Consultation for sensorineural hearing loss

Your hearing loss was diagnosed when you were a young teenager, so you were in school then. Did you get any support from the school system? Do you use hearing aids? Has your sensorineural hearing loss progressed since you were diagnosed?

Tinnitus is very common with hearing loss. It is important to protect yourself from excess noise for both hearing loss and tinnitus. Are you exposed to loud noise recreationally or at work?

Hi, thank you very much for replying to me.
Yes, I went to the hospital for a checkup at the age of 13 because of tinnitus.
No symptoms before tinnitus，The school did not give any support。
The hospital prescribed a drug called methylcobalamin at that time.I've been using it for about two months with no effect.
Hearing aids are not used because the doctor thinks they are not needed for the time being。
Tinnitus worsened in May this year。
I did not experience prolonged noisy environments during my school days，No deafness in the family history。
Can I try to send you the results of the tinnitus test?
Thanks again for your reply。
Because my English is not good, I use translation software to communicate with you, so there are some grammatical problems, sorry.

HELLO... just reading your comment and I have had tinnitus for many years but mild and last 2 years has become almost unbearable but I am a Senior. I have had no support for tinnitus over the years... may I ask what Tinnitus Test you had. I have had hearing tests and have slight to moderate hearing loss but no one ever told me there was a test for Tinnitus...thanks, take care, J.

Hello
I had a pure tone hearing test bone conduction Bone air conduction ，Tinnitus detection I don't know how to explain it to you，Because my English is not good, there are errors in the translation.。
I can try to tell you roughly what it means
A therapy machine makes noise，There will be many, many voices，Then find a noise with the closest sound，They will try to mask the treatment with the least amount of noise。
I currently listen to white noise before going to bed，I have tried it for seven days, and the effect has not yet been seen.。
My hearing part is treble drop
Hope it helps you

Thank you for responding ... no one has ever suggested to me to have this test done and my tinnitus is getting louder and longer during day and night. I hope you get some help and appreciate your help. I will find out where I can have the test done.... J.

Tinnitus has many causes. Tinnitus does not come from nowhere. Try to find the cause.
Here are some ideas as to CAUSES of TINNITUS to get you started on your job as detective for your tinnitus.
1. Your Age - 2. Food Allergy - 3. Chemical allery - 4. Fatigue - 5. Injury - 6. Environment

1. your age - 13 is sensitive for young people and even if you are very happy, there is often depression due to the body changes putting your body to hard work "coming of age".

My hearing declined when my Dad died - I got the health food herbal anti-depressant, Saint John's Wort and it helped!

I also looked at my life and found some things I could do to be happier, even charming. Even if you are already charming, if your system is doing odd things, something is "off" and so you might need to WORK to be easier company for people without crashing too much. IF the things you can do yourself do not work, ask your doctor about what they call "Adolescent grief/shock depression" giving hearing issues.

2. Food allergy - sugar and a few others CAN cause tinnitus or mske it worse - google it. They say no foods CAUSE tinnitus exactly, but CAN cause it. The word here is "allergy" which happens and if you have an allergy, even if the food does NOT CAUSE tinnitus, it WILL cause it if you are allergic to it and tend to get tinnitus. DO THIS: try eliminating one food that might be the problem - just one - for a month if you can. And drink more water - it helps everything.

3. Chemical allergy - makejup, perfume, medicines , soaps and other cleaning products, laundry products.....e a detective and see what happens - YOU can do it. Birth control and other feminine issues can cause tinnitus, especially tampons. Aspirin can cause tinnitus and things like too much of one food or vitamin.

4. Fatigue - Teens are the worst for expecting their general health to be fine even when they trash themselves with too much junk food, too much running around and not enough SLEEP and not enough water. Get a grip on this and see things improve - you should find that your issues - all of them are much better with being more responsible.

5. Injury - did you bump your head or neck or jaw? Any of these can impact your heaing. "Get your head examined" used to ge a joke but not any more. Middle Ear issues happen a LOT in the teens but rest, exercise, good diet and happy activity and time growing up a bit more often fixes the issue. In fact, if tapping the knee makes your foot come up, it miaght be an injury in a part of the body far away from the ear, so have fun trying out exercises to see if sitting up straight in your chair, YOGA etc., help

6 . Environment - new classroom, noisy classroom, tense classroom environment, tough teacher, tough study focus - trouble at home - all these can cause tinnitus.

OK? Tinnitus is weird because it seems to just happen and then often just goes away, without every knowing what caused it. SMILE 😀 helps everything

May I ask where you live? In the United States schools are required to provide support to students who have any kind of disability, even those that are hidden or invisible. If tinnitus affected your school work you should have had some special support.

You are 25 years old now. Are you employed? In what kind of job?

I am not aware of the tinnitus test you say you have results from, so would not know how to evaluate your results. What kind of medical doctor did you see?

Unfortunately, tinnitus is a mystery for the most part. Researchers are working hard to figure out what causes it and what remedies it. The problem is that remedies seem to vary. Allergies have been mentioned as possible causes, but it has to be determined as to what you are allergic to.

Below is a link to a researchers explanation of what tinnitus sounds like. It's not easy to explain to those who don't understand.

There are many reasons for tinnitus, and it is recommended that you find out the cause first.

Hello
I live in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China
When I was a student, the school did not give me any help, and I faced it alone. No one can understand my feelings
Yes, I am 25 years old and I have a job.
I work in an off-campus training school，Mainly teaching piano。
It probably means that when students are out of school, we will use this time to teach piano.
Yes, I have seen a lot of ear doctors in China，They didn't give me a way out of my tinnitus.let me forget this。
The doctor said I had tinnitus due to hearing loss
I have no history of allergies and have not worked in noisy environments for long periods of time.
Unfortunately, I can't open this video
Maybe because I'm in a foreign country
