It won't cure everybody, but it mostly cured me. Bell's Palsy is a frequent manifestation of tick borne diseases like Lyme disease. My T was caused by it, and was greatly improved by high dose oral antibiotics. Almost all Lyme disease patients (long term illness) complain of tinnitus. Other infections that also attack the central nervous system could also cause Bell's Palsy and tinnitus.

It can affect the auditory nerve and inner ear. Ramsey-Hunt syndrome is another example of a herpetic (zoster) infection causing tinnitus. In cases where reactivations occur, antivirals (e.g., acyclovir) are given to reduce the activation intensity and duration.  SignatureJim Chinnis / Warrenton, Virginia, USA Want to discuss Meniere's?
