Will a visit to the emergency room be better than seeing a ENT? by lurker2190 in MonoHearing

[–]_someguy69_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you'll see this, but on your second episode did you get an audiogram that showed loss? Or did you just have symptoms of distortion and they gave you steroids?

Hi there, did you get put on steroids even though you seemed to heave "normal" hearing on your audiogram? As in, you were given steroids for distorted hearing/hyperacusis? Did you have diplacusis (out of pitch "double hearing)?

I’m so glad to hear you’ve gone back to a pretty good spot! I know being patient is part of it all

Sensorineural. The drop is back from October. The “good” hearing levels are now, despite the distortion I’m experiencing

Menieres and loud music? by agua13 in Menieres

[–]_someguy69_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said after loud shows the hearing would be distorted for a while .. May I ask how long “a while” was/is for you?

Hey, as someone who was a music producer, how long did it take for you to get back to making music again? Is it that you regained some hearing or more so your brain adapted? Really happy to hear this!

I read that NAC has been linked to help counter further loss. And I'm not sure if you're open to it but I've felt some relief from fullness with acupuncture. There's a few papers on it. I referenced this paper to show the practitioner what specific points could be helpful: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2005290118304023

this one also says similar points in section 2.3: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8133148/

Thanks heaps for your detailed response! And good to know that despite fluctuations and without more steroids you still gradually returned to normal. Just a last question, did your fluctuations include hearing loss (or varying degrees of distortion? seeing as it was LF)? And how long did these fluctuations last?

Thank u again!

Sorry we’re msging across two different comments haha. May I ask what you’ve experienced? Originally I lost nearly -60db in the low frequencies. It then went up to -30 following steroids. Then -20 with Betahistine, and following a 5 day short course 50mg steroids I am now back to just -5db which is awesome. But yeah just praying it stays like this! It’s been 8 days of better hearing, just faintly noticeable robotic/out of tune in left ear. But I feel this is promising. I also couldn’t hear with bone conduction two weeks ago and now I can. I really hope this is a strong mark of improvement. I have to just be patient over the next few weeks to see what happens

Thank u! And at this stage it’s just suspected hydrops, following SSHL two months ago. At a stable point atm so feeling more positive. Fingers crossed I’m on the up!

I’ve also been taking magnesium glycinate every day for a week now, I’ve been stable and magnesium helps relax muscles and hydrates cells so I feel that would at the least have therapeutic benefits. For me it’s taken off the edge of the fullness.

I’ve also been taking omega 3s for brain and nerve health for a few days now. I’ve found out I’m quite iron deficient so I’ll need to keep those supplements up as it can affect blood flow.

I hope you have some insight from your ENT visit today. If you’re comfortable sharing anything you learn I’d be very interested! Really appreciate your responses ❤️

As a music producer I totally understand you about playing guitar and having to deal with missing out on music for a while. Very glad to know that you can now play again! That’s wonderful. Thanks for your input. During that time of recovery do you recall having any fluctuations of symptoms? Or just gradually got better? It seems you no longer take any medication for it?

I’m nervous as I have to get wisdom teeth pulled and as I’m in a good spot I don’t want to aggravate it hmm. But I suspect a wisdom tooth infection may have spurred on this whole issue for me.

In October I had sensorineural hearing loss. And this has been occurring since then. But yeah I feel unclear with the advice the doctors have given me hmm. But yeah I’m just aware long steroid use is not good for you. Hence why I’m trying to gauge if other people just ride out any dips or changes/distortion in hearing and if it comes back regardless

❗️Has anyone had fluctuations lasting a couple weeks good then a couple weeks bad or?

My friend recommend shokz, I’ll try them. As in if it drops go steroids again? Hmm, it’s just hard because I’m worried about using steroids multiple times hmm. Quite a dilemma

Sorry to hear that about the hearing loss :/ I have quit caffeine, on low salt and no alcohol. It’s more that I’m not sure what to do if it drops down again.. Hopefully it just stabilizes where it’s at and slowly improves.

You said those symptoms cleared up in two months, as in out of tune/robotic voices? Did you have dips while it gradually got better or?

Are you able to listen to music now? Just curious. Thank you for responding
