I had a very similar experience. I was already deaf in one ear when my symptoms began in my other ear. Every doctor I went to concocted some different story about what could be happening to me. None of it made any sense. No one was concerned. Then, I started losing my hearing but not...

I know what you are talking about... whatever anyone wants to call it. I had it when I first developed tinnitus but it went away. I thought it might be related to anxiety but it is so hard to know exactly what is related to what.

Alcohol and SSRIs can increase tinnitus as well.

If they were ototoxic, then the damage has been done. If they were just increasing your tinnitus, then it may go down soon and you may feel like you can hear better. You probably should have a hearing test just to see if there has been any significant changes in your hearing. Recently, a dr...

Not sure exactly, but I can tell you that my somatic issues make my tinnitus worse. Not sure which came first as all my problems seemed to develop at the same time.

I have the same sounds. They drive me insane. I have many many other louds but the low ones bother me the most. The low sounds seem to come on when I am stressed.

Maybe your tinnitus is a migraine aura.

The low frequency sound is just more tinnitus like your other tinnitus. I have it too. I know how horrible it is. Sometimes I don't have it but if I get stressed out it ramps itself up. Just try to stay calm and it will quiet down.

Yeah, that's not normal. Were those the middle frequencies? 3&4K?

Do you mean that there is a 25db difference in 2 frequencies between your 1st and 2nd tests? Or that your hearing went down to 25db in 2 frequencies on the second test?

They are aiming for all of the areas in which I am sore. The muscles on these areas are overly tense and are overstimulating nerves in these areas which are causing my migraines. It's specific to me. Part of my problem my nerves and muscles. The other is my ear. The block is just local.

There are cases where an infection or virus could affect both the middle and inner ear. In your case it seems that what hit you all at once was the tinnitus, not hearing loss. The hearing loss you have has probably been there for a while. If it had been something like an infection, your...

At the beginning of this, I would have had to answer no even though I think the answer was yes even when all of my hearing was in the normal range. Now I have only a 30 db drop at 250 Hz but it fluctuates. I think a period of a lot of anxiety coupled with probably some minor damage is what...

I don't have the slightest clue what is causing my loss and it's been over 18 months. I keep hearing different things. Most of my hearing is still barely holding in the normal range, so no one is too concerned...well except for me. My conductive hearing is fluctuating so that adds another...
