Tinnitus After Pregnancy / Delivery

I noticed tinnitus in my right ear about  3 days after I gave birth to my son.
It has now been 16 days since I had my son and I am still having the same
ringing in my right ear. It comes and goes (several days at a time).

Any advice? Should I be concerned?

I have several doctors in the family and they all say it may be hormonal.

It is bothersome, but I only worry about permanent damage.

ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

My online research has been mixed and I would love some concrete information.
MANY MANY THANKS!!!!

Re: Tinnitus After Pregnancy / Delivery

Hi Leslie,

Welcome to the forum.

It is not rare that women get tinnitus during or after pregnancy. I regularly get emails and forum entries in this respect (see for instance this thread ). As your doctors said as well, it is most likely related to hormonal changes, so not really something to worry about. Once your hormones are back to normal again, it may well vanish on its own. It certainly is not related to any kind of permanent damage.
