Constant Ringing in my Ears!!???

Question

I have a thyroid problum. About 2 weeks before I found out. I got this ringing in my ears, that never seems to go away! It annoys the crap out of me. So they put me on synthroid, after that, my ears are ringing even louder. and sometimes, the left ear will ring loud and it causes me to not be able to breath, it screws with my hear beat and makes me kinda dizzy. i don't like it at all. I told me Dr. about it, he said it was caffine, so i stoped drinking so much caffine, but its still there!!! Does anyone know what this is? Or does anyone have it??? Please help me... and don't tell me i need to go to the dr. I will once I renew my insurance, which is going to be at least 3 months. Thank you.

Answer 1

I have a thyroid condition and am on the same medication as you. I don't have this problem and don't believe this is a symptom of thyroid troubles. If you won't get to the dr I don't know how else to help you. You need to go to an ear specialist ASAP.
Best of Luck and Good Health...

What are the possible side effects of Synthroid?
• If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Synthroid and seek emergency medical attention:
· an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· vomiting; or
· chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath.
• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Synthroid and talk to your doctor or try another similar medication if you experience
· tremor, nervousness, or irritability;
· headache;
· insomnia;
· diarrhea, changes in appetite, or weight loss;
· leg cramps;
· menstrual irregularities; or
· fever, sweating, or heat sensitivity.
no ear ringing side effects............

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds. Some people hear more complex sounds that vary over time. The sounds may be intermittent, continuous, or pulsating in time with the heart beat. A pulsating sound may result from a blocked artery, an aneurysm, a tumor in a blood vessel, or other blood vessel disorders.

The noise can vary in loudness. It is often worse when background noise is low, so you may be most aware of it at night when you're trying to fall asleep in a quiet room.

Although tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, it does not cause the loss; nor does a hearing loss cause tinnitus. In fact, some people with tinnitus experience no difficulty hearing, and in a few cases they even become so acutely sensitive to sound that they must take steps to muffle or mask external noises.

Some instances of tinnitus are caused by infections or blockages in the ear, and the tinnitus often disappears once the underlying cause is treated. Frequently, however, tinnitus continues after the underlying condition is treated. In such a case, it needs to be treated. Sometimes, significant relief may be obtained by either decreasing or covering up the unwanted sound.

Treatment of Tinnitus

Because tinnitus may be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, the first step in the treatment is to make an accurate diagnosis and then to treat the associated condition.

If the tinnitus remains after treatment or if it results from exposure to loud noise, various nonmedical options may be used to reduce or mask the unwanted noise. Examples are listening to a radio or television, using a cassette player with headphones, or using tinnitus maskers. Tinnitus maskers are worn like a hearing aid to produce a neutral white sound that has relieved 60 percent of patients with severe tinnitus. For the profoundly deaf, a cochlear implant may reduce tinnitus.

Various alternative and integral treatments are also available for tinnitus.

Sometimes, tinnitus goes away spontaneously, without any intervention at all.

Sounds like (no pun intended) tinnitus. I have the same problem, at some times worse than at others. I've never seen a cure, but there's a lot of information on the web. I'm also prone to bring up mucus (flem??) by clearing my throat hard, but I've never associated the two as being connected. The closing of nose & mouth and "blowing" is the common way of "clearing" the ears and is very good to use when flying. Strongly suggest you have your have your ears checked by a doctor for they seem overly sensitive - while there ask the doctor about tinnitus. Your health is not something you want to trust to someone's "expertise" on the web!

lol my first reponce was go to the dr til i seen the bottom. anyways to the point. im not sure what causes it, i do have it once in a while and i don't have a thyroid problem i have a seizure disability and some vision problems. but i do believe i remember a dr telling me it's a medical problem but i don't recall what. so my answer is i believe as soon as u can get that insurance done u should visit ur dr cause i dont' think any home remedy will fix this problem. it's possible the meds are causing it to get worse. maybe ask if u can get an another thyroid med.

It's more than likely tinnitus. I don't think there's a cause for it, and unfortunately, there's no cure for it either. My oldest sister has had tinnitus for most of her adult life. My sister, who is 62, likes to have background noise all of the time. Even when she sleeps, she has a small electric fan going, or leaves the TV going just for the noise. During the day, she has the radio or CD player going. She doesn't notice a change from drinking caffeine or not You have to find what makes it bearable for you. I know it's annoying, but just hang in there! Best of luck to you.

Answer 7

The best way it would be treated is by going to an Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. You mentioned your problem with insurance. Call around and see if you can find one who uses a Sliding Scale fee. Good luck!

i think you have become deaf. because, one of my teachers has that ringing in his ears CONSTANTLY 24/7 every second of every day, his whole life. and he is partially deaf. i suggest going to an audiologist. yes, i realize he is a doctor, but he may be able to help you more than a regular one.

hope things work out.
