hearingmiracle Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi may I know will tinnitus develop after CI surgery? Assuming the person doesn't have any history of tinnitus before.

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted August 24, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 There is no way to tell who will or won't get tinnitus. I had some tinitus before surgery but it was way worse after for about the first month. After activation it got better.

mcnarym1 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Like Kara said, there's really no way of knowing if it will develop. For me, I had it very bad before I had the surgery, due to sensorineural hearing loss. Once I got the surgery it got a little bit better but at that point I was so used to it. It may develop after surgery because you're messing with those nerves and if you make them "mad" then tinnitus can result. After my activation though, my tinnitus got SO much better. Today was the first day I was able to put my hearing aid back in my other ear and combined with the CI, I barely notice tinnitus. I hope you don't develop it if you don't have it already, but if you do get it from the surgery, stay calm! I can assure you that it will improve with the activation of the implant.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted September 14, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I agree it is different from person to person. Some might have it when they wake from surgery, some don't. I had it when I woke up with my first implant and it settled down within a day or two. I did not have this problem when I got my second implant.

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted September 16, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yeap - statistically, it's hard to say. There are theories about 2 types of tinnitus: one is central because of change in the hearing neuro-pathways; the second is a peripheral which depends on the status of hearing stimulation...

HearPeers Heroes Jdashiell Posted March 24, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 My first CI surgery was last year. The only tinnitus I experience in and out of shower when I move my right ear to wash or dry my ear. Very high pitch second CI surgery was yesterday and i noticed a lower pitch sound but it went away after a nap. weird Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/1315-will-tinnitus-develop-after-ci-surgery/#findComment-15122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted April 4, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi Adam, this is Adam ? Every person is different. Some have tinnitus and some don't after surgery. There is really no telling, it all depends on your brain.

pjandcompany Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I realize this is anecdotal, but I started taking 400 mg of magnesium for my Dupuytren's and Ledderhose disease and I no longer have tinnitus at all. As I said, may be coincedental, but I am enjoying no crickets in my ear!

It’s interesting to me that nearly 2 weeks post surgery and I am experiencing tinutus like Sounds in the newly implanted ear. sounds are random throughout the day and only last a few seconds. This began a few days ago. Very strage how the brain deals with things. It is not overwhelming at all, I just find it interesting that it occurs Quote Link to comment https://forum.hearpeers.com/topic/1315-will-tinnitus-develop-after-ci-surgery/#findComment-20728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted March 26, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Mine was a constant droning noise for the first month. After activation it got a lot better. Now I only have it at night but not nearly as bad.

Seems like it might be fading away. Two more weeks to go to activation.

HearPeers Heroes Jdashiell Posted April 3, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 As a follow up, I never had any issues with my first implant (Right side) i am anxious to see how I perform once I am activated on the left side now that I am finally implanted correctly. It’s been a looong wait. looking forward to hearing bilaterally.

Most often hearing is not perfect at the first activation. It takes some time for the brain to get accustomed to this new way of hearing. The direct electric stimulation is very different from acoustic waves coming in through the ear canal and migrating to the inner ear before the sounds are interpreted in the brain. Everyone deals with it differently. Just wait it’s pretty amazing when it all clicks in and you are hearing a new.
