What Causes Hoarseness And Occasional Popping Of Ears?
I am a 60yr old female. I have been taking 25mg of DHEA for about 8 months. A few months ago I started having hoarseness that hasn't gone away, also occasional popping of my ears. I went to an ENT who diagnosed me with GERD and put me on prilosec...with no improvement. Can the DHEA be causing this?
