estrogen and tinnitus

2002) Advancing age may also be accompanied by inner ear damage and tinnitus. Many medications also can cause tinnitus (see list below). Generally this is thought to arise from their effect on the cochlea (inner ear).

If Zoloft curbs stress and anxiety, and stress aggravates tinnitus, there may be just a cause and effect relationship, and not necessarily a medical relationship between the two. I'm sure other health factors could be involved as well.

(I am new to all this) From what I have read, Graves disease is hyper and hyper seems to cause pulsatile tinnitus, while hypo seems to cause constant tinnitus. In the case of the pulsatile, in some cases a physician can hear it with a stethoscope, due to the blood flow increase. Very interesting how thyroid is somehow connected to the auditory nerves. The ENT I went to never even mentioned this to me. Amazing how this is so overlooked.

I have had a thyroid issue for 9 years and I have dealt with Tinnitus on and off throughout. Last night I woke up with major ringing in my left ear and I would say a 25% loss in hearing. I went to the doctor this morning they do believe it may be caused by the Thyroid since I am way off still on my labwork results. Also, I do notice and I don't know if this is part of it but when I drink alcohol I tend to get the ringing that night and last night I had a glass of wine while out.

But after ruling those out with help from my friends who heard nothing either in or outside of my house, I did some online research and found out that there IS a link between hypothyroidism and tinnitus AND the kind of medication used. I have been on Levothyroxin for 5 years and have never had a problem with it. So I cold-turkeyed and the ringing continued. Yesterday I started on Armour and the ringing dropped by about half in the first 24 hours.

Does Tensor Tympani Muscle have any problem and causes hissing and roaring tinnitus in some cases because of muscle tension. And does it cause pressure fullness, ear pain, jaw pain? If i have problem with my inner ear, why should have pain in jaw? In my case jaw pain happens because of middle ear problems.

Try valsalva maneuver (take a deep breath and blow while pinching your nostrils shut and closing your mouth). Tinnitus can also be a psychological problem. Hence get a psychiatric assessment too. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

What you PROBABLY have is a bad case of tinnitus. Tinnitus is the ringing you're hearing and it is associated with loss of hearing, depression, and sleep disturbances. The pain is probably caused by hyperacusis, which is another condition that sometimes comes with tinnitus and makes you very sensitive to noise. There is no "cure" for tinnitus, but there are treatments. Eating healthy, exercising, keeping busy, and reducing stress can help.

I worked for a non-profit for 7 years that serviced hard of hearing and deaf persons. Tinnitus was something we dealt with and it was non-reversible. HOWEVER. A number of the conditions we experience on treatment seem to reverse when the drugs stop. As in nygirl's situation, I hope the same for you. What I'm thinking is that it's yet another reason to keep hgb up in reasonable numbers. That's what I'm thinking, anyway.

Hepatic encephalopathy is not necessarily associated with blood ammonia levels. HE is diagnosed by symptoms. Tinnitus and face numbness are not symptoms of HE. Also , HE from liver disease is a symptom of end stage liver disease and cirrhosis . Undoubtedly, you would have other indications of advanced liver disease HE is not usually the first presentation. I’ve had cirrhosis for 12 years. I have a low platelet count due to portal hypertension and lower leg edema.

Hello I am 28 years old and this is what is going on. I have been sick on and off for the past 2 months, on March 5th my body gave up and my husband took me to the ER where they diagnosed me with pneumonia. Was put on antibiotics for 5 days and cough medication.

I have tinnitus for almost 2 months now along with ear ache and ear popping when I swollow. I was tested for allergies and have pet allergies and seasonal allergies.

No one can tell me how to stop the continual buzz in my head that started 10.24.11 and has NOT stopped since. Antibiotics and anxiety meds dont help. The ENT said it was tinnitus. (wow, i developed tinnitus with an acute onset????) THere are tons of people posting on the web asking the same question you do.....why isnt anyone getting any answers????

I have also had the ringing in my ears for about the last 6 months. It was driving me nuts, couldn't hear anyone talking to me, with background noise, and still had trouble in silence, trying to discern what was being said. Went to my neuro, and described what was going on, he sent me to an ENT. Had the complete going over including the test in the "booth" .

m responding to your post about ringing in the ears and anxiety. The term is tinnitus and it is a sound sensation of ringing that is only perceived by the person with tinnitus. I've had it for years myself and it's difficult to deal with on many days but it is also manageable. I find it comes on more when I feel anxiety coming on and am stressed or tired. It is also associated with hearing loss (mild or more) which is typically an inner ear damage issue.

i've had tinnitus for over a year now, it just appeared out of nowhere with this weird feeling, i can't really describe it it's just weird, like nothing seems real and im a bit dizzy.
