I have seen a few posts that talk about hiding the fact that you're suffering with T from co-workers or even friends. I agree 100% with Kar4's observation that others like happy people, not people who complain, however I have noticed many times that when I do share, the result is that I wind up...

So ironic that the big parties that are difficult to attend with hearing issues are always advertised as "Ringing in the New Year" :)

That's amazing Dana, no misinterpreting "that’s when I notice the ringing in my ears". Since it's not something that comes up in normal conversation, I always wonder how many other people in the room have this same problem, because I know statistically there have to be some. I was born in...

What great replies! Sounds like there are some real artists among us, great suggestions on the the structure, I hadn't thought through any of that. I have no idea if he actually has it, I just hear his voice/style in my head when I read it so that's why I mentioned him. I can't even imagine...

What it might sound like if Eminem had tinnitus??? :cool: "No one can hear it we fear that they think we are crazy or lazy or just cannot manage the issue I wish you could hear this for even a minute you’d witness the noise every second and hour the shower a respite that drowns out the sound...

Hi Smeyeln, I liked your last comment about focusing on the ridiculousness of this affliction, I do the same. I, too, try to define this as the 'new normal' as a way of making it ok, as well as constantly reminding myself of how many worse things could happen. Of all the things that could go...

Hi Lorac, Thank you for the information about the Epley Maneuver. Believe it or not I have never come across it in my research and no doctor has ever mentioned it to me. I've already watched a youtube video about it and will continue to research. When this all originally happened I did go to...

Aaron - Thank you for the link to the dizziness websites! I see that one is in Chicago which is a nice short plane ride from there, but would be well worth it, checking out the websites now, thanks again. -Mike

Hi again all. I wanted to check back and share my updates in case anyone else can benefit from the info or has a similar story to share. Background is 100% unexplained left-side hearing loss 2+ years ago resulting in loud T in that ear and mild T in the other ear and dizziness. (Much of this...

I haven't found information yet on expectations for commercial availability of TMS for T. Not sure how/why they would leave that information out of all of these articles as it is the next logical question from any sufferers reading the information.

Hi Pkraw - I haven't experienced traditional discrete M attacks, I just have constant dizziness and a head spinning feeling. I feel fortunate because I've read that those attacks can be very severe. I tried steroid injections when this first happened, to try to reduce supposed swelling and...

Just wanted to be sure everyone saw this! Quiet that ringing in the brain: New drug promises relief from epilepsy and tinnitus with fewer side effects A new drug may treat epilepsy and prevent tinnitus by selectively affecting potassium channels in the brain, UConn neurophysiologist Anastasios...

Attheedgeofscience - THANK YOU for sharing that video. They didn't go into too much detail about the what's and why's but very inspiring. If nothing else it led me to look at a number of additional auto-immune related videos on youtube. The question I keep coming back to is, after multiple...

I thought I would post my most recent results in case they can benefit others on the board. After loud, steady, high frequency T started in my right ear, I went the next day to an urgent care doc to get a course of steroids and an anti-viral, as that was the approach taken when it happened on...

For no apparent reason last evening, the same high-pitched tinnitus present in my left ear started in the right. The left ear suffered 100% hearing loss and I have thus far retained excellent hearing in the right. Apart from the annoyance this is now causing and obstructed hearing, my only...

Cullen - I just checked in and saw your post, thank you. You are 100% correct. I have ready the indicators for Menieres and that's exactly what I have, although my ENT stopped short of saying it. Sudden inability to stand, extreme nausia, dizziness, "fullness" in the head, loud constant...

Hi Tenna - I noticed our start dates were nearly identical. Wondering how you're doing?

Hi Tenna - I guess you're right, getting an injection in the ear and saying "Thank you sir, may I have another" could be considered badass :) It seems like the research for a partial or total cure has ramped up fairly recently. I have been reading about work at the University of TX and just...

I know what you mean Owch, I have a beautiful Yamaha electric violin sitting here that I was looking forward to learning to play but it looks like that is on hold for a while. Should have practiced while I had the chance! :)

Hey James - Thank you for your kind reply. I'm at the point of actually accepting that this is now reality and looking for ways to make the best of it. My right ear is still good as new and the 5 ENTs that I visited all told me the same thing, "We don't know what caused it or what to do about...

Packy, thanks for your messages. I agree about the lack of awareness. As a coping tool, I just keep reminding myself of how many much worse maladies there are and how I didn't get any of them. I know it would be better to not have any, but given something terminal or physically disabling...

Hi everyone, I just logged in again after posting last week; apart from feeling very grateful for the thoughtful replies, I was also saddened to see six new people introducing themselves to the board…I think we'd all like to see no more people need the forum. Per - Yes, the 100% hearing loss...

Hi all - "Sudden and unexplained hearing loss" is what they are calling what happened to me about 5 months ago. I am a 45 y/o white male, otherwise perfectly health. Approximately 1 month prior to 'the incident' I got a high pitched ringing in my left ear along with dizziness to the point...
