Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2006Wooshing Sound
Wasn't sure where to post this...but since I have T I figured i'd try here. This is weird. My right ear, whenever I press up right on the bottom of it and push up, I get this wooshing sound like air is being pushed up! Kind of like you're squeezing the air out of something. The thing that gets me is if i do the same thing to my left ear it doesn't to it at all ever! Also, I heard there is a homeopathic product called Tinitus that are mini pills that you put 3 under the tongue 3 times/day, and apparently for this person after 3 weeks was cured. Anyone have any similar success? They were only $7 > Wasn't sure where to post this...but since I have T I figured i'd try > here.

They were only $7 You may have fluid in your eustachian tube; I used to get squishy, crackly noises by pressing that way. No homeopathic products have ever been reported to work for T by non spamming posters in the years I've been reading here and elsewhere about T. Susan Thanks for your reply. So how do I get rid of this fluid? I just discovered this the other night when I tried "massaging" my ears to help reduce T. To my amazment it worked!!! I massage under the ear on the tender indent point...pulled my ears, massaged upper ears...everywhere, as well as my jaw (I do have impacted widom teeth on the bottom), and my T was reduced noticeably...maybe as much as 50%. I USED to get crackling when I raised my voice to yell but not anymore. I just have that squishy sound like you described by pressed on the right ear. I have T in both ears, but it's worse in my left ear. The homeopathic products was referred by an actual person who had theirs cured. I will take it for 3 weeks and post about it. I'm not optimistic about it either but for $7 I couldn't refuse. > Thanks for your reply. So how do I get rid of this fluid?

I used to do that, too, when fluid was bugging me. Your doctor should be able to see if you have a blocked tube with a tympanometer. What helped me was antibiotics if it was infected, with decongestant, like pseudoephedrine to dry it up. Perhaps along with an anthistamine if it's due to allergy; I use Zyrtec, but Tavist is very drying, too. > I USED to get crackling when I raised my voice to yell but not anymore. > I just have that squishy sound like you described by pressed on the > right ear.

Probably best to leave it alone, more you massage, the more its like rubbing your eyes too much. > It may not be fluid.

Murray, how should he proceed in having it evaluated? Susan Ok i'll stop touching it...I really have no need to anyway, I was just curious why this happens with my right ear and not left. Anyway, if I don't touch it everything is fine. It's just dealing with the T - mostly at night, but actually it doesn't really bother me all that much but i'm a curious person by nature, and believe there is a cure for this condition. BTW - has anyone ever had their tinnitus cured...I mean I have heard that after many years it sometimes just goes away on its own?? > Ok i'll stop touching it...I really have no need to anyway, I was just > curious why this happens with my right ear and not left.

Mine is back to negligible most of the time, and completely absent much of the time, if I keep salicylates and carbs low, and use antibiotics for the causative infection. Susan What is salicylates? I eat an extremely clean and healthy diet. I'm pretty sure it's noise induced (loud music)...but sometimes think it's from my impacted wisdom teeth because I did some tests that I found online....such as pulling chin, pressing forehead, etc. and it makes the T louder and change sound. Not sure if it means anything. > What is salicylates? It's found in foods, you can google up a chart on food salicylate content. Aspirin is a salicylate and is noteworthy for causing or worsening tinnitus, for example. > I eat an extremely clean and healthy diet. If it's a highly glycemic diet, it may be cranking your tinnitus higher. Higher insulinogenic diets are associated with higher levels of inflammation in the body.

Not sure if it means anything. I think all of us can change our tinnitus with some or all of those methods; they're not exactly diagnostic.

I don't think it makes sense to recommend that product or any other until he knows what he's got. I doubt the rubbing has caused his problem, in all probablity, he rubbed as a result of the ear discomfort. Susan Actually, there is no discomfort. I only started rubbing because I heard that massage might be good for the T. As I was rubbing I noticed that in my right ear when I pushed up there was a squishing sound but not in my left. Sooooo....I really have no "problem". Unless, this sound in my right ear (when I press on it) is a reason to worry or go see the ENT?? He'd probably just say, "well, don't do that then". Hahahaha... I received the Tinitus homeopathic pills today and started taking them...will keep you informed although i'm really expecting absolutely nothing. Just as I suspected, after taking these pills (the entire tube) there has been no success. At least they were cheap.

Remember that comes with a guarantee. It is guaranteed to work as well as any placebo. > What about Bora Bora root, picked by young maidens in the moonlight? > Remember that comes with a guarantee. > It is guaranteed to work as well as any placebo. Is that homeopathic? I thought it had enough of the original ingredient in the preparation to drive weaker men wild! ;-) Susan
