Any Advice for Possible Lack of Blood Flow to Ear?

[kfog]

My Tinnitus and Hearing loss started about 4 weeks ago after an intense round of Basketball. I had a high level of tinnitus and hearing loss as well as ear fullness immediately after that was slightly improved over the next few days but still remains.

I'm certain this activity was the cause but gave me nearly the same symptoms as noise induced hearing loss.

I'm having trouble finding any similar cases as I wait to schedule an appointment with an ENT which could be weeks away. I am now forced to live with this moderate tinnitus while working 10 hour days in a warehouse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ENT appointment scheduled for Jan 9...... Hopefully I'm not completely deaf in that ear by then.

To increase blood flow to your ear you can try Ginkgo Biloba (I think this is what it does), as well as Piracetam and trivestal. The latter two might not be available in North American, but you might be able to get them online.

He prescribed a medicine called trivestal retard 50mg.

it is a great medicine that helped me at some point , I heard testimonials that it helped a lot of T sufferers especially the ones who did not have their T from noise exposures.
The mechanism of work for this medicine is to strengthen the circulation in your head and ears.

My ENT usually prescribes Nootropil medications to tinnitus patients. The medications is thought to increase oxygen intake in the brain. He says after a month or so of taking the medications the tinnitus disappears. My Audiologist also confirmed this.

Protect your ears from even mild noise like that of a vacuum cleaner.

I recommend you to see a doc as soon as possible.

I wouldn't consider that to be "as soon as possible". You've already let 4 weeks go by. For many hearing loss treatments, time is of the essence.

I agree. I have been calling many different ENT offices in my area. Most have told me I need a doctor referral and the rest only have appointments in January. I have a GP appointment on Dec 14 but I'm not sure what help they could provide.

I will try this. Thank you.
