What I mean is, IF, and only if, what I have is a form of cochlear Meniere's (just no vertigo), then it is possible that vertigo can show up later. It happens in some folks.

No one has yet diagnosed me with anything. Very frustrating. I did go to a tinnitus class where they said that tinnitus is not always an ear sound. It can also originate in the brain. I began taking SAM-e and my episodes reduced, until I was clear for a year. Started up again recently. No...

I hate flying on airplanes. With a passion. It absolutely terrifies me, and since I do not like sedatives, plane trips are pretty much torture.

Karen, if you read up on Cordyceps, it is a good all around supplement for health. It was given to me by my TCM practitioner for supporting my immune system. A nice side effect was that after a while of taking it, I noticed a distinct improvement in my hearing distortion/tinnitus attacks. I also...

I have seen a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for four years now. I receive both acupuncture and herbal treatments. I started seeing him for different health reasons, and those are now mostly under control, but when the tinnitus began, he modified the treatment to include treatment for...

"Ankie" is what my little sisters used to call me. They were not able to say my real name.

Cordyceps on Amazon.com I have noticed that the Cordyceps gives me the most benefit. It seems to help me with a better mindset when I have loud tinnitus, but it also seems to reduce the volume for me quite a bit. I notice quite a difference when I stop taking Cordyceps.

Interesting. It might well be a form of hyperacusis. What puzzles me is that when I had my audiology appointment for my hearing test, I had no hearing loss in my working ear. She said that ear worked really well, even in the low frequencies, which is what I was most worried about.

PM would be fine, I will have to see how that works here LOL, I am still learning my way around the forum. I know what you mean by feeling desperate. I am a musician ....so losing my hearing would also mean losing music.

I had another episode of tinnitus that got louder over the course of the day, complete with the rattly sounding distortion on some sounds. It was pretty bad. I went grocery shopping around 3 pm and the distortion in the grocery store was very loud (freezer humming etc) but then it also resolved...

Kaiser Permanente. It is an HMO type health insurance plan

I had an EEG, a brain MRI, and a hearing test where they also tested my inner ear function, not sure what that test was called. Kaiser will not order any more testing. I was told to live with it. I lost my hearing in my left ear as a child due to a head injury.

I do not have vertigo, nor do I have hearing loss at this time.

For me, it comes and goes, but when it distorts like that, I am absolutely mortified that I will lose my hearing in my only working ear:( The tinnitus and the distortion are annoying. The fear that this means I may go deaf paralyzes me. I am worried it might be a type of Meniere's , due to the...

Do those sounds bother you all the time, or does it come and go?

Thank for sharing that, I am going to try and see if it helps me.

No one? Okay that scares me.

My tinnitus comes in cycles and when I have it, it is almost always accompanied by the distortion of certain, but not all, sounds. For instance, when I have loud tinnitus I can walk into a grocery store and the rumbling sound of the airconditioners and the freezers is amplified to me and...

My tinnitus does come and go, some day there is absolutely no tinnitus at all. I have been deaf in my left ear since I was a small child, so I can't really tell if both ears are affected. When I do have my tinnitus I do feel buzzing in my deaf ear so perhaps that means it is bilateral? I have...

Hi! Found this forum and thought I would come say hello. I got tinnitus on June 28th, 2012. It actually began with a strange rumbling sound that I later realized was hearing distortion of certain bass sounds. This appeared after an extremely stressful event. That evening I woke up with my head...
