Get labs: See your doctor and get the thyroid labs rechecked. If you are hyperthyroid, you could have hair loss. If the thyroid is normal, then i would look for other causes for hair loss.

High or low: Hair loss can occur from either too much thyroid hormone or too little. Has your thyroid level been checked recently? Also, there are many causes of hair loss that have nothing to do with the thyroid. Check w/your doctor.
