good but other aids e.g. Night Nurse not so helpful. Any recommendations for over the counter options that have really helped your night's sleep? Cheers

So I've been struggling with pulsatile tinnitus 24/7 for the past 6 months which was put down to Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. I had the usual CT and MRI scans but they were on an 'open' scanner and I was told the quality is not as good as a 3T 'closed' MRI scanner. So I've just been through 3 scans on

I am waiting to see ENT as my GP feels it’s to do it my inner ear. This is because my symptoms started after an ear infection and I cannot equalise that ear (where I have the PT) - when I try then air just comes out my eye on that side!

I have had white noise tinnitus for a good 5-6 years and a bi-cros hearing aid for about 4 years, as I have severe hearing loss in one ear. Unfortunately my good ear went weird on me - I actually thought my hearing aids were faulty - to find it was actually my own hearing when I removed them.

The audiologist in the States who posts on this you tube channel offers lots of videos with suggestions for for help with habituation. There are loads of case studies. He provides recordings of masking sounds too. That's all free. But he also offers an initial teleconsultatiin with one of the team and

hi I have had a “blocked ear” now for nearly 4 months… I went to the doctors expecting it to be some ear wax blockage or something simple like that. GP had a look in my ear, said it all looked clear but thinks there could be some fluid build up in my middle ear.

When I eat and drink my tinnitus seems to get worse and I get ear pain. I have reactive tinnitus and my ears feel blocked. I’ve been clenching my teeth a lot as my tinnitus is so loud. Just wondering if it’s TmJ issue or blocked ET 🤔
