Could Tinnitus And Dizziness Be Related To Bell's Palsy?
I suffered a jaw injury in 1976 from an extracted wisdom tooth. Damage to nerve 7, 9 and 11 are documented by the VA. I have a big problem with dizziness and ringing in the ears - both ears. is the dizziness and ringing in the ears related to bell s palsy?
Tinnitus is not a disease in itself, but it is a symptom that indicates that there is some underlying illness. I would suggest you consult an Otolaryngologist, and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like audiometry, x-ray, MRI can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.
In case if ringing does not resolve, then you can be advised medicines like Tricyclic anti-depressant like Amitryptiline, anti-anxiety medication like Alprazolam, as well as multivitamin supplements can be advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein

Could Tinnitus And Dizziness Be Related To Bell's Palsy?
Hello, Tinnitus is a common issue, and most causes are benign and temporary. However, it lasts for a longer period, then it should be evaluated. Tinnitus can occur due to causes like chronic ear infection, perforated eardrum, Eustachian tube dysfunction, Meniere s disease, TMJ disorders, Acoustic Neuroma etcetera. Tinnitus is not a disease in itself, but it is a symptom that indicates that there is some underlying illness. I would suggest you consult an Otolaryngologist, and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like audiometry, x-ray, MRI can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.
