RE: Hearing loss caused by my C-pap ?
My hearing loss seems to coincides with the same time that I started using the cpap? In two weeks my ENT appointment and will be asking? Thinking-about I really like Cpap  Rolleyes I Will be asking and will repost! Anyway hope I can figure it out and hear again 

Oh I seem to have better hearing in high elevation where I go similar to Mexico City elevation 
So anyone else have same experience  Thanks

xnlife - That sounds like a problem with venting the ears through the Eustachian tubes. The cpap increases the inside pressure, high altitude decreases the pressure. I hope your ENT can sort it out for you.

Best wishes.

Since CPAP is a lot lower pressure than blowing up a balloon, do you think inflating balloons cause hearing loss? I am betting not.

A question I have now is I seem to be getting a ear problem that has resulted in a loss of hearing and I think it's from the pressure of the machine. It feels like air is pushing out on my left ear .

Has anyone else ever had this problem?
Can a C-pap cause a ear/hearing loss?

I haven't gotten with my doctor on this yet, just asking Around for now.

Thanks
Hi Hogman44

Please see this thread:

If you need to swallow, do so after breathing out as it does help stop the ears from popping and aggravating the issue. Some of us may be more sensitive to air pressure. 

Search under "blocked ears" and a couple of threads talking about similar issues will come out.

The doctor says coffee does not affect my tinnitus and it's got lots of antioxidants....however, the after dinner drinks are a different matter altogether.

The other thing I have noticed is when a big storm comes in hearing is worse (big low pressure system) pressure and humming in the ear?
Anyone else have been having this issue  Thanks
