Is it reasonable to scale back stressful job because of tinnitus? Did anyone have to make any major career changes because of it? |
Did it start in middle age? It is one symptom of menopausal hormonal changes and HRT may help in that instance. |
I was diagnosed with otosclorosis and had surgery to replace the inner ear bone. The tinnitus went away after that. But that’s not the reason for the surgery. The surgery was to help with hearing loss and the disappearance of the ringing was a side effect. I was lucky. |
The surgery was called “stapendectomy” I believe. |
Iron supplements ended my pulsatile tinnitus. |
I suspect HRT caused mine. Prempro has caused hearing loss. |
This is Op. Yes. I associate my condition with over use of AirPods while training for a marathon. First, I had ringing, which comes and goes. After a 5K, I came down with horrible headache, plus extremely loud ringing, which was permanent. It then changed its nature and volume, but it’s still here… |
… I did finish the marathon and then continued various distance running…. One very fun 5K I came down sick and everything ended. |
If stressed do you unknowingly clench teeth? I turned out to be a clencher diagnosed when eventually TMJ started hurting. Can exacerbate tinnitus.
My doc said set timer for every 15 min. When it goes off ask, "Teeth touching?" You may be surprised. |
If you live near a tower that's where it's coming from. Also urban areas are affected more.
It's sound waves. |
Mine comes out strongest when I’ve had alcohol, interestingly. When drunk it’s like a siren in my ears. I drink very rarely. |
Yes, and once I had to seek help from my dentist who re-trained the bite and increased pain killers for 6 weeks. I am better - more aware of the problem and not clenching that bad any more. |
