Anyone's hearing affected

Posted , 9 users are following.

This afternoon something that i never experienced before striked suddenly as i was watching tv. My hearing kind of got fuzzy. It lasted for maybe 2 seconds but it was enough to give me a panic attack. Is this a part of peri and meno ? Has this happened to anyone. Scared the living daylights out of me

    Yes, I have constant tinnitus and sometimes my hearing goes fuzzy as well, usually in one ear. It is a frightening experience!

      I also have constant tinnitus, and hearing goes fuzzy on and off. It's one of my worst symptoms I would say. do you get pressure in your ears as well? I have pressure, fuzzy hearing on and off.. but tinnitus is constant along with headaches. never knew it was peri related. I don't know how much longer I can deal with this...

    Thank you wonderful ladies for your reply. Its comforting to know that it is a part of peri and meno. I thought i was loosing my hearing in that split second of it happening. These symptoms are crazy. Today i awoke with heart palpitations which now i can handle without panic or anxiety. Each day gets a bit easier because with time you get use to a symptom. Its when a new one arises that is scary.
