Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus
Sir,
I have tinnitus in my right ear- a low hissing sound, for several years, which I have been able to put up with.
But, recently I had developed another problem in the same ear, which is a humming sound similar to mosquito humming near the ear, which is rather loud and very much disturbing, with clear feeling of blocked ear. I am unable to sleep my normal sleep with this problem.
I would be grateful to know the reason for this problem and a solution.

1. Get an appointment with an ENT specialist since he will be in better position to help you with your symptoms, also
1. one should check for Blood Pressure,neck movements, and look for pallor and murmur and check for cochlear symptoms [deafness/tinnitus] & vestibular symtpoms [vertigo & dizziness]
2. If the symptoms are not controlled promptly, ask for Hb%, X-ray cervical spine, ENT & Ophthalmic check up
3. In old age cervical spondilytis is one of the commonest cause for giddiness.
4. If your are hypertensive and complaining of above symptoms then either it may be excess dose or postural hypotension in which case one has to stop the drug for a day, then adjust the dose or use a different drug
5. till you get appointment by the physician:
. bed rest,avoid movement of the neck,if giddiness is severe
. stop smoking/alcohol
. make sure drugs like anti histaminic, or anti hypertensive are not the culprit
. use cervical collar if cervical spondylitis
