It there any solution for constant tinnitis?

I have high pitched tones constantly though I have learned to ignore it mostly.

It can become louder at times, even loud enough to make me wince!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

Has anyone with tinnitus noticed a change in their tinnitus after receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine?

Yes only very minor tinnitus prior to vaccine and now very loud pulsating tinnitus which changes in volume through the day. I am grateful when it subsides to low hissing. Started approximately 9 days after the vaccine. On second course of steroids and just found out today adding Sudafed really reduces the noise. Doing research, I think for me it’s a Eustachian tube issue as my ears and lower neck hurt at times. When my ears pop gets better. Going on 5 weeks of this. Have appt Mayo Arizona late May 2021. Had hearing test at local ENT office no hearing loss so far. Any recommendations until I can be seen? I am also allergy sufferer so having that checked at Mayo as well. Found a Facebook group with over 1400 people with same experience.

I have two different tones that come mainly at night. One sounds like a marching band. The other sounds like a men’s chorus of undefinable songs sung in very low voices. I’m going deaf so that’s why I started hearing these noises. Any insights from anyone.

https://hearinghealthfoundation.org/ The current issue of the magazine published by The Hearing Health Foundation, a research organization, focuses on tinnitus and hyperacusis. It's encouraging to know that more research is being done on these two health issues.

Have u seen qualified audiologist? They do have hearing aids w tinnitus relief. I think Bose has some ear phones w similar. It’s a brain thing not ear thing. I’ve had it for 35 years. Plus hearing loss each year. It’s no fun. Biofeedback training can help also.

I probably have a mild case of tinnitus - but, I just drink distilled water, it goes away. Also, I know if I eat salty food I'll get tinnitus.

I sympathize with you and know what you are talking about. have the exact same sounds that you have.The men’s chorus, of un identified songs sung by low voices. I also have music that is like a musical phrase of several notes in constant repetition, birdsong, an engine in operation, plane type noise. I have also lost some hearing and can’t understand words spoken on the radio or the tv without my hearing aids connected to a device which is connected to the tv. In short a cornucopia of sound.

Drinking water is healthy. So is staying hydrated. Not sure either have a direct relation to reducing tinnitus. However, salt, or sodium as it is commonly known as on food package labels, is a good idea. Salt is related to a higher blood pressure level which can affect the blood flow to your ears and may aggravate tinnitus.

Has anyone had success taking a taurine supplement for there tinnitus? I was taking soy isoflavones and I had great success taking the supplement. But unfortunately I had ER positive breast cancer 12 years ago and I was told by my oncologist that I should stay away from estrogen type supplements. But it helped quite my tinnitus so well that some days I would have no ringing for part of the day. I have stopped taking the soy isoflavones supplement for 7 days and the ringing is back real loud. I have been taking 3000 mg of taurine for a few days and it doesn't seem to help. I will give it time, but would like to know how long it may take before some relief might start. I am heartbroken that I can not take the soy isoflavones because as I understand, it might bring my cancer back. If someone knows different please refer me to the information/study that says I my take the soy isoflavones. To all the other tinnitus sufferers I used the soy isoflavones 750 mg 3 times a day. Them cut back to 2 times a day. I got really good relief from the tinnitus. Then I was maintaining very low ringing sound with 60 mg twice a day.
