does this help hearing loss? there is an EU warning about fibrosis

hi Joe, horrific handicap, deaf and going blind glaucoma and can't speak now with brain damage, aphasia?

I had a DPOE done and want to know what the normal values are? I've had severe damage to my hearing comprehension and want to know what test is there for that? My hearing was horrifically damaged by antibiotics and I feel my mind isn't alert, it's always sleepy and I have to focus really hard...

I tend to think that these anecdotal reports are extremely important for consideration when considering side effects. It's probably not safe to just take unknown supplements that haven't been studied

I have terrible hearing damage. so if you take 0.5mg of klonopin where does it say that stopping that causes hearing loss and vestibular damage?

antibiotics are a major cause of hearing damage and there are many ototoxic drugs. I would definitely always carry a pair of high decibel earplugs and never use earbuds

Yes it's terrible to lose hearing and musical discernment and precision. I made the mistake I think of going to a local ENT and the other ENT I went to wasn't good. It seems that it's difficult to know where the damage is exactly when you lose speech comprehension and clarity. I think it is...

There was a patient on here who said it caused hearing loss. It's not a good drug it causes Alzheimer's according to some large studies

I can't afford the HBOT in the US and I'm handicapped from hearing loss and have bad speech comprehension

does klonopin cause hearing loss? I recently got a DPOE test and am wondering what the normal values are?

I still have bad speech comprehension and miss sentences. I'm not sure if it is from hearing damage and/or brain damage from antibiotics. by the way what are normal numbers for a DPOE distortion product otoacoustic emission test for DP and NF? I read on a hospital website that hearing mumbling...

I'm taking ginko and vitamin E, was on NAC and starting magnesium but it's been months since my hearing loss. I went on steroids for a month at 60mg and more after that.

Actually I had improvement beyond one month of hearing loss. I just wish I had started the HBOT sooner. I'm trying to get more HBOT at a cheap price. I'm so handicapped I can't hear speech or teach english. Does anyone know where to get HBOT cheaply?

are you sure about that? I have to take klonopin every night for my sleep apnea, I think it might increase my oxygen levels one person on here said it gave him hearing loss so I'm worried now. I could try to find a doctor to prescribe me ambien but it is difficult

I have heard there is a risk of deafness and permanent dizziness with the tympanic injections. I started the steroids too late. I also took ginko and vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B

does clonazepam klonopin cause hearing loss?

they have a project at Stanford to restore hearing also with stem cells. Was this student patient then healed of hearing damage with stem cells from this Korean company?

are the tympanic injections dangerous? I heard that you can go completely deaf and become dizzy/vestibular damaged for life? I went on prednisone tablets, the IV steroids may be effective also and I've regained some hearing and speech comprehension but still have problems with hearing

by the way how can you get insurance coverage for HBOT? is it possible for Medicaid for hearing loss and brain trauma? I'm worried I can't work with the hearing loss and brain damage and aphasia the pubmed studies show that this works for hearing loss but I couldn't start it in time. I've...

has anyone had improvement at 40 sessions? I had bad hearing loss and did 20 hours from 1.75-2.2 ATA. I'm not sure it helped the hearing loss but perhaps it did. I still have problems hearing speech and sometimes missing words or hearing sentences as mumbled. the thing is during the session I...

at Stanford they have regrown hearing hair cells with stem cells but their goal is to cure human deafness in 10 years. do the current stem cell treatments in Germany and Thailand help hearing loss from antibiotic or noise damage? I'm horribly handicapped and afraid I can't teach anymore

klonopin is terrible as it raises Alzheimer's risk by 84% according to a large Canadian study and Harvard University, even a 0.5% increase in risk is terrible and significant but 84% is outrageous www.bmj.com does klonopin also damage hearing? I'm just taking a wild guess as a patient, it is...

is there a chance that too long or too much steroids can cause brain damage or hearing loss? I've regained some of my hearing comprehension but now I have terrible ear congestion and head numbness after a month. I'm not sure if the prednisone or high blood sugar or methyl b12, NAC glutathione...

No Kasart is right, you can end up deaf and with vertigo which would be horrific. I already have vertigo after reading internet forums and pubmed studies. Please note the pubmed researchers never write about the horrific deaths and damages that their experiments can cause often and they aren't...

klonopin slows down thinking speed I think by holding these neuron gates open so they are flooded with GABA. it seems to permanently damage the nerve signals for hearing. www.bmj.com 84% Alzheimer's my ears feel really congested and numb, is there anything for that. I mean you end up in a...

thanks for posting this. but it still seems like a terrible risk since people have gone deaf and gotten permanent vertigo from it according to the poster on here I've started to try dexamethasone oral pills instead but don't know what is a good and safe dose, maybe 5mg is really extremely...

I started to mix 40mg of prednisone and 2.5mg/day of dexamethasone and I had significant symptoms. I felt a little discomfort and a little pain and ear popping in the ear canal going down to the neck area. it seems to be a symptom of something going on with my ear cells and the nerve maybe...

Yes these studies are really dangerous and experimental and they never list the terrible damage and results possible from larger groups of patients. Who knows how many people would actually go deaf or have vertigo or even die from these experiments if it was a large group of patients. I took...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2639951/ I don't know what to do, this study notes 70% improvement with tympanic injections, but it still may not be safe...

I completely agree with the rational view of Kasart here. It is definitely not worth the risk of having vertigo and deafness when you can function with hearing aids. I went to Mt. Sinai NYEE and the resident told me that they never do tympanic injections in my case

I have heard terrible stories about people who lost their balance and went deaf on the injections, I think they were referring to tympanic injections on one forum. So I think I am just going to try the prednisone and vitamins and try to get hearing aids

I started to lower the prednisone dose and began to have ear congestion and really severe hearing loss. I think a month at 60-80mg may save my hearing. I notice when I take it I have ear pain and tinnitus and feel that it is working. It's really difficult not being able to hear people speak...

benzas are terrible you have an 84% increased risk of Alzheimer's www.bmj.com

I'm having improvement in hearing now taking medications and vitamins that I posted on this site. that's really fascinating, church organs are just terrible for the ears with those mixtures, I felt I had to make this sacrifice as an act of service. I had an organ professor tell me that his...

does piracetam help hearing loss? it increases oxygen and maybe blood flow

the prednisone and valtrex are working, I'm not sure if the injections will damage my ear drum though. There is a lot of risk involved and I could end up with balance damage/vestibular and unable to even use hearing aids. I also added in NAC and glutathione and vitamin E,A and ubiquinol and it...

I wasn't sure if intra or inter meant puncturing the delicate ear drum. But you see that patients have been terribly damaged by this procedure and unable to use hearing aids because of it. Please think rationally about this, I think a spray could possibly help

is this Intratympanic treatment where they actually cut your eardrum with a needle? is there a treatment where they just spray steroid into your ear. I just want to recover my speech comprehension so I can work and talk to people

I really regret not wearing earplugs and I practiced thousands of hours on loud church organs and pianos. Is there a good ear plug, hearing protection to save the rest of my ear cells? I'm just going to have to wear hearing protection for the rest of my life

horrible deafness, afraid I can't work or speak to people

Dear Kasart, Thanks so much!!! I think I will not do the injections then. Yes you have to be very careful about these pubmed studies since the researchers often have no regard for what happens to patients and the horrible damage you can get from experimental procedures. perhaps a better option...

Dear Kasart, Thanks so much!!! As the Hippocratic oath says, 'First do no harm' I think the tympanic injections may be a very bad idea if it damages other hearing and balance, vestibular cells. Perhaps the best thing is not to do more damage and live with hearing aids? I don't have Meniere's...

there are many, many ototoxic drugs like aspirin and antibiotics. from what I've read as a patient, NSAIDS cause hearing loss. there is a list of 200 drugs now that destroy or damage hearing at least which is not including effects from drugs that are unknown

I'm desperately taking 80mg/prednisone and it is helping. I'm considering the tympanic injections to regain speech comprehension so that I can work as a professor

I am handicapped and disabled now from this horrific hearing loss and unable to work or study mathematics. I think prednisone is helping but you have to watch out for high blood sugar, diabetes, bone loss. I'm wondering if I should go with a longer course. is there a steroidal ear drop...

so the tinnitus is a sign of hearing cells dying? what is the best ear protection? I'm on the silicone ear plugs right now

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2125.2011.03991.x/pdf please read this article carefully about antibiotics. please consider that even the so-called safe ones are probably toxic to the ears and damage the brain.

After suffering horrific deafness from taking antibiotics and loss of the ability to work I'm trying to get intratympanic steroid injections. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? What exactly are the criteria to get the injections, does the hearing loss need to be sudden and from unknown...

Prednisone is my only hope now to save my remaining ear cells and be able to work and have a normal life. There are side effects like diabetes and bone loss, but I think they can be managed with diet and exercise and possibly metformin...

HORRIFIC DEAFNESS, HANDICAPPED CANNOT WORK

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2125.2011.03991.x/pdf I have HORRIFIC trouble processing speech, pronouncing words, hearing words. My brain cannot focus or concentrate on speech and I can't say simple words like submitted. I think I may have had global aphasia from...

Is there a place to get prednisone without a script quickly, I only had 6 days. On pubmed I've read of tympanic injections of dexamethasone perhaps 2 times a week, I think it's my last hope to have any life or be able to work. but what is this feeling of tinnitus and some pain when I take...

How do I present my case so that I can get the injections? Does it have to be unexplained hearing loss or within a 1 day time period? I'm handicapped and can't work or talk to people.

Is there anywhere I can buy prednisone? I've only gotten 6days of prednisone and I'm on my last day!!! Don't EVER let an ENT or doctor tell you it's too late, it's never too late, the prednisone could still work! I'm on 80mg prednisone 5g day NAC, 5g day glutathione, 2g day vitamin E...

Hi, I am terribly damaged after taking ampicillin and roxithromycin, doxycycline, tinidazole, metronidazole and rocephin and gentamicin. I am a professor and my LIFE IS DESTROYED by DEAFNESS and aphasia and inability to hear or concentrate on words or process words or even hear them. As a last...
