Tinnitus and brain tumor

Posted by EES1 @ees1, Sep 10, 2018

Meningioma, cavernoma, leukocytoclastic Vasculitis, osteoarthritis, abnormal EKG (enlarged left anterior descending artery-Calcium scoring test soon). Now high-pitched tinnutus. All diagnosed in past 15 months. I think the Grim Reaper is laughing.

At 88 I have taken two of this vitamin for about five years now. The ringing now is very low. Still there but I can endure the low level. Takes a few months before it takes effect. Don't miss taking it. One in morning and one at night. I think mine came from many years of working around my machine shop without ear protection.

Eastmas, I recommend that you contact Mayo Clinic by phone to ask about physicians and our teams specializing in Eagles syndrome. They will be able to answer your questions more specifically than I can. Here are the numbers for all 3 Mayo Clinic locations in AZ, FL, MN. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Hi Eastmas1, Here's how to get a list like this https://www.mayoclinic.org/search/search-results?q=eagle%20syndrome

1. Go to Mayo Clinic's website https://www.mayoclinic.org/
2. Enter the search term "Eagle Syndrome"

You can sort the results to see physicians, locations and researchers who specialize in Eagle syndrome. It is also good to know that at Mayo Clinic doctors work as a team. That means you will have the input and knowledge of multiple specialists attending to your care.

Wow, I wonder what the success rate is for this gadget... If surgery on my styloid process does not clear the tinnitus I will research further. Thanks.

Curious about tinnitus and acoustic neuromas - Will an MRI be effective in detecting a tumor? I have symptoms that correlate with this diagnosis. Thank you!!

Hi @katahdin, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Perhaps you could tell me a little bit more about your symptoms so I can connect you with other members like you. It sounds like you have a suspicion that you might have an acoustic neuroma because you have developed symptoms like tinnitus. Is that right? According to Mayo Clinic, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast dye is the preferred imaging study used to diagnose acoustic neuroma. See more here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/acoustic-neuroma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20356132

What other symptoms do you have? Have you seen a specialist about your symptoms?
