Over the past few days, it seems like I'm not hearing very well. Can't follow what someone is saying if there's background noise. Need music and the tv a little louder so I can hear. And the constant ringing in my ears.

But then some sounds are really loud. High pitched sounds especially.

I feel like I'm detoxing pretty well with the supplements I'm taking. I haven't been able to take a detox bath for a few days.

Is this just a sign I need to detox more? Or is it another Lyme symptom?

My hearing has steadily become worse over the years of my lymes and co infections. I have to ask people all the time what they just said and get really close to them to hear. It seems like I am in a wind tunnel. It has been especially bad lately, and I have been sweating twice a day, taking lymes herbs and detox baths so maybe it is a little of both?

Im sorry to hear you are having trouble with you hearing. You could try detoxing more and see if it increases or decreases maybe.
Good luck, I wish you well!

Be careful - some abx can cause damage to the ears. Make sure to mention this issue to your doctor.

That said, Lyme & coinfections may also mess with hearing. I've got perceived hyperacusis in my left ear - but on a test, the hearing in that ear is only 5% different from the right ear. I could swear it's 200% different!

Make sure it's not wax build up.

That does effect your hearing.

Otherwise, keep detoxing.

Could be wax, an infection, or oxidative stress. Some herbs and other supplements can cause oxidative stress just like the pathogens. It could be a methylation pathway issue and you have free radical formation. If that is the cause, it's a type of nerve damage. I've seen it a lot more in males than females for some reason. Support your methylation pathway deficiencies and that should slow the oxidative stress.

My hearing is going as well.
