    VNG (Videonystagmography) Test Anyone? Did It Affect Your Tinnitus?

    My dizziness is gone for now. I’m still taking Claritin every day, and I take Lorazepam maybe once a week—sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on my anxiety level. The 0.5 mg dose of Lorazepam lasts a long time for me, so I try not to take it too often. I don’t sleep well at all; I...

Both ears were fine—no redness, nothing unusual. The pain continued off and on for the next two weeks. I went back to get checked...

    VNG (Videonystagmography) Test Anyone? Did It Affect Your Tinnitus?

    We’re twins, Lynnette—that’s exactly how I feel too. My doctor highly suspects that my Eustachian Tube Dysfunction is caused by allergies. I’m taking Claritin 10 mg once a day, and so far, I’ve noticed a lot of mucus draining down the back of my throat. Yesterday was a relatively good day in...

    VNG (Videonystagmography) Test Anyone? Did It Affect Your Tinnitus?

    Hi Lynette, Is your dizziness more like feeling unsteady or imbalanced, or is it more like vertigo, where everything around you seems to be spinning? I went to my doctor on Tuesday and was diagnosed with suspected Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, which could be the cause of my constant dizziness...

    Dizziness and Tinnitus

    I've been crying for almost 4 hrs now because of my fear. I've been having dizziness/imbalance feeling 24/7 for several days now. Actually I'm not sure I can tell exactly if it's pressure OR dizziness or maybe a combination of both. I hope that makes some sense. I have posted earlier that I...

    Am I So Different Than All of You? I Only Have Loud Days...

    Hi Luisa, I'm sorry you are having this experience. I'm new to this group but not so new to Tinnitus. In fact, I think I have had ringing/hissing etc in both ears for quite some time now and I just thought these were all normal sounds. Or rather, I thought that was what silence was/is!! How...
