- Cause of Tinnitus
- Maybe noise?
I just want to post this, maybe it'll help someone in the future.
2 years ago, around the similar time my tinnitus had started, I was getting a checkup and the doctor had suggested I might have hypothyroidism, where my body doesn't produce enough thyroid.
He recommended getting a blood test but I was terrified, I know its stupid but I just couldn't do it. I stopped going to that doctor and 2 years later, I just find out hypothyroidism is a cause of tinnitus and sometimes ETD, I have both. Also note: I developed visual snow a few months ago and it has somewhat worsened, but it's not as bad as tinnitus and doesn't really bother me.
I read this thread from another person who also had hypothyroid and she had basically the exact same symptoms as me:

I'm not 100% sure if this is even the cause, but I'm going to get tested for it soon... If my tinnitus is still continuing to spike, then it can't be too late right? Also I don't seem to have hearing loss, just tinnitus.
I'll share updates here.
