Guess who got really sick and ended up with a permanent case of tachycardia? Me. -_-

20-14,000htz but a lot of it just sounds like my tinnitus. ... I have possible mild to moderate hearing loss according to an online test.

According the to audiologist she has mild hearing loss, in low and high frequencies. They didn't let us see the audiogram or anything just transferred it to her doctor so we are all confused at the moment and the doctor hasn't called either.-_- I'll keep those oticons in mind! I didn't know...

Got the results for my sister. She has APD and her ears don't pick up on some frequencies at all. They said they thought it might be there equipment though, they aren't sure. They told her to get either a hearing aid for apd or an fm system. Hopefully i'll get my testing done soon. It's taking a...

Sister is heading to her appointment today with the ENT, i'll let you all know the results. I'll be getting my appointment and test sometime next month hopefully.

Safarigirl thanks :) Chadbert definitely sounds like that could be what i have. Makes sense. Lasting weeks? That sucks, Today i was out shopping and my mom had to grab my attention a few times because i gave up on the conversation. Having that for weeks would drive crazy.

Anij; I didn't know APD did that! Thanks for the info. It just seems there's so many possibilities. :( *I have a history of middle ear infections and head trama, so i'm leaning towards the possibility of DEH or menieres along with APD.

I didn't know SNHL could fluctuate. I have much to learn. That sounds a lot like what my sister has, her hearing drops for up to a day or two at a time sometimes and she says we sound like we're mumbling to her when it happens. Except she isn't hoh that we know of, i'm dragging her to the...

Strange. I wonder what causes it, maybe it's not just dehydration?

Chadburt kind of like both (a lot of crackle like when your smashing a potato chip bag, other times it may just be a pop or two) , when there is an actual elevation change like when i was on a plan going to germany, my ears hurt the entire time and wouldn't pop. The crackling and popping happens...

That must of been scary... I don't know if anyone in my family has ever had hearing problems, no one has ever said anything about it. But there have been a lot of firsts lately... If i get by with something like meniere's and nothing else it would be a miracle.

Really? I didn't know that. I will definitely drink more water. I think your right on with the DEH, i just looked at what causes it and found that it can be caused by: Labyrinthitis, that one vertigo attack i had included every single symptom of it, and it was after i had a severe ear ache...

Haven't seen a doctor yet, I'm working on scheduling an appoint with an ENT this week. I don't have hearing loss that i know of, sometimes strange things happen with my left too but my hearing is pretty sharp except when it comes to words, but that could just be my intolerance for noise...

* More facts: My vacations as a kid were spent visiting family friends on the navajo reservation. My babysitters were all navajo. We were friends with the medicine man. My grandpa is full blood lakota sioux and goes to powows etc. every summer.

Thanks Safarigirl2011 for a step to research! Do you think it may be sensorineural?
