Hello. I have had tinnitus since the age of three due to meningitis. It's always been at a certain level and tone. But after all these years so much has changed. I am now experiencing what I think is sound sensitivity as most sounds are spiking my tinnitus but as soon as the sound stops the...

...how it's so strange that I have T when usually there's a known cause. He happened to mention "viral infection" and I said, you mean like meningitis? Know they're convinced that I suffered nerve damage when I had meningitis over 10 years ago but it took a while for the hearing loss and T to...

...left eye. Rushed back to the hospital and they did a MRI scan. MRI showed swelling of the brain with blood in my skull. I was told I have meningitis. I was then put on steroids and had to get a PICC line put in my arm to give me antibiotics. After a week I was able to go home and was...

Hi I got Tinnitus the same week I was diagnosed with meningitis so they assumed that’s what caused it but I was also taking antibiotics and had an MRI and lumbar puncture all of which can possibly cause Tinnitus. Prior to the meningitis I never had issues with my ears

...an MRI and I’m not leaking spinal fluid which I thought may be causing my tinnitus my Dr seems to think it’s a lingering symptom of the meningitis but I have googled and can’t find any literature on this (only bacterial meningitis) but I did find ppl have suffered depression after viral...

Also got Tinnitus after being treated with antibiotics for meningitis. Noticed you said it went away in four months. I am looking forward to that! Any insight on how to manage in the meantime would be greatly appreciated!

I'd like to see them make an attempt with someone who has had acoustic trauma versus someone who had meningitis.

Neuralink hit with more allegations. This time pertaining to contaminated implants. U.S. investigating Elon Musk's Neuralink over hazardous pathogens Department of Transportation is now investigating the matter. Here’s a link to the letter of request by PCRM sent to the DOT. Notable part in...

Hey Nick, I got the gift after being treated with antibiotics for meningitis. After 4 months it completely disappeared. Hoping the same for you.

Also got Tinnitus after being treated with antibiotics for meningitis. Noticed you said it went away in four months. I am looking forward to that!

Perhaps you developed hearing loss from the assumed (or confirmed?) Meningitis. Meningitis can cause hearing loss - or possibly the medication used to treat it can. An audiogram is probably a good place to start for anyone who had a case of Meningitis. Patient history is often the best resource...

Not really related but ... one of the symptoms of meningitis is limited tolerability to loud sounds... Any connection to hyperacusis maybe...? Did you have any hyperacusis back then?

Sorry to hear you had to go thru meningitis as a 10 days old baby, life is very cruel. You could try Gingko Biloba at 120 mg dosage a day, NAC 600 mg a day and maybe Lithium Orotate 5 mg a day to see if you could see some improvement. Take them at least a month.

...ready any posts like that. But you might find something if you scan the search results https://www.tinnitustalk.com/search/2155571/?q=meningitis&o=relevance Ear fullness is a sign of something not being right with your ear (it doesn't have to have anything to do with ETs/sinuses). Were...

There is a good chance that once the underlying cause (i.e., a sinus infection or meningitis, etc.) is gone, your T will begin fading.

Significant adverse reactions to vaccines are extremely rare. Significant adverse reactions to measles or meningitis are par for the course. Why would you need to take antibiotics as a result of vaccination? That doesn't make much sense to me; (live) vaccines use viral material, not bacteria...

Was 2 when infected with Spinal Meningitis. Always scared me as a kid with this strange whistling in the night when the hearing aids came off for bed. Had gotten used to it until an accident cause a severe spike that tapered off to baseline over a year.

...been taking Tumeric capsules with curcumin daily and I’ve noticed a lowering of T I’ve assumed mine is caused by inflammation since I had meningitis in December. I will be introducing ginger root into my regimen next week, I like to start with one thing at a time in case there is an adverse...

Christmas Eve in, 03. Very, very sick w/an earache of all ear soarnesses. And then there it came the loudest pop ever! Had to go to the hospital because blood was coming out of nose, rt. ear, and mouth. I made it there before Meningitis kicked in. Thank the Lord that didn't happen.

...this young girl, she is currently 22 or 23. She was very sick starting around the age of 12. Many health conditions from almost dying from meningitis to losing total hearing in one ear from Meniere's disease. Long story short, Lyme disease was the driving factor of all of these things, so...

2 years old, spinal meningitis took away most of my hearing with the loud ringing that my parents couldn't understand. While habituated, there will be a faint ringing when something turns off which drives me nuts. Had a bad spike from a faulty soundboard a year ago which didn't lower the...

I can't really recall to be honest. I had a not-quite 2-year-old and was 6 months pregnant. To be honest it was all a blur. I will say that in general (before the tinnitus and hearing loss) I was sensitive to loud noises. Not sure if that was only after the meningitis or if it was there all along.

@Thericker hi I too developed tinnitus during viral meningitis I first blamed the lumbar puncture but now believe it’s from the meningitis I was diagnosed on 12/8/2017 and tinnitus started 12/15 and has been 24/7 high pitched tone since I have been considering acupuncture and see it may have...

...However, @Zimichael has twice been in contact with one of the folks from GenVec Inc and this person agreed with us how a patient with meningitis would not be considered the ideal candidate for a treatment such as CGF166. Meningitis causes not only cochlear but auditory nerve damage as well...

...if you had ever heard of it having an effect on tinnitus? Heard a few people say theirs spiked for a few days but went down to base level. Had meningitis jab recently which even though I had a bad reaction to (I was sick for days) actually had no effect on my tinnitus. Hoping this will be the...

...hair cells in the cochlea are damaged. In some cases the hearing organ, the cochlea, is destroyed. Either from ear infection or bacterial meningitis . Or some kind of trauma. You are not alone. Tinnitus is from hair cells damage. The cochlea when not functioning properly, we hear the sound...

@Frédéric -- Here's a snippet from your linked article: It is well known that viruses such as measles, mumps and meningitis can cause hearing loss. Also, auditory neuropathy has been linked with Guillain-Barré syndrome, the latter having a known association with coronavirus (Sedaghat and Karimi...

Thank for your update and info. But what do you mean by: However, certain decisions were made for "political reasons" by Novartis apparently. ??? Greets Tom

@Bill Bauer yes but only my right ear is bothering me

I had spinal meningitis and a fever of 105 which put me in a coma for 5 weeks. When I woke in the hospital I was confused and scared but I also had a constant ringing in my ears. That was almost 30 years ago. My doctors said it was tinnitus and there was no cure. The sound is a constant...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to briefly introduce myself. I lost my hearing at age 2 from spinal meningitis. Shortly after the meningitis I regained some hearing in my left and right ears. I used a hearing aide in my right ear and did very well with it (had about 20% hearing without the...

...as his career took off. One weekend he attended a house party of friends, and kissed the hostess a greeting. She died of spinal meningitis a couple of days later, and he a few days after. Our health is so fragile. He was a master of nocturnal skies, and kept the secret to himself. His...

...encephalitis and hearing loss, standard therapy for HSV1 encephalitis (10–15 mg/kg acyclovir TID) should be performed; in the setting of meningitis and hearing loss, therapy for HSV1 meningitis may be adequate (5–10 mg/kg acyclovir TID or valacyclovir 1,000 mg TID; Studahl et al., 2013)...

I'm going to University very soon, and have been offered the Meningitis W vaccine, and I've also realised I've never had the MMR vaccine. I really do want both these jabs, but I'm a little worried that it could make my tinnitus worse. I've heard some people have got quite ill from them, had to...

@Marlene, I'm so sorry that you've had so many problems since the virus and then the infection! It sounds like the meningitis might have been what set off your tinnitus, and maybe your dizziness as well. Has the doctor given you any sort of prognosis, or what to expect going forward? I...

...powered boat. It comes and goes and drives me crazy. At present it is gone. Does anyone have this happen? Will a hearing aid sound masker do any good in this case? It is only in my right ear which has a profound loss as a result of meningitis at the age of two. The left ear is completely deaf.

Vaccines of any kind don't ramp up tinnitus forever... temporary spike maybe sometimes...... you're safe to go

...to help us live with this condition. Like everyone here, I am aware exactly when my tinnitus started. After recovering from bacterial meningitis three and a half years ago, among other things, I developed unilateral hearing loss, (to around 50 dB from 250 to 4 KHz, then down to 90 db at 8...

Older post, but are you still using tumeric?

I had Meningitis as a baby and as a result, I have had hearing loss and T since I can remember. I also have Meniere's and one of the last stages for me (my episodes last about 3 or 4 months)is an increased loudness, different pitch and sometimes pulsating T. Other than when I have these...

Hi I have lived with T for about 22 years-penicillin injection when I had meningitis. I have managed to cope with lots of exercise and eating like a rabbit. Lately it has become worse as I have got older. Lost my job and am not sure of applying for a new one, since one cannot walk into a company...

...with me as this will be long but want to be as thorough as possible to obtain accurate opinions. For me this all started with a bout of meningitis in December 2009. Or at least what they thought was meningitis as the doctors were unsure. While waiting for the infectious disease doctor...

...so explain how this for one second is considered normal.Lots of people experience H and sensitivity to light when they are diagnosed with meningitis and these are considered symptoms of something wrong obviously the meningitis is to blame but once this is resolved these symptoms disappear as...

...for my brains limbic response, (stress response?) to my tinnitus. I had sudden onset very loud tinnitus, (74 dB) after pneumococcal meningitis 3 and a half years ago, then a shift in loudness (76dB) after a second bought of pneumococcal meningitis just over 6 month ago. After each episode of...

...not be a placebo, will keep everyone posted. I plan on introducing Ginger Root pills into my diet next week... As I believe my tinnitus is a result of some type of inflammation that is going on in my body since I had Meningitis when it started so I am working towards all things anti...

...blew me. (-23 °). At night, I felt a small fever. In the morning, the nose began to puff up and the neck fell ill. What do you advise? I took vitamin C, I also have an immunomodulator based on human interferon alfa-2b. Yes, we in Russia, sell this freely. I'm afraid of otitis or meningitis.

I would definitely see a doctor about the numbness. That’s not normal with just tinnitus. And it would help to get your hearing checked. I also have tinnitus (new to me in the past 3 weeks) that spikes with sounds then automatically stops when the sound ceases. I believe it’s a form of...

...just need to tell that yesterday I went out on a date. Turns out, one of the first things she told me as she sat to my left was "I had meningitis some 10 years ago, lost hearing on one ear." I then told her my story, turns out she also has T. Hers is not 24/7 like mine, she said she only...

I have made a decision: my T will not beat me. I am stronger than this. I have survived worse - I had meningitis when I was a baby and have beaten that; I will do the same with T. I know there are some bad days ahead, but that's the same with life. I am going to reach the other side. There...

Hi my name is Shani, i recently developed tinnitus after being discharged from hospital with meningococcal meningitis which was life threatening. Luckily I have got past the worst but now have severe tinnitus in my ears which changes in pitch and at times i feel as though I am going deaf. Being...

Interesting as I have a post already on this matter. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/turmeric-compound-boosts-regeneration-of-brain-stem-cells.18930/

...vibrate my head and seem to spike it even higher, I haven’t been exposed to any loud sounds but I’ve been exposed to medicine, viral meningitis, ct scans/mri, spinal tap, my T started right after I stopped amoxicillin/Ibuprofen because I was told I had a sinus infection (which an ENT said I...

...mind as a "call 911 immediately" symptom but I think that's brainwashing from college where they were (understandably) real worried about meningitis. If this has been going on for a while and you're not dead, it's not that, whew. @JohnAdams there appears to be some connection between pupil...

I have had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. I have never had silence. I believe it was caused by Meningitis which I contracted as a 10 day old baby. It caused a few problems, teeth and hearing, so it's not a leap to think it also caused my tinnitus. For a while all I heard were...

...I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, it's just a part of me, something I don't think I'll ever be free of. I have had HIB meningitis when I was 2 years old, which resulted in my severe-profound hearing loss, and I'm fairly certain that is what caused the tinnitus too. My left...

...option and maybe the only option as far as curing tinnitus. Once hair cells are damaged or dead it maybe impossible to cure tinnitus because of the reduced input to our auditory system. Other causes of tinnitus may include: MS, Meniere's, TMJ, Otosclerosis, Depression, meningitis and some...

There is a bit of literature on complications from a spinal tap in relation to tinnitus: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9033682 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4894243 It is worth looking into as this is one of the cases of tinnitus that actually can be "fixed".

Hi Dginobile, First of all, I am sorry for your suffering. I didn't quite understand the last phrase of your post. Can you elaborate on that? Thank you.

...So along with tinnitus which for the most part I’ve habituated to, I've had a plethora of other health issues since Dec of last year. Meningitis, Gallbladder Disease which I was told would need to be removed if my attacks persist, a thyroid nodule that was found in Jan of 2017 which is now...
