Does anyone have Tinnitus? Has it ever gone away? Or diminished?!
Question: Does anyone have Tinnitus? Has it ever gone away? Or diminished?
When I press my thumbs over my ears I can hear ringing in my right ear, and when I press/cover my thumb over the right ear and press the ringing get's higher pitched?
I have stress, slight case of TMJ, and shot a loud rifle 6 months ago, and the tinnitus showed up about 2 months ago.
Went to the ENT, and everything including hearing is OK and fine.
Why tinnitus then? and why does it get higher pitched when i cover my ear and press?
Will the tinnitus go away or diminish over time? Or will my brain adjust to it so it's not noticeable?
ENT said the hairs in my ear show no damage? and no hearing loss....im baffled

Answers:
First of all it could be from a number of things, from a loud noise that's consistent. A tumor in the inner ear that would require a CAT scan to see. High blood pressure. Water in the inner ear or an inner ear infection. This would all require tests from an ear, nose and throat doctor and also MRI or CAT scans along with other tests. Most people live with this noise, I do, because of th expense involved to fix it. And, the tests of course.
