Tinnitus Suddenly Worse
« on: October 19, 2024, 03:12:35 am »
Hi all.

It has been just over 2 years since AN surgery removal 87%. This past few weeks tinnitus has struck me roaringly worse and with dizzy spells. I can’t understand it. Does anyone have anything to add?

Hi Jordy!

Welcome back to the ANA Forums!  I wish I could help you regarding the tinnitus and the dizzy spells.  But can you share what the last two years have been like otherwise?  You did such an excellent job sharing your experience on these forums.

I hope the tinnitus dies back down soon.

Hi Jordy. It's been 2 years since I had gamma knife. Some days my tinnitus is like a loud roar. Other days it's like a click or chirp. Some days it bothers me. I haven't figured out why it fluctuates.

I used to have tinnitus - I feel its a few things that aggravate it and I talked this through a few years back with an audiologist. Firstly blood pressure, virus exposure, certain ototoxic medications even NSAIDS can, sleep disorders, high histamine diet, ageing and hearing loss, hormonal fluctuations. Melatonin helped me somewhat and reducing stress. Magnesium seemed to help and when it was at its worst 1mg valium before bed or full spectrum CBD/CBN (just saying what helped me) maybe as they are muscle relaxants. White noise also helps. Perhaps see an audiologist for more insights.

Michele,

When you say you used to have tinnitus, does that mean it is gone now?
