Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2004some relief found
I have been suffering from sudden mild tinnitus for about 3 weeks now and, like most, have had good days and bad. My symptoms have changed somewhat over the past few days as originally there was just the ringing, now there seems to be varying levels of pressure in both ears from time to time and a fluid-like sensation that is temporarily relieved by gently pulling outward on my ears just above the lobes. That seems to relieve the pressure for awhile. Anyway, last night I used an electric massager (the large wand type) on my neck and lower skull area for several minutes. The improvement was dramatic as the ringing practically disappeared and the "clear" feeling in my ears was so refreshing! I applied the massage 2 or 3 times over a 3 hour period and each time the relief was significant. Of course, I was woken up at 2 AM by the ringing again but by gently massaging my neck for a few minutes I got enough relief that I could get back to sleep for awhile longer. I realize this is just temporary relief but, hey, it's better than nothing!

There are some antihistamines and decongestants that do a decent job of helping to dry it, too. I used to get eustachian tube fluid, with crackling and hissing relieved by pulling on my ear, too, before I got persistent T. If the fluid is due to allergies, it might be helpful to avoid chronic or seasonal fluid buildup with desensitization. Susan If you are getting relief by massaging the neck, you might get full relief by a physical therapist treatment and prescribed exercisis. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com I also recommend an esthetician (spelling?) who is a facial specialist........I had one myself last month and it was fabulous!!!!!!!!! Lots of massage on the jaw and head and face and it made me feel really good. Hope you all try one.

You have just proved that tinnitus can be helped by undoing muscle tension of the neck/shoulder muscles. http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml Tinnitus is a pain in the neck Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ http://meniere.eebee.net/ For email: elly at eebee.cjb.net >I have been suffering from sudden mild tinnitus for about 3 weeks now and, like >most, have had good days and bad.

Since your T is a new one, i would go for a hyperbaric oxygen therapy when the T is still new. You have nothing but money to lose. FP > Fred |
