| Brain, I have a question... Does the ringing have to be during the aura? Or could it be at any given time...like a simple partial seizure for instance? My doctor swears that I have temporal lobe epilepsy but I somewhat disagree with him. We have diagnosed what type of epilepsy I have due to what my seizures look like, not what EEGs show...EEGs have been inconsisitant. -- Focus too deep in brain we believe... I thought the ringing was anxiety or medications or something... Thanks, Brandi |

ANSWER: YES and NO. Yes, you it is temporal lobe epilepsy or FLE or MTLE or a combination of some of them or all; but NO it doesn't have to be an aura at all. It can be merely a misfiring or an overactive activity going on in your brain; this is exactly what Shands Hospital Neurology had informed me. Even though I am profoundly deaf, I still get them once in a blue moon. Most people usually get them as a result from a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), which as known as "ringing in the ears" and usually subsides over a period of time after being hit in the head, for a generalized common example. Even high grade fevers can trigger such. Certain meds can trigger this, and is considered a reaction or possibility an allergic reaction. There are many things that can cause this. But what a Doctor has to look at is the long term of it: 1) Does it increase? 2) Does it go away if we change meds? 3) Does it stay the same? 4) Has it always been this way? 5) Did it just suddenly start? If so, did you just have a major seizure and strike your head on something? If unsure, then a Scan should be performed to check to make sure there's no damages or injuries inside of your head, including blood clot(s), etc. 6) Does it come and go? If so - is it the same when it does? Do you have a seizure when it does come (If so it would be considered an aura)? There's a lot to look into - which can be any- thing from Food (sugar) to Stress as well on top of it all. Usually the Neurologist or Epileptologist would want to know when it's happening so they could perform an EEG or ambulatory EEG on the spot when it IS happening to see if they can capture anything. ===========================================

| Sounds like tinnitus to me. My father has it too. It is exacerbated in his case by high blood pressure and/or spicy foods.

(Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist) and an Audiogram will determine that as well, and as well as you stated - but as for spicy foods? That's a new one ... unless you're in reference to Food Allergy? |

| See, mine's been going on for YEARS.....thru med changes, diet changes, hormonal changes, you name it......and it doesn't correspond to szs or even migraines for that matter. I WISH it did......it would make more LOGICAL sense to me........I've had it for as long as I can remember. I have MRI's done every year anyway, and EEGs a MINIMUM of 1x a year, usually 2x (last year was 4). But like I said before, the last 2 EEGs were the FIRST time ANY seizure activity had EVER shown up on any EEG in my LIFE. Go figure. I just don't get it.......... Me, at a loss for words........weird....... |

| No, no food allergy. Peppers do affect brain chemistry and blood circulation.

| i have it i would call it tinnitus except sometimes its not so bad, i relate it to sleep deprivation since ive kept a log it seems to not be there when i feel good but as soon as i feel any kind of weird there it is, try listening to music alot or in the background also i like to eliminate anything that rings similar and if you just get used to it and realize that id doesnt block any other sounds its not so bad it kinda goes away the moment thers another sound then right back |
