Ringing In The Ears. Could This Be Due To The Long Term Use Of Inhalers?

When i was 16 i did a form of air duster inhalant. The inhalant really effected me. I became weak, my apatite was suppressed, and my brain would rattled constantly. I was afraid to tell my patents so even with conducted test and MRIs I never told the Doc or my parents for a long time after. I am 32 now and have ringing in my ears and I don't know what else. I was wondering of the long term effects and if there is anything I can do today to strengthen the mind to make it healthier or there is really nothing i can do. Please help!

Hello
Air duster inhalant exposure ,once ,16 yrs back .should not cause such long term effects.
Now you have ringing in ears then you should meet and ENT specialist and get your ears examined and get an Pure Tone Audiometry (hearing test ) done so that the status of hearing if there was any effect of the inhalant on the ears can be seen and in addition if now you are having hearing problem which is unnoticed can be seen.
There are a battery of tests which need to be done depending on the condition of ears and hearing tests which your doctor can tell.
