How Can severe Hearing Loss Be Treated?
Hello, I am having a couple problems with my head. I am experiencing sudden hearing loss in my left ear which is followed by a very intense loud ringing which all this last only a few seconds. Also, whenever I look up and put my arms above my head I get extremely light headed and dizzy. What could be causing this?

There are many medical conditions that can cause sudden hearing loss.
An examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, I would recommend taking medication such as Meclizine hydrochloride to prevent the tinnitus and dizziness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
