Patient's question:
On October 11th, I had my period. On October 13th at noon, I had a headache and felt uncomfortable in my ears. It was like talking in a muffled way, as if there was an amplifier. When listening to others speak, it sounded unclear, as if there were two voices. On October 14th, my hearing dropped noticeably. When listening to music, it sounded like Huang Qiang’s voice was sliding. Both ears also had mild pain. I’m very anxious!Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is likely caused by tinnitus. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.Suggestions:
Generally, the most common factors or causes of tinnitus are ear-related conditions, such as otitis externa (external ear infection), cerumen impaction (earwax blockage), acute otitis media, chronic otitis media, eustachian tube obstruction, middle ear effusion, otosclerosis, etc. If no significant abnormalities are found during the examination, it may be considered neurotinnitus. If it is neurotinnitus, it is recommended that you be admitted to a hospital's otolaryngology department for comprehensive treatment. The earlier treatment begins after onset, the better the outcome generally. Additionally, it is essential to rest well. Intravenous infusion with drugs that improve microcirculation can be considered, such as Xiangdan, Xuesaitong, and Chuanxiongning. Neurotrophic drugs, such as Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B12, can also be used. Additionally, oral medications like Cinnarizine and Nimodipine may be prescribed.
