My Daughter Is Having A Lot Of Problems With Her

Hyperacusis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Migraine Associated Vertigo (MAV) may be the cause of her dizziness and hyperacusis.
2. Any correlation to her parotid surgery will be very rare. That too if Audiometry tests can demonstrate a decreased or absent stapedial reflex on that side.
3. A complete Audiometry: (PTA) Pure Tone Audiometry, (LDL) Loudness Discomfort Levels, Impedance Audiometry, OAE (Oto Acoustic Emission) test, ABR (Auditory Brainstem Recording), VEMP (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials) tests and a complete set of Balance tests using VNG (VideoNystagmoGraphy) need to be done.
6. Reports of the above will help. Surgery notes if available, can be revisited. Medications received in the past, any ear or head trauma and central (brain) related causes have to be ruled out. Thus many un-related disorders need to be ruled out.
5. Migraine Associated Vertigo (MAV) will respond to anti-migraine medication. Magnesium supplements will help.
6. Does she have Tinnitus? Other options are TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy). This may be of use for decreasing her hypercusis problem.
7. Rarely, micro-ear surgery to dampen the oval and round windows may help in unresponsive cases.
I hope that I have answered your question. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
