Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / December 2005New with Tinnitus
Hi Im probably going to ramble on in this. About 8 weeks ago i woke up, and thought i left something on for a start a TV/computer or something, then i realised this high pitch noise and it is constant was coming from my left ear. Ever since then its been the same level of noise, but a yestersday its got louder. So much is happening at the moment and i dont know if its connected or not, when i mentioned this to the doctor he didnt press on it like he thought it wasnt related. But a year ago i had a root canal that i found out didnt work (im having that tooth out next thursday as its that or pay 600 pounds for a reroot thats not guaranteed to work again). The failed root got infected and sore and made me have a tooth ache i had to take antibotics to clear that up, its ok now but will come back if i dont have it out. Also a couple of days ago i had a cap put back on a tooth that came out (its a silver filling type cap). Hes also mentioned he may do a scan for any growths in the future if it doesnt clear, im guessing that probably a last resort, in the meantime he's given be a weeks worth of Steriod Type Pills taking 5 x 5mg pills (Prednisolone Enteric Coated Tablets says on the bottle), thou as i said before it gotten worst. im wondering whether to continue taking them. Is there a connection you think between the 2 teeth problems and my Tinnitus, either by the Cap, or the failed root canal? even thou the tooth problems came first. But the 2 teeth are the same side as that ear. The cap is on the back tooth top and the root canal tooth is 2nd to back bottom. I really hope it can be solved, i dont think i could bear living my life with the noise it is now, its constant, high pitch. Im so desperate i even went to a health shop today and got some Ginkgo tablets to try if it doesnt get any better. Also i noticed, i answer the phone at work with my right ear and that sounds ok. I tried one day answering the phone with the tinnitus ear and the people sound all echo'y like they are talking in a cave. Im 33, I work in a boring environment lol at a computer terminal all day, and work and play on computers when i get home, just so you know my lifestyle. I dont like flying so never flown, last concert i went to was in 1988, i dont do much really that would cause the tinnitus. Just hope they find something so they know what it is to cure it. I just hope they dont give up or say its permanent. Before it got louder i could get use to it but now its louder harder to ignore. Shirl Written in June '95 Four years ago I had a tooth extracted and have had Tinnitus ever since. Two weeks ago I had to return for a filling and was naturally very apprehensive. But it is amazing what a toothache will do. While the dentist was doing what he had to do I decided to observe my body to see what was happening. I noticed that while my hands and legs appeared to be quite relaxed, my shoulders were not. The shoulder muscles were tensing up very strongly, and I felt that I wanted to disappear through the chair, away from the drill. This tension persisted well over a week, even though I knew by now what to do about it. more at http://eebee.net/dentist.shtml Then there are the computer problems. How is your posture? Is the PC comfortable situated? All these things can add to muscle tension which can lead to tinnitus. http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml Elly. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > Shirl i hope when i have my tooth extracted it won't make it worst then has there been any connection between silver fillings/cap and tinnitus it came worst the evening of the same day i had my cap put back on when it fell out. i just paid to have it put back in, but as a last resort i could i suppose save for a white cap or something. shirl > Written in June '95 > Four years ago I had a tooth extracted and have had Tinnitus ever [quoted text clipped - 70 lines] > > > > Shirl The type of cap makes no difference.

After this most recent root canal the t got louder, it used to quiet down after a few days but is now pretty much 4,000 hertz which when I had my hearing tested twice I have a slight hraring loss. No one will help, I say something to the entist or my family Doctor and I get the usual "learn to live with it" I was doing a tremendous amount of Computer work both at home and at work, I lost my job last year to Globalization, I am not sure that I will ever get use to the T. Merry Christmas Chuck > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > > Shirl i had that failed root canal tooth out today it still hurts at the moment still so ill see when it settles if the tinnitus is less loud, i can still hear the humming in the ear but with the other pain at the moment i cant tell if its quieter or not. Or maybe ill have to wait a few days for the sore spot to settle and hopefully the tinnitus will to (i can hope). its good to hear from the other post the cap makes no difference, as i didnt want that out as it fits good. my hearing loss in that ear is slight to on the high pitch noises, plus slightly distorted. i get that too at the moment, "you may have to live with it" 8( shirl > Hi Shirl, > [quoted text clipped - 82 lines] > > > > Shirl If you take steps to reduce the muscle tension the hearing loss will also improve.

My doctor looked at me and said that a tooth extraction should not give me tinnitus. Maybe so. But I got tinnitus after a tooth extraction. My first relief came after a chiropractor visit. I did not understand why. But it was 4 years becuase I discovered that going to the dentist set up extreme muscle tension in my neck and shoulders. I have had a root canal since then without any further trouble because then I understood the connection. I also do a lot of computering. That is another source of muscle tension. How is your posture? How is the computer situated? Yes, it is possible to ease the tinnitus considerably, but it will take some time. After all the tension took quite some time to set in. Have a look at http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml and other pages on that site. Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >Hi Shirl, > [quoted text clipped - 82 lines] >> >> Shirl
