Ear problems ?
Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone has had ear issues related to ms, more specifically hyperacousy, an echo, or tinnitus?
One week ago, I suddenly started hearing sounds in my right ear with a metallic echo, kind of like if you speak near a ventilator. Then I developed tinnitus, as well as vertigo, dizziness, but now it is more brain fog rather than vertigo. I had headaches but not a lot, as well as nausea sometimes, and feeling like my calves are tighter. Sometimes the ear feels full.
The symptoms vary in intensity depending on the day/position (I think), however, it has not gone away. Like, for example, since last week I always have this metallic echo, but sometimes it's louder, sometimes less loud.
I went to an ear doctor to check if it's ear related, altho certain symptoms really did feel familiar from ms (brain fog, nausea, headache), but he said there's no ear problem he can see, and my audition is the same in both ears except that i'm more sensitive to loud sounds in the right ear.
My neurologist is not a ms specialist, so I know he will say it's not related, but I wanted to ask if anyone had a similar symptom, when the ear is normal, but you can hear this weird metallic echo in your ear when you speak or there is noise?
I've been on ocrevus for 5 months, but we don't know yet if my ms is under control because it's highly active and i had a relapse 1 month after starting the treatment. I'm supposed to have a new dose next month.
