Hi,

I'm 50 year old man with lound high pitch ringing in one ear after having it syringe unblocked at my local practice, never had problems before with tinnitus except my be a few hours after a concert like most people do. The tinnitus has been going on for 1 week now, been back to doctors and he has given me some antibiotics in case I have a infection also checked my ear and said both ears still have wax in, apart from one small area. Also been getting headaches as well. Can somebody tell me what normal recovery period is for this type of thing as my sleep has been really bad 1-2 hours a night.

The funny thing is that the ringing is now in the ear that wasn't blocked.

Thanks for your time.

      Do any of you use anything for sleeping or apps to get you off to sleep.

      No problem. Personally I've adjusted to it, but sometimes antihistamines are good for sleeping. Maybe some haulix before bed or put a fan on for white noise
