Concerned About Unusually Long (Up to 45 Minutes) Fleeting Tinnitus Episodes

I’m not trying to be anxious about it. As I’m sure you can understand, it’s hard to deal with symptoms that no one can pinpoint. It’s not in my opinion normal fleeting tinnitus, but maybe it is and I’ve just never experienced this type before. Go figure.

 

I've experienced similar things. Episodes of loud tinnitus, ear fullness, hearing loss. I remember asking the same question on the forum not long ago.

I think that maybe some type of fluid imbalance causes this, too.

I don't have vertigo either.

I also consider a hormonal imbalance. These episodes tend to be more frequent at certain times of the month. Have you noticed that?

 

How long does your hearing loss last during these episodes? And I do know hormones can cause similar shifts as to what you’re describing, yes, but I haven’t seemed to notice a pattern yet. I’ve never had vertigo or dizziness with these episodes but I have been dizzy before, but I believe it’s been completely unrelated.

 

Maybe for a few hours. I remember waking up one day with my hearing affected in one ear. It gradually came back.

@Kmollls, I'm going through something similar now. Ear fullness, high pitched sounds and loud hissing, episodes of fleeting tinnitus. I have the sensation that my hearing will be affected. There's not much I can do about it. Maybe try to keep calm. But I'm not very good at this, as you can see from my profile pic.

 

Yeah I know! I was very worried too, in fact crazily worried. But I learnt it was ok and we’re trying to get that info across to you.

Posts on this very thread are explaining that.

I wish I had have found out early on and not 4 months in.
