Dear Kathy, Tinnitus that goes with hearing loss is different than mine I think. I have had several hearing tests administered by ear specialists, where I go in a sound booth and all that. And they determined that I have the "hearing of a 5-year-old" I can almost hear in ranges that only dogs can hear in. Tinnitus based on my research on it has more than one cause. Nerve damage leading to deafness is one. Ear wax, infections, allergies, and even pinched nerves in the neck. I have that as some of my cause as I have a lot of neck problems and sometimes the ringing in my ears will get suddenly and irritatingly louder if I turn my head just so and feel a strain on the spine in that area. Relaxing the neck muscles and meditating for a minute will usually get it to go back down to the "normal" volume.
If you have hearing loss, you might have all manner of junk in the ear. I went to an "ear-candling" demonstration about 5 years ago and I was amazed at the amount of crap those ear candles can suck out of the human ear. You would not believe the things that can hide in someone ear for years. Hairs, and little dark gooey specks of who knows what. Sometimes looks like the droppings from the inside of a vacuum cleaner. Check into ear-candling. Barb Michael Lee Finney [email protected] [email protected] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
