concerned about AN
« on: August 13, 2025, 10:06:56 am »
Hey

With all due respect for all people around here stuggling with AN, I need to ask some questions.

I have one-sided tinnitus, right ear.
High-pitched.
Went to ENT - he said normal hearing, but advised for MRI, due to asymmetrical hearing loss.

I don't feel my hearing is worse on the right side though.

No other symptoms.

Few details :

 - it began 3 months ago or at least at that time I became aware of it.
 - I had some nights with poor sleep at work, someone yelled at me, from close range (I work in a hospital)
 - I don't know, whether is my brain, who wants me believe, its not only on the right ear, but sometimes I feel it more centered and I get transient tinnitus on left ear as well, but it's no doubt, much more clear and present on the right ear.
 - when I had audiogram, it was after 4 hrs sleep and my tinnitus was pretty loud and I made some guessing, I remember.

I attach my audiogram.

Is it really so big the asymmetrical hearing? Is a rather big fall at 4Hz. no? I see left ear at 8Hz at 5 dB then plunges to 30 dB at 8Hz?

I am very afraid of acoustic neuroma, despite low probability?
