Suggest Treatment For Ringing In Ears

Hi, I have a left ear problem. I had a fall (just seemed to lose my balance, one minute at the top of the patio stairs, next on the ground which resulted in my badly spraining both my ankles. This was June 2012. In November of that year I had a left ear affection which I was given antibiotics for but I have been left with a ringing in my ear and dull hearing. Towards the end of last year I was diagnosed with a jaw disorder, mainly to the left side which I have had treatment for. I visit my dentist on a regular basis of whom referred me to a consultant at the time. However, inside my ear towards the back near the cartilage/bone area is tender and I experience a fluid albeit lightly sometimes running down the back of my throat. I had an MRI and hearing test but would like to know if there is anything more that can be done. Look forward to an answer to my query.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having problem of ringing in the ears.
My response to your question is as follows.

Ringing in the ears is called as tinnitus.These symptoms of tinnitus and decreased hearing are because of middle ear and inner ear problems. The reports and the history suggests conditions like serous otitis media. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-infammatory drugs and decongestants.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for any further questions and I will be happy to answer and assist you.

Thank you
With regards
