Low-Pitched Ringing in the Right Ear and High-Pitched Ringing in My Head

[nosiukas]

Hello,

My tinnitus started 2015-03-01. Its been constant since then. My main symptoms:

• Headaches.
  
• High-pitched continues ringing in the head.
• Low-pitched ringing in the right ear. (sometimes in the morning; otherwise I can provoke it by pressing ear canal)
• Dizziness and weakness.

I have been looked at by numerous doctors that have found:

• No hearing loss.
  
• TMJD, but... I was told that my ringing cannot be caused by it.
• Various join inflammations.
  
• Prostatitis.
• Depression and anxiety attacks.
• MRI is good.
• I do not have anaemia.
• I do not have Meniere's disease. (I am still to have VNG, though I do not have other symptoms such as hearing loss or vertigo)

I have been prescribed antidepressants (Effexor) to alleviate perception of tinnitus. Otherwise, I am taking acetyl-l-carnitine, B complex, C, D, magnesium, calcium.

To some extent, I got used to tinnitus. My main problem is dizziness and weakness, which as far as I understand, is the direct result of tinnitus itself. I would appreciate suggestions for further research (or what doctors to see).

I don't think dizziness and weakness are usually a result of tinnitus.

It seems you have had thorough testing. Sometimes the cause will remain unknown and no good treatment is found.

I would focus my efforts on trying to find what causes the dizziness, weakness and headaches. Maybe they are treatable... but maybe not.

I have gone to an otoneurologist today who inspected me for Meniere's disease. She confirmed that I do not have it, nor any other visible reason for me to have tinnitus. However, I have been referred to have a massage therapy by another neurologist. I had my first massage today, during which an odd thing happened. As the masseur was working my back he touched something that made my tinnitus very loud for a few minutes... is that even possible?

How have you been? To me that's GREAT news because it sounds like yours can be worked out somehow. You have a physical component.
