How Many Of You Are Experiencing Ringing In Your Ears?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dallas, TX

I was diagnosed with MGUS in 2020–No ringing—a few aches every now and then. However, in March of 2021, I started having ringing in my ears. Is this a common symptom of this disease? What other health issues cause ringing in the ears. (Brain)

I have done some research and found that there may be a disconnect of blood vessels in the brain. Anyone with solid answers? I did see an audiologist and was told that I have perfect hearing. He had no answers for ringing. . .

Well, I received responses from both oncologists and both said that the ringing in the ears is not a symptom of Myeloma. However, both did say that many medications could cause ringing in the ears.

I recall that I started using Aspercream when I first started having aches about two years ago—not knowing the possible side effects:

Dr's are so evasive about ringing in the ears with Myeloma and the treatments taken. There really isn't a cure all. Trial and error. What helps one person may not help the next. I have discovered good hydration often works for me.

I just emailed both of my oncologists to ask if ringing in the ears is a common symptom of MM. I will share answers. Praying for all of us! Believing for that MM cure with no side effects! God is able!✝️

I had great hearing until I was diagnosed with myeloma. The ringing started soon after diagnosis. I was on Vancomycin for pneumonia. Velcade, Revlimid and Pomalyst can cause tinnitus. Also aspirin contributes to hearing loss. I have moderate hearing loss. I plan to get hearing aides when I figure out which ones to get.😏

I have had ringing in my ears that comes and goes too. If anyone finds out why let me know. I was on RVD protocol to RV and now on Revlimid maintenance . Healthtree has a Cure Hub where MM patients can ask patients for causes of symptoms.
