my brother in law had this for a year or so then changed medication it stopped then
Artillery ruined my high frequency hearing and I deal with tinnitus all the time. Hearing aids appeared to work when I first got them, but I guess my brain adjusted to them, so it seems I'm right back where I started.
Medications also can affect the degree of tinnitus, especially anyone with high blood pressure. My BP is a little high, but with medication stays right in the zone, but the first prescription I was given worsened the problem. It took a long session with a hearing specialist and the doctor and trying a few different prescriptions, but they finally found one that lessened helped lessen the ringing.

Hmmm, I did have my first garden hose with a camera on it "procedure" a little over 3 weeks ago which is about the time my Tin kicked it up a notch. I wonder if the anesthesia had anything to do with this? No blood pressure issues and no medicine other than Nasonex which I take every year during allergy season and have been for 10+years.

That procedure should have made you see things, but not affected your hearing. :laughing:

I had my last one 5 weeks ago and can't tell it made any difference in my hearing.:laughing:

And I saw the thing.....nice of the Nurse to be prepping it on the work table before they put me out.......at least 5/8th's....maaaybe 3/4.....TMI????
One thing that I thought was really cool was right there in the OP room was a large Craftsman Tool chest. I had to ask and they said it's been there & in use for almost 20 years....I gave a Tim Allen grunt.

About 20 years ago I had my wisdom teeth removed. The top two came out no problem but the first of the two bottom teeth would not come out without being sawed, broken, ground down and who knows what else before being removed. I was awake the whole time but was shot up with novocaine or whatever they use. I had to come back a week or so later for the fourth tooth to be removed. Anyways, not long after all that is when I first started noticing ringing in my ears and I've had it ever since. I mentioned it on my next visit to the dentist but, as I expected, they assured me that there could be no connection between the anesthetic / extractions and the tinnitus.
My younger years saw a lot of loud music and auto racing and that is probably what prompted my tinnitus but I will always wonder about that dental procedure.
The ringing is not severe but it is constant. A very high frequency ring - it reminds me of an old picture tube TV where you could hear that high-pitched whistle on top of the normal TV sound.
Now, I wear earplugs every time I use the tractor, lawn mower, vacuum cleaner, etc. Even wore them at a Packer game.

That's interesting. I don't think I'd heard of any connection there, and now I don't remember the dates for sure, but along about the time I had both wisdom teeth on the left side removed was also about the time I first saw an ENT specialist and learned about tinnitus.:laughing: However, the female dentist who removed those two did so with only the injection for anesthetic and had no trouble pulling them. Then on April 16, 2010, I had both wisdom teeth on the right side removed and I think the oral surgeon who did that just routinely puts everyone to sleep to do any extractions.:laughing: Anyway, I don't think he had any problem at all and it didn't take long.
