Am I Having Tinnitus And Hearing Loss Due To Amalgam Filling?
I have many deep amalgam fillings , some over 40 years old. I also have tinnitus and hearing loss. Do you think it's related? Even if not, should I seriously consider removing all my silver fillings to prevent mercury poisoning and what are the protective measures I should ask for to protect myself from additional mercury exposure during the removal? Thank you, Anna

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have tinitus and hearing loss no it is not related to amalgam filling , for tinitus and hearing loss you should consult ENT surgeon for checkup .
If you wont have any problem with amalgam dont go for removal of filling as it is not related to hearing loss.
Hope this will help you.
