Today, after months of daily migraines and doctor's visits, I've now been told that my "temporary" hearing loss has nothing to do with my migraines, nor is it temporary at all. FML

If you can afford to, I'd suggest you get a second opinion - I find it very hard to believe that those two symptoms occurred completely independently of each other. Hope you get better soon.

Those two events occurring closely together should be a major red flag to any medical professional worth the paper their degree is written on. From those two symptoms alone, you could be looking at a brain tumor, a concussion, inflammation of the brain and a whole boat of other nasty and possibly lethal medical issues. If your doctor hasn't ordered an MRI, or CAT scan, you should look for a doctor who will order them, stat. That they are being so unconcerned about this says a lot about them, and none of it good. Please get a second opinion, OP, even if it could be expensive. Being in debt sucks, but it's better than being dead.

This happened to my AMSL teacher. She got an intense fever when she was young and lost her hearing, go to a different doctor.

I'd be interested to know what's causing your migraines. Last few months I've been getting them weekly, sometimes twice, meow I usually get headaches a lot but not migraines as much until meow

You might wanna see a neurologist. I have chronic migraines, had them all my life, and I got used to the pain. You body adjusts very quickly, and what you might think is a normal headache could be a migraine that just doesn't feel all that severe anymore. There are both natural and medical ways to deal with migraines very easily, and non-invasively. Just a thought.

As someone who also suffers from hearing loss, I can feel your pain. It sucks but you learn to live with it. I don't know how severe it is for you though, if its complete or just a certain range like me. You'll be OK don't worry.

My hearing loss is really odd, mostly on mid-range frequencies and lower. My high pitch hearing is basically fine, so loud noises are basically no different to "horrible screeching pain".

For me I have a high range loss, which I was told means I can hear men better then woman since women are generally higher pitched. I don't know what it's called but I also have a thing where I will hear someone say something but the meaning won't click till 30 seconds later.

You should see a specialist. Hearing loss can be the first sign of serious neurological problems

Seeing as tho it is illegal in some parts of the world, I will be careful with my wording but try and get THC oil or anything in fact with THC. Will help with the migraines all while relieving stress!!

Okay, as someone with chronic migraines and ear problems, I can honestly tell you that having an infection in the ear, fluid build-up, or just built up ear wax CAN, in fact, cause migraines. Hearing loss can happen as well in any of these cases, temporary or not. I would suggest a good neurologist and an ENT, along with a general practitioner to take a good look at you. Sometimes, it's hard to find a doctor, or doctors, who will listen to you and actually take the initiative to look into things that may mean they have to tell you to go to another doctor.

I had profound hearing loss, migraines and Tinnitus in both of my ears. I met a qualified chiropractor who yanked my neck so hard, I thought he was taking my head off, and after only a few visits I'm 110% better.

Uh, hi everyone, Op here, contrary to the info here, I am NOT a woman, and I don't live in ohio. Maybe I'm the only one seeing that but whatever. My doctor has recently taken me off of my migraine medication as they think that that is the cause, but so far the only effect this has had is putting me back into daily, blinding pain. Not fun. To answer some questions, yes, I have seen an ENT but not a neurologist. I have indeed switched doctors many times in my life, but none have taken my symptoms seriously, and most have told my mother that it's not real (of course not telling me this, which was infuriating and made me switch doctors AGAIN). Apologies for the post being vague, didn't want to post a life story and lose the humor in the post just for the sake of a long winded explanation.
