突発性難聴のときにお世話になった先生が回診時に言っていたこと
「変化があることはいいことです」
突発性難聴により聴力が激減し耳鳴りが爆音のときの入院中の話
で、最近、耳鳴りが大きくなったりする
腫瘍の大きさに変化がある証拠と勝手に解釈している
で。耳鳴りの音ですが
今までは キーン、シーン、カリカリなどでした
以前ブログに残したはず。。。
で、今は、ボーとかヒュンヒュンてのが混じったり
出たり、出なかったりを繰り返す
ちょっと大きくて、日常的に会話やテレビの視聴にほんの少し
困っている
で、「あれ」とそっくりですが
聴力検査で検査しているのと違う方で流されるノイズにそっくり
あそこまで大きくないが、近い音量が四六時中流れてます
消えるか、もうちょっと小さくならんかなぁです
When I was hospitalized for sudden hearing loss, I remember the doctor making rounds saying something that stuck with me:
"Any change is a good sign."
At that time, my hearing had drastically declined, and the tinnitus was unbearably loud.
Recently, I've noticed that my tinnitus has been fluctuating—sometimes getting louder.
I interpret this as a sign that there might be changes in the size of my tumor.
As for the sounds of my tinnitus, they’ve changed over time.
Previously, it was mostly high-pitched tones like keeeen or sheeeen, and occasionally scratchy noises. I think I wrote about this in a blog before.
Now, there are new sounds mixed in, like a low booo or hyun-hyun sounds, which come and go.
The volume is slightly louder than before, and it occasionally interferes with daily conversations and watching TV.
It reminds me of the noise you hear during a hearing test—but from the opposite ear being tested.
Although it’s not as loud as that, the similarity is striking.
This constant noise is there all the time, and I can’t help but wish it would either go away or at least become quieter.
