I have allergies and Post nasal drip, and a cough in the AM. I take cough medicine and a decongestant a few times a week. But this came on suddenly first it seemed like a loud noise, then the ringing in the ears- so I started to use OTC ear ringing drops, and Ear wax Drops. The ringing is a little less intense, but I cannot hear certain tones from my left ear, and hearing in general, in the left ear is bad.

Hearing loss with tinnitus
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the information.
The tinnitus and hearing loss is probably due to age related sensory neural loss. You should get a pure tone audiometry done to see the cause and amount of loss. Also get a xray paranasal sinuses done.
The further management depends on the reports.
You should get yourself examined by an ENT specialist and get the ears cleaned.
Take tablet cinnarizine twice daily and tablet vitamin b12 once daily for a week.
All the medicines i prescribed you will be available only on prescription.
Follow up with the reports.
Wish you get well soon.
Thanks and regards
