Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I was told that ringing in the ears and having stopped up ears is a problem with adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism. My niece was just diagnosed with acoustic neuroma NF II. This also causes ear problems and I was wondering how to know if you should get an MRI or not. If the HC is clearing up the ear problem most of the time, then do you know it is definitely not anacoustic neuroma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Finally something I really have knowledge on. I was born with holes in my ears, no eardrums. Had to be reconstructed at the age of 6. My specialist told me that an EMG test would identify whether or not you had a balance problem and an MRI will define whether or not you have an accoustic neuroma. I had both tests done. Me because of my repetitive ear surgeries throughout my life. He recommmends that I keep tubes in my ears because it improves drainage in my ears and should help me mainatin my balance which is out of kilter because of an abnomality in one of my ears. I conatantly have ringing in the ears aand mine playback all the tones and noises used in a hearing test. I am not sure what you are referring to by " HC " I don't know if I was actually born with a thyroid disorder or not I just rememebr that I use to eat like a horse without gaining weight until I was in 9th grade when I presume my metabolism changed. It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I was diagnosed with depression and hypothyroid then a year later diabetes. If you haven't already thought about it I would get a second opinion and if you want to know definitively if she has a neuroma or not to have that MTI done.
