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?
