Patient's question:
My ears haven't been affected by water, and I haven't been sick recently! However, when I woke up this morning, my head was a bit sore. By the afternoon, I noticed that my right ear's hearing seemed to have changed! Covering my left ear, I could only hear others talking, but not clearly! The next day, when I woke up and covered my left ear, I couldn't hear any sound at all! By the afternoon, my hearing improved slightly, and it seemed there was still some noise inside my ear! What is going on with me? I've never had this before, and I'm in good health, with no recent illnesses! It seems my mouth has something like gingivitis—does this condition affect the ears? I'm abroad, and it's really inconvenient to see a doctor at the hospital!Doctor's answer:
Hello, after reviewing your situation, I have made the following analysis: I believe your symptoms are very similar to those caused by tinnitus! Suggestions: Tinnitus refers to the abnormal sensation of sound that people experience without any external stimulation. It is often a precursor to hearing loss and is caused by disorders of the auditory function. Tinnitus caused by ear lesions is often accompanied by hearing loss or vertigo. Tinnitus caused by other factors may not be accompanied by hearing loss or vertigo. Treatment: Lilium Powder for Tinnitus: Take 90 grams of lily bulb and grind it into powder. Take 9 grams each time, twice a day, with warm water. It is effective for tinnitus and hearing loss caused by yin deficiency and excess fire.
