Red face Constant ringing in ears

Has anyone experienced constant ringing in their ears after a bad seizure? I am just wondering if this is going to go away soon.. I am not sure what to do since I don't have a neuro anymore can anyone suggest?

Oh, the ringing, will it ever stop! Hi, Koko. I'm a *newbie.* I've been experiencing seizures for 11 years. I wasn't dx'ed until 5 years ago, though. The ringing in my ears started appr. 3 years ago. It was accompanied by an odd vibrating sound about 2 years ago. My neuro, now matter how much I complained, would simply give the simple "MmmHmm's" and "I see's" as he wrote in my chart. Then, at the end of my sessions would say, "About your ear...would you like me to refer you to an Ears,Nose,Throat Doctor?" After a year of both the ringing and the vibrations, I gave up on my neuro assuming it was obviously not connected with the epilepsy considering his lack of reaction during every appointment. Now, I just look like an idiot when the ear defect kicks in and I start banging my ear repeatedly yelling, "StopitStopitStopit" I'm kidding about that. It gradually diminished appr. a year later. Perhaps you will be luckier than I and the petty annoyance will leave you sooner.

You probably won't want to hear this Koko,...but,I have been diagnosed with tinnitus.It started a few years ago and It was just a swishing noise,then It progressed to a ringing noise and now I have a noise like an electrical generator.I have been fitted with two hearing aids to allow me to hear over the sound,and am in the meantime waiting for a masker,or white noise I don't know whether you have heard of these.It's quite a complicated subject and I am only just beginning to understand what tinnitus Is.Apparently, taking A.E.D's,makes the tinnitus worse,and so does asprin.I have been given loads of information about It but like I said It's complicated.I go for another hearing test tommorow In Leeds.Anyway hope yours ringing clears up.I'm falling apart man,lol.

Well as we get older I expect for things to go wrong with our aging bodies...I am going deaf in one ear but its been like that for a long time and I need corrective glasses on one side (this is because of eye surgery) this ringing just started after this last real bad seizure and your not alone we are both falling apart..LOL

Hugs
Koko

Hi guys, I have a low grade ringing constantly. But I've been to quite a few rock concerts, so that can't help. I also have this weird sensation: my ear makes a sound like when wind hits a microphone and there's also a fluttering feeling. Does anyone know what I mean? It only started since I got on Dilantin.
