Has anyone experienced hearing loss with their migraines? I meant to talk with my neurologist at my appointment yesterday about this but I forgot. I figure I'll bring this up with my ENT doctor in a couple of weeks. When I get a migraine, I always get an ear ache which I know isn't unusual.
But I was wondering if you can get permanent hearing loss from migraine attacks. I just feel like I don't have my full hearing in my right ear. I think I'm going to ask for a hearing test.

I would say an earache IS unusual with migraine. That doesn't sound typical at all to me. Experts please correct me.
I have Meniere's Disease (or syndrome). I had consistent low-frequency hearing loss until I had been on triamterene (a diuretic) for a year. That hearing loss is gone and now I just have fluctuating hearing loss during attacks like the one I'm in now. The hearing in my right Meniere's ear is down at this moment. The hearing loss and the 24/7 tinnitus were two things that clued my migraine speck into thinking that more was going on that just migraine. 8'] http://stormlaughter.blogspot.com/ http://stormlaughter.deviantart.com/ basilar-artery migraine, MAV, BPPV, migraine with and without aura, cluster headaches, but no tension headaches!

Hearing loss would make me think it may be something more than just migraine, but of course I'm not a doctor so my opinion may not count for much! Have you seen our article on IIH, HERE? I'm not sure if you're experiencing any other symptoms on the list, but it may be worth asking about if you are.

I think you should see your doctor or neuro for any new aura symptoms, cause you never know, and besides some of them are freaky. For me I do get ear pain, buzzing and hearing loss in my ears before and during a migraine sometimes. If it were a migraine aura, as opposed to something to do with your ears or something else entirely, then I don't think the hearing loss would stick... but that would be a good question to pose your neuro... after all, I definately have a prolonged visual aura.

Heather.
I've never heard of Migraine causing permanent hearing loss, but please don't take that as the final word. You do need to call your doctor about this. This would be a good question for Ask the Clinician. If you'd like, you can submit the question HERE .  Teri Robert Lead Expert, MyMigraineConnection terimmc@helpforheadaches.com

MW,
Earache with Migraine isn't all that uncommon. The trigeminal nerve becomes inflamed during a Migraine. The branch of it that runs under the orbits of the eyes, along the sinuses, can make the teeth and ears ache. Take a look at this illustration, Pathways of Migraine.

I sometimes experience a ringing in my ear and temporary hearing loss with my migraines, but so far my hearing has always returned. I hope that will continue!
