Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2004Is this normal?
Is it normal for T to get progressivley worse? I have had mine for 2 years the noises have worsened and the hearing going down and still going lower......I haven't got menieres. (so neurologist says) All this to makes me anxious for what lays ahead, with the hearing diminishing the way it is, and the T worsening. Jenny > Is it normal for T to get progressivley worse?

I know it's easy for me to say from here, but please try and focus on the fact it might also get better. Try not to think so far ahead as your anxiety, whilst fully understandable, is not actually helping your T. I believe you will be fine, and no matter how you feel you will cope. In fact if you do want to look ahead, the longer you have T the better you are at dealing with it. Keep positive, Jenny. Please don't take this is a personal attack on you, but I am just tying to help you stay positive. All the best, Simon. Hi Simon, don't worry I am still positive and the kids are noticing that Im not complaining about my ears half as much as before. It's just that I still have this underlying fear, (because I know a few ppl with T and none of theirs is like mine) that there is something causing mine, like an acoustic neuroma, considering all the health problems I am having along with my T. ( I know they are not all caused by anxiety, I have had anxiety since I was 17..and that's 20 years ago) even though my MRI which I had done 5 months after this started was clear...anyway I can voice all these fears I guess on Thursday when I go to have my tinnitus assessment....I will let you know how it goes..and don't sorry about me taking what you write as a personal attack, I don't..I can tell your a nice person. I am owever in the process of "trying" to give up smoking, so if my posts start getting a tad touchier..you'll know why. Thanks for your input Simon.

How is your hearing? Have you had are recent hearing test? Larry Im 38 on Friday, my first hearing test after the T was slightly down, my 2cnd hearing test about 11 months later was slightly better, but the got me on a good da..it fluctuates...I have it tested again on Thursday. hvas456@Aol.com wrote in message <1102400815.564826.3860@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com>... >> Is it normal for T to get progressivley worse?

Mine has fluctuated that way for almost 15 years with no worsening of hearing or tinnitus. After one test on a bad day, my neurotologist (incredibly) diagnosed AIED (autoimmune inner ear disease); a later test showed normal hearing. Fluctuating hearing is sometimes associated with endolymphatic hydrops. But I'm not sure that knowing that is much help!  SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's? See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG endolymphatic hydrops is menieres disease? My neurologist said I havent got that.

See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MenieresDG Well, your neurologist could be right or wrong. But, no, endolymphatic hydrops is not Meniere's disease. Idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops is Meniere's disease. There are other forms of endolymphatic hydrops, and they are milder than Meniere's disease.

I consider this a success story, Jenny. When you get home and hear the RRRRRRrrrringgggg, don't answer it. :-) I'm interested in what this "tinnitus assessment" entails, as I've never had one myself. My doctors have merely questioned me briefly and dismissed my complaint, feigning ignorance and/or indifference, depending on their mood. If you would, could you share the experience with us? I feel like I'm from California. How many Californians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Five, one to screw in the bulb, and four to share the experience. :-) Best wishes, scp well I dont really know what the tinnitus test entails yet, ut ti think they measure the frequency of my T etc find out the best ways to mask it and how much hearing loss there is blah blah..... I too, up till now has been dismissed by DR'S...will be quite exciting to know that someone is actually acknowledging that I have noises in my ear and they want to know more about them..Im ready to spill the beans!! I will fill you all in tomorrow night. seeya !!

MJ Look under pseudo-meniere's |
