...@Liam_Cairns, sadly as @Vicki14 pointed out, many people are being permanently harmed by microsuction. I also believe I suffer from cochlear hydrops following an acoustic trauma brought on by microsuction. This was over 5 years ago. After three months of researching my symptoms I came to the...

Hi everyone. When I see these posts describe tinnitus along with hyperacusis, ear fullness and pain, I totally relate. My diagnosis (who really knows?) is Cochlear Endolymphatic Hydrops. I’m expecting my Lion’s Mane from UPS any minute now. Question: Is it absolutely necessary for the Niacin...

Did you have any vertigo? And what were your other symptoms? I got a bad sound distortion from lifting heavy weights on top of my normal tinnitus.

...is mild anyway (20-40 dB fluctuating), but now it's hard to notice it even at near-silence environments (~20 dB). I've been suspecting cochlear hydrops (although I haven't had hearing loss and ear pressure), but this is confusing. If someone could offer some help/ideas, I would be very...

Didn't your doctor suspect cochlear hydrops in your case (which can cause distortions) or am I thinking of someone else?

Hi Juan, Yes, I’m taking Moduretic (a diuretic) and I was also prescribed Betahistine. Personally, I think a diuretic is essential to drain the excess fluid from the inner ear, worked a treat for me. Might be worth a try? Sam

Another thing I discovered is you will be surprised what foods cause issues. I found tomatoes cause my cochlear hydrops symptoms to get really bad. Who would ever think tomatoes would do this? This is why you have to really be careful with what you eat and make sure that you are not eating...

Thinking I might have cochlear hydrops. A lot of the symptoms are there in my left ear, especially when I eat something with a lot of salt.

Atypical Meniere's? He may mean Cochlear Hydrops. if its atypical it isn't Meniere's by definition. Meniere's is a criteria-based diagnosis.

I want to give my 2 cents about cochlear hydrops. I spoke to an ENT and he made a pretty good point about tinnitus, fullness, hyperacusis and all the other great symptoms we experience. He said that far too many people dismiss the possibility of hydrops because the “know” that their tinnitus...

Hi @meemil ! Have you ever looked into upper cervical chiropractor? It has a very high success rate to reduce/cure Menieres, which is a form of cochlear/endolymphatic hydrops. It is non-evasive and inexpensive. Hope you're doing well! :)

...I can make it go away if I tilt my head at a 45-degree angle to the right or shake my head quickly. One doctor diagnosed me with Cochlear Hydrops, but a second said that was totally incorrect. MRI and hearing tests all come back normal. What's so strange is that the tinnitus goes away every...

Maybe something to do with your inner ear fluids. You could read more about benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and cochlear hydrops...

How’s it going? Are you dizzy with it? Could it be cochlear hydrops? Please sleep as much as you can as I am a firm believer that the brain resets itself at night.

...and got another hearing test. Looks like my low frequency hearing 250 Hz and below is starting to drop. The ENT really thinks it's Cochlear Hydrops now and wants to put me on prednisone. Surprised he didn't want to try a diuretic. I'm very hesitant to try Prednisone again after my first...

I honestly don't know what spikes my T. It's very unpredictable and I'm not totally sure I have cochlear hydrops but suspect I do.

Do you have to do it with an ultrasonic tool? (Never done root planing myself...) Also, have you considered dividing the procedure into two separate sessions?

I don't think of hydrops as a purely cochlear thing. There was a surgeon (can't remember the name, sorry, but I will search for them later) who did tetonomies on people with Meniere's and for a lot of his patients it was essentially a long term cure. Recruitment is one of those weird things...

Does it spike your Tinnitus???

By the way, I think there may be surgery for this, endolymphatic sac decompression... maybe you can explore this with your doctor, see if it is an option for you.

Hi @dhenry89 - Cochlear hydrops is a difficult diagnosis to make. The hallmarks are low-pitched tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss, and fullness in the ears - but the symptoms can vary. The episodic vertigo of Meniere's is not present in cochlear hydrops. Treatment of cochlear hydrops can...

I think I have low frequnecy tinnitus... I'm worried it can possibly be Cochlear hydrops/Menieres? Are there any tests to determine this? I'm new to T

I am the member who tried the experimental procedure for Menieres to try to fix my Cochlear Hydrops, a very depressing experience which did NOT help my cochlear hydrops. Hi lolkas, yeah it didn't work man. I'm still stuggling just like I was before. Hope you doing well brother.

Can I ask what kind of vision issues do you have? Thank you, twa

Hi Brian, I have/had cochlear Hydrops most likely because of hormonal IVF treatment. A diuretic will only work if your inner ear has Hydrops (excess fluid). The weight training may have caused Hydrops for you, but I’ve not heard of anyone else who has developed it in this way. You could try it...

I'm sorry to hear of your struggle. I have cochlear hydrops and it progressively destroys your inner ear. Mine has progressed from a 10% loss in January of this year to 50% now. I have severe tinnitus and the pressure in the ear is really bad. I hope you find relief. I'm a total disaster.

A couple of leads to consider: otosclerosis or cochlear hydrops.

Kathleen, why do you say you are only 90% back to normal, what are you basing this on? Can you tell that your hearing is not as good as it was before the cochlear hydrops?

I have never heard of intratympanic LDN. Would like to know more. Also, to be clear, I believe @Samantha R also took (takes?) a diuretic.

@Terrel , Hydrops is when crystals have developed on the ends of the tiny hairs in your cochlear and can cause dizziness without the vertigo of Menieres or hearing loss. love glynis

...here with plenty of ear problems. Started with a bad infection, got sudden hearing loss right after, which turned to be a bilateral cochlear hydrops. I've had maybe a dozen episodes already, luckily hearing has always recovered. It's been a year now and the symptoms of the infection are...

But what about tinnitus that comes from cochlear hydrops, lol we all know that's not in the brain it's clearly a phenomenon of the ears. Google it and answer me that..

Um yeah we're talking Cochlear Hydrops.. which is distinctly different from full blown Menieres desease. Perhaps your confused? Cochlear hydrops is the Tinnitus of menieres without the vertigo of menieres, many people hear ringing from hydrops (it happens with unhealthy diet, like how 80% of...

Hydrops is a medical condition I'm not talking about oxytocin spray. XDR is reporting the symptoms of cochlear hydrops, including salt and caffeine affecting his T. I just wanted to bring the condition to his attention.

...and hyperacusis as well as tinnitus. You could try supplements like Magnesium L-Threonate to see if it helps. Although you’re sure it’s not Meniere's, it could still be Cochlear Hydrops. I’d try a non loop diuretic for a little while just to see if it helps. That way at least you’ll know.

How are you doing? did you get some of your hearing back? The last ENT I visited suspects I might have some form of hydrops too. To me this is really surprising after years of hyperacusis which was obviously due to noise. However, along the road there was also a virus that attacked one of my...

That now makes much more sense, thanks. That means their SPI-5557 treatment is the regrowth one then.

The only treatments I’m aware of are steroids and a diuretic + lowering salt and sugar intake. If that takes down the fluid build up in the inner ear some hearing may come back.

@ElisabethMarie, Sorry you’re going through this. I understand because I’ve been in your shoes with allot of your symptoms. I have an auditory condition called Cochlear Endolymphatic Hydrops (CEH) I have a Post about it. Maybe read it? You might find it interesting. All the best!

Thanks, I hope so too :) How are you doing? I did not explore it further, since I never had fullness or much hyperacusis (except the first few weeks after the whiplash), just fluctuating tinnitus. Now after a few years it kind of settled into long ups and downs that stay in a certain range most...

Guess I will have to do some research. Thanks

One of the many doctors I saw claims that excess cochlear hydrops can do that.

@Mr. Cartman are you still active? I probably have cochlear hydrops and its driving me crazy. I would need some of your advice because the word says you're the expert in the field.

Hi there @Mario martz ! Weird I didn't see your message. I'm not habituating at all because T is changing every freakin second. It's driving me mad. I strongly suspect I have cochlear hydrops :(

It seems an otologist is an ENT, so i saw one a while ago and they said I was fine, but they took no x-rays or anything... is that whats needed to detect cochlear hydrops???

Aural fulness seems to be a common T symptom doctors can't really explain. I just discovered 'cochlear hydrops' which explains aural fulness and T. Check it out - I just resurrected an older thread about it.

How do you function? I literally am bedridden several days a week, the noise is so extreme. I am contemplating ending my life. It's that bad.

Hi @Jrblovsky, sorry to hear you're struggling too. Your symptoms sound very like mine... And like you I've searched for answers that could help and have found nothing. My cochlear hydrops was triggered after hearing damage from microsuction.

It clearly won't affect hydrops or the abnormal Reissner's membrane in Meniere's but I suspect it will repair the hair cells damaged just as well if: 1) they can reduce the hydrops at the time of injection. 2) the round window isn't too impermeable in late stage Meniere's, though with even a...

@GregCA I certainly don't have otoschlerosis. Do migraines cause cochlear hydrops? I have definitely had some symptoms of that in the past. However, diet modifications has never helped me and I eat almost no salt.

Yes, that makes more sense to me...

My guess: this could be categorised within the very broad boundaries of very light Meniere or "Meniere-related". Or endolymphatic hydrops... or some very light retro-cochlear activity involving the conduction of sound through the hearing nerve... Many hearing issues over the years, in time...

...ear osmolality. Once you relieve the pressure then your hair cells will stop sending tinnitus sounds and you'll be cured. In fact cochlear hydrops without vertigo is likely the cause of your tinnitus. An overall healthy lifestyle with extra hydration will relieve you of the increased water...

You're probably thinking of someone else. Although, he did prescribe me a diuretic which I haven't taken. I'm seeing another doctor to get a second opinion in a few weeks. I had a few days of no distortions but came back with a vengeance and I have no idea why.

Do you experience dizziness/vertigo?

Hi,could you tell me what your symptoms are pls?? I had 2 horrible episodes which sounded like cochlear hydrops nut i saw my ent yest and mybhearing tets came back normal as well so he dismissed it.Thanks x

...My tinnitus is due to Meniere's which is basically a build up of excessive endolympathic hydrops in the inner ear. There is also cochlear hydrops which causes similar symptoms including pressure/fullness and dizziness. It's possible that you might have a variant of either but I'm not a doctor...

...the bird noise T also has almost completely gone away. Off- Topic but... Good information is good information. Cochlear - Cochlear Hydrops (increased pressure inside the inner ear (cause unknown)), this pressure causes "fluctuating" tinnitus as the pressure within the Cochlea...
