I was diagnosed with MGUS in 2020–No ringing—a few aches every now and then. However, in March of 2021, I started having ringing in my ears. Is this a common symptom of this disease? What other health issues cause ringing in the ears. (Brain)

I have done some research and found that there may be a disconnect of blood vessels in the brain. Anyone with solid answers? I did see an audiologist and was told that I have perfect hearing. He had no answers for ringing. . .

Ringing in the ears can really be hard to deal with. I found that having good hearing aids stops the ringing while wearing them. The frequencies you don't hear are being filled with alternate sounds instead of ringing with really good hearing aids .

Well, I received responses from both oncologists and both said that the ringing in the ears is not a symptom of Myeloma. However, both did say that many medications could cause ringing in the ears.

I recall that I started using Aspercream when I first started having aches about two years ago—not knowing the possible side effects:

I find that when I use my hearing aids I never hear the ringing or buzzing in my ears. But when I take my hearing aids out the ringing or buzzing is there. However after 50 + years I just pay no attention to it. It seems to work because I sleep 8 hours or more every night. It might be mind over matter. God bless you all. Amen and Amen 🙏 Jack

Dr's are so evasive about ringing in the ears with Myeloma and the treatments taken. There really isn't a cure all. Trial and error. What helps one person may not help the next. I have discovered good hydration often works for me.

I just emailed both of my oncologists to ask if ringing in the ears is a common symptom of MM. I will share answers. Praying for all of us! Believing for that MM cure with no side effects! God is able!✝️
