Hi. My name is Danielle and I wear 2 Phonak Naida V Ups. I love my hearing aids to pieces and wear them 24/7, well almost. LOL Anyway, I am trying to sort out an issue that I have had for about 14 years, but worse in the last few years. When I have my hearing aids in, my left ear that has the worse loss (90-110 db) and a Eustachian tube dysfunction problem that is painful at times, seems to get aggrivated when sound is coming into my hearing aids. Every time I talk, sound comes into my hearing aids, and pretty much anything that makes sound will cause my nerve in my ear to make this shifting tinnitus sound. Its always there, making the same 5 or 6 tones that ring in my ears and when sound comes in, the pitch of my tinnitus shifts up a few tones, then when there is no sound being picked up by the hearing aid, the tones go back to ringing like before, about 5 or 6 different sounds all together. I cant go without my hearing aids since this weird tinnitus thing will drive me crazy and make me in a bad mood and frustrated. I also will put my hearing aids on "T" since it kills the microphones, and picks up interference which actually cancels out my tinnitus altogether. Its the only time I get relief from it. I hear this with any hearing aids in. My left ear doesn't get much help from a hearing aid except for getting the sensation of sound, sometimes loud sounds tickle the inside of my ear even though the sound is not seemingly loud to me. My right ear wont do it as bad but my left ear, also has zero pressure in it, a negative peak on the test, parts of an eardrum since it deteriorated on its own, without pain, which I am still very shocked that it can happen like that. I also get this intense pain in the side of my neck where the Eustachian is, and it feels like an intense pressure that wont let up, very painful. It will hurt for hours, sometimes a few days. I cant keep a hearing aid in it when it hurts like that.
Anyone with the same "shifting or reactive tinnitus" thing?
