    Anyone Suffering from Cochlear Hydrops?

    @iDred Thanks for your reply. I like reading what you have to say. Did you try different diets? I know you mentioned that you're on a strict calorie diet. I am opened to trying new diet until something works. I'm going to give Lipo Flavonoid another chance. I'm going to purchase the 100...

    Anyone Suffering from Cochlear Hydrops?

    During the later days of this past June I had some hearing loss in my left ear out of no where and I just slept it off. The next day I woke up with the loud seashell/roaring sound in my left ear. I heard it over everything. Nothing could mask it. That lasted for about 12 days. It was complete...

    Ear Fullness and Tinnitus Spike

    That's great news. Yeah, what I've noticed is that my T is quiet during the morning whenever I don't play masking sounds at night. I stopped that but because I have H I need to try and retrain my ears again. So I was diagnosed with cochlear hydrops just based off of my symptoms and I need to...

    Ear Fullness and Tinnitus Spike

    Yeah, I thought all of this was because of my wisdom teeth. The bottom two that I had were impacted and one of them got infected. I took penicillin for it and the pain went away. A month and a half later, I took both of them out (2 weeks ago) but the ringing and hyperacusis is still the same. I...

    @Samantha R It could be because of inflammation. Have you ever had jaw or TMJ problems? I have a friend that had TMJ and jaw problems and prednisone worked for her so she narrowed the problem to be her jaw. Today I noticed that after I ate some beans with a tiny amount of salt my T was a bit...

    Trembling Sound When I Close Mouth with Earplugs On

    Thanks for confirming that. I thought it might put a lot of small pressure on the jaw and over time create T out of it. I'm just frustrated because I don't know what's causing my T after I went to an ENT and ER 6 times.
