I've had tinnitus my whole life. I'm now 47/F. Only in the past few years has it become a big problem. Long story short, Meningitis as a baby, hearing loss in both ears, more in right, but tinnitus always present in the left(low pitched and mostly unnoticed). After vertigo and ringing episodes...

...w T I have avoided everything that could be a possible cause. I suspect my original T was due to antibiotics I was given for bacterial meningitis as it started shortly after I was released from the hospital. Since I believe it was drug-induced would it be OK for me to go on ibuprofen for a...

...opinion on my thyroid, and I will look into the taurine, I’m always scared to take anything new because of the tinnitus. I don’t think my thyroid caused my tinnitus because it came on in the same week I had meningitis, a spinal tap, antibiotics and stress all of which are known to cause tinnitus.

Oh, so sorry you are struggling right now. Have you tried Melatonin to help you sleep? Are you masking? Try to calm down, the anxiety makes tinnitus so much worst. Once

...may have spread to various places that could include the facial nerve, numerous veins and muscles. It doesn't appear thru all of this that meningitis or other more serious conditions has NOT developed. I would consider discussing IV antibiotic therapy with a confident doctor. Antibiotics for...

I had meningitis as a baby and as a result, I have had hearing loss and tinnitus all my life. At around 19, the gift of Meniere's Disease was bestowed upon me. (Extreme sarcasm) I am 43 now and I have had 3 major Meniere's attacks. When I was younger, I was not treated and it eventually cleared...

We discussed his case within the hidden Team Trobalt forum here on TinnitusTalk. I mentioned that someone with Meningitis (as a cause of hearing loss) would not represent a good candidate for a case study such as this. Another member of Team Trobalt, @Zimichael followed up with GenVec about that...

Mine began after a head virus,there not sure wether it was Meningitis or the Shingles virus,virus took 4 months to go,and loosing over 4 stone in weight in that period,then felt like deafness,but I could hear okay,then the hissing began,weird the deafness bit.My husband said think now you've got...

You must have caught your cold from something else, exposure to cold weather can't actually get you get sick, keep in mind the incubation period for cold viruses is usually 48-72 hours. Zinc, ginger root extract, black seed oil, glutamine, and turkey tail is the new combination I've been using...

...cochleas completely (not even close). But then again, remember that: The four year old boy had had practically destroyed hearing (from Meningitis). This would include the auditory nerve also. The 19 year old patient had had hearing loss for almost two decades before attempting hearing...

...had perfect hearing up to that point and can only think that the anaesthetic has caused a reaction in my inner ear. The specialist thought it could have been a mini stroke or meningitis attack on my ear drum. Has anyone else experienced something similar and managed to find a cure? Cheers Vic

Thinking of getting the turmeric and curcumin in powder form and putting it on salmon that I eat twice a week. Hopefully in helps my tinnitus or the mild rosacea I just got. FML

...high pitched tea kettle like sound in my brain and it has not stopped or gotten better and it scares me, I was diagnosed with Viral Meningitis on 12/8, about 5 days after the spinal tap is when it started I got a blood patch in case it was from a CSF leak but they did nothing! I’m not sure...

Hello, so far I've been lucky in my 36 years of being severely deaf from spinal meningitis and only suffered a slight ringing when the aids come off. I've never go to loud shows like stadiums or concerts due to inability to hear anything but do go to a mid impact airshow with plenty of rest...

Kelsie I was 32. It was awful. Very intrusive. I got it Jan 19th 2010 about a month after a bout w viral meningitis. Before they confirmed it was viral., the hospital loaded me up with antibiotics in case it was bacterial. I suspect but have no proof that was the cause of my T. I didn't know...

...data is invalid or misinformed to the public. Of course the CI helps some who had no other congenital issues or caused by a virus (e.g. meningitis) or head/ear injuries. Your information helps others on this forum which some believe cochlear implants provide immediate hearing and/or helps...

...inner ear. It is also known as endolympatic hydrops. The exact cause is not known although there are several theories and in my case I had meningitis when I was a bub and that has been considered as one of a number of options. Of course a consequence of Meniere's is stress among other things...

I'd recommend trobalt, if you're really desperate. Note the side-effects firstly though. And I honestly feel so, utterly sorry for you...I keep thinking of dark thoughts, so god knows how you manage. You're an inspiration. I wish, truly I could help more, I really do. If you follow me, I'll...

Yes I am-when I had meningitis, the doc drew fluid out of my spine-they damaged the l5/s1 vertebrae-I had my lower back fused-so now imagine an uncomfortable back or sore back if I stand for too long a period together with T-the combination is unbearable-I wear glasses (short sighted)-and the T...

@Mathew Gould hey I believe Turmeric may have helped my Tinnitus because it may have been caused by overall inflammation from Meningitis that I had back in December. I stopped the Tumeric and began taking fish oil only because the Turmeric was becoming expensive but I was talking my local...

...and Neomycin eye drops, could be idiopathic or part of the progressive hearing loss I was diagnosed with as a kid after having bacterial meningitis as a baby. Saw the audiologist and ENT. I have hearing aids and are getting them adjusted to the new loss in normal hearing range and the...

Dginobile, what I meant by the the word "fine" was that as long as someone's tinnitus is non-reactive to loud sound, it is basically okay for that individual to take a flight, goes to the cinema or be in a loud restaurant etc. without proper protection. The tinnitus that I had was ETD related...

Makes a very interesting read,it's something at this stage in my life that I'm seriously considering doing!You had improvements from your stem cell treatment if I'm correct?Was it anything measurable on an audiogram?I had extensive hearing tests done recently and the results were,yet again...

...certain Elan Laboratories circa 2002. Everyone was. It flopped horrendously and gave a significant amount of human patients some sort of meningitis. This was also the company involved in some sort of trading scandal... I want to say with SAC but yeah, he's kind of the go to villain when...

Just purchased some Turmeric and Curcumin. I will be starting off with 1 pill a day at 900MG. I will keep everyone posted.

Is mastoiditis always bacterial? If it is then for sure IV antibiotics would be the way to go, there is a risk to worsening T with most antibiotics, but leaving a chronic bacterial infection is even worse. What? Why on earth is that strange? I thought only very mild tinnitus could only be...

...Just prior to me acquiring Meniere's I went through a period of intense depression so it might have been a catalyst for it. I also had meningitis when I was young which has been linked or suggested as a cause for Meniere's. I believe that there are two types of depression... clinical where...

...Anything that can can an encephalitis can ofc cause neurological damage, but, again, this is incredibly uncommon with flu (viral meningitis is a bigger vector, there's an outbreak on some college campus or other every so often, including at my college while I was there, a girl died). As far...

...go ahead with the lumbar puncture because of what they found on the MRI. It does carry a lot of risks, but you really need it to rule out meningitis or an infection at this point, and intracranial pressure. Just FYI, you should probably not drop the vascular bit, especially if they rule out...

...or a second after I stop making sound with my voice. My tinnitus (humming sound) is probably a side-effect of infectious encephalitis and meningitis I had 30 years ago when I was very young, and due to 20 to 30 severe brain concussions. MRI scan shows bilateral White Matter Loci in frontal...

...in my left jaw, tingling in my nose and forehead, swollen neck, etc. Rushed to hospital and given IV steroids/antibiotics for suspected meningitis. A few days later I had to have a lumbar puncture. A week or so afterward, I woke up with high-pitched screaming tinnitus in my right ear. It was...

Thanks, my tinnitus is from a neck and jaw misalignment that I think will never get back to perfect again. Currently I have annoying tinnitus about 60% of the time and it's barely noticeable the other 40%. I've prob tried 3 other supplements that have not helped. I'm thinking these supplements...

...and pounded again. Just wondering if since i have a leak of csf can it keep leaking, can it clog my jugular vein, can it become meningitis? i did a little research on spinal fluid and i know what its for but doesn't sound like it's ''OK'' to just leave this pocket of fluid there. I have...

Absolutely. When I first got tinnitus, I was very anxious and even had thoughts of ending it all. In fact, I didn't have "down days" which suggests that the other days were relatively good. My mood was like a roller-coaster from moment-to-moment; one moment I'd be doing ok, but then literally...

...protect your ears because they need to work and adapt again to your real life. I think they rest enough during the night. To give you an idea, I tried doing a run like that during my second month, my head literally imploded with pressure. I freaked out and thought I had a meningitis or some...

Thousands are claimed and many of those are miracles indeed but the rigorous process rejects most of them. If my severe tinnitus was suddenly cured by a miracle, it would definitely still not be registered a miracle according to the Vatican criteria. The prognosis of tinnitus is that it can...

I have done a lot of reading etc about the afterlife and there's so many theories it's hard. One is, as you say, you get to stay behind to watch the devastation unfold and you try to communicate and let people know you are still around. Then I've read about 'contracts' - which means as souls...

I have been deaf in my right ear since childhood following Meningitis and am now aged 27. Partial deafness hasn't really impacted me that much as I have had good hearing in my left ear and always tried to position myself to allow myself to hear ok. Obviously those who spend a lot of time with...

I wouldn't allege conspirency to all pharma companies. Yes, it's about money, but they have to proof by FDA that their drug is better than what's on the market. So if a drug isn't working, it's likely that this product won't come to the market... It's not like with quak or many of the unproofen...

Thanks for this. its so interesting. As an architect using CAD I recognise so much in this. Millions of small precise computer movements year on year. Chronic neck pain, jaw stiffness. Poor eyesight - Presbyopia....et al. My T was 'triggered' at a dental visit but I believe this was due to...

Ok I don't know if this could be the cause of my tinnitus that started last week but if it is what can be done?

...became "stereo". Later another doctor said that she never heard bacteria to come from one inner ear to the other inner ear without causing Meningitis... My naive feelig is like I have caught some kind of life-form (bacteria, virus, mushroom, sea-plant) which invaded my middle ear, than moved...

I feel exactly the same.

...my body - arms, legs, back, everything is just so tense. Its made me think there are a billion other problems in my body. Cancer, aids, meningitis, herniated discs - you name it, I thought I had it. I just want this to end. I picked up an ear infection in late December last year, which...

I didn't know Jeff had a genetic predisposition. It is a cruel fate to inherit. All of us can relate to focusing on negativity with regards to "T". I can only hope that competition within the research arm translates to clinical application fast. You raise a fair point as to what level of...

...a feeling of my ears getting full about 2 minutes after I take the collar off. Okay so here are my questions: a) Could this be spinal meningitis? b) My T runs about 8KHz but it changes tone drastically if I force my jaw to one side or even weirder if I press on my temple. If T comes from...

...don't know. Basically all I want to know is WILL I HAVE THIS FOREVER? I have had problems with my ears in the past. For starters I had meningitis when I was a baby, and my mum always thought that my hearing was not as good as others. I have also had a little ringing in my ears, like my...
