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.

After many, many years of pressure in right ear, headache on right side, constant tinnitus and episodes of dizziness when turning my head quickly. Then graduating to coughing, losing voice, neck pain and pulling sensation to the right side of my face, a neurosurgeon finally measured the length of my styloid process and determined I have Eagle Syndrome. I could not have imagined all of these years the ringing, whooshing and piercing tone in my ear actually had a name. I feel for everyone commenting above because I was referred to mental health specialists several times, have had several tubes in my right ear and have had three firm misdiagnoses and at least two doctors insinuate I was making things up. Well, on to the next step and hopefully pain free days ahead.

I also have ES finally diagnosed more than 20 years after a fall where the right side of my head hit a concrete floor. Looking forward to eval by Neurosurgeon in a month and hope surgery will ease symptoms significantly. Will post info from eval in March. No doctor mentioned anything about ES until the VA doctor sent my films for consult on a pinched nerve in my neck. Hope you all find answers tinnitus and ear pressure issues are so annoying!

I was looking through some articles to find a way to get rid of tinnitus, and I was able to find that if we reset our brain cells using a device we could get rid of tinnitus or at least reduce the effect.

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.

For me, it has been over 20 years of high pitched noise every day. Sometimes the frequency changes like an old school radio when tuning in to a station. Frequently while driving and moving it sounds like listening to a sea shell. The annoying thing is a group discussion where I find I will walk away rather than explain the voices are literally "plucking" my nerves. Only recently I discovered the earbuds with a very low volume audiobook works wonders for me. I fought the idea of sleeping with earbuds since it is a "bad" sleep habit, but if I don't I hear noise that affects falling and staying asleep every night. Shame on me, but at least I get some sleep... My only issue, my ear openings are so small almost all earbods hurt a little. Any brand suggestions anyone?

I always had mild Tinnitus, but I think that when I received chemotherapy, it caused my Tinnitus to become permanently severe. All the time.
