Diagnosed With Tinnitus
I ve had tinnitus for going on about 2 months now. It was initially just in my right ear, but now I can hear it in both ears, usually. I ve also had occasional eye flashes and eye floaters, but those didn t come along until after I started worrying a lot about my health. I ve also had headaches that will move around my head over the past few days.

Hi dear ,
As per your query you have tinnitus and headache . Tinnitus isn't a condition itself but it's a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder. Sometimes tinnitus along with head ache also represent conditions like acoustic neuroma and meniere's disease . Simple reasons like stress and anxiety can also cause tinnitus and headaches . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination and to find out exact cause . Doctor may order certain tests like audiological test , rushing test , high and low pitched test . Doctor may prescribe tricyclic antidepressants , alprazolam and devices like hearing aids and masking devices .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
