Having had help for hiatus hernia and atrial fibrillation from these pages I now have another condition to deal with - I can’t believe that this is all happening to me this year.
Ttwo weks ago my right ear became completely blocked so that I couldn’t hear anything in it. My doctor said that the wax was solid and told me to use Otex until I came back from holiday and he would syringe it. The Otex gave me ringing in that ear . My ear has now been syringed (it was still completely blocked) but the ringing persists only much quieter. Although he said it must be tinnitus I think there is still some wax deep down in the ear but he says it is all out. Why did the tinnitus come on by using Otex? I would like to try alternative remedies but as I am on Warfarin and beta blockers there is not much I can have.
Any ideas, please, as the ringing is driving me mad.

I am 16 and developed tinnitus in both of my ears after having a painful double ear infection several years ago. The confusing part of my tinnitus is that I actually hear better than most people and I got close to perfect results after having a hearing test. What could be causing it? I am sure it is not anything deadly as I have had it for several years and it has not gotten worse at all, but what can I do to maybe make the ringing less severe? The only time I really notice it is while I am in bed and everything is completly quiet.

And what exactly happens in you’re ear when u get tinnitus what goes wrong ?

my tinnitus was caused by loud noise one year back…i can not hear the sound except when i close my ears with my hands or during sleeping. can the sound increase without any reason?or will it remain same if i take proper precautions in not going to any noisy place again?

She had her operation six months ago and she’s still hearing buzzing/ringing noises in her ear every other day.

The surgery was to fix a ruptured eardrum in her right ear. It was successful at first but then a couple of months later, there was a small hole in the drum again.

She’s otherwise healthy; she eats right and exercises regularly.

I just want to know if this is normal

The ringing or background noise in my ear has been going on for weeks.
Think it was caused by an ear infection. The sound is not too loud as i can only hear it in quiet environment. It sounds like an empty tape recorder being played, would this be tinnitus. I haven’t been to the doctors yet but just wanna know if this is tinnitus or not? And if so, will it be able to go away?

They say it may take 4 months to work so I’d like to know if anyone used it for this long and if it worked and if your tinnitus is gone for good.

I have tinnitus, which we all know is a ringing in the ears. I need to stop ear ringing, because it is really starting to bother me. So, what is the best way that I can naturally cure the ringing in my ears? The faster I can stop ear ringing, the better!

I woke up with a sharp pain in my left ear, i went to the doctor that very morning. The doctor told me that it was an ear infection and gave me some ear drops and antibiotics. My brother helped me dropped the ear drops, and i ate my medicine. I slept for awhile and realised that my ear didn’t hurt anymore. However, it still felt slightly blocked, i went on with my daily activities. The next day, i started hearing buzzing sounds in my ear. Will tinnitus go away when my infection cures?

I have severe tinnitus in my left ear and have yet to find anything which will relieve it. I have extreme difficulty in sleeping at night.
