Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / February 2006so, what to do now?
My tinnitus is bilateral, it comes and goes along with a slight sense of pressure on both ears. For many hours it remains quiet, then it starts again from one or the other side. The audiologyst said that there's nothing wrong in my hearing or ears, so what I need to do now? Some neurological exam? Also, my jaw is not perfectly aligned, so I'm gonna see an expert on this field to see if I need to put a bite or something.

Yes, you should have a thorough medical evaluation with a special eye toward thyroid dysregulation and infectious diseases. In my case, tick borne disease is responsible for my tinnitus, and these and others may be a treatable cause of T. Susan I thought we had already answered that. http://eebee.net/TinnitusIsaPainintheNeck.shtml Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >My tinnitus is bilateral, it comes and goes along with a slight sense of >pressure on both ears.

I can't tell if it's a muscle tension problem, if I push my jaw the noise becomes slightly more intense but I really do not know if that happens in everybody. Do you think that TMJ treatment can help? Some month ago my dentist told me that my jaw is not aligned. Thanks.

That is why I suggest people have a maasage. Then they will find out if there is muscle tension there. If people do not accept that there is tension - then they will not follow up any suggestions. It costs NOTHING to go and do some gentle back and neck exercises.

I'm a journalist. mr g, I presented myself with similar symptoms to an ENT specialist when I was 17. Since then I saw a few others. It was 10 years later that a doctor friend remarked that my symptoms are consistent with those of PET (Patulous Eustachian Tube). I then went again and saw another ENT specialist, told him what I thought it was (they love that), and bingo, he could indeed diagnose it. He even called a student in to have a look at my ear drum, because it is such a textbook case. I am living with PET for 25 years now and one of these days it is going to drive me nuts. I myself wouldn't mind getting advice on noise cancelling/ breathing techniques, what have you. So far, nothing helped. I see a doctor every 10 years to see if they found a cure. All I get to see is fancier testing equipment. I am just writing this so you can consider or have your doctor consider PET. If you' need more info, I found this website: http://web1.incl.ne.jp/ishikawa/PET/ The gist is, if it is PET there is little you can do.

They all do, it is just a question of mentioning it to your GP. If you're looking for it, PET can easily be diagnosed. The doctor just needs to look into your ear and let you breath. Here is a mistake I made. At 17 I didn't know what it was. When asked 'what seems to be the problem?' my description was very similar to yours. I have later been told (by my doctor friend) that I had used the wrong words. I noticed for example that you describe 'a slight sense of pressure on both ears.' My doctor friend explained to me that the word 'pressure' triggers certain possible diagnoses for my problem, but ENT is not among them. By using the word pressure I had inadvertedly misguided the ENT guy. Weird. What was frustrating at the time was the fact that my hearing was 20/20, as they say. I noticed you are the same. Symptoms I have: I hear breathing sounds and heart beat, my own voice distorted and very loud. It is not always there, sometimes one ear only. An important pointer is this: When you have the noises, lie down on the bed and wait a few minutes. If it is PET, it should go away within a few minutes. Hope this helps. >Interesting, now I have to find an ENT who knows something about it. > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >>> >>>Any suggestions?
