What Causes Tinnitus And Loss Of Hearing With Vomiting?

My husband started having ringing in his left ear as well as hearing loss 24 hours ago. He now has started vomiting. Saw urgent care dr today and his ear looks fine. Prescribed ibuprofen and anti nausea medications but can t keep anything down. Does this warrant an ER visit?

Hello,
Thankyou for asking your question at health care magic.

If a patient comes to me with these complaints I would like to know few more details
-When did the episodes start?
-How long each episodes last and how frequent?
-Any vertigo (spinning sensation)
History of syncope
-history of exposure to loud noise
-fever, headache associated with the symptoms
-Any medications used

Tinnitus and hearing loss can be due to infections, impacted wax, noise damage to nerves in ear and menier's disease(which is also associated with veryigo)

You will nees further evaluation including Otoscopy, audiometry, tests assessing function of inner ear and more investigations as warranted by results of intial investigations.

I recommend that you consult your primary care physician / ENT specialist

Hope I was able to answer your question
Please feel free to address any more concerns
