I did not experience a foggy feeling. The biggest change I noticed was that I no longer had the "head ringing". Now a have bilateral "ear ringing".... hope that makes sense. In my case, the "ear ringing" is much more manageable.

1 teaspoon twice a day. Mornings without food and evenings after dinner. Hope this helps!

@Laur552 This is routine. I had a MRI performed at the request of my ENT. Your partner provided good guidance. I wouldn't worry about it.

@newbieT It is not always present. I hear it when I move my ear and sometimes my head. I also hear it when I swallow. However, I don't hear it when I move my jaw.

@newbieT I have the same symptoms but in both ears. I have mild bilateral hearing loss. ENTs cannot explain the cause of my crackling. I often wonder if I have always had these sounds but my brain was just blocking them out (like it does for heartbeats). However, with my hearing loss, maybe...

@Jomo & @Sonic17 Thanks for the encouragement. Although there are moments when my head is closer to silence, there are other times when my T just spikes. I am not used to this configuration and I just got off ADs so it's definitely a struggle sometimes. I have 3 kids ages 10, 7, & 4. The...

So I was on the AudioNotch website again tonight and noticed some interesting behavior being exhibited by my hearing. I know I have hearing loss from 3 kHz to 4 kHz bilaterally. I played a 3.3 kHz tone on my laptop's speakers and stood about 15 feet back. By moving my head up / down and side...

Even though my T has turned into something more manageable, since I'm off the AD, I'm still bothered by it..... hahaha I can never win!!!

@Scared111 I purchased the following one at amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009EYIQ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My T is still at a low level. After 7 months, my baseline has gradually dropped. I'm hoping that today's configuration is the new baseline. I have noticed something interesting. Now that my T is lower, I notice the mild hearing loss more. I'm not used to that. I will probably schedule another...

20 sessions @ 2.5 ATA.

@Bill Bauer Thanks for the well wishes. It's midnight in Chicago. Even though I have work tomorrow, I'm staying up a bit longer to absorb this moment of "silence". I'm not sure what noises I will wake up to, but I am thankful for this moment.

Hi all. Before I go into the details of my changing T, I want to give a brief background of myself for those who have not read my other posts. I developed bilateral T towards the end of April. I was diagnosed with mild bilateral high frequency hearing loss. It eventually settled to a multi-tone...

My friend, it's all about $$$$$. I do believe at the research level, there are researchers that are passionate about their work. Their driving factors include rising up to the challenge, name recognition, and those that are simply driven by helping out others. The problem is, their resources...

Thanks for all of the replies. I understand that I am vastly underestimating what goes into a hearing exam. All of my words are coming from an angle of frustration. When I was sweeping through the frequencies and the tone was panning from one ear to the next, I knew something was not right...

Hi all. I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss and tinnitus 7 months ago. Yesterday, I decided to evaluate my hearing on audio notch (https://www.audionotch.com/app/tune/). I'm not quite sure it was a good idea. Afterwards, I was overwhelmed with emotions and questions. Oh well, what's done is...

Chicago, IL USA

I was told by ENTs that I have mild high frequency hearing loss and that is the cause of my tinnitus. How do doctors know that hearing loss is causing my tinnitus vs tinnitus causing my hearing loss? Is it possible that I cannot hear some sounds during a hearing exam because they are being...

@Gregory Altman : I'm sorry about your hearing loss. A little over 5 months ago, I lost some hearing in both my ears (mild). From my experience, you will need to be your own advocate. A vast majority of situations like ours will be diagnosed as "idiopathic" meaning of unknown cause. There are...

@Clare0866 I'm sorry to about what you are going through. As stated by Nina, it may be ETD. It may also be sudden sensorineural hearing loss (in which a high percentage of people recover from). As far as the loudness in your good ear goes, it may be your body attempting to compensate for the...

I've had intermittent somatic tinnitus prior to to my hearing loss. I would sometimes hear it at night in complete silence and when I wore ear protection for shooting. After my hearing loss, it seems like my somatic T is way louder. Could it be after my hearing loss that my system turned up...

Here is my case: - 7 month prior - My wife and I bought a fixer upper house. This was the beginning of EXTREME STRESS!!! I was freaking out over every little thing that was wrong with the house. Managing this project with all the contractors really took a toll on me. - 5 months prior - I believe...

Hi all! I decided to start this thread in order to document cases of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (BSSHL). Some in the medical community classify BSSHL as a completely different disease than its unilateral counterpart. I was recently struck with BSSHL, and no one has been able...

@Frédéric No improvement on hearing loss. Slight improvement with tinnitus. The biggest improvement was with aural fullness. My left ear always seemed clogged. It opened up after the third treatment.

All, I recently had 20 Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments (1.5 hours per treatment at 2.5 ATA) for my hearing loss. Thank God I was pre-approved by my insurance and that I hit my deductible for the year. After totaling up all of the claims associated with the treatment, the grand total was: $35,894. I...

Apparently, the most common cause of tinnitus is hearing loss.... not so in this poll.

@PaulBe .... Pluto used to be a planet

@Jkph75 That is correct regarding the frequencies. Yes, I would agree that my case is atypical. However, if the medical community is collecting data and performing case studies on a strict criteria of SSHL, this could lead to a situation where there are only a few documented presentations of...

@Jkph75 My hearing dropped 25db in 2 frequencies on the second test. So my hearing went from roughly 5db to 30db.

Yes - 41.9 % No - 58.1 %

@Jkph75 Thanks for your input. It's interesting that my last audiologist was thinking the same thing. She theorized that my hearing loss has been there for awhile and something just pushed it over the edge. Then she compared my first and second hearing test results where I had a 25db drop at 2...

Yes - 46.1% No - 53.9%

Throughout this journey, I had be my own advocate. It looks like this trend will continue. I will probably be seeing a neurologist and endocrinologist. I am fortunate enough to have an insurance plan that does not require me to get a referral for a specialist. If I may partake in another small...

@Lorac I truly feel for you. Your case is similar to mine and should have been professionally / medically documented. The information in your case could help others. Everyone has their reasons for joining this forum and they are all legitimate. My reason is not so much emotional support but...

Need to get something off my chest before I go to bed. Five months ago, I was hit with simultaneous sudden bilateral hearing loss.... VERY RARE. Simultaneous to that, I also started having eustachian tube crackling and popping. In 5 months of searching, I cannot find another documented case...

Hearing loss poll - latest results: Yes - 57.9% No - 42.1 %

@Foncky Thanks for participating. Your hearing loss pattern is somewhat similar to mine. Was the onset of your hearing loss / tinnitus sudden? @Rubenslash Thanks for your reply. If you don't mind me asking, what caused your ototoxicity? Where your symptoms sudden?

Hi everyone! I'm new here. My first post was a few days ago. I am very grateful for this site and its contributors as I feel I am not alone in this. Given I am an analytical / numbers type person, I'm interested in knowing how many of us on this site have hearing loss along with our tinnitus...

@Greg Sacramento You have passed on a ton of valuable information. I really appreciate it. I don't have a cracking sound. It is more like a crackling sound. Like my eustachian tubs are sticky. Given the hearing loss and the sticky tubes occurred at the same time, I don't believe the issue being...

@Tinker Bell Thanks for your input. I think a neurologist is my next step. I feel uncomfortable with the fact that my sudden / progressive hearing loss is bilateral which is very rare. From what I have read, these scenarios are generally autoimmune or toxicity related. My doctors don't seem too...

@Bobbie7 Thanks for the reply. Yes, we are still living in the same house. No one else in the family is exhibiting symptoms. I have yet to see a neurologist. Unfortunately, since I have anxiety, doctors seems to thing that is the cause of all of my issues. @Bill Bauer @PaulBe @Greg Sacramento...

@Greg Sacramento Thanks for the reply. I injured my rib attempting to break some wood. I stepped on a piece with one foot, bent over, and pulled up on the other end of the piece. I felt a popping in my ribs. Hurt like hell but I recovered in a couple of weeks. I had no injury to my spine, neck...

Hi all. First post here. Like others, I have lurked around this forum for a while. Firstly, I would like to say that I pray for each and every one of you. I know what you are going through. I truly believe there is a cure for all diseases and sicknesses. It's just a matter of time for hearing...
