What Causes Tinnitus, Hearing Loss And Dizziness?
Question: I have had a tinnitus sound in my ear for about a year and a half now. I went and saw a ENT and wasn't really diagnosed with anything severe, ENT checked me out did a hearing test on, My Right ear was slightly off but not bad, said my ear is red, told me to take lipoflavonoids for the ringing to come back after a year, so basically through this whole year I've been going through ear popping when blowing my nose, Sinuses on right side of my nose clogged, and the awful ringing in the ear, I did also have one episode of vertigo, but I am not sure if it was from a dirty plunger that I had used to flush my ear out at the time.
Now my ear is bleeding and I feel pain in my ear if I try to clean it out. Is this possibly cancer? or Cyst? Meniere's Disease?
