Thyroid and Tinnitus
rda...@earthlink.net
Has anyone heard that hypothyroidism (low thyroid) has a direct
correlation to the tinnitus problem. Recently, I read an article
from an MD who treated patients for 50 years with low thyroid
problems. In almost every case with the patients who had tinnitus
and corrected the thyroid problem, the tinnitus ceased.
Most conventional doctors will require you to get a thyroid blood
test. Many times these tests will show normal thyroid results yet
you may still be hypothyroid.The best way to test for low thyroid
is to take you temp. while lying in bed just before you up in
the
morning . Place the thermometer under your armpit for 10 min.
Your
"at rest" temp should be between 97.7 - 98.2 If you temp reads
below 97.7 chances are that you may have a thyroid problem.

Interesting - I know that my thyroid is a bit low, but not low enough for
meds, according to my doctor. He just has me take a kelp pill daily.
Where is this article? I'd like to read it.

I have suspected for a long time that I have a low thyroid. I had it
tested again last fall and the results came out low-normal. My body temp
in the morning is well below 97.7 with the thermometer/armpit method.
What's my next step in getting diagnosed/treated, if my bloodwork comes
out negative? Thanks for any help you can give -

I have been lurking in this group looking for information for a friend.
The usual test for normal thyroid function is a TSH (thyroid stimulating
hormone)test. The temperature test mentioned below is pretty
nonspecific for hypothyroidism. My temperature is normally about 97.2 -
97.5F during deep sleep and immediately after. I have no symptoms of
hypothyroidism.

Is it possible that your reading was flawed? How far below 97.7? Did you
check the temp again later to see if you got a normal reading in the same
way, as a control?

I've checked my temperature with this method many times, and it comes up
barely 95 degrees! I've often wondered if I've died during the night, and
am rising like Lazarus on a daily basis. :-)
