[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. I’m sorry you are going through this. I have some hearing loss and tinnitus that I’ve had for several years but it’s only become a serious problem in the last 2-3 years. I had an MRI and all the tests but they all came back negative. MRIs are costly and time consuming so I suspect drs are reluctant to order them but it did give me peace of mind.

Have you considered hearing aids? I am looking at them right now, mainly because of the tinnitus. The audiologist told me she had patients who had it so bad that they were suicidal but the hearing aid helped a lot. [/quote]

I might consider a hearing aid. My hearing loss is on one side, which is why they wanted to test me for the neuroma. I want to find the reason first so I can prevent losing more hearing.

As I think back, I’ve had problems with the right side of my neck and my right ear for decades. Doctors have told me it’s nothing. But my dysautonomia causes low brain blood flow and maybe that destroyed my auditory nerve.

To answer the person above: I am a woman.

In my 30s, one doctor told me I was too young to have problems. The problem I saw her about is related to what’s happening now.

So, my gender and the medical world not listening contributed to my deafness.

I have tinnitus but I have found focusing on it 100% makes my brain bored and then I “forget” the tinnitus. This works for me.

Others have found relief by sticking out their tongue or clenching their jaw to reduce or eliminate tinnitus, because of how those actions may affect fusiform cells. I read this in an article about Susan Shore, who is researching a cure for tinnitus at Michigan. This does not help me but maybe it will help someone else here. [/quote]
