Hi everyone - I was wondering if anyone else has experienced hearing loss as a symptom of ptsd or related to trauma?
I recently have been recovering from trauma, and have been dealing with this - it definitely seems connected (related to triggers). My trauma is not related to ears at all either - it's emotional/mental/physical, but not like a head injury. |

Dear DarkWillow117,
That sounds scary. I have not experienced that symptom myself but maybe others here have. Hope you find the answer! Sincerely yours, Yao Wen |

I'm so sorry. I don't think I have any hearing loss, but my husband has loss in one ear from the Vietnam War.

Cool username! I have hearing loss but I've had it since birth....not related to trauma. I suppose it could be some sort of conversion disorder but I'm not a doctor so that's just my left field suggestion.

Thanks! It's from Buffy...
And thank you all for the replies - I'll keep noting when it happens. It's definitely freaking me out quite a bit, but I tend to have physical responses to trauma/anxiety, so it's not totally surprising, I guess. |

If you don't mind me asking, as part of your recovery, were you prescribed any specific anti-psychotic medications DarkWillow117? Just wondering if your hearing loss symptoms might be to do with medication side effects. I have reason to believe at least one anti-psych med could trigger hearing loss.

@DarkWillow117
Actually there are quite a number of medications listed on the internet linked to hearing loss = 'ototoxic'. |

I believe that exposure to EH was caused some damage to my inner ear canal. I have momentary Tinnitus, followed by a sharp stabbing pain in my ear canal. Would this be anything like what you're referring to? All the best Shane |

Would any of you upon this post have what's best described as momentary Tinnitus at random times, this accompanies a feeling of pressure within the ear canal after heavey periods of hearing voices 24/7 for years at a time.
The tonal sound is a lot like Audiogram have any of you ever noticed at all. And would you have self-talk or silent speech live streaming, as again this is the best way to describe it. |

I view mine as a result of some kind of frequency involving my experiences of 'voices' and 'Tonal' thing, that it sounds man-made like an audiogram hearing test. I hope that maybe I will get to the bottom of this and know the how what and why I was subject to these things, I suppose from birth really. as you know the your life's patterns, as they repeat certain themes, events, feeling, and situations. I think would be the same for most people, though for some of us it reflects this Stephen King Carrie type story. |
