yeah it used be in my left ear only and would come and go but after the paxil reduction I had what sounded like a pack of firecrackers in my head when i woke up my whole head rings non stop it changes tones but the music it freaked me out and sometimes iys like a choir but it's over and over the same then if i listen to some music the last song will play with the ringing they done a brain scan wow nothing wrong with me so in may I go towalk my dog and realize I can't here any thing out of my r ear so the ent said u got fluid behind your ear hopefully it will clear up or i have to put a tube in while waiting for it to clear up my left ear goes deaf now im totaly deaf with all this ringing and music so i got tubes in both ears I can hear out of my right but my left has extreme hearing loss i think its related to that paxil somehow this is nuts

The Skeezyks also has tinnitus. A few years ago, I had an ear tube put in to drain an infection that, in fact, was never actually there (misdiagnosis.) The ear tube caused my tinnitus to explode! It sounded like I had a freight train running through my head 24/7!

I went in to see my pdoc sobbing (whom I hadn't needed to see in a while.) He put me on Klonopin & that brought the noise back down to a tolerable level. A while later I was able to get in to see an ENT doctor who specialized in treating tinnitus. He did something called a "perfusion", which involved injecting some medication into the ear. He was able to administer it through the ear tube. Afterward he removed the ear tube & the level of tinnitus I experience has remained at a manageable level since then. I was also able to get off of the Klonopin. But the whole thing was a frightening experience. I still don't know if it was the "perfusion" that saved me or if it was simply getting rid of the ear tube.

eyesclosed, That sounds miserable. Have you talked with a doctor about your problem?

Yes ENT, PCP, and The psych who cut my paxil in half the best part is it's not even in my records or on my problem list. This is where it gets goofy. The ent did a nasal endoscopy in 2013 after that i told him my front teeth were numb he said i have a pinched nerve.I went to him in may 2016 because i have thick yelow green discharge for the last year and a half he said i had nasal polyps needed surgery then I went deaf after the appt went back in my nasal polyps are gone how is that I gave u a antiobiotic no he never did and i was filed for ssd at the time when he put the tubes in he poked them right in no fluid just pressure this is what I have been telling them the last year after the paxil firecrackers I have a lot of what feels like pressure pain behind my eyes and in my head and now my ears but the interestingthing is the nerve that is pinched is called the trigemenial nerve and is a major nerve of the cranial nerves and a serotonin pathway and is the only synapse that has electrical exchange hm brain zaps firecrackers pinched nerve i was denied ssd u know why i know so much about this I have been holed up in the dark over a year Iciing my head and eyes with ice cubes and when i get relief i study about my symptoms because they didn't do nothing but a mri of my brain I asked for some memory testing and occupational testing never happened the sun will put me in pain. I have all new doctors in a new health system the ent said he wasnt going to touch my ear tubes and that the left is plugged with wax now i got another ent I see him wed I was able to get some of wax out by using baby oil on a q tip so the vertigo isnt as bad by the way my wife left and filed for divorce nothing like stomping me while I'm down. trigemenial nueropathy is the suicide disease every day 3 up to 5 times a day Ice cubing my head and eyes oh yeah I also broke out with shingles on my forehead i got a picture of it maybe i can figur out how to post it
