Hearing loss and root canals

[MsTelma]

Is there a confirmed connection between root canal and hearing loss? Can that loss be reversed?

Long Story Short:  Find YouTubeVideo titled Dangers of Root Canal video. This is the video I watched just today and will definitely have myself checked out again. Very good info and educ. from this video! Dr Rouzita Rashtian, DDS
My story started backApril2014 (age 51) woke up, dizzy, nauseous, and quickly went back to sleep. Within a few hours, woke up and started throwing up.  Immediately sought treatment, testing, MRI, cardiologist, neurologist, you name it.  Diagnosis SSDHS with 24/7 tinnitus. We tried hearing aids in hopes of getting some improvement. Single sided deafness with very loud tinnitus 24/7.  Told by ENT doctor this was my NEW NORMAL.  Fast forward: To this day 2/21/24,(now age 63) I have on and off looked for answers, never wanting to give up on finding out the cause. Today I happened to be on my smart TV scanning YouTube videos (wasn't looking for what I found), when I saw a video on Root Canals and body illnesses. Loss of hearing and tinnitus were right at top of list. I have had extensive dental work all of my life. Multiple Root canals with one known failed root canal that showed an abscess.  This root canal was done by another dentist at least 10 years earlier if not longer.  Point is Root canals are a big deal and can cause other problems in the body years later. Definitely worth looking in to.

Would love to hear a response for your question. My hearing has suffered after a root canal on 10.24.11. No one can tell me how to stop the continual buzz in my head that started 10.24.11 and has NOT stopped since. Antibiotics and anxiety meds dont help. The ENT said it was tinnitus. (wow, i developed tinnitus with an acute onset????)
THere are tons of people posting on the web asking the same question you do.....why isnt anyone getting any answers????
