New To Tinnitus - Advice & Tips please

I'm very new to T. My Tinnitus only recently started and is a hiss…. Sometimes louder than others.

I have had all the medical checks with a top ENT surgeon. My company has medical insurance which was very helpful.

The ENT surgeon prescribed one puff of Nasonex (50 Micrograms) in each nostril morning and evening for 3-months.

I’m currently under a lot of pressure / stress at the moment (in the process of selling our family business of 50-years) and I read stress / worry can and does cause Tinnitus, and that it can pass / stop.

Not sure how relevant but my ears are blocked (clear of wax though) like when on an aeroplane and I can’t clear them. I have tried squeezing my nose and blowing but I’m scared to blow too hard. Any ideas. Ears are pretty well clear of wax..

My ears have been blocked for a few weeks now and since about when the tinnitus stared.

Any tips / advise would greatly appreciated. Sorry a bit long...

Regards, Andy

there’s a helpful video on how to clear your ears, I hope someone on this forum should be able to point it out to you, it was shown here a few weeks ago.

Hi! I’ve had T for over 16 years.

I have almost the same symptoms as you have.

I ‘ve used Nasonex for allergy. I think there is a connection between allergy( in the spring months, especially) and T.

Good health!

So does your T get worse in the spring and then quieten down a bit in the summer?
