Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I just realized a week or so ago that I have a slight buzzing in my ear (s), (head?). When I first noticed the buzz I thought it was coming from our new pellets stoves that have a fan in them,. so make a buzzing, whirring type noise. But then I realized that I was hearing it when I wasn't at home. It is not very loud, but for certain there. My hearing doesn't seem to be dimmished that I can tell. I am not certain if it is in both ears or just one, I am almost thinking it is just the one. Is there anyway to tell? I mean without medical testing? I will mention it to my doctor this week. but would like any info or insights any might have. I am not dizzy at all, and as long as it doesn't get any louder I can certainly live with it, but I am wondering why it happened??? Like I said, I am not even certain how long it has been like this, we have had the pellet stoves for about 2 months, so it is at least that long. Did anyone experience this before your hearing went bad? Smiles to you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Thank you Alice, I have checked them out. Smiles to you, Re: hearing > > > , > > The buzz you hear is probably tinnitus. In our files, we have some information to help lower the impact of tinnitus which can worsen and many times is the first hint of a hearing loss. I'm going to send you a few sites which will give you an idea if you need to see an ENT for further testing but please, if you do find that your hearing is declining, go to a qualified ENT and not a place like Miracle Ear who will fit you with an expensive hearing aid whether you need one or not. Most important here is that if you have declining hearing, you really should be fitted with an aid. > > http://www.freehearingtest.com/test.shtml > > http://www.healthyhearing.com/hearingtest/starttest.asp?id=16&x1= > > http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/1589.asp > > I'm also going to give you a link to information on tinnitus just so you can read about it.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear there is a probably " normal " cause for your buzzing right now.

So, that must be what is causing it. I will let it run it course unless it gets worse. Then I will do something else I guess. But glad to find out it doesn't look like anything serious at this moment. >He did say also that the thing on my spine is a limpoma (sp?) which is what I had thought it was all along. > >Smiles to you all, > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
