Hi Dr,
I'm new to Tinnitus and have already seen a ENT, made a hearing test and a MRI.
I have a moderate hearing loss at high frequencies, but nothing else was found and so the ENT sent me home without any solution or prescription.
But before I went to the ENT another doctor prescribed me Cetirizine Dihydrochloride that I stopped taking after seeing the ENT.
Since there was no solution I recalled that Cetirizine Dihydrochloride gave me a relief of 50% of the sound and makes the sound disappear from one of my hears.
This happens the day after I take the medicine and only lasts for 1-2 days after I stop taking it.
Since I'm a noob on the T I don't really know if its the medicine of just my T or brain playing tricks on me.
On the other hand I read that this medicine is Ototoxic and can cause Tinnitus.
It doesn't make much sense. Could this mean something? Should I take this Cetirizine?
Another question.
Is it normal to feel some pressure and some small spikes of pain in the hear with Tinnitus?
Should I seek a ENT that could investigate further or there is nothing else to do?
Thank for your time
