My Right Ear Gave Out and Started Ringing Really Loud — Mom Recommends a Supplement

[Mat V]

So the other day my right ear gave out and started ringing really loud. I asked my mom if we could go to the doctor as soon as possible. Of course she first recommends me these pills shes been taking for her T, claiming they work. Tinnitus Away they're called I believe. Can someone hear please say that they DON'T work or link me to an article saying they dont? My mom is so convinced they work she wont even take me to the doctor unless I try them.

Never mind the pills are called Lipo Flavonoid

Wtf this is bad. Bad bad bad. What's the name of the pills? Look them up and show her comments saying they're a scam. Try to see a doctor for steroids ASA-now.

There is no cure for tinnitus. See the link below - many people have tried those lipoflavonoids, most didn't notice any effect. A small fraction had their T fade, but it is not clear whether T would have faded by itself.

If you have been exposed to a loud noise, or if your T is a result of sudden deafness, you need to get prednisone as soon as possible.

You need to be seen by an ENT doctor as soon as possible. You may need immediate treatment.
Good luck.

For SSHL they say vertigo is a symptom, I didn't experience that. I think it may have to do with me hitting my head a week ago, my left ear tinnitus is gone ever since I hit my head. I don't know if its SSHL though?

Do you think its SSHL? Or is it because I hit my head last week?

My right ear is not Deaf, my T has just grown a bit more than usual and feels full

If it were me, I wouldn't wait that long.

I really hope it's head trauma, and can go away. Better safe than sorry.

I wish I could go sooner, should I just see a regular docotor then?

Thats true, but I feel as if the doctor wont think its SSHL what do I tell him?

I honestly don't know. Ask him to help anyways just to be sure.

Thanks for the support, honestly the best my mom will do is take me to a CVS to get it checked, hopefully the person there realizes somethings wrong.
