well,i'm pretty positive that with the carbon monoxide poisoning along with my

moldy home exposure, this is what has happened to my ears.

I have some bad balance problems,really bad with eyes closed. and heraing

noises, ringing alot,

very sensitive to some noises, cant hear others depending on tones.

and it just plain hurts when it's aggervated.

I have tinnitus (the ringing in the ears) . Melatonin helps. 3mgs is the normal

dose. I've also had body and osteopathic work done which helps me a lot. The

books say to make sure you don't have any wax buildup in your ears. Good luck.

No one diagnosed me. I diagnosed myself. At first I thought the sound was

coming from outside of my head: the refrigerator, etc. I'd walk around the

house looking for the buzzing. I finally realized the sound was coming from my

own head. I knew this was tinnitus I did go to my doctor after that and read a

couple books about it. That's where I found out about ear wax, melatonin and

getting the body work. My tinnitus gets worse when I have migraines and better

when I get neck adjustments. The melatonin also helps some but it takes a

while. My problem isn't as severe as yours though. I haven't lost my hearing

and I don't have vertigo (only when my bp gets too low); in fact, my hearing is

just as sensitive as my sense of smell. Have you had a doctor look in your ears

to at least rule out any obstructions, inflammation or infection?

Ann,

I have tinnitis also. It notice it the most when I have travelled in car and

then get home and turn off the engine...all of a sudden all that noise from car

and traffic, and I notice everything is quiet but my earings are ringing really

loud. However they are ringing now and I just got up but usually I'm just not

paying attention.

I've always had a tendency to build up wax in ears. Is that a big contributor?

I don't take melatonin. Hadn't heard of that.

Also can I ask what kind of osteopathic work did you have done? Thought

osteopathy was work on skeletin. Does that help? Thanks
