Hypo affecting hearing?

[Guest guest]

I've got a rather strange question (I guess?):

I'm hypo and have had a deep sub-sonic tone or hum in my ears. It

happens ramdomly - not associated with time of day, energy level, or

anything. Has anyone else experienced such a thing???? eeak?

I finally got to see the Endocrinologist last week and I love her! I

mentioned it to her and she said it could be that my goiter is

pressing on my vocal cord setting up a tone. She took me off

Synthroid and put me on Levoxyl 100 mcg for 2 weeks, then 125 mcg for

2 weeks and then 150 mcg for 3 weeks at which point I go back for

bloodwork. She said that a good TSH is 1 and I'm at 5 - not good.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks so much,

Jill

Jill!!!!! Am I reading this right? Your endo said that a GOOD TSH was

1?Hurrah! Looks like you have found the needle in the haystack!

It's called tinnitus, and I've had it since the summer of 1998, with no

solution. I was reading just yesterday---again---that chemical sensitivity

can be very prevalent on this. Then again, there is such a thing as

autoimmune inner ear disease, causing tinnitus, with ear damage. I know

exactly when I was exposed because I had falling-down vertigo with it, for a

period of about 3 wks or so. I almost got into a car accident on account of

it. It started out with the tinnitus, then, when one of my daughter's

called me on the phone, it frightened me because I had tone changes going

on---the ear intercepts sound on a telephone differently from the way it

does out in the open, and she sounded just like Duck to me, or like

someone who has swallowed helium and talks. This one was my realization

that there was a severe problem. A couple of days after that, I rolled

over, after a night's sleep, sat up on the edge of the bed, and fell in the

floor. I was there before I even realized that I had fallen over. The

Mexican fires were burning bright, at that time, rolling tons of smoke all

over Texas, and the Gulf Coast was getting most of it. They had told us to

keep our windows down and stay out of it as much as possible, but here I

was, with my window raised every time I slept. This is what I suspect, but

can't prove. A few months later, I started feeling permanently bad, and I

know that that was when my thyroid began to go into further failure, I just

didn't realize that that was what it was at the time. I can't say that

yours does have anything to do with your thyroid, but it is a cause, as

there are many causes of it. My medical care was very inappropriate.

I simply woke up in Jan 1991 with tinnitus. No other symptoms, etc. Had my hearing checked with no damage showing. Still have the tinnitus.

I think that I never really found out what was causing it because of lack of the right testing, i.e., lack of insurance, plus the doctors in this area are totally ignorant of any connection of this sort to thyroid disease. ly, I was too, at the time. It was terrifying because I didn't know what was happening to me or where to go for the right treatment. I found out that what I SHOULD have had was an MRI on head and neck. I think that many things went into the making of the tinnitus. It's lovely when you have to create "white noise" to sleep. When I'm laying down, it is synchronous with my heart beat.

My tinnitus is exactly the same way.. the only way that I can sleep is to have a fan running in the room, year round... It's not bad around the computers.. the fan noises from them mask the noise nicely.

I had read a couple of years ago that it would go away with proper meds... but no luck for me so far....

I'm still hopeful though, after all my leg hairs came back nice and shinny.... hehehehehe

I am hopeful too, but from everything I read about inner ear damage, it can be just that, in this case. The inner ear parts, namely the cochlea and surrounding parts can receive so much environmental abuse until they stiffen. Whether this is permanent or not, I can't seem to find out, and the information is vague, other than there are now surgeries to replace or help some of these inner ear parts. (((Sigh))). Wouldn't it be nice?

Jill,

I read somewhere that once thyroid replacement is initiated, the healing that

starts to

take place in the ears can cause intermittent tinnitus. I don't know if this

would apply

to someone who has continual tinnitus and with this, maybe something else is

going

on. But I know I had rare instances of it when I started Synthroid but it

became more

frequent when I got on Armour. Now it's rare and is a sign to me that I need an

increase. My episodes last only 2-5 seconds in varying intensities.

Hmmmm, after reading all of these emails what about Vertigo?? Could

my vertigo be caused by my thyroid troubles I have had for so many

years??

[Guest guest]

Did you read the mail that I wrote yesterday on my vertigo? I never

knew what caused it, but that IS when that happened, right after a

few days of the tinnitus. Are you having vertigo right now, or over

the past few days or weeks? Do you see things moving in a rotary

motion from left to right, or the opposite direction? When you walk

outside in the dark, do you have the sensation of a bouncing

environment, like when your body moves up and down, so does the

environment? Are you having nausea with this? It can be a real

nightmare.

Hello , have had vertigo for so many years. See a neurologist

once a year for it and take meclazine for it which does not help.

Anyway, I had my thyroid removed in 1996, had vertigo before then

but had thyroid problems way before I was diagnosed. So I think its

related. I do things like I will be setting at a stop light, and all

the other cars setting there to, and it will look like they are

moving when they aren't, and I am lightheaded every single second of

the day, the room spins, and have terrible nausea but the Dr.

prescribed me compazine which has been a God sent for the nausea,

works great. And my ears ring once in a while. But its mainly the

vertigo, MISERABLE!

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!!! I LOVE THIS GROUP!!

You all make me feel " normal " and I can't thank you all enough. I

too have had a couple days of what-I-now-know-is-Tinnitus and then a

couple days of feeling VERY unsteady on my feet and didn't know what

the heck was happening to me. #1 - it's good to know that the

Tinnitus is assocatied with Hashimoto's. #2 - it's good to know that

the unsteadiness is associated with Tinnitus. It's all making sense

now and I could just cry! Now I can deal with it and know that it's

an occasional 'thang which helps tons! Thank you so very much!!

For me, the greater part of the vertigo was back in '98 for several wks,

then lesser for a couple of months. Now, I have subtle abnormalities, like

a full feeling on the left side, when I look up to the sky, straight up, I

almost fall over. My eyes will also move horizontally, if I'm looking at

something moving by me too fast. Noone else knows the difference, but I do.

The earringing has been there and never left me. Regardless of whether

we're supposed to take them or not, I do take pseudoepedrine to shrink the

blood vessels in sinuses and ears, and believe it or not, it seems to help.

What's strange is that NO antihistamine I've ever taken (allegra, claritin,

none of them) has seemed to help this problem, so how can it be allergic in

origin, like the ear doctor said that it " probably " was. I just think it's

strange that the decongestant helps it. I'm wondering if it's not a blood

vessel problem that " feeds " the parts of the inner ear. I have never found

a real solution for this.

It makes it ever so much easier to handle something when you know that

it's real, not in your head and that someone understands what the heck it

is that you are talking about - that's for sure...

I remember when I first started with all of this, I thought that I was

going insane.. and everyone around me was starting to think it too, I

swear... I'd be hot, their cold... I'm eating again.... (I went into

thyroid storm).. that after the RAI and my body started being 'normal'

for the first time in my life.. I thought it was weird and I'd be asking

folks and then they KNEW I was nuts.. then I went hypo.. then I was nuts

all over again... Even now, after 15 years my family members still don't

get it...

We need each other here... to just maintain sanity!!! hehehehehe

Yep, I say rest easy, Topper, because my kids, who are all grown, still

think I'm nuts for all of this. And two of them, who have Hashi's, do not

feel good, but, of course, it couldn't be their thyroids, could it?

.. do you mean the plain ole little red ones? I used to take them all

the time.. then stopped when I found out how bad they are for anyone....

Thinking back.. I'm gonna say that the tinnitis got worse after stopping

those.. but then it was also around that same time that I was working in

a very noisy factory... and about a year into it they suddenly decided

that maybe we should wear ear protection.... Hmmmmmmmm

Hello , I have gotten very little feedback from Dr.'s about

vertigo. They seem to know little about it. I cannot drive everyday

which is a pain, I hate that, but days the vertigo is bad I stay

home because I am so dizzy and lightheaded and off balance. Anyone,

one Dr. said its caused from the inner ear, the theory is to much

fluid there so a decongestant would help, been on them and they

never helped my dizziness. So I just live with it.

Yes, pseudoephedrine of any brand, but, of course, they are always red, for

some reason. Nothing like that is safe if taken too often, but this is the

only thing that would ever help it to some degree. I've had to stop taking

them, though, because they are not good in other ways. Way back during the

worst part of the vertigo, I took Benadryl and then Meclazine, but both put

me to sleep.

Since joining this group, so many things make sense. I have thought of

things that I haven't thought of in years. For instance, in high school,

after attending classes everyday for months, at a certain time of day, I

would forget which class was next. Just so many things are making sense. I

want to thank you all for just posting things. I don't feel so weird

anymore. It's not me...it's my thyroid.

Amazing, isn't it? And SOOOO much easier to handle when you understand

that it's an imbalance and that you can correct it, now that you

understand.

That's why and I started this group, and why we're working on this

web site (will be announcing the big opening soon) To help more folks

find out what it is they've been struggling with for so many years. Once

you know, understand, realize what all the stuff that you've been dealing

with are signals from your body, telling you what was wrong... trying to

ask for help... and when we know what to do, things get better... life

returns!!!!

....whew.... good thing I never get excited! hehehehe
