Ringing in the ears after giving birth

[dexy1389]

Hello ladies,

I already asked about this problem and it would mean a world to me if I could hear more experiences ( thanks Claire)! I got my tinnitus ( ear ringing) a week after giving birth with epidural/ spinal anesthesia.. went to an ENT and my hearing is fine... it’s not that loud ( thank God), but it really upsets me. Many many thanks!❤️🍀

Hello, I didn’t have ringing in my ears but I did have dizzy spells and nausea after the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with Labyrinthitis. It went away on its own after a few weeks x

Hello! I realise this is old but had to reply as also had ringing in my ears (right one to be precise) after birth of first child. I never experienced it before and It proper drove me mad. Still comes and goes and that was 5.5 years ago. I thought it was PTSD but it makes more sense it was spinal I had when I needed surgery after suffering severe blood loss during birth. I'd be interested to hear did it ever go for you? Mine is worse when I get a cold! I've come to accept it I guess.

Hello! Mine actually subsided significantly after one year, so now I hear it only sometimes if it's really quiet, as a very distant sound . In my case, I discovered that antihistamines help a lot. After I got tinnitus, I got several medications for anxiety and the only one that helped to actually lower down the sound was a strong antihistamine called Hydroxyzine 25mg which made it quiet for couple of days. Then, I started to take Loratadine 10mg (since it doesn't make me sleepy) and I have been taking it for a couple of months, and my T is almost completely gone.
