Ear Fullness and Tinnitus Spike

[Hex]

@Hex
I really hope things settle for you, but they guys have offered some great insight above.

My ear fullness has settled, and no nasty spikes either (touch wood).

Given that tinnitus is essentially generated by the brain, some neurologists have an interest in it. The one I saw was certainly knowledgeable and interested, but frustrated that he couldn't help more.

I was in touch with Prof. Dirk De Ridder of TRI, and he suggested low dose naltrexone. Unfortunately, this neurologist didn't want to prescribe it for me, but I'm going to find a prescriber and give it a try.

I hope you feel better soon.

I'm glad your ear fullness has settled! How's your T doing now? Is it back to normal? I came across this when looking up LDN https://www.ldnscience.org/resources/interviews-patients/sue-christiance-autoimmune-hearing-loss

It's frustrating not knowing what the cause is!

Yes, everything has settled, thanks for asking.
Tinnitus has actually been quieter overnight and in the morning and I haven't used masking in three days... weird. I don't get it, but I try not over-analyse it.
Thanks for that link, I had a read! Very interesting. I don't have auto-immune hearing loss, but I'm still going to give it a shot!
hope things settle for you soon....

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 lay off the salt!
