Sudden Hearing Loss, Ear Fullness, Ringing Constantly
Recently I noticed in 1 ear a fullness, increased ringing, and a strange static like distortion at elevated sounds like music. I have in the past very good hearing. If the sound in the room I am in goes up so does the ear ringing. No vertigo had 1 bout around 6 years ago none since that time. ENT put me on Dexamethosone for 2 weeks and no help. I am 63 years old. What are best options after 8 weeks that work well low risk to patient.

Having 4 loud tinnitus noises and now habituated and a twelve year American Tinnitus Association support group leader I understand SHL or sudden hearing loss. I am not a medical Doctor and cannot suggest drugs however do you wear hearing aids for the loss or has it returned with just the tinnitus. I suggest you look into sound therapy, white or some soft noise that eventually will disconnect the sounds your hearing as your brain adjusts to the sound therapy. This takes time, patience, relaxation exercises such as deep breathing to readjust your brain from fright to flight. Sound therapy works for many. You can find more information on http://www.ata.org or message me I would be glad to help.
