Hearing Issues / Did Cros hearing aid make tinnitus worse
« Last post by GMDizzyndeaf2 on July 10, 2025, 07:37:05 am »
Hello Community,

I just got Cros hearing aids for my SSD from GM and am really trying to get them to stay in my ear canals. 🤷🏻‍♀️
But, my main issue is my tinnitus seems worse when I take them out. Is this normal??? Is this a sign that they aren’t good for me or is it a temporary thing? I would LOVE to hear what’s being said on my left AN side but is it at the cost of uncomfortable tinnitus forever?
I will really appreciate information from CROS wearers if I should stop wearing them before doing more damage.
Thank you so much!

Tomorrow will be a blur and you won't be able to check on here so hopefully you get this message before your surgery.  We will be thinking about you and hoping all goes well tomorrow, and you have a speedy recovery.  I know from experience that this is the most stressful part from now until they wheel you into in the operating room it's easy to second guess if this is the right thing.   But remember you don't want the damage to continue.  When you feel up to it give us an update.

Good luck tomorrow.

Your speech and double vision symptoms likely relate to the tumor pressing on nearby nerves or brain areas. It’s common and worth mentioning to your neurosurgeon. These issues support your decision for surgery. Your health and activity level are good signs for recovery. The pre-op physical, blood work, and MRI before surgery are standard steps.

Since CSF leak and usual treatments aren’t helping, look into craniocervical instability or tethered cord, they can cause similar headaches and often get missed.

Many choose surgery quickly in cases like this to prevent permanent damage. Waiting risks more nerve damage and harder recovery.

Mark - thank you for this and I will keep that in mind.  I am so encouraged to hear that you feel so much better emotionally and mentally.  I am so eager to feel myself once again.

I get it and like I said if it works for you and you are ok with it that's great.  Just because something is prescribed though definitely doesn't make it non-addictive and safe.   The opioid problem here can be traced back to legally prescribed pain killers.   My concerns with it were not about getting high.  But the long term effects listed include things that I was already battling, one of the main ones being dizziness.   The acoustic neuroma was causing dizziness already and there was no way I wanted to add to that.

Hi there I am def not addicted. This is prescribed TGA approved medical cannabis I only use it when I get nerve pain and that is not every day. I put two drops under my tongue before bed and sleep deeply. I have no side effects nor is it meant to make one high (this is a very low THC full spectrum product with all the terpenes and its the only brand I would use). For me its a useful anti inflammatory that is all. I dont smoke ,dont drink and am not taking anything else thats medication. Its prescribed and I am fully educated on it . I take it also because it wont damage my glymphatic system.   I had very bad neuroinflammation post covid and it helped then also. I am an exceptionally health orientated person who diligently reads in depth on everything from nutrition, sleep, supplements etc.
