VERY GOOD UPDATE Spontaneous recovery! Which was one of the likely medical possibilities all along - that no one would voice out loud because, unless there is a tumor or obvious disease, there is no rhyme or reason for the lost hearing in the first place. There is no basis on which to say just...

SOME HAVE NOTICED THAT I TYPED APRIL 35 WHEN I MEANT APRIL 25. I WAS JUST TESTING YOU! BY THE WAY. I STILL HAVE THE DISTINCT DOUBLE TINNITUS. THE OVERALL SWARM OF CICADAS WHICH LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BRAIN THAT I AM SURE MANY OF YOUR ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH. AND A NEW SEPARATE WHITE NOISE...

Woke up April 35 with no hearing in right ear. Audiogy test shows flat lined deaf!

Thanks for your responses. A sudden hearing loss isn't really the topic of this tinnitus board I know but I thought the double tinnitus would be of interest to you all. We all know that only those of us with this tinnitus curse have any idea what it is or what it does to us and how we all have...

Thanks I am going to a second Doctor tomorrow who is an ENT with ear specialty. My other ENT doc is a generalist. MRI should be tomorrow too. Looking to see if something is cutting off the blood supply - oxygen supply. or nerve. I can already see the problems with a "blind side" for...

I am on it. I got to the dr in just a few hours. I have taken 120 mgs already. I will be a shrunken prune soon!

I have had a rabid cicada choir singing in the middle of my head forever. Louder than my vacuum cleaner. Monday morning I woke to find I had lost complete hearing in my right ear. ENT says this happens more often than is known. She sees about one a week. Audiology tests confirmed this and I...

Current Tinittus is as bad as it has ever been. A swarm of very loud angry rabid electronic cicadas in the middle of my head.

Thanks all for your comments and advice. I am off the caffeine so that is done. I am Mr. Camomile (sp) now! It's been two weeks. So I'll let you know if the cicada swarm calms down in a while. I read in high school biology that cicadas were supposed to go away for 17 years or something. I...

I quit caffeine two weeks ago. I must say that I have made that swarm of cicadas in my head really angry. I thought the opposite would happen. I quit the caffeine because of gastro issues. Every uninformed doctor I have talked to in the past has reflexively said to quit the caffeine and...

I do indeed agree with you on something we all are realizing. I do not know the real trigger for my tinnitus. Loud music? Too many anitbiotics as a child? Bad sinus anatomy? Chronic disease side effect? Or is this just another of those variations of normal we all seem to have like...

I describe my T as severe. My hearing tests show me to have lost my "highs" meaning my hearing test audiogram starts at just below normal and then falls off the chart at 8,000 Hrtz. My T sound manifests as a choir of rabid cicadas. But the choir is mostly just the sopranos and altos. Not many...

I am wanting to add to the knowledge of the Tinnitus world. Hopefully I can learn something too. I have tinnitus from hell. I really don't remember not having it. I don't remember having it in my twenties. But I do remember having it in my 30s, 40s and 50s. I am 60 now. I am an accountant...
