Hi I had micro suction done on my ears in sept of this year and have got tinnitus from it ,a high pitched tone in one and a million crickets in the other ,haven’t slept for seems like ages I was wondering if this is permanent or will maybe go in time .i have a ENT appointment on nov 2nd ,I have suffered from anxiety in the past so you can imagine how I’m feeling now .i can’t believe I have this from having earwax removed to be fair

Hi, did you get tinnitus straight after getting the ear wax out?

[Outfoxed48 in reply to Michael8272]

Hi I had a blocked ear for 11 days so was putting olive oil in to loosen the wax then had it micro suctioned then the tinnitus came on about an hour later in one ear and then I could sense it in the other the next day

Hi, I think I got mine from ear wax, I had a light buzz in the ear a week or so before I got ear wax removed, doctor said I had alot of impacted wax and it should settle once wax is removed, a year and a half down the line and it's gotten worse.its really hard to tell if them wax has caused it or not.hopefully yours will settle.

Hi I hope so I have always had problems with ear wax and have had them syringed many times over the years but this was first time I had them micro suctioned and it was loud in my ear I just hope like you said that it might settle but still here

Hi ,, I had the same thing done three years ago, didn’t work ,,,I then had a grommet put in my ear ... I woke up with tinnitus. Try to keep as calm as possible which does help. Unfortunately my tinnitus didn’t go, I now wear a cochlear implant. All the best ! It may disappear .
