Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / June 2004Good & Bad Weeks?
Hi I have this for several weeks now, the first week was bad but this week was much better where I could hear a tingling sound but a relief to what it was, but today the sound came back worse. Does this happen where there can be a dramatic sound change over a few days?. I don't know what has set it off again. Glenn Hi Glen, This is not uncommon. It happens to me too and there is nothing in particular that I can attribute it to except perhaps being in LOUD places. I can tell you that if I am unusually tired, the sound seems to be amplified. Also, if you are overly stressed and focusing on the sound, it will only cause the tinnitus to become louder to you. I have had the sound in my ear for many years. This past year it gradually became much worse and I am still learning to live with it. It isn't easy, but it CAN be done...and that is something I never thought I would be saying to anyone!! Several people in this newsgroup have helped me tremendously by offering suggestions and encouragement. Hang in there and Good Luck.

I don't know what has set it off again. I used to have a good day followed by a bad day quite regularly. After some medical concoction, the pattern changed somewhat. NO doctorS of any capacity were able to explain it. I suppose we don;t really need to understand. Learning to cope with such kind of phenomenon is good enough.

For many persosn doing well, they inadvertantly talke a lot of salt and this kicks up the T.

I will make an effort to lessen the amount of salt intake. But how on earth could we explain the rhythmical movement of the T (both the pressure and loudness) from side to side or one good day followed by a bad day phenomenon? I went to see many many doctors and the only one that explained it is a neurologist. He said it is due to the 'nerve conditions' of the brain. After giving me 3 shots of DEFIBRINOGENASE, the rhythm changed a bit. The use of betahistine seems to have helped/changed it a bit too. FP p.s. Thank you so much for having suggested that my positional pressure in the head might have been due to excess fluid build=up. I think it is. After days of diuretics treatment, things are obviously improving. I described this condition to several ENT doc in this part of the world and *none* of them responded the way you did. So these are low-tech no-good doctors in China and Hong Kong. But then again, I also described my conditions many times in this ng and a high-tech US doc even gave me a harsh lecture! So... By the way, Lasix also produces 'stereo' effect when used over 3 days continuously. I am now using it every other day or on an as-needed basis. It works! ============================ > Murray Grossan, M.D. > http://www.ent-consult.com >Hi > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Glenn For me it seems to increase as the work week goes on and also the volume is affected by changes in barometric pressure. For the work situation, I think the problem is with sound level. After a quiet weekend, my T goes down and the fact I have to amplify sounds so much to hear them in a rather noisy work setting contributes to the increased volume over the week. It usually takes 3 days to really wind down, but I can't be sure because I don't usually notice it either way unless I am concentrating on it (like now). Terri Almost everyone who has tinnitus experiences spikes in the level. There are times that you can figure out what caused it, as Terri said, but there are other times that there seems to be no rhyme nor reason for it. You could got bonkers trying to connect every spike with the cause, so don't try. Any loud noise will obviously spike your t, so try to wear ear plugs if you have to be exposed to loud noise. Any upper respiratory infection can temporarily spike it, too. The fluctuations in tinnitus are something you have to adapt to and can. It helps me to know that this too will pass. |
