@julieo4 again you surprise me with a personal response. Thank you. I will watch the video. And share info re tcoils with audiologist. She’s a great practitioner & specializes in tinnitus. Because of her I haven’t given up (again)
My backstory is dx with Graves autoimmune 2014. During that period I had bouts of dizziness & on & off hearing loss. I was 60. Stuck out work til 62 & retired. Got fairly squared away.
Dec 2018 I got a bad cold,was losing hearing again R side. Went to walk in clinic was told it was fluid in ear & would reabsorb. Waited about a month by then it was too late. Steroids no help. ENT told me it was age related hearing loss & tinnitus “no cure deal with it”I slept slot for about a year.
Tinnitus /hearing R side got worse, tried to work p/t for a year but couldn’t .
Have learned not to write anything in stone & allow myself a lot of alone time. This yr I’ve seen some better days & getting back out around people more often.
You mentioned salt & alcohol-correct . Triggers for Menieres. I’m very lucky, only had 2 vertigo attacks.
Thank you for letting me tell my story.
I hope research focuses on the brain and on weather, a definite trigger for tinnitus for me. Btw the only loud noise I was exposed to was my air bag went off when I had a dizzy spell on the way to work back in 2013 & ran into a parked car. It was like a gunshot beside your ear.
I’m thankful for good days, & ability to show up more.
I hope anybody on this board finds the answers that help them.
