...on Methotrexate. As I personally believe (and this is total speculation), our group who suffers with this very specific form of cochlear hydrops that seems to be greatly aggravated by sound is almost an immune response to noise. In the way that some people with Meniere's can't touch salt...

Hydrops is not purely cochlear. Intracranial pressure can affect it. However, you can alter its severity through changing cochlear fluid dynamics. I also think for some people their hyperacusis is related to stapedius muscle dysfunction (i.e. losing the dampening effect) and other middle ear...

Dr Nagler, In a previous post you were explaining cochlear hydrops and that one of the symptoms is a low frequency tinnitus. Does "drone/generator" like noise qualify as low frequency? Also how exactly is the above condition diagnosed. I also have feeling of fullness so now I'm just wondering...

That says only got "complete remission" in 101/151 cases, which is interesting but if the problem is "hair cells stuck in the on position" as your theory goes I would think that would be much higher since you are fully removing input from the ear. It also doesn't address why people with...

not my ENT, she said I MAY have acoustic neuroma, meniere, cochlear hydrops, blood cancer, thyroid cancer, parotid cancer, lymphoma, brain cancer, ETD, etc

...Doctors say nothing can be done about it. This tinnitus is in the ear I never had it in before along with a very faint eee... Since I've had tinnitus for many years, I was upset about this for 2 weeks, but now I'm in the phase where I'm more curious if this is cochlear hydrops or hyperacusis?

You audiogram doesnt reflect meniers or cochlear hydrops, "Typically, the audiogram of someone with Ménière’s Disease slopes from right to left. Thus, the person with this audiogram will be able to hear high-pitched sounds better than low-pitched sounds in the left ear. The right ear hears...

You don't have tinnitus you have either pulsatile throbbing, ear bone spasms, damage from loud music, cochlear hydrops, or cervical spine damage. You need to go into your brain and figure out what caused your noises and make peace with the underlying reason, then stop that underlying cause...

...keep going. You'll certainly be able to answer many questions TT members have about hearing matters, if you want to. Like cochlear hydrops ! I was told I may have that, but I had no further explanation. Do you think having T will change something in your practice as a doctor ? (even if...

Hydrops causes crystals on the tiny hairs in your cochlear and causes motion sickness ,dizziness and ear fullness and tinnitus and hearingloss but unlike meniere's it is not a progressive disease . Tests are done to rule out other problems and MRI and balance tests done . It is good to keep a...

It resembles menieres in most symptoms without the vertigo and treatment similar. Menieres is a progresive disease leading to hearingloss and sever tinnitus. With hydrops you form crystals on the tiny hairs in your cochlear so it is a inner ear problem and not middle ear that focuses on your...

I am wondering if this is not cochlear hydrops, but at any rate it seems the use this category (cochlear hydrops) as a general diagnosis for many cases doctors cannot really explain. I think I do have fluctuating hearing. And there is some "enhancement of sound" our hearing does that for me is...

It's not accurate to say there is no evidence. There is a lot of evidence that in cases where the underlying cause can be treated (e.g., Hydrops) the tinnitus resolves with treating the underlying cause which means it's not "stuck in the brain." See also ear infections and ear wax, ETD, etc...

...wrong tinnitus can sometimes develop. However, they don't actually treat the tinnitus especially noise induced. You have mentioned cochlear hydrops. My understanding is that this condition is associated with Menier's. Therefore, it's probably the Menier's that is making your tinnitus worse...

I think you would be wise to try LDN before harsh steroids. Have you tried a mild diuretic (like dandelion tea) to see if it helps your symptoms? I believe LDN will help people with hydrops, inflammation or issues of an autoimmune origin. The problem is that there is still such an overlap and no...

Really? Wow. Thank you for the info. The diagnosis came after a hearing test that showed mild low frequency hearing loss. That coupled with my tinnitus and hyperacusis led to the diagnosis. My problem came on extremely suddenly back in August. It was like someone flipped a switch. I went from...

That is what my T sounds like. I hate it.....worsened by the stupid ENT/Audiologist who told me that acoustic traumas are less likely to happen then meniere/cochlear hydrops/tumors/etc. :(

@Teri , I was hoping to have cochlear hydrops but last night I had a severe vertigo attack, I was sitting on my couch and it was sudden no warning I laid on the floor and vomited profusely and had drenching sweats. Lasted one hr and I was able to walk at around 330am. It's menieres I am not...

Hi Paul I’m not far from you... In terms of the symptom I would ask about cochlear hydrops, Meniere's. Look into TMJ causes as well, particularly if you have ear fullness... TMJ can be responsible but treatment is a bit of a long shot as far as the symptom of tinnitus goes. Do you have a...

...hair cells, because they're not damaged, but restoring the cochlea pressure to stop the hearing dysfunction. Here's a good video on cochlear hydrops that precede Meniere's: TLDR; Not all hearing disorders are a result of hair cell damage or death and so the treatment for these disorders...

If his low frequency problem was causes by hydrops, he could absolutely see that kind of dramatic improvement in low frequency hearing. Mine isn't caused by hydrops but Aldosterone should make my surviving strial Na/K channels (because it acts directly on them) more efficient and my cochlear...

Hello Patrick, I had a question concerning Cochlear Hydrops. My audiogram shows no hearing loss and it doesnt seem to fluctuate over time and stays the same. However my both ears feel blocked now they seem to pop but I never get relief since 2 moths.. it possible to have CH without hearing...

...That is amazing. I really hope it turns out well and that your tinnitus goes down. I have the exact same tinnitus as you do, but in the right ear only. Changes several times a second and several similar noises to what you have. Wonder if I have cochlear hydrops too? How can I get that diagnosed?

It's in a different location. The canalostomy is in the semi-circular canal. The risk here is vestibular but as someone who has virtually no vestibular function on my right side and is clinically normal (though I probably can't go on roller coasters again) after PT, it's worth the risk imo. As...

I have insanity tinnitus and this happens to me too. Hearing drops get a piercing Eeeeeeeeee and audiogram shows 6 kHz losses for hours. Talking loudly or having full ears definitely seems like a prerequisite for it to happen.

You no longer have an infection but still have symptoms? Or am I just confused? And what kind of ear infection if you don’t mind me asking. I’m only asking because I still hve odd symptoms after my ear infection has cleared up to the point I think it’s coming back but I’ll look at it with a...

...My concern is that the "low" lightsaber hum reactive tones (literally what it sounds like in brown noise) are more distinctive of cochlear hydrops... And I did get barotrauma and Prednisone is known to screw with fluid balance, as well as inflammation could too. The smoking gun for this for...

From what this Dr told you, it sounds like I definitely have Hydrops. Then he said that it leads to Meniere's. You lose at least half of your hearing in one ear if you have Meniere's. That would mean that I would not be able to hear. Hearing with a Cochlear implant is not hearing at all...

That seems to be the same case with what I presume I have, "cochlear hydrops" My hearing was good for 10 days, low frequency really came back but not 100%. Then it just got worse again. This seems to be the same cycle that keeps happening since I got this 3 months ago. I don't think it will...

...for days after hearing some noise; apparently this is quite uncommon too. Sometimes I get this liquid feeling deep down my ears, and there is no visible liquid, so I thought maybe this sensation is cochlear hydrops, and that's why I feel the liquid and the warmth feeling of pressure on and off.

Never heard about 'pre' cochlear hydrops. Do you feel ear fullness? If you have hydrops, you should have dizziness and/or hearing fluctuation and/or ear pain-fullness... If I was you, I would definitely try a low dose of diuretics. I would maybe also try a low dose of SERC. I read it helped...

...told me how the brain might have caused it because of the obstacle in the way of the incoming soundwaves. I told him all about cochlear hydrops etc, which he dismissed and eventually said I'm okay and there is nothing to worry about after an extended talk about how it could be more serious...

...at the moment that I am not sure how it will manifest itself, but i would like to see something positive come from this. Regarding cochlear hydrops - I am not an expert (who is?!) and it seems to me to be a difficult diagnosis to make as some of the symptoms overlap considerably with much...

What was the cause of your tinnitus? Any hearing loss? I don't think "metallic sea shell sound" is very typical and I have read that as a description for tinnitus being caused by less common things like patent cochlear aqueduct, Perilymph Fistula, hydrops, etc. Did they rule those kinds of...

inner ear ct scan . and neuroradiologist report should clear out any doubt about cochlear hydrops or something else

I wonder if it would it depend on if you were having an episode though as Meniere's tends to be episodic doesn't it? So if you were able to get the treatment at a time when fluid retention was at a minimum I suppose the drug could do its thing still.

...40 days without loud T and sleepless nights! YIPPEE!!! I hope this cycle continues. I have not had any difficulty with Meneires, cochlear hydrops or whatever it is I have in my inner ear other than my cycle of migraine headaches and a some fullness in my ear off and on. I feel...

...refrain from screaming too much, so many do that. I have had fullness in my ear since my acoustic trauma and the ear plugs were fine on the rollercoaster. Although, I didn't go on any upside down rollercoasters as I may have cochlear hydrops and I don't want to trigger a vertigo episode. Good...

I am planning on getting another opinion, thank you. He said I might have cochlear hydrops which is basically early stages of Ménière's in which it doesn't effect the balance part of your ear. Not sure if this is true, but we'll see

...ear. A diuretic can assist in draining the fluid and helping with those sensations. Whilst I don’t have Meniere’s, I did have a cochlear Hydrops episode and that was exactly how my ear felt until I went on a diuretic. At that point, within 24 hours I had my hearing back, less pressure in my...

...is OK. The low sodium diet and water pill hasn't really help. I still get attack. This is why she think it isn't Meniere's Dx or Cochlear Hydrops. Thank you Blue28. The first round of prednisone did help...the second round didn't. I don't even think the mirgrane diet or even the Meniere's...

@brownbear , how are you ? I may possibly also have cochlear hydrops Do you have fluctuating hearing loss and how bad? Do you experience aural fullness? T is very loud with hypercusis ? I also a physician, but I can get any straight answers from my associates Have you tried dyazide? What is the...

...in all frequencies but especially in my low tones. It's now 7 months and I have noted a few days of improvement in my low tones and relief of my loud T, this is short lived I then revert to my diabolical symptoms. I was told that it could be cochlear hydrops. Have you noted any improvement? Dom

The shit from the "cochlear synaptopathy," "hidden hearing loss," "pain fibre," etc crowd doesn't generally impress me anymore because almost none of them take into account the mere existence of the middle ear. While tinnitus and hyperacusis can both most definitely be of cochlear origin I...

Hi there, So one month ago I had these episodes of hydrops cochlear what fortunately have vanished, but I got left with a hissing in both ears that I can only hear very mildly when I go to bed, but especially when I wake up, the moment I open my eyes I feel like I'm under water. What's the...

...Betahistine 3 times a day and it seems to lessen my tinnitus. I had to take it for 3 or so weeks before I felt any benefit. I have cochlear hydrops and this is the second time I have tried Betahistine. I gave up the first time - higher dose of 16mg x 3 - as it gave me indigestion. I am very...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378595518305902#! FYI researchers *are* working on regenerating the vessels in the stria. I wrote Dr. Wang (she's an author on the paper I linked) a while ago and she said they are working on getting something clinical hopefully soon with...

When regenerative therapy comes out, I definitely want to go to a Meniere's specialist for the IT injection. They do it so often, it's routine for them.

Yes I am, but it's not helping that much. I understand. It's a moving target. I was originally (mis)diagnosed as having hydrops and given a diuretic. Just a day after the first dose of diuretic is when my T appeared. I just had hearing loss before that. I don't know if the diuretic is...

I am resurrecting this thread, because an ENT I just saw, commented I might have cochlear hydrops. I found this article interesting, which mentions 'anomalies in the region of the mastoid in these patients', which is another symptom I seem to have at least in the form of trigger point / fascial...

Seems quite clear that you in fact then have some fluid building up. Have you received any treatment for that? Any talks about installing a shunt there, for example? This is mentioned in https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menieres-disease/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374916

...night about 2-4 hours. My audiologist claims that it got worse because of anxiety and the 25db drop in my hearing is also stress related. my ENT thought I had Acoustic Neuroma, AIDS, Thyroid Cancer, Meniere, Cochlear Hydrops, etc. She said that acoustic trauma was the least likely of all of...

@Jkph75 Well, I do think you might have hydrops, but it's very difficult to figure out whether you have elevated endolymph pressure in one or both of your ears. Sometimes they can use the Ecog test to determine that, but that is a test you don't want to take with delicate ears (it's like a...

That would be cochlear hydrops, which is different from Meniere. The fluid in your inner ear builds in excess and that causes tinnitus sometimes, and other symptoms. There is no direct test for that. They usually deduce it from a cochleography (be careful, it's a loud exam and can worsen...

A dear friend of mine recently learnt she may have cochlear hydrops. I think her doctor suspects it is autoimmune driven. She has responded favorably to low dose naltrexone.

With low pitched tinnitus and intermittent fullness, cochlear hydrops comes to mind - but that's really much more of a guess and much less of a diagnosis at this point in time. My suggestion would be for you to see a neurotologist for a thorough evaluation, which will clearly serve you far...

...wouldn't something like canalostomy (which drills a hole through the canal into the endolymph) introduce risks for symptoms to cochlear hydrops? From what I understood of the hypothesized cause of cochlear hydrops is that the endolymph-perilymph membrane is broken that results in a cascade of...

Another email from Ashley from Hough Ear Institute with regards to hyperacusis. Just asked her about inner ear damage, cochlear hydrops and Meniere's disease. Fingers crossed we get things for all types of damage or tinnitus and other conditions soon.

Is it permanent loss? have you been tested on other issues than Acoustic Trauma?

...ear. But me saying that to him didn’t seem to interest him. He was convinced my hearing is fluctuating so now he believes I have Cochlear Hydrops even though there is nothing visible on my MRI and he did not recommend doing any additional testing like ECoG either. While my symptoms match up...
