Hi,
I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history your problem tinnitus is more important than hearing loss, so tinnitus may be due to many reasons so to arrive at a point you need some investigations as below-:
1) Do full blood count with differential
2) Do fasting blood sugar and TSH
3) Do MRI scan to ruled out any growth inside brain
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
