Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Wow! I don't yave hearing loss yet, but I do have tinnitis (ringing in the ear) primarily in my left ear. It's so bad that it hurts my ability to focus on anything because it's so loud and I can't tune it out. There is nothing that can be done for it through conventional medicine. Talking on the phone is difficult as well as watching a movie or t.v. show. I had suspected it was related to the implants, but now I'm convinced! My only question is to Rogene... How did you know that it was fungus related? it seems lots of things a fungus related when it comes to implants! But how does one find out? Could my body be totally infested with fungus right now and I don't even know? Eeeeeewwwwww! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 A neurologist who spoke to the Fort Worth implant support group commented that he was seeing an unusually number of implant women coming to him with hearing loss. . . He asked for a show of hands of those whose hearing was affected. An alarming number raised their hand. The woman next to me said that her hearing (in one ear) turned off suddenly while she was on the phone. It never improved. I was dx'd with Menier's disease - but I never experienced vertigo . . . I insisted at the time I didn't have Menier's - but finally gave up. A few years ago an ear doctor agreed I didn't have it. I would have had continuing bouts of vertigo with progressive hearing loss if I had. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
