Patrick, Not silly at all! Usually an acoustic neuroma. They are extremely slow growing and usually benign (nothing is typically done about...
That's fine. I doubt you will be playing it long enough to affect you in any way. :) and it's usually high volumes that do the damage.
An audiology student-- half way through my graduate classes :)
I agree with all of the above posts. When I'm looking for a patient's MML, we do each side separately, then binaural. Usually, binaural is a...
Acoustic neuromas are very uncommon. If you couldn't already tell from the responses. :P I too have unilateral tinnitus, and other signs of one,...
I'm a second year Doctor of Audiology student. Hearing aids will not damage your hearing. For loud situations they do not amplify nearly as much,...
The OAE machine at my school is wacky, sometimes it shows normal OAEs and other times damage. We are getting a new one soon though so I can't wait...
That sounds horrible! Did you have a VEMP or VNG done? I saw the other tests you mentioned in the first post, but didn't see those!
Do you feel like you or the room is spinning, or do you just feel off balance?
My ENT and neurologist thinks it's all placebo effect. In my Audiology magazine subscriptions, we are always told to be weary of Lipos (and any...
You can most certainly have tinnitus without having hearing loss! Hearing loss is just the strongest correlated thing to tinnitus (in most cases).
I keep redoing my OAE because the machine is so faulty. I get wacky results all the time. I'm going to an ENT where I'm from soon and he said his...
UB has support groups if this doesn't work out. They don't meet too often, though.
It never hurts to have a scan anyway, especially with unilateral tinnitus; however, I don't think you have one either. I present with the same...
I have not, but that doesn't mean others haven't too. If you haven't already, I would see an ENT about the dizziness that follows the fuzzy...
Hey B! First off-- you're right. Noise induced hearing loss or damage happens in high frequencies-- usually around 4kHz. You probably didn't...
My neurologist tried convincing me I get migraines, then proceeded to explain that migraines and tinnitus go hand in hand. He told me at the time...
I know it may seem that way, but I think the fact that you tried a different beer may have just oddly coincided with your tinnitus. (However,...
Hi! Funny I came across this post, since I try not to sign in too frequently anymore, but I have tinnitus in one ear and just got back from the...
Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried taking cyclandelate to alleviate some tinnitus. I came up with the idea, which I will...
No. I don't think so. Maybe a temporary threshold shift, but it's such a short amount of time (what, 20 seconds?) that I don't think permanent...
This actually makes me upset that my neurologist did not give me a script for a MRI (I'm in the US). My tinnitus is unilateral. I believe just...
I'm sorry. I know it's frustrating and sounds hard to believe now, but it will certainly get easier. :) Chin up! Is your other ear/new sound...
Hi @applewine ! Sorry I didn't reply any sooner. I'm definitely going for a second opinion at some point, it may just have to be later rather...
I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time! It is definitely a hard adjustment at first for many people. Are you struggling with both...
Hi Luke! Welcome. I'm a firm believer in trying not to listen for it necessarily! I know I personally want to be in control of my tinnitus, and...
One theory of tinnitus is that it's your brain overcompensating for the absence of sound that would be there had the person have normal hearing....
I guess just the whole thing. I'm still a little skeptical since I'm nervous and new to tinnitus, and I'm apprehensive to try something that may...
Thanks @applewine ! The only reason why I'm a little apprehensive is because I was doing lody body stretching, but hey you really never know!!!...
It's almost always one sound and one tone. :) In just 3 days it will be one month-- eek! So what type of therapy/resolutions are out there for...
Hi! I'm the same way-- I get very paranoid about everything I hear because of my tinnitus too. I think a lot of us can relate to you in that way....
Hi everyone! I had my follow up appointment with my neurologist today, who originally thought I was having tinnitus due to a hyperactive brain...
Hey! Don't be scared, it's okay, so many people have tinnitus yet only 1 in every 10 (Americans) seek help for it. You should definitely see a...
Yonkapin had a very thorough response. If all of those things remained constant, ie same audiologist in the same test booth, there are two ideas...
I think I had an acute vascular insufficiency while stretching and am now left with tinnitus!
Many reputable sources say there's a correlation between smoking cigarettes and tinnitus; however, there will always be some variability since...
Many companies offer musician plugs which are wonderful. I have many patients who are happy with them. They are pricey, but there is a filter in...
Is it only when you're listening to them? I'm assuming they're speakers, not headphones right? My old old tv used to send off a very soft high...
Hey all, So my tinnitus is constant. Before, I would get fleeting tinnitus every once in a while (like once, twice a year) for a few seconds....
I'll let you know! I'm taking a 9 hour Amtrak trip in two days! And then back in a few days after that. :P
Look into sound desensitization therapy for the hyperacusis. :) Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions!
I personally haven't heard of any such things, however it's not a topic that I've looked into. Wish I could have been more of a help!
Hi all! I haven't checked it out yet, but in the latest issue of Audiology Today they talk about diff apps to connect with your patients. One of...
Hello! For tinnitus, most people just habituate to it over time. They almost tend to forget it's even there-- similar to if someone is living...
Everything will be okay! Try to break the stress/sad cycle. Is there something that always relaxes you, or something you enjoy so much that you...
Hi Kenny! Glad to hear you're coping well and welcome! Keep us posted with the neuro-- hope your appt goes well. :)
Thanks so much! I will! And yes isn't it all so fascinating?
Thank you!!! When I'm procrastinating studying for finals I will definitely watch this video!! :) I'm super interested!
Cool! Thanks for the feedback! Glad to see it's providing relief.
Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply and support! Haha, I mainly said my age just because I wanted people to know I'm early in the AuD program and I...
I love the silence. Just laying in bed with the silence after a long day is absolutely amazing (in my opinion.) I really do miss it so much, since...
YAY Hi Karen, thanks for reading!! :) It's really nice to have people who can relate to you. My University has support groups but they only meet...
Yes! I am literally doing the same exact thing as well-- trying to actively habituate. I think you and I both just really need to do our best to...
I was (and still secretly am) interested in trying lipoflavinoids -- I asked my neurologist about it and he said he thinks it's a waste of...
You will make it through. Some days are going to be harder than others, but that's for anyone-- with or without tinnitus. Just remember, chin up,...
Hi Dr Nagler! I know that the auditory system is highly vascularized... with that being said, I think I may have had an acute vascular...
Hi everyone! As long as I have tinnitus, and even probably after I have tinnitus (hopefully, and you will see why I say this) I plan to be...
