Does fibro cause hearing loss? I have had some in my left ear. Steroid pak did not work. No infection. No impacted ear wax.. MRI showed nothing wrong. I just wanted to check before I pursued any further.

Members shared varied experiences regarding hearing issues and fibromyalgia, with several describing intermittent problems like tinnitus, amplified sounds, temporary hearing loss, and ear pain, though test results often showed nothing abnormal. Many community members noted that tinnitus is common in fibromyalgia, though hearing loss itself was more often attributed to age, injuries like concussions, or side effects from medications such as Lyrica, amitriptyline, and Cymbalta. A recurring theme was the frustration of dealing with unexplained symptoms, the trial and error of treatments like hearing aids, and the supportive encouragement to keep seeking relief and answers.

I have hearing loss in my right ear, ringing all the time. Tried a hearing aid, Doesn’t help with hearing but it does block out all that white noise and ringing.
