Drug, Tinnitis, Iatrogenic Hearing Loss

[Guest guest]

,

Thanks for this info that psyche drugs can cause ringing in the ear.

Do you know the mechanism?

When I took J. to an audiologist for severe ringing in the ear, bone & nerve

conduction hearing loss,

it was my understanding that the ringing was present because there was a

hearing loss-

the lack of nerve conduction caused the ringing as the absence of vibration

of the hair cells in the cochlea and therefore

there was nothing being sent to the auditory nerve to be recieved by the

brain (which lobe I've forgotte 20 years after Nationa Boards) The

audiologist that I'm not going to take him to for the Medicare/Medicaide

surgery

because he said he " thought " one of the ossicles (ear bones) had been broken

during the 17 feet head first fall onto concrete after falling asleep

standing up on Klonopin (sp?) that causes " drowsiness " just didn't make

sense to be to do surgery without an MRI to SEE if there was ossicle damage

before tampering with the tympanic membrane (ear drum). He died for 2 min.

37 seconds and blood was splattered all over the warehouse. He wasn't

expected to live.

He's been on Dioxepin (sp?) for _____ years but after he realized that it

was after this drug that he was having behavior that would give the Mental

Health Center a reason to institutionalize him he took the initiative and

talked to 2 MD's that advised him to contact the prescibing MD and tell him

he was quitting that. That was about 2 weeks ago.

He's quit the soft drinks in the 3 months since I've known him so that

removes the apartame but I don't know until I hear from Betty i of

MIssion Impossible if the aspartame hearing problems are permanent.

It would be interesting to know what is the mechanism whereby a biochemical

agent can cause tinnitis and deafness.

This symptom is of particular interest to me as the first chiropractic

adjustment was done on janitor Harvey Lillard by Palmer on Sept. 18,

1995 and he got his hearing back. I never believed in that story but now I " m

going to see what I can do

before the Dec. appointments with the Brain Injury/Audiologists at UAB

Medical. Looking forward to that appointment with the pain specialist that

has been prescribing a narcotic drug for 10 years and a psychiatric drug

that was causing psychiatic symptoms. He had been scheduling the apts. 6

months apart but when he was informed he was being seen by a D.C. he

scheuled it in 2 months.

People really need to have their case histories and Medical Power of

attorney read to give the nurse and have it in the file before they ever see

a doctor. Most applications have the same informatin on them that you get so

tired of filling out when a patient has to go to many doctors. A generic

application with all the usual info could be prepared and just put " see

attached " next to all the blanks to save yourself a lot of frustration &

aggravation (isn't there a drug to save you from feeling those normal

emotions?).

Every drug she was on can cause tinnitus. And sometimes it's permanent.
