It's not been two months since my problem started. It's changed in that time, but it still persists. The dizziness while I sleep has gone away, but I still hear a low buzz in my right ear (or on the right side of my head?) usually starting at around 9 or 10 in the evening, that goes all night and stops in the morning. Sometimes it's soft, sometimes it's louder. When it's louder, it seems to radiate across the base of my skull. The ENT did not really know what to tell me. He hypothesized that there could be an accumulation of fluid in the inner ear, but he had doubts. He told me to just try not to worry about it and go about my business and see what happens. Obviously I just want this to go away but with every week that passes, I get more doubtful. I also visited with a neurosurgeon who examined my MRI in detail and said there was no accumulation of fluid evident on the MRI. My hearing seems to be OK. For the past 4 weeks, I have been on a strict low salt/low sugar diet with no caffeine or alcohol that does not seem to be having any effect at all. They gave me betahistine and a light diuretic that do not seem to be doing anything. My endocrinologist said there is no connection with my Hashimoto's problem. My dentist (as you can see, I've been to every doctor imaginable!) did say that I have an extremely tight jaw, and she is making a mouthguard for me right now. I also did a preliminary sleep test, which may have shown some sleep apnea, but a pneumologist was dubious about the result.
Any ideas at all of what I should do, or if you have experience like this?
