Suggest Treatment For High Frequency Hearing Loss

I have been to two different ear nose and throat specialists. I have a loud sound in my ear and it does feel full and I always want to try popping as if I m driving down from the mountains. One doctor said allergies (flonase and decongestant) the next says it is high frequency hearing loss, no solution. It is driving me crazy. It gets very loud at night and I can t stand low ceilings closed in places like a restaurant. Makes me very irritable. I m must ,ake a long overseas trip and I don t think I will make it! Help! Do I go to a third doctor? This has increased in annoyance for years!

Hi

Welcome in H.C.M.

I understand your concern and most likely you are having eustachian catarrh with tinnitus.

For confirmation of above you have to go for these three basic investigations

- Pure tone audiometry.

- Impedance audiometry.

- OAE test.

No doubt most of the time tinnitus is incurable but some times patient get relief by - Ginkobiloba.
- Caroverine.
- Methicobalamine.
- Cyclospasmol.

So it will be better to consult your doctor and if conservative treatment in the form of medicine fails than use of hearing aid with tinnitus marker may be helpful.

Thanks for consulting H.C.M.
