Does any one else suffer both
Greetings Sally,
I have both and I know there are others on this site as well. I have had ringing/buzzing in my ears of and on as long as I can remember. Since I got TN the ringing/buzzing has gotten worse and sometimes kicks into high gear where that is about all I can hear. when that happens I get partial hearing loss in one ear (opposite side from my tn) that can last for days and get very dizzy and have to lay down and pass out that last for 4 hours or so.

Hi Sally,
I also have tinnitus, but I believe it's a side effect of the pain killers I take - hydrocodone and oxycodone. These also cause a weird fluttering feeling/noise in my eardrums.

Hi Scott, hey I get the same thing! Partial hearing loss on my left side, although I had MVD on right side. It feels like I’m on a flight & need to pop my ears but it just does not work. Or it feels like this weird Eco of my own voice. ( good thing I have a sexy voice lol ) but seriously, Tinitus has many forms & I think I have experienced all. From ringing, buzzing, clicking, fluttering, high pitched tone & low pitch etc! It’s enough to drive you insane!

Hi Coleen, I find that very interesting. I’m wondering if ‘oxycodone’ is the same as OxyContin? That’s what I was on. I wonder who many other also have been or are on this medication & suffer from Tinitus? Thanks for your input. Something to think about. Hugs Sally
Greetings Sally,
Yes it is weird that it is on the opposite side, I know there is at least one other member with the same thing. I have not had the clicking and very rare any fluttering but still annoying anyway. They are checking me for meneires disease but that will take along time. The first time they partial deafness occurred it felt like I had a bad case of swimmers ear. I have also heard an echo but without the sexy voice lol tonight I just have the usual slight ringing
Greetings Colleen,
I have had mine as long as I can remember so for me it does not have anything to do with the painkillers, although it has gotten worse since I got TN

No, I’m sure your voice is more manly! Lol
Oh, that’s something I have to google. I have before, but now I’ve forgotten! Darn brain fog!
I’ve got pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear so I hear my heart beat 24/7 and often the cause is vascular, my GP tells me.
I’ve had an ultrasound on my carotid artery which was fine and my previous MRI showed no tumours so I now have another MRI, mra and mrv booked for December.
I saw the ENT last week and I asked him if it could be another cranial nerve problem but he said the sound is more likely to be a high pitched consistent noise if it was a nerve. He did mention that lots of medications can cause regular tinnitus.
Mine is not too bad during the day when there is lots of ambient noise but sleeping can be tricky even with white noise playing in the background on my iPod.
My sister has menieres and has found a low salt diet has worked really well for her. She is so I’ll when she has an attack and has no awareness of where she is in space. It’s horrible.
I’m glad I don’t hear my voice, mine isn’t that appealing.
Cheers

Hi Trish, yes I know all about pulsatile Tinnitis. I have it too. Atleast you know your alive! Lol
