Can Wisdom Teeth Removal Cause Hearing Loss?

default
Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2015
Question: Hi i have been in contact with you three times and have yet another question. I as previously stated been diognoised with meniers disease and viral labrenthitis four plus months ago. I take in less then 2000 mg of sodium, absolutly avoide caffine, chocolate and have very limited alcholol., no more then 2 drinks once a week. I was also diognoised with a seziure disorder and have subsequently seen a new neurologist whom i like and we agreed to do a third eeg in office, my first two were 72 hour video done in april of this year. One showed generalized seziures the second partial. I have never actually had a seziure but understand they can manifest in many ways. I will get the results on tuesday and we will then decide if medication will be utalized. I tried keppra but it was a total nightmare. Here is my question in the past 4 years i have had brain fog, unexplained aches and numbness in my face, recent headaches, chronic inflammation, my last sed rate was 39 but my pcp said thats because i am overweight. I woke up 8 days ago with total hearing loss in my right ear that came back after 2 days but i have never really ever felt well. I don't ever remember a time since my 20s where i had a great feeling day. I was wondering if this could be wisdom tooth related. I am almost fourty. My right wisdom tooth is sideways impacted and black. Could this be the real cause of the ear pressure, tinittis, svt, or even brain abnormalities. Could a rotten tooth cause these type of health problems. Maybe i am grasping at straws but there just seems to be so much wrong with many diognosis and my intuition says maybe its my tooth. Can a wisdom tooth cause ear pressure, dizzyness, tinittis, rapid heart rate ect.
thank you, XXXXXXX
