Ringing in Ears - Any Reason BESIDES Anemia

[NYgirl]

It's back...after six months ringing ringing ding **** Avon lady.

On one side I can barely hear LOL.

Is there any reason aside from anemia to get the ringing? I honestly cannot remember, it's been so long.

I don't think I am "that" low - probably around 10.5 - 11 or so on my hgb but the ringing is driving me nuts.  I don't want to go have a CBC if there is another reason it could be.

Happy friday oh shot friends and not shot night friends!

May it be side free :)

You were sick a few weeks ago and it could have settled in the ear , you may need a water pill to clear up the fluid.  It has happened to me even before tx and that's what I did, in a day or so it was gone.

BTW-- please read your e-mail, I'm still waiting for an answer. :)

I'd suggest a visit to a good ENT who has a number of diagnostic tools at their disposal. It may be a hearing issue or something as simple as was in the ears, which btw you should never try and remove yourself and don't ask me how I know :)

That said, Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is very common and could be caused by a whole host of things including the treatment drugs, other diseases, or even stress. But the ENT doctor is a good place to start to rule out the basics.

BTW have you ever tried to answer when it rings?

Actually, studies suggest that "was" in the ears is not simple at all -- didn't CDM have that problem at one point?

Fortunately, I was referring to *wax*.

You would think by now they would know nobodys home, and quit calling.

Mine too!  It drives me crazy.  And sometimes I really do answer the phone (really pathetic feeling to say "hello" and hear nothing.  Horror movie-esque.)

Mine, too, was MUCH worse when the anemia really kicked me (though it's never gone away completely).  I'm off procrit for 2 weeks now and mine are ringing more.  I'm worried that the anemia is coming back (more horror movie...)

I have nothing to offer but solidarity.  Gotta go--the phone is ringing...
