Brief Answer:
Tinnitus and hearing loss

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
Tinnitus doesn't cause any hearing loss. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are caused due to sensory neural loss. Tinnitus is perceived earlier. it suggests a progressive disease.
You should get a pure tone audiometry done and send me the report.
The flavonoids are said to work but not that effective.
Please follow up with the audiometry report and tell me what medicines have u been taking so far so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks and regards
