Please talk with me ONLY if you know about Tinnitus .....
Ok ....
To Make It Short .....
I have Tinnitus from Sound Rock Concert Damage -- I use to be in a Band ) in my Right Ear ( sometimes it moves around from ear to ear ) .......
On a Scale of 1-10 ... I would believe mine is a 1.5
A week ago Last Sunday I was with my 11 year old Stepson Golfing ....
He Never drove a Golf Cart Before and did Great ..... ( until the 18th hole )....
He was going uphill and the Cart was leaning in his ( the drivers) direction .... He put his foot out
because he thought the cart was tipping .... ( it wasn't) .... and he slipped out but his other foot got stick on the Gas and he still hung on to the wheel .... Before I could react or do something .... We Drove HEAD ON --- into a Palm Tree ..... Going about 12-15 miles per hour .... Heard a HUGE BANG and The Sound of My Golf Clubs Hitting Right Behind My Head
That evening ( 6 hrs Later ) I quickly got to Chiropractor for an adjustment ......
He said I don't have Whiplash but I have Soft Tissue Trauma ...
Lower Back Sore
Back - In between Should Blades Sore
Neck Sore
Now I notice my Tinnitus went from a 1.5 in Volume to about a 5.0
And I have it now in Both Ears .....
My Audiologist says The Ringing Spike should Only be Temporary ....
It is in BOTH Ears Now and I am SCARED .... I Hardly Sleep and I Am Terrified the Ringing Volume Increase and Now being in Both Ears are going to be Permanent ..... Have you Ever Heard of This .....
My Audiologists Assistant says ... I Have Trauma In the Neck and Shoulders .... and Once That Calms Down ... It will Go Away .....
The Noise of Hitting a Tree Sounded as Loud as a 12 Gauge Shot Gun going Off ... and I didn't have any Ear Plugs in my ears .....
How is it Now I hear it in Both Ears and That is what SCARES Me the Most .....
I am TERRIFIED because I hear it in Both Ears ..... Have You Ever heard of this Happening ....
And Have You Ever Heard of it Going Away ( Back Down to BASE ) .... And Leaving the Other Ear and Go Back to Normal ...... The Way it use to Work
Just Trying to Understand it All ....
SCARED , CONFUSED ,,, and HORRIFIED .....

Detailed Answer:
HI
THANKS for the information.
Acute noise trauma is the most common cause of tinnitus. It usually improves in 10 to 15 days. You should get a pure tone audiometry done to see if you have any associated nerve injury.
Avoid any further loud noise exposure or trauma.
Take tablet cinnarizine twice daily
tablet vitamin b12 1500 micrograms once daily.
Take these for atleast 2 weeks.
All the medicines i prescribed you will be available only on prescription.
Any further queries are always welcome.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
Tinnitus
Detailed Answer:
Hi
if you feel a fluctuation in the ears, it can be due to eustachian tube blockage. You should get a pure tone audiometry done.
Along with the medicines I have prescribed earlier, take steam inhalation and chew a gum and also take an oral decongestants and nasal decongestant drops for 5 days. This feeling of fluctuation will subside.
Tinnitus can take few days for complete relief.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks and regards
