• Common Symptoms: From tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, hissing) to trouble hearing in noisy settings or understanding high-pitched voices—know the signs.

• Autoimmune Ties: Hashimoto’s increases the risk of autoimmune ear disorders like AIED and Meniere’s disease, which cause tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss.

• Getting Evaluated: What to expect during hearing tests

• Practical Tips: What's the story on earwax?!! And how about Q-Tips?
