I also switched to manual cleaning. I use to spike for a couple weeks with ultrasonic. Huge difference with manual cleaning. I've had 2 cavities filled and asked the dentist to do it a few seconds on and a few seconds off but also asked him to slow the rpms down. No spike.

I noticed a small but beneficial difference in my T taking a soloray B vitamin complex 50mg. I've experimented and noticed a difference between taking them and not taking them. I rate my t from 1 to 10. It fluctuates like a graph over the course of 4 days from low (4-5) to high (7-8) when not...

Be sure to get a MRI to rule out an acoustic neuroma. I also had a sudden hearing loss in my left ear and it slowly started coming back after 15 hours all distorted along with terrible tinnitus. It happened again (SHL) a year later though not quiet as bad but symptoms lasted a month , and that...

Hey @Starthrower , I see your one of the friendly faces here helping people down off the ledge.. I find reading as much as possible about the subject matter calms the worry usually , which in this case it did after reading it will be a watch and wait senario most likely. Stress can make things...

@Starthrower I'm educating myself so I'll b prepared when I go in. My first symptom was 16 months ago with a sudden hearing loss then very loud intrusive T when hearing came back next day. No facial numbness. Had more hearing dropouts this past may which got the ball rolling for an MRI. My T...

They wouldn't give me diagnosis till I had an MRI. ENT thought I had Meniere's. But the MRI has reveled a tumor behind my ear and touching the 8th cranial nerve. I go in for a consultation in two weeks. Not positive it's an acoustic neuroma yet till they tell me in 2 weeks, only informed...

Brenda Gander , I see you wrote viral infection as your cause. I seem to have cut my T in half by using Acyclovir 800 mg a day along with 6 lipo flavanoid a day , 400iu Vit E , 500mg Vit C , 1000iu Vit D. If you can't get access to acyclovir you can do L-lysine . Just saying what has recently...

Myrna , sounds very similar to meniere's. When my hearing drops down in volume it gets distorted with very little low end frequency. I use a radio and compare my ears by sticking a finger in one ear then the other. Other symptoms is sound sensitivity (hyperacusis) , mild dizziness or sometimes...

I've had a bad case of herpes for 35 years. 6 months before I had a sudden hearing loss in march 2017 I had a shingle show up on the left side of my face , same side as hearing loss . I doubled up on my acycolvir which got rid of the sore in a week but the nerves were sore for over a month...

Here's a Meniere's forum for tons of Info - http://menieres.org/talk/index.php I started here but was diagnosed with meniere's 2 days ago and have been sucking up information on the menere's forum. I had my initial attack in march 2017 with another in June that came with vertigo. Had 11 months...

Unfortunately I was diagnosed with meniere's today. The symptoms make sense now. I'm thankful I don't have it as bad as some people. It could always be worse is one of my motto's. One good thing that has come out of my last episode is my tinnitus pattern changed and I've been having more down...

My hyperacusis backed off but never completely went away. It's been very mild since it backed off and I am more than happy with that. My hyperacucsis has recently returned due to another moderate sudden hearing loss. I feel positive though that hyperacusis will back off as my ear gets better...

Mine slowly disappeared , took about 3 months.

I have found that digital reproduction really spikes my tinnitus. I find analog more soothing. This guy makes analog, true random, white and pink noise generators. I just bought one and waiting on it. You play it through powered speakers or stereo. If you have an EQ you could customize your...

Amazingly enough my T seems the same even though H has spiked. The first time with H my T was extreme. Audiologist says I have moderate hearing loss. I'm due to go back. I do listen to a sound machine at night. The rain noise sounds like white noise. I live on SS. TRT is out of my range. I...
