I've already had multiple hearing tests at the audiologist. On 11/7, I have a 1.5 hour test called a VNG (with a different audiologist) and I dread it. No coffee for two days prior. Then I'll see an ENT doctor.

My tinnitus won't stop either.

two ladies at work have asked me to go to shows right before it. one even asked me to see the Who in DC and I told her it's too soon before I see the ENT.

Losing your hearing is not fun.

    Is it all from going to concerts and listening to loud music?
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    I'm not sure b/c one ENT told me years ago that I have TMJ, do you know what that means? I can't explain it but it's something to do with your jaw.
    I just want to find out why I'm light headed all the time.

    I will PM you in a little bit. On the bus. I went through 2.5 years of hell and vertigo.

    I had TMJ, would also get these high pitched noises in my ear. But once I corrected my bite, it went away.

    I got into a few fights in High school and it knocked one of my back teeth out of place. That was causing my bite to be just a mm off, that was the issue.

    I fixed it, now it's great.

    I've no balance at all. I can fuck like a rabbit, but give me a bike even with stabilizers on it, and I'll fall off.

    initially, when my ringing began in my ears in my late twenties (around 1988), I blamed it on peter frampton. my first husband and I saw him from the SIXTH row in 1982 and he blasted me! (no ear plugs back then.) It was a heavenly blast though ;)
