Does a laby fix hearing your own voice in ear?

I had a bit of that problem before the laby. You are going to hear nothing from the dead ear. Well, nothing plus a whole bunch of tinnitus that, for me, still varies in tone and pitch and volume all the time. But no autophony.

 

Tinnitus is the only hearing you will have in your laby ear if you want to call it that. Tinnitus comes from the brain. As it was explained to me....the brain is trying to hear sounds from your ear and when it doesn't it produces its own music!!! My laby was 7 years ago and the tinnitus has never left. Some days are horrible and others I hardly notice it. For me it goes with loud surroundings, the louder the area the stronger the tinnitus. Also weather patterns affect the noise level.

 

That is the biggest thing that antivirals did for me. It eliminated it. It was my worst symptom. They also got rid of tinnitus and hypercussis. Almost all the distortion.

 

That's not a usual Meniere's symptom. (Not that I'm a doctor.) If you're hearing that, or even worse your eyeballs moving around, it's something else. Look up SCDS and see if that matches. Of course, your doctor would have a better way to diagnose something like that.

 

I dissent on this on. I certainly had autophony in spades 24/7 for 9 months until antivirals stopped it. I was diagnosed with Cochlear hydrops aka menieres variant, by well qualified specialists in both Pittsburgh and Los Angeles and had all the supporting tests. It was not my only symptom but it was my worst one. It may not be the most common symptom but it defintely can be part of it.
