Comment on An Interview with Lola De La Mata about tinnitus

Comments

Tinnitus can also be caused by tumour (Vestibular schwannoma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_schwannoma). I sometimes hear high pitched sound (like hiss) in my left ear and have hearing loss of higher frequencies. I was luckily that it was discovered at MRI with contrast. You can treat it with gamma knife ( Radiosurgery ), but sadly in my case it quite near the nerve, so I can't do it, but lucky it is too small for surgery and isn't malignant. So currently I have to simply go to MRI yearly and observe.

(After party i got quite sick with bacterial infection, and that caused me to go few doctors, one I think sixth doctor audiologist recommended to me MRI, as this is quite rare)
