Re: Hearing Loss/Ringing In The Ears Is Driving Me Mad....Need Advice Please!

[Guest guest]

Yes I had this problem. I had several visits to a

hearing clinic over a number of years, and the hearing

loss seriously affected my ability to do my job (I'm a

teacher). At first I wasn't too aware of the problem

but when it got to the point of seeing moving mouths

but not hearing anything I was seriously alarmed. The

ringing in my ears began at about that point. That all

happened before I was diagnosed as HypoT and of course

was associated with lots of other health problems.

As my dose of thyroxine was raised the problem began

to recede and I was delighted when I could hear

silence again. I know some people cope with tinnitus,

but I don't know how. That noise wemt everywhere with

me and somehow seemed to even whistle through my

dreams,I thought would it would drive me mad.

Anyway I am now taking 125mcgT4 and 20mcgT3 and the

tinnitus has gone and I am hearing well again. I can

enjoy concerts and silence! I have no doubt at all

that the hearing loss and the tinnitus were caused by

HypoT.

How are your levels? Do you think you are still

undermedicated?

I did get relief after my last thyroid med increase, although I don't think my symptoms were as bad as yours. Do you have some lab numbers and ranges to post?

>Hi

I have the ringing too-and it is irritating-I think the meds

definitely are a factor in it--I also think there are problems

getting enough oxygen in your body-and that causes a lot of strange

maladies. Do you have any dizziness? I am bothered with that off and

on also

I've had permanent earringing since the summer of 1998, suspected for

thyroid (but only by me, of course), probably poisoning from something in

those Mexican fires that were rolling across Tx at that time, and me

sleeping with the windows open and going outside in it, plus an individual

sensitivity to something in that, more than likely. Google autoimmune

disease in the ears, and you'll come up with some interesting reading there.

Nothing was found in my ears, the vertigo went away, but the earringing

stayed. It's also synchronous with my heartbeat sometimes, when I lay down

to sleep. White noise muffles it or diverts my brain from " hearing " it most

of the time, like a fan running or other room noise.
