So sorry that's it's been so rough! I wonder why the tinnitus got so bad so much later than the hearing loss.

Hi there, I did have deep ear pain, which eventually led me to explore that my problem may be in part related to TMJD. I found a physical therapist who showed me how to release and massage my jaw and neck muscles, and that's when I started getting better. I should also note that I take...

My hearing (via audiogram) showed full recovery 1 year after I experienced the loss. Has stayed stable ever since and I am now getting yearly audiograms. I am back to consuming sodium as well. I massage my face and TMJ area every night.

My audiograms. I used to be at 70-80 dB sensitivity in the low frequencies (severe hearing loss) to now normal (10 dB) in all except the lowest frequency (and I am 25 dB for that one). Tinnitus is also mostly gone, as is the fullness.

Amazing story! Yes, glad yours came back too! What a relief, I thought I was on the road to Meniere's disease. Thanks for sharing your story! I took lipoflavanoids for a while as well but didn't notice any difference. Probably multiple causes for hydrops

PT=Physical therapy. Neurotologist wrote the gabapentin prescription

No, I don't believe it was a matter of time. I sought out PT for that side of my face and neck, as I suspected that inflammation around the TMJ was irritating the trigeminal nerve in my face and ear. I also started taking betahistine every day. After I started the PT, my hearing slowly started...

Would love to hear your tips! I am about 80% recovered now, hope it doesn't come back.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. My name is Kathleen and I live in California. In August last year, I abruptly lost the low frequencies in my right ear. Thinking I was congested, I did not seek treatment for 2 months. After many ENT and neurotologist visits, I was diagnosed with cochlear...
