Hello doctor, I am 27 years old. My weight is 45 kg. I have lost my hearing ability in both the ears. My problem first started before seven years. I showed this case to some ENT doctors. Finally, my condition is declared as SNHL. However, let me express the actual descriptions or symptoms of my problem here now so that I can get possible help and advice from experts here. There is always a loud sound mixed with ringing in the ears. The pitch of sound does not remain the same. Sometimes, increases (high pitch) or decreases (low pitch). However, it is continuous and that continuous sound hinders me from understanding the speech. Consonants become blurred to me due to such irritating sounding or ringing. I cannot distinguish sounds regularly. It is irritating and disturbing. The right ear is more affected and the problem is increasing gradually. I had observed one fact that on inserting drips through my veins in hand (when I was hospitalized) that continuous sounding had stopped for a while and so I felt normal. What inference can be made from the incident? Please help.
Hello. You seem to be suffering from sensorineural hearing loss and associated tinnitus. Whereas the SNHL is permanent, if it were addressed itself initially, then it could have been reversed. Now, the issue seems to be of tinnitus that is bothering you the most. For the management of tinnitus, we have some medicines. These treatment options are worth considering. Many patients have obtained variable results and improvements using these measures. A 100% improvement is hard to achieve, though, but reasonable development giving significant relief from tinnitus can be achieved. For further information consult an ENT otolaryngologist online -->
