Tinnitus for 3 weeks- afraid to try Flonase
Hey all,
About 3 weeks ago I woke up with ringing in my left ear that won’t go away. Started freaking out and have been stuck on this sub almost every day, which I know doesn’t help but I’ve been desperate.
I’ve been to two ents and an audiologist, they found no hearing loss and pressure in my ears seems normal. Second ent prescribed fluticasone in case of ETD ( have also had fluttering in the ear and random occasional pains. My nose also consistently seems some level of stuffed) but I am terrified of taking it and making the tinnitus worse.
Have any of you here taken it and had ok results (or at least no worsening of your tinnitus?). I really want to try it but am very afraid.
Some other notes about my T:
-definitely have bruxism, not sure about Tmj, but should probably have a mouth guard
- I work in the water for a living, and before this started had no issues but recently noticed the T will migrate to both ears/brain underwater and change tone. The ringing will stay louder for a period when I get out. The past few days this has randomly been happening out of the water too
-had a gnarly ear infection in left ear about a decade ago
-remember a loud concert that hurt my left ear about the same time, but no tinnitus then
-currently undergoing rabies prophylaxis, but issues started before
-probably have ocd/anxiety I need to deal with 🤪
Thanks for reading
