@SarahMLFlemmer, I got to sleep about 4 am today and woke up to nasty static primarily in my left ear. I seemed fine last night. I will probably have the left jaw surgery to see if it quiets down that side. Life is short and I don’t wan’t to wake up to this static every day. I do wear Widex hearing aids at times.

Do the hearing aids help you?

They seemed to help a lot today. I have the Widex Zen Moment. You have to get them programmed by your hearing aid provider. They cost about $3,000. It’s a bit involved programming because of the background sounds and the hearing amplification. All done through a computer.

Mayo is a great place to be!

@SarahMLFlemmer, Mayo Rochester tends to be conservative regarding surgeries. When I tore my ACL years ago they had me wearing a brace. I later had ACL reconstruction done elsewhere as my knee was popping out too often. I just woke up with significant noise in my left ear. I’m not sure what Mayo Rochester will do. Doctor in Arkansas thinks surgery is necessary but he would be out of network.

Maybe!

@Daniel Lion, Thank you my friend. The hissing is blaring in my left ear and I don’t like it. I was suppose to hear from the TMJ surgeon from Mayo Rochester by now. I don’t think he’ll do anything even with a referral. I’m trying my mouthpiece with no results. Left TMJ doesn’t hurt much but is abnormal.

No. There is no good reason why you should not always use a proper helmet when on a motorcycle. A helmet saved my life when I T-boned a car that had stalled in the middle of an intersection. You have NO protection on a motorcycle w/o a helmet on, and they don't put too much strain on your neck. That doesn't happen.

I always wear a 3/4 helmet. Using your head as a helmet doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Wow. idkw no numbing given to me; very painful :( I wish it gave you some relief to get by on. So much energy running around trying to get help, holding onto hope. I understand. @just1morething

@Daniel Lion, I think I’ll have a pizza instead of a burger - buddy Daniel. High of 96 yesterday and today. A little hot for motorcycles. Noise is a problem today. I wish I could put it behind me.

I had this, which resulted in unusual reaction then few hours severely spiked my T for days. The person rushed w/ it, jabbing the needle repeatedly at the back of neck w/o numbing first. Felt like stabbing that was quite painful. Was it painful for you? @just1morething

@sakrt, It was a little painful but I had numbing IV. I’m back to my left ear static again. :( I don’t want to live with this noise the rest of my life. Mayo Rochester TMJ surgeon was suppose to get back to me after my referral, but my first visit with him didn’t go too well

I'm sorry @just1morething I don't want to live with mine either. So tired of it. Any wildlife news at your place lately?

Would like to hear a follow up on this one. Best of luck.

@gameover, My left ear didn’t get much better today. Right now my left ear has a loud electronic sound that is very unpleasant. I can’t really function well enough to work on my projects. TMJ surgeon in Arkansas thinks my bone on bone left TMJ is causing my noise. He said Dr. Jonathan Fillmore at Mayo Rochester is capable of replacing my TMJ with a prosthetic.

@gameover, You could have your TMJ checked out in your worst affected ear. I can make my left side crunch but it still functions well for eating. I thought originally my tinnitus was from an airplane barotrauma years ago that caused fluid in my left ear. I hope we both can rid ourselves of this tormenting condition. My noise is about talking volume atm.

Zero jaws problems ever. Like never. No clicking, pain, nothing. Or any other health problems ever for that matter. I killed my ears with noise. At least you have some avenue to pursue.

Poop.

@SarahMLFlemmer, I hope you are doing better. I’m still looking to hear from Mayo Rochester regarding my left jaw. The day after the Dr. Prescribed Zolpidem at my request I had a very normal day. He said I had to promise to use my Bi-Pap every night.

I just read that Sinead O’Conner recently passed away. I believe I’ve heard her name but that’s all I know of her…tragic news if you were a fan.

I had a nap and woke up with hissing in my left ear. I would love to be rid of this noise. Waking up always triggers my noise. Ordering a custom made left TMJ would take about 3 months.

Lol @just1morething , I asked @tpj the same thing to— if that was her picture. Guess we all curious to see how she looks!

I get static in my left ear too, but only when I open my mouth next to an AC or runnin water, usually. Strange.

Same.

My noise always starts out on my worn jaw side. Maybe there is inflammation? It does not really hurt but doesn’t feel like my normal right side.

I couldn't tell ya. =|

You sound like you're having a day like me. Today isn't a good day for noises.

It makes me emotionally and mentally tired too. Hang in there!

@SarahMLFlemmer, My tinnitus is really loud in my left ear again. I still think it’s related to my left jaw. I feel bad for you if your tinnitus was caused by Accutane. Is your noise in both ears?

@just1morething Good morning! My T is now loud in my right ear instead of my left. I thought my T at first was only in my left but it's in both now. So many people I've met who took Accutane have T now, it's obvious what the culprit is. =(

Mine is the opposite today! Ha ha. It's usually louder in my left. Not today.

Yeah the jaw surgeon might be thinking about himself. One surgeon told me that jaw replacement surgery can be very lucrative. My right ear acted up last night which was abnormal. It’s still blaring this morning.

I fell asleep and now my left ear is making weirdish noises and makes me feel a little dizzy. I’m not positive it my bad jaw causing these noises.

I woke up to a weird beep and distortion but it only lasted 10 seconds.
