Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
This morning my left ear started to ring. I was already at work when I noticed a sudden drop in my ability to hear out of that ear. It sounded like I had an ear plug in. A few times I felt a bit disoriented but not bad. I am an interpreter for deaf people and rely on my ears for my income. Is this tinnitis or something else?
Well ringing in ear may occur due to local or central cause. Locally there may b wax its beter u maY consult ENT person to check fr ear by otoscope and if plugged he may clean it. If its clean then central cause shoud be sought out lik acoustic neoroma by doing mri brain. U may b sugested medicin increasing cerebrovasculr blood flow lik piracetam. Hope u got my point
