Got regular T a 6 years ago and most of the time its a non issue. But then 5 months ago i caught a cold. This resulted in PT and ear fullness I saw my GP in April and Feb both times there was fluid behind the eardrum. Then I saw an ENT today and there was no fluid according to him.

He advised a hearing test and a test they can do to check the condition of the middle ear.

So bow I have to live with PT and regular T. My Pt most days is constant level 2 can hear it and feel it in a quiet environment and is often a whoosh it can get loud.

I am distraught and need help and advice to cope.

Caught a cold back in December resulting in pulsing tinnitus. Back in April the GP said fluid in the ear and retracted eardrum. Saw a private ENT and he said your eardrums and sinus are fine.

Sending me for a CT. I have on/off tinnitus accompanied by ear fullness. Is this worth investigating. I already have regular T and I am worried I wont be able to cope as its permanent. I get bubbling and squelching.

My T does not stop when I press jugular vien. Is it worth going private for all the scans.

its improved slightly. still have fluid in the ear but cant get used to it still get upset and cry when i hear it. GP doesnt think that a referal was nec despite having fluid on month 4 after a cold.

Caught a cold end of dec then PT GP said in feb and april fluid and retracted eardrums.

only 20% improvement No ent referral was made. I am sure the fluid is still therr a month after my GP app.

Please tell me the sounds gets less fequent, less intense and less annoying as I dont see this going awaye

Caught a cold 5 months ago the GP said in April and Feb retracted eardrum with fluid. It has only gotten better at 30%.

I have ear fullness my PT is on/off. I get w whoosing that is whooshing for a couple seconds stops and then starts again. Is this normal.

I don't know how I am going to live with this PT. Its far worse than regular T because the sound is inconsistent and not a pure tone. It's horrible I cry.

Will tinnitus retraining therapy help me?

5 months ago I caught a cold and developed PT it was due to fluid behind the eardrums and retracted eardrum as the GP said in feb and april. It went quiet for a few weeks and imporved massively. Now I had a PT episode today so far lasting 2 hours max and now one started at 7pm and is not stopping. I am so sad and feeling distraught I get ear fullness and heaviness. The whoosing is not as bad as it was in the beginning but how will I live with PT and regular T. My right PT ear feels heavy, and slightly full.

Anyone else living with PT and T I dont see this getting better because I also suspect I have ETD as for 6 years when the T started so did the crackling and clicking.

6 years after I blocker my ear with oil I developed T and then was able to make my right ear click and its crackles with every swallow.

I have noticed when I drive on the motorway my the clicking stops and I think the T stops too but i cant notice the T when outside so I dont know.

Now I think its due to preassure I assume nothing can he done though and this is my life.

Also when I got T and saw the ENT it wasn't ETD apparently.

5 months ago i caught a cold and there was fluid behind my retracted eardrums. Saw the GP again in april and its still there so this must be ETd.

I have some pressure issues when I use otovent the preassure realse is not the same in both ears left doesn't get the same response and thats the ear T is worse in.

Has anyone else manage to fix this issue. I have tried fluxonise, otovent nothing works.

I developed T 6 years ago when My ear canal blocked with fluid. After that i developed popping crackling and can make my right ear click where the fluid was.

6 years on T stabilised for most part but i was left with crackling at every swallow and can make my right ear click.

During this period i saw 2 ents one checked the outer ET and said its not ETD.

What I have noticed is the left side when doing the valsulvar movement and when using otovent the left ear does not respond like the right ear and the left ear T is louder.

I also caught a cold nearly 5 months ago and developed PT which has improved I went to the GP in Aprl and Feb and both occasions there was fluid behind the retracted ear drums.

My T has now started to fluctuate again and if i am driving on the motorway the crackling stops.

My theories are unequal pressure in the ears causing these symptoms which grommets may help.

Or the slight deviated septum may be also contributing to these issues because O find it harder to breath out of my left nose and the T is louder.

Is this worth investigating and do you with ETD have T that is fluctuating.

Floxanse doesnt work, otovent use to work to reduce tge tinnitus but no longer works as well as it use to do. I have never had the preassure in my ears checked.

How did tinnitus retraining therapy help you. Did it also lower your tinnitus and stop fluctuations. I am currently struggling with this new sounds in the head and considering.

I am not new to T I developed it 6 years ago after my ear canal was blocked with fluid. First years were hell multiple tones, fluctuations etc and I got like 2/3 good years where the noise was soft.

At the end of December i developed a cold and got pulsing tinnitus too which has improved noticly during the times where my PT was worse T was less. Saw the GP in feb and April and had fluid in the ears and ear drums were retracted.

This new noise is fluctuating, head T, nosier, buzzier and harder to get used to. I have noticed the left side I am unable to fill that with air when doing the valsualr movement and the tinnitus is worse. I am very sad and worried now. Its like 10 steps forwrd and 20 back.

I am not masking as I want to get used to it. what helps you to adapt to high frequency, buzzy, noisier head T.

I would like to buy a tinniuas masker one that looks like a hearing aid but only plays white noise. My T has become unstable, head T buzzier, noisier and is getting me down. I don't want one where you have to connect to phone. I am hoping its just due to fluid in the ear as diagnosed by the GP I have had the fluid for 4 months now and the last few months my T has changed. I hate head T my T is fluctuating again like how it was in the beginning 6 years ago.
