I had a ringing in my right ear about two years ago, and went to a GP who gave me Sturgeron Forte for the Tinnitus and also a wrong diagnosis initially. By the time they did tests etc it was a two month interval and not being satisfied I went to another ENT Specialist. He put me on steroids but by that time it was too late so I have lost all hearing in my right ear. A cochlea implant was mentioned.
Over the weekend I got up and there was now an additional low pitched sound coming from my head which is now affecting my left ear to the point that every time I speak or there is any sound around me, including other peoples voices, the sound amplifies and sends a feedback making it difficult for me to hear. I visited the ENT again yesterday and he says that the problem is also in my inner ear and was given a prescription to get Lyrica, Calcort, and Neurorubine Forte.
I have been researching on the internet to see what could have caused this. On the two occasions I had just recovered from a flu, so it may be viral. So I am looking for as much information that I can get concerning treatment and management of my hearing loss. Can you suggest what may be causing all this and the most appropriate treatment. Please note I live outside the USA?
