Hi

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through query regarding sudden sensorineural hearing loss with tinnitus, though you getting relief from medical treatment with steroid as far as hearing is concerned but tinnitus is still there.

Your treatment history is favoring allergic pathology going on and as you got relief in hearing you will also get relief in tinnitus after some time. Usually such cases improves in 2 to 4 weeks, but if after that you feel any problem of tinnitus than you may try -

(a) Gincobilova.

(b) Caroverine.

(c) Mecobalamine.


These above are well known anti tinnitus remedies.
