Dear sir, this is joshua, 21 years old, male. I would be glad and grateful if you could please provide a your opinion /action plan for my tinnitus. This is the summary of my tinnitus journey. I started developing tinnitus two weeks after septum deviation surgery. I am currently around 2.5 months with tinnitus. I have consulted audiologist and took a pure tone test audiogram and was told that my hearing is fine. I then visited dentist and had my impacted wisdom teeth removed and he also said that my wisdom teeth had affected my tmj slightly I had removed the wisdom teeth four weeks before. I have been taking the following supplements.- 1. Gingko biloba extract tablet- bilovas for a month. 2. Tinnicar for about two months I have tinnitus in both my ears my tinnitus sound is like an electrical buzz when the fan is off and when the fan is on I hear static sounds which increase with fan speed I hear tinnitus so loudly when I sleep on my side and especially the tinnitus is heard in that ear which I press to the floor. It's like a medium buzz in the night. Awaiting for your reply thanks and regards, joshua.

Dear lybrate-user, relax.it appears that your impacted wisdom tooth and your tmj problem are the real culprits behind your tinnitus story. Please consult a maxillo-facial specialist as soon as possible.

Hi lybrate-user. Did the audiologist also perform an impedance audiogram?. If not please get it done. Tmj disorder can cause tinnitus, ear pain and sensation of ear fullness. But since you have only developed these symptoms post nasal surgery. Get an impedance audiogram also done. Also use a saline nasal spray, steam inhalation and warm saline gargles for a few days. If it doesn't help talk to an ent specialist.
