The first sign something eas etong wss hesting loss on my tight ear 2 moths ago. Stsrting last week my right eye is so blurry it is difficult to see and I have veryigo on and off. I have had a cervical fusion on C5/7 and need C6/7 done asap. I don t know if the 2 are related. I just thought I mention that. However if you can answer my question pretending like you don t know that and then knowing that is there a difference in your answer?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to tension type headache or a sinus infection.
They do not seem to be related to the cervical fusion, as the localisation of the pain is not typical.
The loss of hearing could be related to an inner ear infection.
For this reason, it is necessary consulting with an ENT specialist and performing a sinus X ray study and a complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
