Influence of Blood Glucose Level on Tinnitus?

[IvanRus]

Hello! For the last few days, I've abused sugar and carbohydrates (I ate a lot of sweet stuff - bananas, apples, chocolate).

Apparently, the level of glucose in the blood has increased, and this has a negative effect on hearing.

At night, I woke up with a mouthful of dryness in my mouth (this is also an indicator of increased sugar).

All would be nothing, but today I was squeaking in my ear as a prophylaxis and in my opinion it did not go through on TV.

What do you think?

I am having trouble understanding the sentence above. If you were cleaning your ears, what does it have to do with a TV?!

I believe when you wrote "as a prophylaxis" you meant "profilaktika" in Russian. If this is the case, next time you might want to use the word "prevention".

Or were you exposing your ears to some noise? Then why did you bring up a TV?

I meant that I gave the sweet one for the last few days. Had thirst and dry mouth, as, apparently, the level of glucose rose in the blood. But today in the ear there was an uncharacteristic high squeak for a few seconds .. and whether he went through to the end I do not understand .. I shamed her with the sound that usually happens during a break on the television "piiii". and in general, I read that diabetic patients often suffer from hearing ...

You were saying that you heard a squeaking sound in your ear, and you are pretty sure it did not come from the TV, right?

You are worried about diabetes symptoms you have been having, and one of those symptoms is a possible new tinnitus sound.

I know exactly how you feel! About a year ago, I even bought a device to measure my blood sugar (normally only people who had been diagnosed with diabetes buy these devices). I am happy with my purchase. Whenever I start getting concerned about a possible diabetes symptom, I don't have to go to a doctor to get referred for a blood test, I can do the test on the spot and set my mind at ease.

As for the new sound - it sounds like it was temporary, and you don't hear it anymore. I am sure that if T were a common diabetes symptom, we would hear a lot more often about it.

Hello my friend. Today I sat with a smartphone in my hands and went to YouTube. Accidentally turned on the video, and the sound was at the maximum on the smartphone. There was no headphones. A smartphone is about half a meter from the ears. but I was a little scared. Can a Db give out a smartphone? I enclose the video ..

This is the kind of experience that all of us have at one time or another. If you were to be wearing headphones, it would be a major event - you would experience a second acoustic trauma. Since you were lucky and were not wearing headphones, the worst that can happen is a spike for the rest of the day (or, in the worst case scenario, for several days).

Be more careful next time, and set the volume of all of your devices to medium.

Hey. Still such question on a splash of noise (it seems, it is time to wear earplugs all the time outdoors). I walked along the road in the suburbs and a passenger car without a muffler passed by me. He roared greekly, and at a low frequency. Even the earth shook a little. How I hate this idiot that I was driving ... I immediately got a pinch in my ear. I came home, drank NAC and benzodiazepine. How dangerous is this? I'm really worried.

 

[Bill Bauer]

Sorry I couldn't reply earlier.

It sounds like the sort of a thing that would give one a three-day spike. Is your spike over now?

 

[IvanRus]

Friends, do you follow your blood glucose level? Are among you those who have it increased?

I've been eating a lot of sweet lately, since I'm nervous. And in the morning I woke up with dry mouth and thirst. It can also from SSRIs. But I'm worried that an elevated blood sugar level can affect hearing. Tomorrow I will check the sugar at home with my mother's blood glucose meter. VAS is a short-term "pressure drop" in the ear, and a brief squeak both from the TV? What do you think?

I know I'm a year or so late coming into this discussion, but diabetes & high blood sugar has been shown to be linked to hearing loss and tinnitus. I'm pretty sure that's what's been going on with me and my rollercoaster tinnitus.. And if you're waking up in the morning with a thirst that doesn't go away you really should monitor yourself for diabetes.

diabetes & high blood sugar has been shown to be linked to hearing loss and tinnitus.

I've noticed there's not a lot of discussion about blood sugar levels on this forum, even though it's long been known to affect tinnitus--even cause it. I'll likely be getting a blood sugar measuring device soon so I can monitor myself better than I have. -- Just ran across an article this morning on how intermittent fasting can go a long way toward improving our blood sugar levels: -- Intermittent Fasting Instead of Insulin for Type 2 Diabetes

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• Type 2 diabetes is rooted in insulin resistance and faulty leptin signaling, caused by chronically elevated insulin and leptin levels. In other words, it's a diet-derived condition
• Treating Type 2 diabetes with insulin is one of the worst things you can do, and can even lead to the development of irreversible insulin-dependent diabetes in some cases
• Diabetic patients who did 24-hour fasting three times a week or every other day were able to stop taking insulin within a month. They also lost 10 to 18 percent of their body weight
• In another trial, Type 2 diabetics placed on a severely restricted calorie diet where they ate just 600 calories a day for eight weeks were disease-free by the end of the fasting program
• A partial fasting diet has also been shown to regenerate the pancreas by promoting the generation of insulin-producing beta cells (cells that detect sugar in your blood and release insulin if blood sugar levels get too high)

I was going to make a post suggesting that people measure their blood sugar during their spikes (and at times without spikes)...

I think that's a very good idea. If you think of it, please tag me if you make that post. -- Thanks!

@Lane Pre testing to suspect a blood sugar change - frequent urination - increased thirst - dry mouth. There's others such as a headache or blurred vision, but they are common with tinnitus.

We could post many pages of discussion on how blood sugar levels associate with health and multiple conditions. Much which can correlate with tinnitus. So many others factors can as well which can relate to development of T, increased T and spikes.
