Sudden roaring in ears?

16 years ago

Hi all,

I haven't had a period in 3-4 years, but continue to feel like my ovaries are occasionally spitting things out, which causes that cascade of yukky hormone fluctuations.

I saw my ENT last week for burning/pressure in my sinuses. I was concerned that my CPAP was causing it. He ordered allergy testing, which is tomorrow.

I had suspected that my hormones were acting up, since I seem to have a set of symptoms when that happens......sinus dryness, anxiety, trouble swallowing, fatigue, painful joints and muscles, etc.

After I left the ENTs office last week, my ovaries began to hurt really bad.......so I KNOW its my hormones.

Anyhow, last night, I suddenly had the worst roaring in my ears I've ever experienced. I really couldn't hear much of anything else. It was horrible. This morning its a little better. But I was wondering........do any of you get occasional roaring in your ears with hormone fluctuations?

Geez.......is there anything that fluctuating hormones don't mess up???

Thanks.

Hi Catherinet - I too had Tinnitus, the ringing and buzzing in my ears. I have done some research and found that it does happen in menopause but can also be caused by a condition known as Otosclerosis, which effects the middle ear. It has to do with bone growth on the tiny stapes bones in the middle ear. The bones prevent the middle ear bones from conducting signals going to the inner ear. There has been evidence showing that HRT can be a problem when it comes to tinnitus during menopause, among other things. Of course, it becomes more common the older we get also. Unfortunately I haven't found anything to take care of this but I thought this might be some interesting information for you anyway. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks Bobbi,
I sure can't imagine living with this happening very often. It was awful! I've seen a supplement supposedly made for tinnitus, but its probably useless.
I'm not aging very gracefully!
Thanks for your help.

It's mine. I think they were having a "Best Yarn" contest here at GW on the 'Favorites' forum a few years ago. I wrote it then & saved it in my "Tidbits and Choice Morsels" file in case I needed it later. This whole forum needs livening up sooo bad ..... I thought it might make someone smile. ;o) Al ... and I'm no Mark Twain! ;o)

I agree with you - to a point (hate turtle soup myself). I was really just kidding - would never release something like this into the wild - know what sort of chaos that can cause. Just felt sorry for them, as they were quite large & obviously overcrowded for their size. Although I would wonder what disease(s) they might have that native red-ears (we do have them here) wouldn't already have or been exposed to. I'm surprised that you've found them/consider them "mean". I've never found them so - even adults - when I kept them. In fact, they were quite gentle & would carefully take food from my fingers without ever so much as grazing me.

Given the extreme change you're describing, I think you do have reason to be concern. If you can't identify any changes in his life that may be giving him stress, then I think you need to dig deeper. Sorry to suggest this, but is there anyone who could be abusing him? A babysitter, teacher, janitor, clergyman, playmate? Sounds as if this has been escalating for about 2 months? If you haven't yet, it's probably time to speak with your pediatrician and perhaps an expert on pediatric behavior. If there is something medical going on (bi-polar, for example--I was just seeing a program recently about the fact that a lot of children who have it aren't properly diagnosed) it needs to be identified and treated. If he's reacting to some sort of abuse, then you need to find out from whom and get things sorted out there. I'm curious--what explanation does HE give when you ask him why he's behaving like this? How does he assess and explain his tantrums? Good luck.

Looks like over-watering/a water-retentive soil is the likely issue, but aluminum toxicity is a severely limiting condition that can occur when aluminum is available and the pH of the soil solution is 5.0 or lower; so you'd do well to lose the aluminum pie plate or at least raise the pot up on blocks so the effluent that drains from the pot has no pathway back into the soil. Allowing plants to sit in the drained effluent defeats the purpose of flushing the soil when we water. Al
