Question I was told tinnitus is brain activity caused by lack of noise transmission to the brain when we lose hearing in one or both of our ears. If this is true then why does the tinnitus increase to a roar when I am exposed to Increased noise in a crowded room, seems the tinnitus should decrease instead of increase? Just so much to learn yet. Hope u all have one of those rare good days with this diease.
It's not --- necessarily --- true. There are mulitiple causes of tinnitus, and most are unknown in any useful or treatable detail. Curious, is it not, that so medical professionals state with absolute confidence that Meniere's Disease is idiopathic, that it's causes and prevention of those causes are simply not possible to be known; and turn right around and make wonderfully definitive (but useless) statements about tinnitus causes? Especially when sound research and clinical practice so clearly shows a herpes viral cause for most Meniere's cases ---- which can be successfully treated in most cases by antiherpetic drugs. Readers, if they haven't yet, must learn to scrutinize and hold in abeyance most professional doctrines on anything related to Meniere's; to be accurately corrected or affirmed by others. Until medical information was available on the Internet, mostly in previous centuries, physicians were regarded to be all-knowing priests of health and therapy. "It's what the doctor ordered." Today, the insufficiencies and multiplicities of medical perspectives in most medical conditions is becoming understood by the public. It's no longer sufficient to "get a second opinion." Today, one must compile and examine a pile of diverse information on our medical conditions. And there is no better place to do this regarding Meniere's than here, especially in the Database: http://menieres.org/talk/index.php?board=3.0 --John of Ohio
